paw80 - I can see how that would work with AP or .22. Is there a problem with offset recoil in larger calibers, like .45? Does that affect how quickly you can recover for timed or rapid fire? Roger Hi Roger, No problems that I've noticed; been shooting cross-dominant since I started shooting. I sho...

I shoot right handed but my dominate eye is my left. I currenly use a blinder on my left eye and an aperture on my right eye to enhance focus. Any opinion on if I should shoot cross eye dominant...right hand shoot, left eye aim? Hi Xman, do yourself a favor and just shoot cross dominate. I and hund...

Hi Dulcmr, Don't sweat the diopter stuff; Simply follow Rovers advice and get thee to thy Ophthalmologist, and get a prescription for the distance to your front sight, as viewed while in your shooting stance. If the eye care practice has opticians on their staff, they can have your lens cut to fit y...

Hey guys just got into the sport and am on the fence about equipment. I shoot both a fas 6004 and a Izh 46. The 6004 trigger is too heavy and I cannot lighten it more unless I take it to s gunsmith. The izh seems too top/ front heavy. Although I do love both guns I feel like I'm missing out on the ...

Hi izzy Jim, since you've replaced springs(recoil?..very important with any aging HS), I'm gonna guess that your problem is likely magazine related. Have you contacted High Standard yet? DO NOT EMAIL Them. Call them on the phone, and continue phoning until you do talk to a Human. http://www.highstan...

Tony; I know it was an old post but just happened to see it now. Yes, depth is adjustable. After I read your post I looked at my rear sight and lo and behold that plate is notched to move up and down. No wonder I love my old Steyr LP1p, has all the adjustments needed. Now I have something else to m...

Rover wrote: "I'm also of the opinion that if you're investing a lot of time and effort into the sport you should probably train and shoot the best you can afford." I am not of this opinion. If you had looked at my pellet tests, you would understand why I'm using RWS Basic as my pellet of ...

Never really heard of "depth" of the rear sight. My LP1 has an adjustment for "width" of the rear sight. Maybe or maybe not what you were asking ? Clarence Hi Clarence, I have a Steyr LP1-C; and it does have a rear sight notch depth adjustment. If you have the Steyr LP1 manual, ...

In my quest to find a grip that fits me better than the stock Steyr grip on my LP10, the name Rink keeps coming up a lot. I see that you can send them drawings and molds of your hand, or even fly over there and let them do it to get it perfect. I also know I could just whittle away at the one I hav...

I don't need anything for seeing at a distance. Are you saying I need .75 for pistol shooting? FWIW, I've shot for many years. Focusing on the bull was never part of my question. I just noticed it has gotten more blurry when I use glasses that enable me to focus on the front sight. David, isn't it ...

Hi David, you said: "At 46, my eyesight isn't what it once was. I'm using reading glasses pretty much always. I have to use them to shoot so the sights are in focus. The target isn't quite as crisp as it once was, though." When you are really focusing on the front sight, and it is a sharp ...

Sorry Muffo, but I find that twisted masking tape to be awesome and very cheap. I'm so sorry you have so many problems with such a problem free concept. I've used masking tape as a smoker for at least five years with none of the issues you encountered. Maybe your domestic masking tape sucks compared...

I will be moving to Southern California (Mission Viejo area). Any bullseye shooting in the vicinity? Any help is much appreciated. Hi Guy, There is a Bullseye club match every month at the Prado Shooting venue which is in Chino, but it's also very close to Corona. There is also 10 meter AP60 in La ...

Hi, Make that +2 (or is that +3?) on the use of twisted masking tape(tan seems best).

I learned about the exotic masking tape smoker several years ago on this very Forum.

Ernie, The multi-stroke conversion is totally unnecessary for ten meter shooting. It was conceived for hunters that wanted more foot pounds of energy for killing critters. You do not need to modify the Izzy for Silhouette either. I've shot pistol silhouette with a Marksman 2004 and knocked down each...

PAWO8O Where how and who made a Morini RF grip that could be rotated? Wonder why the manufactures wouldn't do that with all there grips if it was possible. Don't think it would cost them any more money at all. Just a very little initial design time with the grip I would think. Guess it depends on h...

Hi Brad, I've got offset grips on three pistols; one from Rink and two from Marschal. All three grips work great for me. I also have a Morini 22CM RF that has a rotatable adjustment for the grip that I used; and it works beautifully. The suggestion of simply rotating the pistol in your hand is what ...

ok, thanks guys! It looks like once I decide on a air pistol brand, I'll just have to see whats available or improvise. I guess clamping one to the barrel sleeve would make it nose heavy like the Izzy. Hi Jok, I really believe that after you choose your next 10M airpistol purchase; please give seri...

Hi guys, I guess I'll jump in here with a sweeping generalization: A used FWB 100 series or Pardini model 58(in good condition) is a far better choice 10 meter match SSP air pistol, than a brand new Izzy 46M can ever hope to be. Pardini 58s and FWB mod 100s can be found for less money than the new I...

When I started air pistol the local talent were shooting in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. To try and catch up to them I was shooting 20 to 25000 a year. I think that is where the tendonitus came in. What I'm getting at is if you think the mind learns a mechanical trigger better or do you just learn to kno...
