Thanks All for the suggestions- busy at work 8-( ; but hope to have a look at the suggestions this evening/ tomorrow. I had checked USA Shooting.
And I know Santa Clara is not San Francisco but when you travel 5,000miles it all blurs?

Hi, I'm in Santa Clara on business trip until 11 Nov. Trip was at short notice so did not have time to research the area. Looking to see what 10m AP activity is in area. I've searched the forum but nothing I can see jumps out. Anyone got suggestions for clubs/ranges, events or shooting stores that m...

I'm planning to do a trial grip with 'sugru'; new material which looks interesting, it may be of use for moulds. Waiting on a sample pack to be delivered. If it's successful will report.

D'oh! missed that line.
Tried it again; still not working.
Mark, when you installed did you get any confirmation of successful install? I just get 5 lines of 'Installing - - -...' last line is 'Installing USB trigger sensor driver...' but no text as to success of operation.

Guys, Thank you very much for all that info.. Though it looks like it is not available anywhere. Even the British Library does not have it listed!! I thought all books published in UK would be listed there.
Thanks again all.

Hi Joker, No I have that book also-
I've seen reference to 'Pistol Shooting' by LA & RS here on Target Talk & most recently in a coaching article on 'Pistol Austrailia' site. It could be that these references are to the german book as identified by LukeP but giving the title in english?

Luke- this looks like a german language text (I had found this)- but it's the english text (if one exists) that I want the number for. Thanks anyway.

ISBN for Book Pistol Shootig Antal, Laslo & Skanaker, Ra

Hi. Would anyone have the ISBN (number) for the book 'Pistol Shooting' by Laslo Antal, and Ragnar Skanaker; Liverpool, England: published by authors, 1985.
Can't seem to find it anywhere with text searches- it is in english right?
Will try for an inter library loan if I get the ISBN.
Thanks, Joe.

Where to get low diopter prescription lens

Hi, I currently use a -0.29 diopter (ordered as -0.25), I find that while it works reasonably well, I would like to try a slightly lower diopter to move natural focus point back slightly, to improve rear sight focus, blur target slightly more while keeping foresight at optimum. I would like to try a...
