Re: Looking for a Match Pistol

To add to the choice of bottles in this neck of the woods we also have "surface air" bottles this means you do not need the adaptor to clamp on the "dive" bottle outlet, there is just a gauge, valve knob and female thread for the adaptor that comes with your pistol to screw into....

Re: Looking for a Match Pistol

Interesting is it not when you start to know something about what you want you soon learn there is so much more you need to know. Here is an example of air use: My Morini fills to 200 bar, as do my steyrs but my pardini fills to 250 bar, I and most others use 300 bar cylinders and fill carefully so ...

Hope this is not taken as rude by you chaps but the ISSF have launched international rules for supported pistol and rifle shooting "aimed" at exactly you chaps that still love everything about shooting but are struggling to hold the pistol to your liking, proper supported rifle and pistol ...

To add even more quandary to the fun problem you have, how about a short version of all of the pistols you have mentioned as they are lighter.

Re: Abort Question

How long is a bit of string, I do not reject nearly enough, this is this years big focus for me and it seems to be working, it is making that default cut off point stick and not over run by trying to improve that is so tough, I've set myself a limit of 3 seconds in the aim area.

Re: Pardini K12 trigger question

This "grease" is a molybdenum paste it is very slippery in fact the molecular size of the molybdenum is very small and it attaches to the steel at a molecular level making the surface (sear) super smooth and slippery - leave it alone it is there doing a very good job! If you look at all of...

Re: Pardini K12 trigger question

Here is what I do but it is at your risk as I take my setups to the very edge for competitive reasons and only use it for dry fire and on the range pointing towards the target down range, it holds 500g and a coin - the coin is my safety to pass equipment control easily. Put K12 into dry fire mode wi...

Re: Long trigger pull a good trainer for chicken finger?

I've tried everything (I think) long pull, rolling trigger, single stage etc, etc, and there are no silver bullets, they work for a while then falls to bits as mentioned. Keep it simple weight about 60/40, first / second stage, short take up on first stage, blade correctly placed using the scatt but...

Re: Pardini K12 trigger question

The k12 trigger is beautifully simple and easy to see what is going on when you adjust the screw for the first and second stage weight but to do this you must take the grip off to see it and all is explained by looking at the mechanism. Don't touch the hammer spring compression screw (it is locked u...

Re: Can anyone convince me to keep using center hold for 10m?

Bottom of the card is what I use now for sport Pistol, I was using sub six for precision and center hold for rapid, that was not helping, quite a few use the card bottom. I use a real low POA on 10m and get away as far as possible from the black fuzzy blob, this is in an effort to get it as far as p...

Re: Suggestions for a postal match structure?

Hi It is important to have divisions for each band of average score - competitors declare their average at the start. This gives everyone something to shoot for and to progress upwards to a higher division as they improve, you could just get the first five rounds shot and then put them in divisions,...

Re: How to analyze evolution of SCATT training files?

As you have found out you can model saved sessions against each other or files from other shooters that are sent to you or you down load from the examples from scatt. I've not found a way of comparing more than two files and you can not "fiddle with them" but you can edit your notes if you...

Re: Unable to focus on sights

Leon
This is exactly the route I've gone down and my eyesight is not that far out, but I want perfect (this is a precision sport after all) and opticians here were going for best guess. Read what Don Nygord has said in the matter in the past, he was spot on.

Re: Morini CM 162 EI Velocity Which Way To Decrease?

Sorry cannot help with the velocity being too high, but yes just loosen two screws on barrel fixing and turn a bit and re-lock but keep pressure inward to keep pressure on the first "O" ring on the start of the barrel.
