Re: How far back should the trigger be
Trigger reach should as much or as little that allows you to press the trigger straight back (1) without extra conscious effort, (2) without disruption of sight alignment, when (3) you grip the pistol naturally. You will know whether it’s too short or too long based on experimentation and finding yo...

Re: Adjusting rear sight as novice
Target panic is enough of a problem that the USMC Pistol Team workbook (a bullseye development workbook) dedicates early efforts to shooting blank targets. Blank targets build sight alignment and sight focus skills while also developing trust in the shooter’s area aim hold. The perceived error of wo...

Re: Adjusting rear sight as novice
What do you mean by “shots go everywhere?” Are they all on the paper? In the scoring rings? Near all in the black? What’s “everywhere” mean? There are actual coaches here, so take my input (not an air pistol coach, just a decently competitive bullseye shooter that dabbles in AP) with a grain of salt...

Re: Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s
Cop work was a past life, funny enough. Just to make sure Saturday was not a fluke, I had a brief (30-shot) practice today after a work-from-home lunch and a little dryfire. 20 pellets at blank targets and two bulls. I kept the rearmost paper in place for blank targets and ended up with a 9-ring siz...

Re: Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s
I just wrapped an hour of practice. My closing targets before shooting blanks were a 46, two 47s, and a 48. I reduced my sight radius by 2 cm and put more rake back into the grip (which precluded gripping as hard as I normally do) which helped. Shooting faster did not. I spent four very poor targets...

Re: Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s
I’m not sure I am comprehending… conscious eyes/subconscious trigger versus subconscious eyes/conscious trigger? Is that the distinction? With the bullseye gear, conscious trigger focus with subconscious sight awareness is the game given how heavy the triggers (and big the scoring rings) are. Little...

Re: Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s
I have not tried blank target drills in a couple seasons. Last time I shot blanks was service pistol practice. I have a local buddy with a SCATT, but I should do blank targets. If this is an eye/trigger issue and I’m snatching at sight pictures to fight my wobble, that would mean different group sha...

Re: Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s
Yes, I can call and am shooting on call. If my eye refuses to focus correctly, I put the gun back down and redo the lift. I’m watching my front sight lift with the shot and settling it back into my hold on the follow through before dropping. Pellets are hitting the target where I see the sights lift...

Interpreting Targets — Rings of 9s
Air pistol gurus—I have a question. I’ve hit a consistent plateau in training. I can consistently hold 9-ring. 10s are occasional and 8s are rare. But, most of the time, my pellets are falling cleanly in the 9-ring. High, low, left, right; there’s no rhyme or reason. The heat map of my shots this pa...

Re: Monthly AP League April 2024
Brought the wrong bag and had to shoot an indoor league match with my everyday driving glasses. Shot on B40/4 paper indoors. Sights were usable enough on the top bulls (1, 3, 5) thanks to overhead lighting… bottom bulls (2, 4, 6) were a mess. Really missed my shooting glasses! 94-1, 89-1, 94-2, 87, ...

Air Venturi Importing Snowpeak Pistols?
I saw this new PCP on the Airgun Depot website today: https://www.airgundepot.com/air-venturi-comp-10-match-pcp-pistol.html Also available as a “new” product on Pyramyd Air’s website. It looks like a Snowpeak PP20 with new branding to me. I know the Snowpeak guns have had their issues, but these loo...

Re: Pistol shooting and gym
I went from lifting heavy four days per week plus a day or two of light recovery cardio—for the power lifters, I had an 1185 total at 190 pounds, not great at all, but reasonably athletic—to barely exercising over the past year. I had an aortic aneurysm in the gym early in 2023. I know have cardiac ...

.22 Pistols with Fully Adjustable Grips?
Does any .22 in the market have an adjustable grip comparable to the Steyr air pistols? I recently took a chance on refitting an old Morini grip to my Steyr air pistol—when all was said and done and the wood putty was carved up, I had decreased the angle of grip rake by about 10 degrees and moved th...

Re: Monthly AP League March 2024
Shot at a monthly league match on four-target cards. Struggled a bit with the indoor lighting until the last card, when I all but closed the iris on my glasses. Cutting out everything except the sights helped tremendously for those four bulls. 91, 92-1, 87, 89-1, 96-1, 94-2 549-5 M 35 Steyr LP1P RWS...

Re: Do i NEED to use a blinder?
I use a blinder to prevent eye fatigue and give my brain an easier time. Air pistol matches are pretty short, but it’s still a long time to force your eyes to focus at a short distance (front sight) and mentally tune out the image from your non-dominant eye. You aren’t seeing the second ghosted sigh...

Re: RWS R 10 Match Pellets Availability
I have noticed one difference between the tins of Meisterkugeln pellets and R10 pellets I have shot: In every 500ct tin of Meisterkugeln, there is one pellet that is “wrong” enough that it makes a difference. It usually has a weird soft report, feels different in “recoil” (I do not shoot a gun with ...

Re: Shaking limbs loose before shooting?
You should be warming up before any physical activity. Shooting is a physical activity. At the very least, it’s a set of 60+ slow shoulder raises with an isometric hold. I have found warming up like that (arm circles, trunk twists, ankle rolls, neck rolls, toe touches) helps me prepare physically an...

Re: Monthly AP League February 2024
Shot these scores at my third ever AP match. Been shooting with borrowed equipment; I finally picked up a used AP from Pilkington. Fun sport—wish the lighting at my local venue was better for iron sights!

Re: For you point buying morons....
It's a crappy analogy, but I'll play along. Equipment suitable for top-flight pistol competition is very much closer in level of sophistication to a DeHavilland Tiger Moth than to an F35. You’re absolutely right about the analogy. It’s shallow, but I’m not an aviation guy. Gear that was Olympic qua...
