Saving Rio streaming video?

I recently upgraded to Windows 10. Does anyone know how I can capture the streaming video files without purchasing additional software?

TIA

3P AR participation in the USA?

Hello all,

I was having a conversation with someone from Europe recently, and the topic of 3P AR came up. The question was asked about how big is this form of competition in the USA.

Does anyone have any educated guesses about how many active 3P AR shooters there are here?

TIA

Re: Industry - Summary of Proposed 2017-2020 ISSF Rules Chan

This one is as clear as mud... Pistol Sights Fiber optic and reflecting color sights are prohibited. What are "reflecting color sights"? I can understand not allowing reflecting sights since they would be similar to mirror sights which are already prohibited. At least, I think that's the c...

Is RIKA still in business?

Our host is no longer carrying their trainer. Is it out of production now?

TIA

P.S. Is the only USA source for SCATT now at scattusa.com?

Re: air pistol for timed, rapid fire practice?

Are there any 1911-type air pistols (not BB) out there that are suitable for BE training? I see several that are available, but I'm wondering if any BE shooters actually use them.

I know about the Steyrs, Aeron, etc. Just wondering if a good 1911 AP exists.

TIA

Re: Steyr LP 50E - current opinions?

I looked at the 50E I ended up with the 10E. Some of the 50E triggers would have unexpected doubles but not all of them had this issue, my understanding it was very random. Steyr tried fixing, the fixes/redesigns weren't 100% so they decided to stop production. I did eventually buy a used LP50 with...

Steyr LP 50E - current opinions?

Hello all,

I know there were some issues with this pistol, and I believe it is no longer in production.

For those who have one, what is your opinion of it now? Is it worthwhile to have or is it only useable as a paperweight?

TIA

Re: Collegiate Pistol Championships

It would be nice if the US could incentivize college pistol shooters the way we do college rifle shooters. I'll be damned if I know how. Hi John, I think the problem is collegiate pistol is not ...

I'm afraid the guy is SOL. I know of nothing that he might want. I suspect he's not willing to drop a $K or so for a Steyr LP5. He may be willing to do exactly this. I have this post on the B/S/T board: http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=51749 This pistol would be for his personal us...

Re: 5 shot AP for fun?

Not having any luck finding a CA 5 shot AP below the level of a Steyr. The Drulov DU-10 Condor looks interesting in that at least it can be filled from a CO2 bottle. Reminds me of the Tau. And, the price is reasonable. Does anyone have a link to the Drulov factory Web site? None of my searches have ...

Re: 5 shot AP for fun?

One clarification. My friend is really pressing for this pistol to be CA. Haven't found any pistols in the style he wants powered by anything other than 12 gram CO2 cylinders. Let me know if anyone has a lead on CA one.

TIA
