I think what Grippy says about using a non-invasive Scatt to show the shot coming off has some merit. We also need a knowledgeable commentator to explain the intricacies of shooting a shot. I don't watch golfing because it's boring to me, but look how big it is on television. It is just one guy shoo...

I use a HS Victor for Standard and Bullseye. Great factory triggers.

Rover, did Buck happen to buy the FWB parts?
Stan

If Scott doesn't repair it, Buck Parson at Top of the Rock would also. They went through my 65 and it runs like brand new with the trigger set perfect for me.

I had the same problem on a couple of my guns. I went to The Hobby Lobby hobby store and got some Testers flat black paint in a little bottle, it dries to a flat no shine black. I have used lampblack and puffed it on them before, but that got my hands filthy. Then I wised up and mixed a 1/8th teaspo...

Has anybody used a 1911 .22 conversion for 25 meter Standard pistol competition? I have one that has a roll trigger with 2.5 lb pull. Any disadvantages to going this route?
Thanks for any answers, Stan

it makes me wonder also......

I don't know the exact reason why they started shooting 1-handed, but there are some valid answers already given. I personally like it shot with one hand because it's harder and takes a lot of discipline to get good at. I'd like to see an action pistol event where you had to shoot it all one handed,...

50% vinegar and 50% hydrogen peroxide will remove lead from barrels. I wouldn't use it on my bullets either.
Stan

It was great ammo for me, accurate enough, and only maybe 7 misfires. I recall that 2 of those misfires lacked primer material and the rest were from filthy chambers in my guns. That was for a case of 5000.

Don, was the six cases of Eley from CMP the bulk ammo packed in 500 ct. boxes? I've always wondered what the equivalent of it was to other Eley ammo.
Stan

Deadeye, look at steyr-sport.com and look up air kits. They make one for the LP-5 also.
I was thinking about getting one for my LP-1, but can't see any advantage to it, maybe a minimum amount of weight reduction.

Will give it a try John.
That would be nice atomicgale, since I drive 2 hours to and 2 hours from a match. I would like that a lot in the winter when there's snow on the ground.

Thank you all for the help. I'm going to try some balance exercises, and change my stance to a more angled one, should help my neck muscles relax more also. I used that bladed stance to absorb more recoil when I started shooting CMP Service Pistol I didn't have the trouble swaying back and forth unt...

I have a problem that has surfaced recently. While I use a more bladed type of stance I'm wavering back and forth and find myself leaning to line up my shot, I feel like I'm going to fall forward on my face sometimes. I have the sight alignment perfect and aim at a deep six before the start of the p...

Yes, I can see a short reset being a big advantage once you get to the faster stages.
Thank you much, Stan

"I believe the only US Olympic gold medal won in Rapid Fire was shot with a High Standard. That said, I suspect the Hammerli would be better." With the 215s I have the 1st stage shorter with about 200g and 2nd stage longer with about 800g, for Standard pistol slow stages. Should I change m...

I have a Hammerli 215s and want to set it up for ISSF rapid fire. I don't think I can excel a whole lot at 72, but would like to do the best I can with this pistol or a HS Victor. I have rinks for the 215s and just factory stocks for the Victor. Would the 215s be a better choice because of the trigg...

No, you aren't too old Chameleon. Decide what venue you want to shoot whether it's Bullseye or any of the International sports. Find a mentor or coach at your club, or get an online coach and let them know what you want. I'm 72 and started Bullseye about 9 yrs. ago and air pistol about 5yrs ago. I'm...

There's a online website called Net Competitor. netcompetitor dot com
