Re: Amazing Exhibition Shots and gun accuracy

My first question would be veracity. It would be easy to make many videos of 'trick' shots and only make YouTubes with the impressive ones. When I shot benchrest air rifle it wasn't hard to shoot a fly on the target, but it was impossible to do repeatedly. No one can fact check such videos, they don...

Re: ISSF 10M Novice Practice Distance of 7M

With your situation you can dry fire with as much benefit as anyone (and dry fire is very beneficial). If you want to keep tabs of score for live fire you can make (or find online) 0.7X scaled 10M targets. I also shoot AP outdoors at 20M for bullseye training. I live on a ranch but you will need to ...

You might try Neal Stepp for P44 grips (call, not email). Don't know if he stocks them but he does carry lots of parts

Re: Making anything below an 8 unacceptable

As with a partially wrong exam answer, you can get partial credit if you called the errant shot correctly. Learning to correctly call your shots is one of the fundamentals, and the better you get at it the more precise your sight picture will be.

At least that's how I like to look at it.

So the O-ring from Amazon isn't correct - much smaller than the one on the probe. FWB P44 exploded diagram indicates "O Ring 4.0 x 1.0 – 4.9.0001". This is the undersize Amazon O : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CL3VZ6L?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 Does someone know which O-rin...

FWB P44 probe 0-ring

Re: Shooting Range Setup - Basement

I built a pellet trap using a sheet metal backer and wood frame mounted on a large sheet of plywood (to stop any fliers). The metal backer is covered with a layer of duct seal putty, which muffles the noise and traps most of the pellets. I made a frame from channel aluminum to hold targets, and the ...

I'm no Olympian (nor do I play one on TV), but I've found the hold and trigger training (dry fire, etc) to improve in target AP, .22, .45 has translated to improved rifle trigger and hold.

Re: Back after a long time with more sad news

+++ to Gwhite's advice, as always. With AP, RF, CF, I do better getting shots off sooner - right after settling on aiming area. Taking up most of the trigger while dropping into the aiming area helps this. More generally also agree it is not about your score, but about your shot process. Each one, e...
