Re: Importing Question

Yes it is possible. With apologies to ChipEck, I have had a steyr evo 10 for about three months now through krale (search Krale on the forum to find more info on them). They delivered within a week, and the gun is amazing. Be warned that this may or may not result in some warranty issues (I haven't ...

Re: Thinking of a PCP AP

If you have a rotor cuff injury I would 100% stick to the tanks rather than the pump. I use a pump and, while it's not a huge workout, you certainly feel it in the shoulders after you have done it.

Re: LP50 for timed and rapid training

Warning...I just bought one this summer and found it addicting. Roughly 6,000 pellets later my bullseye pistols are crying for attention.

Re: Pardini grip size chart

I've looked at their literature, and never found anything, and I've asked Pardini USA about their standard pistol grips, but never got a response. Based on comparing them with other known grips, the medium covers roughly the 75 to 85mm range, and the large is roughly 90 to 100mm. If anyone has any ...

Re: Ramped barrel High Standard?

Depending on the specific issue you're having (i.e. did they pretend to be someone they were not allowed to be), you may wish to talk to an attorney in your state about the issue. It sounds like you may have some characters there.

Products liability lawyers eat characters like them for breakfast.

Re: Tokyo 2020: ISSF Ad-Hoc Committee releases Shooting prog

I agree with Slarty's point from a theoretical level, but practically the problem is money. The IOC has it, the competitors do not. Therefore, IOC calls the shots. Running a serious sports federation on no money is impossible in the United States. So unless anyone happens to be sitting on a pile of ...

Re: Statement From Abhinav Bindra

Has anybody bothered reading the IOC's Agenda 2020. Rio had 11544 athletes: the IOC want it limited to 10500. Rio had 306 events: the IOC want it limited to 310. If the ISSF can keep us in the Olympics with 15 events then they will have done extremely well. I wasn't even aware the document existed....

Is that list of people who have scores? I bet the actual number is higher since it's a trip to colorado to get to the winter air pistol events. There's probably a few more garage shooters out there.

If you're worried about this, buy less and use more. You can get Diabolo basics on amazon with free shipping on Prime.

Re: Front sight drooping before shot break

If the majority of your shots are low then turn your sights up until the "group" is at the right height. Good technique and practice, combined with coaching suggestions will tighten the group. First it makes sense to find a good coach to identify technical errors. All the suggestions you ...
