Re: RWS R 10 Match Pellets Availability

Whizzz is in the UK, and prefers 4.49 head size pellets as a known commodity. Some pellets are hard to find, now, including here in Ireland. Is this a supply issue, or something else?

RWS R 10 Match Pellets Availability

Hi in the UK we seem to have a dearth of R10 Match pellets. The last remaining tins are super expensive (if you can find them).

Anyone know why?

Or, what other pellets are there available in 4.49 sizes over here?

Thats interesting I hadn't thought of making that change. I do wear a reading/close up lens to see the sights better, so might try this too.

Sight Image

Hi, I have a beginners question about sight images. I have been shooting for a few months ( you can see my journey here https://www.instagram.com/10meterpistol/ ), I haven't been able to get any local coaching so have watched lots of videos and read books.

Re: The New ISSF Air Pistol Finals Format

Just watched the Junior Womens competition ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsmZgWOmPDo&ab_channel=ESCvideostream ). Blimey they are good! It took a bit of a while to get used to the format, I would think as a shooter it might feel a little disjointed. I like to get into things and work at my o...
