Old air pellet tin, camphor tablet, book of matches that fits inside tin and you're away laughing! Works in hot or cold weather, doesn't melt in the heat of summer, cheap as chips, lasts for years, not pressurised so can be taken on air plane and smells good. Sorry to our Murican friends, down-under...

Broken firing pin in Walther GSP

In competition yesterday, I managed to break a firing pin in my .22 Walther GSP. The question I would like to post is; in an emergency in a match, after claiming a "break and cease to function", could I safely swap the bolt from my old OSP - designed for .22 short, and use it for .22 long ...

For ISSF Centre Fire, there is only .32 - .38. The best CF shooters of the world will use .32 for many reasons. As for Revolver or Semi-auto, I think it is personal preference.

I find Conradin's post interesting and I see what he is trying to say and question. I would like to share a story that may amuse. Some years ago, a friend bought a new, very expensive target rifle. He had problems with the new rifle, couldn't get it to print as well as the "old" one, so pr...

ISSF Air Pistol Training Games - ideas required

I am currently coaching several junior shooters in Air Pistol and am looking for ideas for shooting games that will not only help with training, but also make training fun and challenging. I have two or three games that I use, but am always looking for something new. Any ideas would be a great help.

A tip that I use that may be of some use for you. I put an old cylinder "O ring" over the shaft of the filling adaptor, hard up against the nut that screws onto your master refill bottle. When you screw your empty cylinder on to be refilled, you screw the cylinder on firmly but you won't h...
