We actually shipped the tank ahead of time UPS. Just a point of fact for the group here. This is not a USA Shooting rule originally. This is an ISSF rule. USA Shooting takes the ISSF rulebook in its entirety and, with a few minor addendums, uses it for the USA Shooting rulebook. Oops, my mistake. Th...

I adjust my sights constantly. Your body stretches and as your position changes head position is affected. Mostly occurs shooting outside, but happens in all conditions.

When I got into air pistol, my arm hurt after a match even with a light Tau 7 sport. I just kept practicing until my arm got stronger. If you cant practice often, I recommend holding up soup cans like you shoot and just hold them there. Start with small cans them work up to larger cans. Shoot straig...

pls elaborate the carving , would you have sketches to illustrate , thanks again. Carve out until it fits your hand. If you go too far, add some bondo (or other automotive body putty) and try again. If you completely mess up, you can get a new grip. But if you take your some and go slow you should ...

Air Tank Age Limit.

I got invited for 10m air pistol in the Jr. Olympics this year and was about to catch the long flight to NY to CO and received an email from USA shooting about the relatively new air cylinder/tank age limit. They have to be under ten (10) years old for them to be allowed onto the range or to be fill...

I've never seen the gun in person, but I know the owner/president of the company and would be willing to send you his contact information if you would like. Knowing some of his air pistols, they are all of extremely good quality. I don't think you could go wrong with an air rifle from them. Sorry I ...

To me, (didn't read the comments to keep bias out) Your LOP is way too short, and something looks wrong with your left hand. But I cant tell whats wrong exactly. When I shoot prone my five fingers get numb or blue, but your thumb seems to get all the blue. Not good! Your fingers should get blue at t...

I currently use Knobloch glasses, love them. They are a novel pain to set up, but they are worth it. Never shot with contacts so I can't speak to them.
I like having a blinder on my glasses instead of on the sight, so that's why I've never shot with contacts.

I'm 14 y/o, 5' 6-7" and 105 pounds. I have an Anschutz 1907 in a 1914 stock, and it weighs 11 pounds with a custom sight extension tube. To be honest, for the average shooter my size it would be too heavy. But I have been shooting for a few years and prefer a heavier rifle than what it is now. ...

I don't have a FWB 300 in front of me, (one at my rifle club, but it's closed for the summer) off the top of my head I want to say it will fit. But I believe rails for the front sight depends on the variant, some are built in to the barrel shroud. But if yours has a rail, I'm sure it will fit. If no...

I have a Gehmann diopter with polarization, adjustable iris, and brightness (same as polarization?) and I usually keep the polarization off unless I'm at Perry and the suns blaring. Indoors the polarization is too strong, indoors I just use the adjustable aperture for setting light brightness.
