TargetTalk

@SlartyBartFast I've updated the blogpost to include my response to your questions. I hope it is useful for future readers. Please take a look and let me know.

@SlartyBartFast you take the height of the eye measure to figure out the high corner of the triangle used to calculate distances. Even if the target is at a fixed height, as you move far from it the angle of sight changes and the target seems to go up. You want to keep that angle even if the target ...

Hi shooters, I've created a calculator to help me set a target of the right size and at the right height at home> https://www.olympicpistol.com/target-calculator.html https://www.olympicpistol.com/images/target-height-size-calculator.png Before creating the calculator I tried to do it with a friend ...

My favorite pistol shooting book. Thanks a lot for writing it, translating it to English, and this deal. I already got my copy :)

Yes, it is a summary, and so I've said :)

I got permission from Heinz to publish this summary :)

Hi all, Here's the practical summary I've made of the book "The Psyche of the Shot: Sport Psychology and Competition" by Heinz Reinkemeier & Gaby Buhlmann. It is great to improve our competition mental game. https://www.olympicpistol.com/summary-psyche-of-the-shot.html Looking forward ...

@400driver Yes, you are supposed to lock your wrist but I don't feel it.

@400driver I will continue adding materials, also for physical exercise, as I manage to get them, digest them and write them :) I have one in mind with a morning routine but I just can't get to take the videos and pictures for it yet. For tonus means with tension, feeling that your arm is activated,...

I have regular glasses with one lense adapted for shooting. When you go to Walmart also ask to have the focal point offset to the right if you are right-handed. My position is perpendicular to the target and the focal point of the glasses is offset 2mm to the right (we don't look straight ahead when...

Purple tint lens over the optician corrected lens helps with indoors clearness of focus on the sights, at least for older people like myself. I was very surprised when I saw it. But then coach Daniel Goberville told me to ignore all colors and just check regularly for the right correction with the o...

A release in stages that I have not been introduced to. Can't help here, maybe somebody from the forum can.

Awesome @thirdwheel, thanks a lot :)

Thanks @thirdwheel. Would it be possible for you to share some of the training programs you got from your coach? I think we should build a directory with the most we can get so shooters could use it to get ideas to training. Finding a coach in your area is not a choice for most people.

Here's the training program that Daniel prepared for me after this session: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-st ... rvile.html

Hi all, I've shared the training that I got from Olympic coach Daniel Goberville: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-stability-trigger-training-program-daniel-gobervile.html This is the outcome of the training session I had with him a few weeks ago (you can find the notes here https://www.olympicp...

Doing mixed events and bringing more equality should not mean dropping events. I would love to see women competing for gold in 50m free pistol :)

Thanks to all for your encouraging posts :) I think you will also apreciate these posts that can complement the training notes: Rapid fire basics: https://www.olympicpistol.com/rapid-fire-pistol-introduction.html A pistol diary to download: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-shooting-diary-journal...

I had a similar problem and the culprits were the pellets that had serious quality control issues (Gamo Pro Match Competition). When I added them to the pellet box were they are arranged in rows, many would not go in because of size. In another tin I found a hunting pointy head pellet.

Thanks for the feedback. Daniel is definitely worth a visit :) He's given me permission to share the training program he made for me after this session. I will publish it next week.

Hi everyone. These are the notes from my pistol training with the Olympic trainer Daniel Goberville I hope they are useful: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-tr ... notes.html
