Rover, thanks for your reply, you are correct, nobody can search your car whithout a valid reason, I guess anybody can drive in NYC with whatever they want, air, fire etc and not get noticed by the police; after all, that is how the bad people do it all the times. but I guess if anybody wants to be ...

I saw the M4 on the CDNN catalog, and at $399 it looks like a real bargain, so much I am also tempted to buy it. the grips looks wonderful, they say it has adjustable trigger ( not sure if it includes weight, or it is only for position and stop). Rugers and Brownings for that same price range are be...

22 short and Rapid Fire??
Hi all, As I consider to shoot rapid fire (after 30 years) again, I understand the new rule mandates for 22lr only. I can see some 22 short rapid fire used pistols for sale, but who is buying them? and for what purpose, other than for pure fun. is the 22 short match ammo non existent anymore? cheers...

Thanks you guys for the nice postings. I know what it is to go to matches and pair with a snoring roommate, lots of fun, drinks at night, etc, etc,, but you are right, if you are serious, they are too much distraction. Once, we were 3 team member in a single room, two of us went out for drinks and t...

David, Thanks for your kind reply and recomendation. the dates on the website were crooked, I talked with Lindsay Brooks and she was able to fix it. It turns out for AP training starts on Sunday and not on Monday as it looked like. The program has hotels with group rates, which are fantastic, and mu...

Hi again, I think what I meant is that for recreational purposes, if you are a slow fire shooter, you can shoot both air and free, which is what I did for years.and if you have the time, resources and access you can shoot anything else, including rifle and shotgun. I want to win a gold medal, air pi...

AP or FP ???
Hi all. Most shooters shoot both, so to have a better chance to win on any of those, since they are similar. but, do top shooters focus on only one discipline and shoot the other one just in case?? I believe it would be imposible to spend the exact same ammount of time training on both, say 50/50 , ...

As Seen on TV. Shooting a hanging rope with a rifle???
Hi all. I've been shooting ( on and off) olympic pistol for the past 25 years, understand about accuracy, focus on the sight picture and the mental part of the game. but, Can somebody discuss the pure technical reasoning, on how a 4 inch ( group at 100 yards) rifle can snap a 1/4 inch cord ( or fish...

ohhh, that is very interesting, I though that in Sweden people shoots mostly air, like those countries with a very high restriction in firearms. It is always scary to bring a firearm into another country, but I think it will be even worst to bring that same gun back to the states. I am sure with a l...

thanks Fred but I am still confused, and this is due to the fact that I've never shot on electronic targets. I believe the electronic targets always shows you the score in decimal points. so: during qualifying: ( If only) when the computer indicates a higher score point, when a 8 becomes a 9 ? On fi...
