Re: Foot Markers - ISSF legal solutions?
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts. There's a lot to digest here :) I think I'm going to get a ruler for the floor - not so I can lock in a foot position forever, but so I can be conscious of my foot position, watch and record how it changes with changes in my NPA, and assess how good I am at usi...

Re: High and I can't set the Baikal IZH 46M any lower
We reach around the grip to get to the trigger and then squeeze the trigger by pulling it back into the pushing base of the palm. The shots are then unexpectedly high and to the right. Consider the fit of the grip. JE So now I have a higher front sight, I have zeroed in on the bull and am concentra...

Foot Markers - ISSF legal solutions?
So I'm really fussy about my stance and I find small variations make a big difference - so I try to make my feet really consistent. What ISSF competition legal solutions have people found (I believe foot markers are not allowed) to make sure they get their feet consistent? I should add, most of the ...

Re: High and I can't set the Baikal IZH 46M any lower
I had a friend 3-D printed the square block with front sight on top. He 3-D printed multiple blocks with different sight heights for me. I really recommend you do that, for two reasons. One, it solves your front sight height problem. Two, more important for me, it lessen that IZH 46 front heaviness...

Re: High and I can't set the Baikal IZH 46M any lower
More to satisfy morbid curiosity than to help you fix the problem (rmca has done a good job for you), a question - Is this a new problem on an airgun that once placed ok, or has this always been the case? Is this a newly acquired airgun? What happened in the gun's history to cause the problem, or t...

Re: High and I can't set the Baikal IZH 46M any lower
They all work great, and are far easier to make than they look. I used a bit of plastic that used to be a battery cover for one the kids' old toys. It's about the right thickness and a slightly smaller hole that the metal original allowed the grommet screw to hold it securely. Now the elevation is ...

Re: High and I can't set the Baikal IZH 46M any lower
You need a taller front sight. It looks like something that you can cut out of back plastic (bottle, packaging, Eley .22lr box, etc.) I had dismissed the idea of making one because while I have most of the tools, I don't have a bench and a vice for working with steel. But I had not thought about pl...

High and I can't set the Baikal IZH 46M any lower
Hi everyone - OK, so I've got the vertical adjustment on my Baikal IZH 46M set as far down as it will go and I'm in the 7/8 ring. I aim 'sub 6' style already, so it's not like I can just aim lower. Has anyone adjusted the front sight up? Is there a longer blade available (I can't find one on Google,...
