Sounds like your coach knows what you need to be doing. When I first started shooting 10m, I shot all the time. Shooting three or four 60 shot matches a day at home for about a year, and in competition once a week at our shooting club. When I switched guns to a Morini, I went to the club several tim...

We have been through this many times before. Any good target air pistol or rifle will shoot any pellet that is not deformed into a single hole at 10m. Yes some people prefer brand x over brand y and think that the expensive ones are going to help increase their score. In reality if you clamp your gu...

IZH-46!

The quality is fantastic. It is not pretty but it shoots as well as all the ones you listed.

I read it completely different:

Comments:
"May only be loaded with one (1) pellet.
Ported barrels and perforated barrel
attachments are allowed."

There is no "not" in that sentence.

Would you like to try again?

Re: question about shoot with different pellets

Beyond 10m, target pistols poop out really fast in accuracy. Actually that isn't true. I shoot at 10M, 20Y and 25M with both my air pistols and there's no obvious loss of accuracy. I know some people use lighter pellets at 25M with guns like the morini which tend to have a slightly lower power / ve...

At my home practises I use 4.49 pellet but also in my poligon practises, my coach give to me a 4.5 pellets. It would be an handik...

Re: Are air pistols considered "firearms"?

I have a cousin can't own a firearm because of his felony charge, but he is on probation for 2 years and the charge will be dropped after two years of imposed sentence. One of the conditions are that he cannot own firearms during the 2 years. He has been practicing to shoot competitively for a whil...

If getting your tank inspected once a year is a hassle, you need to find another place to get it inspected and filled. It takes about 5 minutes. Lone Star Scuba is where I get mine filled and inspected, and they are fast and courteous. They know exactly what I am doing and dont have any problem. It ...

TSRA hosts it and USAS sanctions it. I have shot it twice but I did not this year. It is in March and is held in Haltom City and Austin because of the size of the state and the availability of venues. Each venue shoots on a different day.

I would guess that the vast majority of shooters in the USA do not shoot using ISSF rules. Most are proably NRA rules. There is plenty of room for a scope if you use the right mount. Just as there is plenty of room if you use all the appropriate equipment. Even with target carrier controls at our cl...

I was not aware that there were any 25m and 50m air pistol events.

Are you sure this rule applies to AP?

The "M" should be a dead giveaway that it is an international sport. LOL!

There is a minor discrepancy since the book says targets are shot at "10 meters(33 feet)", and 10 meters = 32.808399 feet.

Maybe the UN will make NFL change the field to meters instead of yards.

It looks like diddles proxy checker might be the way to go. He seems to be most insistent.

But I, of course, would never use a proxy checker on my 10m targets.
