Re: Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s

It sounds like you are shooting 540, or better most days. I generally shoot 8, or better. When I do not- I shoot 6/7's at 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock. I do not think it involves a triggering issue, or a sighting issue,...but a timing issue. I think I wait too long to take the shot...leading to small err...

Re: Spotting Scammers

JADENDEM PM'd me and states he has a "buddy" who might have what I am looking for. He wants me to contact his buddy via, "Whats App." JADENDEM has no posts on this web, ever! ROTFLMAO!

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?

She grew up around shooting. Her dad and brothers competed, and hunted. She says she never had any interest, though, and still does not.

Re: AP20 pro vs. LP500

It seems the AP20 is a good choice for our son and daughter. Once a buyer reaches the cost of the AP20Pro, it seems an Lp500 would be a better choice.

22 target pistol or rifle

I am thinking of taking up target shooting, along with my children. Should I choose 22 pistol, or rifle? Perhaps air pistol, or air rifle? Why? I have no experience with any of the above.

Re: AP20 pro vs. LP500

Lothar wrote: Tue Jan 31, 2023 7:56 pm Hey all - curious if the extra $400-$500 of the LP500 is a big enough upgrade in performance or features to justify the additional cost over the AP20 Pro.

Anyone ever used both?
We had this same question. Thank you for the help!

Best choice for young ones

We have two young ones that are just now old enough to learn to shoot 10 meter air rifle, or pistol. They seem interested in competing. What is the best long term choice for them? Do young people stick with air rifle, or air pistol, more? Should we just let them choose? It would be nice if both can ...
