TargetTalk

I've been kicking around the idea of making a club tabletop target camera with a permanently installed camera and front illumination and a backlight for the targets for use with Targetscan. A clubhouse server that ran the software and gave access to the scans and results through individual apps wou...

Interesting. After I posted this thread it occurred to me that these things on modern aluminium rifles are not "palm rests" but are rather "adjustable fore-ends". Perhaps there is a distinction? PaulB, the comment you received from ISSF is indeed confusing - and it suggests prett...

These rules state that a palm rest may not be used in 10m Air Rifle. What am I missing?



while we're at it, 7.4.2.2 states that the pistol grip cannot be anatomically formed - how is that defined?

Are you at a high enough level where investing time on making the gun shoot better is more important than spending the time making the shooter better? It does not have to be one or the other. For me I want my rifle to be as accurate as possible within budget. For example, if you're rifle is groupin...

If you're getting a tube, I think you'd be crazy not to get one that has a tuner also...like Starik or Uptagrafft.

Assume it's not an electronic trigger?

I don't currently have a lens.

the decision to remove it was only finally ratified a few weeks ago.

The knob is not part of the butt plate, its part of the butt plate adjustment mechanism. The intent of the rule is clearly to prevent an overly wide or overly offset contact area between the butt plate and shoulder. That's my take on it, anyway.

You can also get 10mm ID split collars and put them on the rods that support the cheek piece.

Hi, Just looking for some recommendation on getting eyes tested regards to shooting. I shoot with my non-dominant eye, but this is beside the point here. I notice sometimes the target (smallbore prone) is a bit fuzzy, now granted this may be the intent with the aperture being sharp, but anyway, the ...

Can you explain a bit more what this was about? Someone moved the chair that was behind their firing point? I don't get it.

Bear in mind that local range rules trump all competition rules, at least they do where I shoot.

Hi, I am reviving this topic as I want to experiment with my cheeck piece, Walther KK300 Anatomic. The shape has never really felt like a good match for me, it is very rounded and a rather large surface area. If I rotate it towards me it gets sharper, but uncomfortably so. It occurred to me before f...

I clean it straight after use before it hardens. The diameter change from muzzle causes condensation to form, so it comes out quite wet actually. I use 16G VFG felts, this is with the aluminium lined Starik. It takes 3-4 felts, and its clean. If I leave it after a match and then clean after the fina...

I would think the EGA would be to discuss axing those events completely from ISSF....if its not in the Olympics, why keep it, I suspect would be the view.

Not everyone has identical eye spacing. It doesn't adjust width wise and I don't think it needs to. Not everyone has the same cheek/jaw/eye geometry either, this is what your cheek piece adjustment is for. It will also cater for the eye width variation - adjust your cheekpiece to get your non-cheek...

A person at our club has recently started to use a MEC swap, and someone else is getting one also I believe. I haven't used it, but the feedback from those users is that you need to be DIRECTLY and perfectly straight behind the Iris or you dont get a sight picture, or something like that. So it's no...

put the rifle on a benchrest and see if it does it

thanks for the input, on the handstop you're suggesting that the MEC is too large/complex, and better to go smaller/simple? Do you have a reference for the pic of McPhail that you describe? I tried to find one, can find heaps of pictures of him in position but nothing that shows his handstop setup?

recoil will see the target wobble around inside the aperture, are you saying you're seeing some other sort of wobble in addition to standard recoil movement?
