Re: 5 shot air pistol target system

That gets back to a mechanical system with hinges, linkages and springs.
Adds a lot of complexity, fragility and weight.
I'll post a video of it when I can.

Re: 5 shot air pistol target system

We have been pursuing this also. We decided to make a system with red/green target lights using 12V trailer lights. It is set up to be used at 10m. One of my college athletes wrote a program to command the lights. ADVANTAGES TO US Our system has to be portable to take on and off the range for every ...

Re: Hammerli AP20 Pro general impressions and grips

I think the AP20 Pro is one of the bargains in a not very crowded market. In the U.S. the Hammerli AP20 PRO price is $1,095. https://www.champchoice.com/search?q=ap20%20pro The Hammerli AP20 is $890. https://www.champchoice.com/mc-airgun/air-pistols/hammerli-ap20-match-air-pistol-ambidextrous-279800...

Re: freETarget

Substitute an air rifle target for the air pistol target, and shoot at 5.13 meters without having to do custom printing. That is very close to the 6 yards you are shooting at now. The actual scoring rings are NOT correct, so you cannot 'score' your target and expect scaled results. But the bullseye ...

I had an Alfa Proj that I loved and shot my best score with, a 556 IIRC back around 2011. I loved the balance of the Alfa Proj. It did not hold up well over time I see that the Alfa Proj is now priced at around $1,100 which strikes me as ridiculous. Wild how the prices vary so much. $1,809.99 https...
