Re: Slide Mount or Frame Mount for Red Dot on .45?

Slide mount 45's are less snappy. Snappy is not your friend as a newbie. I disagree. I think frame mounts are easier for beginners to control and recover, and most people, for that matter. With a frame mount the recoil is a fast impulse, but the gun moves less. It feels like a bigger kick, but the ...

Is that a typo? I've never seen VV N100 and all the N1xx powders are rifle powder and probably too slow for pistol.

Re: A. Kudelin, the last 0.2 seconds, and the 'follow throug

I don't agree with everything said, but I am no expert. Most, if not all, "explanations" for shooting mistakes and success are not based in fact. I'm not sure it is possible to scientifically prove them until we have a machine that can read our minds and actually decode exactly what our th...

Re: GRIP PUTTY

Have anyone ever used polymer clay? ... I cured it for about 40 minutes at 130°C (266F). I cant really tell if the grip got a bit darker. Someone may have more specific knowledge about heat effects on wood, but I think it is unlikely that 130C for 40 minutes will damage the wood, but it will be cum...

Re: GRIP PUTTY

Kwikwood or PC-Woody. Both are 2 part wood putty that come in a "tootsie roll" package and one or both will be available at any hardware store (at least here in the US). Cut off the amount you want, knead for a few minutes and apply. It hardens to a firm set in 5-10 minutes or so, but can ...

Re: Pardini K12 Pellet Test

Anyway, how do the groups look? What is considered match grade accuracy? It looks like you are measuring groups outside-to-outside. Using that methods Elite International shooters would probably expect < 6.5 mm groups (1-2 mm center-to-center). In general world class air pistols will shoot premium ...

Re: Quote from the Pellet Master

In a similar vein I've always said that a positive attitude doesn't guarantee success, but a negative attitude pretty much guarantees failure.

Re: Other Similar Forum Sites?

There is nothing quite like TargetTalk. Pilkington's has my eternal gratitude for hosting it all these years. US Precision Pistol (NRA Bullseye) is covered in pretty good depth on BullseyeForum, and there is some cross-over between Bullseye and International Pistol. http://www.bullseyeforum.net/ US ...

Camp Perry Scores Archive Updated

The archive of National Match Pistol results has been updated for 2016 and 2017. There are a few matches that do not have final results published. I contacted the NRA requesting they be updated. We'll see what happens. They never published the final results last year for Match 128 (22 Only, CF Day, ...

Re: Dot Sight Technique

To my eyes, the red dot is not focused at infinity. All my dots (Ultra-Dots and Aimpoint Micros) are focused somewhere around 15-20 yards. If I focus on the dot, then shift to the target I can feel my eyes re-focus. I changed to focusing on the target after a Zins-Moody clinic and feel it works bett...

Re: Steel pins all over the grip

I can't think of a problem with inserting pins in the grip as long as the wood is thick enough to support it. I used super glue and sandblasting grit, probably Aluminum Oxide, but I'm not sure. I don't remember the grit size. When it had hardened I rubbed it really good to remove any loose particles...

Re: 10X Trainer

The ISSF wants shooting to be more spectator friendly... Each spectator (or on the web) can 'like' one competitor. The more likes a shooter gets, the greater the shock on the other competitors. Or maybe each spectator gets a limited number of shocks so they have to choose which competitor and when i...
