The Ruger Old Army won’t qualify under MLAIC rules. And they are no longer in production.

Over the years, I've shot both center hold and sub-six. And gotten good results with both. Let the students work with both, allow their experience teach them.

Woad. Just wear woad.

We should be holding matches the 3rd Sunday of the month at the 12th Precinct from October to March.

That's one. Also check the 12th Precinct Pistol Club (Annapolis, MD), and the Fairfax Rod & Gun Club (actually in Manassas, VA).

Look for places that have a decent number of competitions. Example: In the National Capital area, there are two or three clubs holding monthly matches.

Talk to www.customsightpicture.com, get their kit and use it. If you can actually visit Dr. Toler in Richmond, VA, that's best.

If it were easy, would it be worth the effort? The good news is that this is a true lifetime sport.

Equipment: As others have mentioned, an Izh-46 or FWB 65 is a really good start. Keep your eyes peeled here, and on the GunBroker auction site. Having said that, you can often get secondhand Olympic-grade guns for $1k-$1300. Reading: Skanaker's book is excellent. The Targettalk 10P Files have a lot ...

I think it's more a matter of weight. Clap a dot on a 1911 and it comes up to the weight of a longslide pistol.

I love RF, but the sad fact is that it's damned near impossible to find a target bay. Men's Sport Pistol would make it MUCH easier to find ranges - you could even go with a portable turning target rig (that fits into the trunk of a car).

23? (snort. giggle) Hell, you're just getting started. If you look at the oldest competitor at any Olympics, they are invariably a shooter...and in their mid-50s or older. Favoring very young shooters is an artifact of one-size-fits-all approaches to funding - an approach that is dominated by the Sp...

Ah, but it's the 4-second string that is fun. Frustrating, but fun. You really have to be shooting as much by feel as by sights.

I would love to see RF kept...but it doesn't surprise me that it would be a high-profile target for replacement.

All that went on thirty years ago, but didn’t find enough traction and it seems ISSF has abandoned it. At least some of those rapidfire air pistols are still around. Maybe you could lead a resurrection? More like ISSF quietly strangled RF Air. And rightly so, in my opinion. Had it gotten traction, ...

Here in the United States, I don't think there are more than 20 RF bays...in a county with 320 million people. Part of this is the cost - an RF bay is several thousand dollars. Part is the fragility - an RF bay can't be left out for the Duffer Brigade to shoot up with 9mm. My thinking is that RF cou...

I'd like to throw out some ideas I've had concerning Rapid Fire, see what people think.... 1. At present, RF is a very rare sport. Mostly due to the lack of RF target bays. These are good for little other than RF, but are too large and often too fragile to be left at most ranges unattended - the Duf...

The precision shooting sports are under pressure from the Taktikewl Tommies. All over the world.

My preference would be a Pitts Special.

Cataracts tend to form at the center of the lens, but not precisely so. Sometimes, you can see around it - especially if you can put a filter on the glasses that will open up the iris and let light go through the portions of the lens that are not occluded. I wound up shooting a MLAIC World Champions...
