Re: rapid fire air pistol
I think we need to stop thinking (as USAS seems to) about just finding the next gold medalist, and instead, focus on growing the disciplines at the grassroots level. +1000 Canada suffers the same. The "Own the Podium"/Reach for Excellence" program certainly put a good number of Canad...

Re: Decided to buy a curiosity - Drulov 75
Wow, that looks like a NIB pistol. Collector grade for sure. Congratulations! Wasn't looking to start a collection. This just looked like a fun gun to try and this particular one seems in great shape compared to the one slightly rusty and neglected one I've seen before at a gun show. Might make me ...

Decided to buy a curiosity - Drulov 75
Might be crazy buying this sight unseen, but for better or for worse I'm now waiting for the authorities to authorise the transfer and for the seller to mail it to me.
One bolt action, single shot, Drulov model 75.
Original box, factory test target, manual all included.

Re: Disqualified at Canadian Grand Prix. Any help is appreci
I once saw (in Munich in 1990s) a testing method I thought was good. They had a cradle that held the pistol (vertical) and they just hung the weight on the trigger. So simple and effective, but someone decided that it wasn't compliant with the rules which stated the weight must be lifted. Sounds li...

Re: Disqualified at Canadian Grand Prix. Any help is appreci
Just a random opinion: Why isn't there an apparatus to make sure the pistol is held vertically? Or, why isn't there a standardised trigger gauge that wouldn't rely on gravity and how the pistol is held? Because after you deal with the variables of where on the trigger the weights are placed and the ...

Re: Experience With Federal "UltraMatch" .22 Ammo in Semi-Au
Oddly enough, RWS "Target Pistol" isn't nearly as reliable in the Benellis as "Target Rifle." Really would be interesting/informative for .22LR to post velocity data for pistol and rifle length test barrels. The RWS site is certainly better than many, with velocity data (and ene...

Re: It might be crazy, but I like it. 12 Barrel Ruger Pistol
I know the legal limitations you´ve to endure, but my advice is to look elsewhere................ specially for $ 2.300!!! I'm Canadian. No such restrictions here thank goodness. And the scary thing is that's British pounds sterling. Which means that ridiculous contraption is actually $3200 USD! OM...

It's one thing to be an arrogant ass when it's uncalled for. It's quite another to be an arrogant ass AND be proven wrong when calling others idiotic. LOL! I have no knowledge of the manufacturing history of this brand of ammo, but I'm definitely picking up a box if I see it on a store's shelves. Ev...

Might be crazy, but I like it. 12 Inch Barrel Ruger Pistol
Comments about the ridiculousness of British class 1 pistol requirements aside, for some reason I'd really like to try out this pistol. One hell of a sight radius with a 12" Volquartsen Carbon Fibre Barrel. But for £2300.00, you really have to be desperate to own a Ruger. http://www.stockadepro...

Re: 32cal Projectiles - Australia
H&N are the best. Sadly, no one in the USA nor Canada import them anymore. Have you considered making a few bucks by becoming the Aussie H&N distributor? There's one Canadian distributor for H&N listed, two USA distributors, and for Australia the closest is New Zealand. Seems like a goo...

Re: ISSF response about dropping some events in the Olympics
I'm going to start a campaign for men's rhythmic gymnastics to be included in the next Olympics. If you lose the snark and actually look into it, you'll undoubtedly find that Olympic gymnastics will face the same pressure to be balanced by gender. And it won't result in a new men's discipline. And,...

Re: How safe are competition glasses?
Sounds like you need a new range. If you can get me the Federal, Provincial, Municipal buy-in, the CFO and different levels of police approval and the couple million dollars or so it would take to build, I'll build the mythical range that never has a ricochet. But my options are limited and the pla...

Re: How safe are competition glasses?
I wear a pair of Wiley-X tight fitting wraparound glasses under my Champion optical glasses. I was wondering if something like that is feasible. At the range someone got hit in the arm with a ricochet that had enough left in it to leave a welt through a shirt. I might take the risk of short sleeves...

How safe are competition glasses?
I've been looking at buying pistol glasses, but quickly realised that no matter how good they may be my range is likely to disallow shooting with them. Having been hit by lead and jackets from ricochet at the range, I wondered how safe they could possibly be. A plastic blinder and monocle are hardly...

Re: Can I save my club from itself?
metman: I am in Montreal during the workweek. I'll check it out. Tks. I'm thinking that if I want to be serious about pistol shooting I have to give up the smallbore shooting and switch to AP. At lease then I could participate with others who are actually training and there would be no problem in b...

Re: Locking the elbow and coaching 10 meter.
Admirable. One wonders what Jorge would do in Bullseye. Admirable? Seems to me it's just a freak of nature. Some people are double jointed, others aren't. If that's the best pose for him and it gives him an advantage, IMO it's lucky, not "admirable". As others have said, it's not about co...

Re: Scatt Basic - your take
Actual shot placement is not 100% accurate. a 10 will show as a high 9. No experience with SCATT or other trainers, but I wouldn't expect any on gun camera system to be an effective or accurate replacement for an electronic target. Whether from a camera at the gun end or say a laser detector at the...

Re: Sarcasm for Rover
How vile. Wanting to not be shot or have some action taken so the events they witnessed are not repeated are dismissed with flippant comments about kittens and blankets.
