Thank you all!
I am trying to get it done from last 6 years.
And failing.
Thank you all for the help.

Hi All! It has been a while. This year, I tried again for state meet to score 345/400 and could manage to score only 334. 50 mins of time were given to shoot those 40 shots. I actually shot last 16 shots in last 10 mins. Which were really much better than the previous 24. Hand started shaking and .....

Please contact the dealer. I had an AP 20 Pro for close to 3 years and this did not happen.

Compassion... Compassion.

Today, I went for an eye check. And yes, the powers are fluctuating. I developer + power now, 1.25 in each eyes, and -ve power also increased in the right. All in all, what it means I need a progressive lens to focus my eyes in the target. Sorry for being absent for much time - lot of crazy things a...

I can safely now... say this.
Everyone in my range shoots Steyr. Almost everyone. 2/3 shoots Morini.
Each of them had a go at my Walther LP 500 Basic.
And they loved the trigger. Loved it. Loved the mechanism.

Scored 535/600.
ISSF Rules.
60 Cards, manual paper Target.
1 6.
3 7.
Rest did not count.
Every sat there is a match in SATS here in Hyderabad.
Just came out of there.

Yep, they did change.
Even the basic model is pretty low end basic now - not having the ported barrel and all.
Shame.
I have the lowest one.
They call it "Economy".

These are interesting changes. They are progressing in the direction of 25 Rapid Fire Pistol. I think they should just make anything above 9.5 a 1.0 hit and rest a miss. In fact better, at finals only 10s should be counted. I am certain there are not enough formally minded people in the ISSF. One ca...

This is how mine looks like now.

I get tested yearly, for lead exposure, due to routinely working at an indoor firing range. It has never been a problem, for me or any of the staff under my command. I know of one range officer, from another agency, who tested high in 2012. He stayed off the range for 30 days, and tested normal aft...

Hi All, Today I was cleaning my pellet collector for the target. There were a lot of pellets collected, which I safely put inside some bag. But I collected the destroyed pellets using bare hand ( my bad ) - and there were fine dust of lead. Which I cleaned it with soap water multiple times. Also Vac...

What are you doing about shooting glasses? Young eyes can deal with refocusing on the front sight throughout a match, but it's much easier if you use a lens to bring your relaxed focus in closer to the front sight. The older you get, the more of an issue it becomes. There are tons of posts on the s...

Here is today.
0 prep time - and shot things.


Sometimes the sight is becoming hazy.
And that is when the 8s and 7s are appearing.
Can anyone help me out - what to do when the sight gets blurred?

Dude.
I am like shooting for 3 years.. and I still get some occasional 4s if I do not concentrate.
That is the name of the game.

It's doable. The best thing would be to get a set of Rink grips with a 7 degree offset (twist). That allows you to keep your grip pretty much the same, but your sights will line up naturally. They are made specifically for this sort of situation. Ditto. I did buy that - and it is improving things.

So with new year - some improvements. The Rink Grip I brought - whose screw fitting I sort of screwed up - I could fix it with helicoils! https://www.helicoil.in Here is the LP 500 now with all it's Glory! https://i.ibb.co/0qwgfmP/1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/d0HGww2/2.jpg Just fixed it now, the grip is c...

So, you survived Covid. With our without vaccine? I am double vaxed. Omicron hits you anyways. Pretty mild once you have double vaxed. Only trouble it did create with my colleagues is bad stomach upset. This is today. I think I am coming to terms with my old grip. I can grip it. I can shoot it. And...

Was down with Viral.
Back sort - of - will try again.
Seems like somehow I am getting a better grip now.
Can feel the grip.
Will shoot some today ( it is 1 AM ) - and let you guys know.

Was down with ( possible omicron ) viral.
Did not go out - did not have energy for the most part of the Dec.
Started with Office offsite.
I think am ok ish now - let's try.
Merry Christmas everyone.
