Season starts in October and ends in April, second Saturday of each month except for December (do to Winter Airgun competitions running at OTC and Camp Perry on that weekend) Hope to see you there!

I wish I could do the opposite, convert my K60 from CO2 to CA. I have couple extra CO2 cylinders, perhaps they are the same size as for K2.
I've ben using K12 for passed 5 years but the K60 was superior to any other 10m pistol, in my opinion.

Here is our schedule for International pistol competitions in ILLINOIS sanctioned by USA Shooting. Thanks, Bernard Sandy Ford’s Indoor International Pistol Sanctioned by USA Shooting Sponsored by Sandy Ford Junior Shooters Standard, Air, Free, Rapid Fire, Center Fire, Sport 2021 – 2022 Winter Season...

Every one of my pistol front sights (except for revolver and 1911 .45acp) I have marked with small silver dot with Sharpie to focus on. I usually get my focus there in three steps, hair on my arm, rear sight and silver dot on front sight. If the lighting is poor, I don't see the dot, just a black fr...

As the communism in this country grows the sport is slowly dying out, the opposite goes for the countries where communism is slowly dying out, the sport is growing rapidly. Look at India, South Korea, EU countries, China etc. Too much politics in the sport! I see it on our own club. We used to have ...

For pistol shooting, the red dot in the center of target makes absolutely no sense. You can use black marker to paint it over. We teach sub 6 area aim (black sights on white paper) and the red dot will steal your focus from the front sight to the target which is not good. Also ones you take a stand,...

Don't look at the score from beginning, turn your target around and shoot group on plain paper. For 4 months of training, your group is very good.

Hi PirateJohn, I'm taking care of Arlington International Airgun Club adult members and we would be happy to help you out with coaching. We meet every Wednesday night for pistol practice at CLA in Arlington Heights and we run monthly competitions in Streator IL. sanctioned by USA Shooting. We have t...

Next Saturday, March 13th 2021 in conjunction with USA Shooting sanctioned international matches we are holding the northern division
2021 NRA championship for standard and air pistol. Please let Don Weber (listed on the flyer) know if you need more information or details.
Thanks, Bernard

Sorry I'm late to discussion, I love my Tau-7 and can state from experience that is as good as Pardini K60 or Pardini K12. It was my first air (CO2) pistol & the only problem is the CO2 to be used at winter air or nationals. I believe the barrels were made by Walther in Germany for Tau Brno. One...

When I started shooting air pistol and joined our club, there was a pair of Pardini K60 CO2 pistol that no one was using because they leaked like a sieve. It was hard to screw on the cylinder without emptying it, some members called them paperweights. My pistol at that time was TAU-7 match, also CO2...

Every second Saturday of the month from October 2020 to April 2021.
Hope to see see you there, Bernard

My oldest free pistol is 1935 Stotzer Original Perfekt chambered in .22LR. I'm still trying to find out if it was used in 1936 Olympics by one of the German team shooters.

Basically, first Saturday of the month, from October to April.
No NRA or USA Shooting membership is required to participate.
Thanks, Bernard

I have two K60's and I resealed them 6 or 7 years ago. The only trouble O-ring so far is the big hard white PTFE O-ring in the cylinder.
In my experience, the K60 outperforms the K12.
2 each K60
2 each K12
1 each Tau-7 Match

You won't go wrong with Ruger but why not pick up a used MKII with good target sights & trigger job instead of MKIV? Any decent gunsmith can do better trigger job than the Volquartsen kit & regular grips with thumb rest should be good start for your grand daughter to start training. My son s...

Hi Richard, sorry for my late respond but I had this exact same issue and it was my Walther KSP grip making contact with trigger bar on the left side.
Try to dry fire without grip and see if the trigger resets every time. Shaving off little from the grip took care of it.

Attached is season schedule for matches in IL. sanctioned by USA Shooting.
Thanks, Bernard

These pistols are very easy to work on and O-ring sizes are listed in the owner's manual. All of the O-rings are 2mm thickness and the best ones are Viton for CO2 application (IMHO) available from McMaster Carr or Grainger. Part# = Thickness x Outside Diameter #62 = 2x9 breach #63 = 2x8 relief #64 =...
