Hi durant7, thanks for the information. It matches another observation: German cars are ususally sold for a cheaper prize in the US than in Germany. Maybe another viewer could provide information for her/his country? ( In a book titled "Kiss, bow or shake hands - doing business internationally&...

I remember having once seen the H&N boxes - at least some 10 years ago. You could have a look at the Website of H&N (an english version is available here: http://www.hn-sport.de/engl/index.htm ) They offer a distributor in the US as well, but I am not sure if this applies for their reloading...

Good morning Tim. I first had to read the wikipedia article on the SAT because in Germany admission to a university is generally handled in a different way. From what I concluded it would be a misuse to predict success in life by the SAT score. I have not advocated to use the described test to predi...

Good evening jackh,

exactly how you do what you do is not the issue of the described test (for this there is indeed exhaustive coverage), instead the point is:

..diagnostics regarding motivation in sports..

in other words: What mental constituents drive you to do what you do

best regards

Good evening Ed, firstly, the test is not desigend specifically for shooting, instead it seems to be applicable to a wide range of sport activities from chess to fishing, marathon and shooting (just going for some extreme examples). Secondly, the recent test experience biased me and I cannot swim th...

I have found an interesting diagnostics regarding motivation in sports. It was developed 2004 at the University of Stuttgart, Germany (Schuler et. al., department of cognitive psychology).

Very recently I switched from an elder FWB to Steyr LP10. Since my results are below 600, I thought it would be sensible to question all my (documented) habits. In pursuing this, one of my approaches is to stop overholding. I try to stick to a limit of max. 15 seconds per shot. Additionally, when my...

When you read about Zen, they talk about emptying your mind, etc. What they are talking about is what some psychologists refer to as 'up-time', i.e., a state where your conciousness is focused externally, on interacting with your environment, rather than internally, reflecting about interacting...

In Germany, energy below 7,5 Joule warrants an "F" for free of licence.
Otherwise you would need a permit to own, buy and use an air pistol or an airgun.

So at least for Germany, this is still a valid requirement.

kind regards

Axel

An other explanantion for this could could be a historical one: According to an elder book on shooting of mine, published in German, airgun shooting became an olympic discipline only following WWII. The allies prohibited at that time the productions of weapons in Germany with the exception of airgun...

There was indeed an old tv-ad from the bundesbahn (15+ years ago). It depicted a lonely guy alone in a conference room waiting for others to come - suggesting that with the railway you would always be on time - not like the ones relying on other means of transportation. Nobody would broadcast this o...
