Re: Morini 200EI doesn't want to work anymore

I sent the circuit boards and switch to Morini in Switzerland. They said the circuit boards worked on their end so they updated the firmware and sent new cables. A month after I sent the boards to them, I got them back, hooked them up with the new cables... ...and the friggin' thing still doesn't work

And if you drink enough beer, it becomes easier to hit a ten because now you have five or six targets to shoot at.

Re: First competition @ Camp Perry-WAG, advice?

The only piece of advice that matters: have fun

I'll be there, too, shooting one position over from an Olympic alum. It is such a blast to be around so many great shooters and picking their brains.

Until you're scoring in the 550-560 range on a regular basis, I wouldn't worry about custom grips

Yeppers. I had a bunch of those when I started out. They're the same dimensions as the Kruger ISSF targets.

Re: CO2 to O2 conversion

The physics grad in me is thinking that at the same pressure, CO2 and N2/O2 are going to have different acceleration profiles because of the very different masses per molecule.

Re: Morini 200EI doesn't want to work anymore

If you stop shooting for a length of time, 5 minuts, one should turn electricity OFF. If not the pistol will shut down of it self and if so it will NOT work if you turn it off and then on again. You must do it twice, and then it will be OK again. I have old CM200, with no bluetoth. That wasn't what...

One way is to have them shoot only on blank targets until they start getting reasonable groups

2 weeks ago got a PB of 540, but last score is what counts. So 501 it is.
We're not that formal here. Go ahead and post your 540. You earned it.

Re: Monthly AP League November 2024

A bit of a disappointing month. Was really hoping to finally get 560 in a match, ended up with 557 because I got an 8 and a 7 at the end.

Re: Morini 200EI doesn't want to work anymore

I already got in touch with the folks at Morini and they told me to take out the boards and send them to Switzerland, so I'll be doing that tomorrow.
