TargetTalk

Well done and did you enjoy it? Well you have got as far as hunting out this site and asking questions so you it sounds as if you may have. Well if you got all 60 shots on the target card for the first time in picking up a target pistol - yes you are doing well, did your pals do the same bet they di...

As you have caught the competition bug can I suggest a way of short-circuiting your problems - join a club that shoots air at 10m, they will have club guns too so you can experience what real target pistols are capable of. What you will also glean from joining a club is how to shoot 10m as there is ...

Splendid sight alignment explanation homework Doug and very clear and easy to understand, also thank you '1963 for the insight of how you approach the task once you can keep your eyes on the sights, this I'm trying over a period of time to see if I can get it to work.

Found the French animation that is realistic to movement of poi relating to the movement of sights over target vis movement of front sight to back, it is after the short introduction.

Take the pistol out of their hands sit them down and explain why it is best not to use the black as an aiming mark / point and why looking at that black blob will stunt their progress - can you list them yourself? To show them how it works - put a large target on the wall and make a silhouette of th...

For brightness use a Grey filter all of the others are used to make the "white" and the black contrast better and normally used outdoors in daylight, everyone sees differently, but those megalink targets use LED's to light them up so will be at a frequency of about 6000K which is the frequ...

Classic - don't do something new at a comp stick with what you have built up with your shot process in training. Work at the low area hold and making your stance produce a Natural point of aim - move about until it is the best you can do, you will slowly "get it" and don't ever look at the...

This is a classic example of what I explain when I'm coaching, the reason you are getting a fuzzy front sight when you aim under the black and the target light is on is because your eyes are getting drawn to the target, and you are not then focusing on the front sight. Turning the light off stops th...

RWS also produce military ammo, why do you think we are all finding it difficult get our favourite match pellets at the moment.

Just a thought, have you adjusted the trigger weight, and gone light on the second stage, if you go too light the trigger will not reset or will go intermittent. There are other things but if it is new send it to the national importer to deal with or if you have no back up in that respect send to th...

As you know if you have ordered Rink grips when they give a delivery date that is months away they do stick to it and are very reliable, Thomas has added more products to what his business makes so perhaps that has hit delivery times a bit. We have seen a jump in enquiries at our club to try pistol ...

For a month at least dry fire on a blank wall and shoot at blank targets and don't shoot at a target card, get that shot process to begin to be engrained and your brain used to just looking at the sights, Then when you do put a card up shoot exactly as you did on the blank stuff, then go back to dry...

What a superb idea to build competitive shooting in your area, good luck to the spark plugs that are driving this.
Just a bit far though for me to pop over and join in but the idea could and should travel.

No is the simple answer. The factory zeros them after build to give the best setting. I shoot a "junior! and you will note the sight base is still the same as the Morini, it is a great pistol for lighter people. If you want to hear a loud short have a listen to the LP2 short that really has a c...

stand on one leg then close your eyes and no doubt you will be in trouble. Sight is used to help balance, on your non shooting eye use the smallest blinder strip you can get away with this allows the "blinded" eye to see the world around you and use it as a datum to help balance. Balance t...

After a LOT of discussion we have come up with this:- For competition shooting 1. Mental state 2. trigger 3. Sight alignment 4. Sight picture =5. timing go/no go =5. follow through 6. Grip pressure 7. Stance 8. Breathing Mental state - You can often shoot tons in practice but in comps you cant and i...

A very thought provoking and interesting question that gets to the heart of the matter, again some very thoughtful responses I'm still mulling this over and will talk to our team and see what their consensus is as this is not as simple as it looks, as if pistol shooting was ever simple.

Having just seen the Olympic qualification scores it loos like a possible 3 K12's will be in the Olympic final for men unless Christian, Paolo or Federico have jumped ship to another pistol.

Thank you so much for posting the link.

If pistol X is seen to be winning and you can afford it that is what you buy. Pardini do not give pistols to use and get their name out there unlike others, absorber only gives problems if you use cheap dirty pellets and don't cheap out and why would you with an expensive target pistol. Felt cleanin...
