Thank you for the explanation and solutions @Vadym.

Changed up the shot process some which seemed to result in more 10`s. The number of x-ring shots is a personal best. Next goal, reduce the number of non-10 shots.

My $.02: I know this procedure is not mentioned in the Owner’s Manual but, when storing my IZZY, I leave it with the pistol charged with air. We do this for Crosman and Sheridan pump air rifles and it is recommended. It keeps pressure on the seals. Too, I keep the bolt unlatched Lowered but not lat...

Thanks for the comments. @Gwhite, I took your advice about air tool oil many months ago. When I oil the pump cup that`s what I use ... sparingly. The previous owner used Pellgun oil on the pump cup. He may have used it on the trigger workings as well. @TT, when/if it gets worse I`ll have a go with t...

Following @Oldnslow`s lead I thought to ask an Izzy malfunction question. I too own and MP-46M and it has developed a problem recently. The trigger mechanism has a noticeable two step release when cold. Sorry no photos. It all sound. It is only noticeable when you dry fire. Pull the trigger and hear...

My first card blowout continues. My warmup card scored an 89 and then ten minutes later I shot at 79 on my first card. The poor shots were 6`s and 7`s in the 9 o’clock direction. To a lesser degree I had the same problem throughout the match. score=510-2x (79,84,87,87,86,87) LP2 RWS Meisterkugeln 10...

Happy with the number of x-ring shots but the first card is often a problem. My first ten shots usually contain a few flyers. This doesn`t happen during practice but when I shoot for record I get a couple shots into the white. I am baffled. score=522-9x (84,91,89,83,89,87) LP2 RWS Meisterkugeln 10m,...

Tied my record of 14 shots in the 10 ring but this was offset by 5 shots into the white. Reestablishing a good grip after card changes is still a struggle.

Finding the right grip strength seems to be the key. This month is 17 points better than last month because I tried for a lighter grip. However, an overly tight grip was still an issue on the first few cards. Progress … I think. score=517-1x (84,88,81,88,87,89) LP2 RWS Meisterkugeln 10m, iron sights...

Chalk this month up to a learning experience. I flung 6 shots out into the white in the 1 and 2-oclock direction. I think I wasn`t using what some on the forum call a neutral grip or neutral wrist. That is, pressure applied by the fingertips combined with a death grip causes shots to go high and to ...

Happy with the number of x-ring shots but disappointed with the inconsistent groups. A good card (93) is sandwiched between two bad cards (81 and 84) with poor groups. I thought perhaps this problem is related to stance changes between target changes. Now I am thinking it’s more related to slight ch...

Some improvement over last month after working on repeatable stance, breathing and grip. Need to improve holding the aiming area and timing of the release. score=524 (89,86,89,85,92,83) LP2 RWS Meisterkugeln 10m, iron sights single handed paper targets 63 M ps.

Still working on a repeatable stance, firm grip and increasing stamina. One day I'll get to working on aiming and trigger control.

An improvement from last month. Need to work on fatigue and poor concentration as the last card shows.

The pistols are acting as if the sear isn't quite engaging. I thought I`d add my two cents to this topic. I had the problem with my AP20 that Gwhite describes above. The gun did not always cock when the lever was brought back to the vertical position. Usually, a single re-cock was sufficient to get...

Such as it is this is my entry for February. The cards are more consistent but in the wrong direction. Working on grip mostly at the expense of focusing on sights.

Yup another newbie. Here is my entry for January. Not very consistent card to card and Targetscan showed my Mean Radius kept increasing with each card. Anyway, here are the details,

Thanks for the advice. Concerning the above quote, how does one move from stop-start trigger pull (thinking) to steady increase trigger pull (not thinking)?

I too am new to air pistol shooting. I`m at the other end of the age spectrum from lithium however at 63M. Thanks for all the comments and good advice you all give to new folks. I too have a problem with throwing shots up and to the right (about 1 o`clock) as far as the 5-ring. Could this be the ten...
