emoky, I do not know what casual shooting opportunities exist in Israel, but if you want a non-competitive shooting experience I would have an open discussion about that with the coach (or coaches) at the shooting club you've been attending. Every coach wants to train the next National or Olympic g...

Emoky, I think you ask some great questions and as others have said, offers an insight into the teenager mind for us coaches and parents. I don't think you should give up on Olympic style shooting so easily. If you like tinkering with guns and equipment, there's no better place. My 15 yo daughter i...

Emoky: One thing I realized after reading your reply and forgot to mention in my post. Today, most young people get exposure to the shooting sports through organized events (read club / school / organization competitions or training here). Historically, when casual shooting was more prevalent (incl...

thank you very much for all of your reply's, it really helped me :) i also realized that i don't enjoy from what i score but from the actual shooting, there's just something that satisfies me more rather than knowing i shot a good pair or something like that. I think it's also about the Olympic shoo...

Well, some of you may of remember me from my previous topic, which is still in the 1st page somehow. So the thing different now from the previous topic is that now, i know why i like the shooting and why i don't, the problem is i sometimes think maybe the "reasons" i don't like shooting ar...

How do you guys just slightly ignore the other people and concentrate in what you are doing and enjoying? You don't "slightly" ignore them. You totally ignore them. It is just a matter of focus on what you are doing. Write down your shot routine, everything you do to make a good shot. Now...

I hear ya bud! He's right, just talk to the guys at your range. Many times, they just assume you already know what you are doing or else you wouldn't be there. They just might be worried you are better than them as well. As far as rifle over pistol...I had the same dilemma years ago. However, You a...

Let me offer this. I know many great shooters. A great pistol shooter can shoot a rifle (any rifle) well. Way better than the average student or someone without many years of practice. A great rifle shooter can shoot his rifle well. Might also be able to shoot aother rifle well. High power is a dif...

Why do you need to choose one? Your choice should be dependant on your goals for shooting. if you want to try for a collegiate team, or become a national champion, or perhaps aspire to the US Shooting team, you may need to "specialize" (however Nick Mowerer seems to do fine having bee ori...

So 1 month ago i got into target shooting at a local shooting club, i personally like it meanwhile and enjoy shooting. I've shot rifle and pistol but the thing is i have to choose with which one to continue, i currently am leaning more towards Air Pistol (10m btw) mainly because: 1. It's more unique...
