Hi Jeff,
To bad your RF match did not work out.
If you could give us a summary of the suggestions made by Emil Milev, I am sure a lot of us would be very gratefull (as would I). Perhaps you can post the video??
Thanks,
Bob

Dear MSC, Must be a slightly older book. Can't think of any top-level shooter that has his/her arm at an angle of 45 degrees. It also depends on the discipline in question. Most rapid-fire shooters point their arm almost straight to the target (parallel to the chest). The shoulder is a complicated j...

Hi Anthony,

Might want to have a look at this website!

The manual did not download at the time I looked, but you could try later.

Hi David, Sorry to hear that John is no longer with us (did not know Les myself). I met him on numerous occasions in the late seventies. At the time I was a member of the Dutch National Pistol Squad and the discussions I had with him were a tremendous influence on my development. In fact I still own...

Hi David,
Are you referring to John Chandler by any chance?
Bob

Hi John, If you force the pistol further down than where it is natural, it will tend to move upwards when you least expect (and want) it, i.e. during the shot. So that would not be my advice. The natural hanging position would be OK. Make sure that when you slightly increase and decrease your grip s...

Hi John, You could also try to change the rake of your grip. I think you can addapt this on the Anschutz pistol. The anatomy of your wrist limits the sideways movement when you use a more "hanging" rake (lack of a better description) compared to the classical steep rake. You can try it you...

Hi Paul,
Did you have a chance to do chrono-measurements on the lapua/SK 250 cartriges in the Pardini?
Bob

Hi David, You are right. All SP pistols have a barrel of 120 mm, which is considerably shorter than the 153 mm max ISSF length. Same is true for the Walther GSP (115 mm). The guns may fail the speed test using the new RWS ammo. For the new Walther SSP, if the folks in Ulm can get the thing on the ma...

Hi, My SP1 electronic Rapid Fire pistol is under way from Italy and should be delivered to my dealer any day now. Can't wait, as I am currently shooting a 1967 model Walther GSP (serial number 1360). Will let you all know how it turns out. From what I hear you are right in assuming it's the 6 (old v...

Dear MSC,

For those of us that do not have the issue, but are willing to see if we can help, could you post a scan of the cover?

Bob

Thanks Matt,
Will try this "new" approach. If my stance does become as stable as my chair I am bound to shoot at least 600 ;-)
Bob

Hi Matt, Very interesting to hear how a rifleman, like yourself, approaches pistol shooting. The thing I found counterintuitive, and therefore most interesting, is building from the base up, starting with the stance. I have been doing a lot of dry firing sitting down to perfect my sight alignment an...

Hi Ed, Mikey and Bob,

Wisdom apparently does not age!

Frank Green sounds to have been a very interesting man.

The visualization I have found to be effective is along similar lines:
Focus at least 100% on the front sight and pull the trigger towards the center of the aiming eye.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi John,
Just follow the link and be amazed!

I understand that Nestruev shoots a Kite.
He looks happy with it, but so would I if I had just shot 585!

Naturally this does not necessarily mean the gun is right for you. Try a few if possible and than make a decision.

Cheers,

Bob

Hi, Have been using a Hill handpump for some time http://www.pilkguns.com/hillpump.htm Use the pump in my house with central heating and hav'nt had any problems. My issue with tanks is that you have to get them tested periodically, which to me is a bit of a hassle. The pumping is fairly easy, altoug...

Personally I do not like any form of cant. It does not work in the Rapid Fire event. However, do you remember Alexander Melentiev who shot an incredible 582 free pistol score in 1980? He canted his (custom made) pistol a full 90 degrees (palm facing upwards). Did not inspire a lot of followers thoug...
