Re: Allowable materials for air pistol grips?

No rules on material of the grip in the rules, but it needs to be safe.

Re: Loosing stability without feeling tired

It's pretty hard for me to give much feedback on the information you have provided, but I will give some general tips. If you post some video either here or via DM/email I will have a look. Low blood sugar will cause the described symptoms. Hand full of dates half-hour before shooting will help. Gra...

Re: How to clean the MG2 ?

3 screws in the front, surrounding the dangerous end. Take them out, pull barrel forward. ^ +1. Go further and cleaning the elevator, etc is a bit of a crap-shoot; more moving parts than the space-shuttle (thankfully no o-rings involved). I've done the old and new models before. Goes something like...

Re: V.A. Razorenov - "Handle - a means to achieve higher res

Subtraction technologies (CNC routing) have been used successfully for years for grip manufacture. Rink offers a service where a grip is fitted using a temporary putty (skilled work), scanned with a 3D LIDAR scanner, and the reproduced as a complete piece with a CNC router. It isn't enough to scan a...

Re: Thumbs Down ?????

A pistol grip is a mixture between a cylindrical and spherical grip. I have read (and heard) that a spherical grip is the ideal human interface device for fine control, but has practical limitations for pistol shooting. The Анатолий Поддубный article (http://targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=57...

No, it is an open competition. Perhaps interestingly there have been a number of shooters that have successfully competed at the highest level into their 70s.

Re: Value of Walther ???

Hard to say with an older model, I would be inclined to price it around the value of a LP-1P or P30/34 of similar condition.
$750-$950 is about all I would offer for it otherwise could get into a 162EI or a LP10 for not much more.

Sight picture, and trigger control. Watch the sights, but don't admire them.

Re: Trouble when attempting to charge Air Tanks for PCP.

I have found that blowing from the lower part of the chest (in the deep diaphragm) can help; be sure to pace yourself. Or a SCUBA tank, for clean/dry air. There are some cute C/F wrapped tanks available, but steel is real. A fire department will have BA filling facilities - box of beers should get y...

Re: Walther GSP Trouble Shooting?

If it got better with oil on the bullets then check for carbon ring in chamber, I had trouble with that in the past. Real easy way to check is to drop a good quality (to dimension) cartridge into the chamber and it should just fall in and seat. I've also have had trouble with a sludged up magazine. ...
