After learning the basic skills, which you have apparently done, mostly it comes down to relaxation, philosophy, understanding your own mental processes and how they affect your subconscious. Its work to get yourself into the optimum mental and physical state to perform well. You have to work out wh...

The ammo that i have had the most issues with is Geco Semi-Automatic. In some cases when I drop the round into the chamber (with slide removed) it stick out up to 1cm, and would need a good push to get it in. From what I have heard FWB AW93s generally have tight match chambers, many have been recut...

Viewed from above your hand is twisted anti-clockwise around the grip, from the rear your wrist/heel is offset to the right. Your wrist/heel should be pushed to the left, so there is no gap between your heel and the grip as shown in the first picture, your thumb should point directly at the target -...

The question was "is it common to focus on 10m pistols only or is it more common to participate in both 10m pistols and rifles as well as the other shooting events" I've seen pretty well no overlap between pistol and rifle, or shotgun, although the fundamentals are the same. Different pist...

Yes but its still very rare for athletes to really train across multiple disciplines.

I have one gun club in my city, and another in the next city, 147 km from me. The nearest gun club that does ISSF shooting is 1155 km from me (717 miles). Am I doomed to never compete? You can compete all you like - A good aspect of shooting is the scores can be directly compared wherever you are. ...

Generally there's little overlap between pistol, rifle, shotgun.

First step - find a competent coach/instructor who can train you in the right technique from day one. This probably means finding a good club with some competent members and a good coach. Read some books. Set goals, formulate a rounded training plan - physical training, mental training, shooting exe...

I'm doubtful the extra 1/10,000th of a second of barrel time really requires extra attention to follow through.

I found it simplest to just have a machinist knock out a bunch of brass bars, then drill them out as I needed them.
Easier than getting parts milled and turned and fitting together.
Now I need another batch.

Just being able to have the top 8 able to shoot simultaneously instead of two relays of four would be a bonus.

Pretty well any range can accommodate sport.

If everyone, men, women, juniors, shot a single target 25m .22 event that would make a lot of sense, make olympic shooting much more accessible and comprehensible. Sport pistol or standard, I don't care - although the rapid part of sport is probably a lot easier for a spectator to follow and make se...

I can see the point, but a better analogy would be for 800m qualification and final to be over 400m. What might make sense would be to have 8s x2 6s x2 4s x2 4sx1 - Eliminate #8 4sx1 - Eliminate #7 Etc. That would build a bit of interest, suspense etc. spectators can see it getting harder and the sc...

This is what I did. Had 20 off brass blocks milled and drilled out a series of holes in 0.1mm steps. I can swap them over quickly and know exactly what charge its going to throw, no spending time tweaking and weighing. Also a round hole should throw a more consistent charge than a slot. https://i.im...

That wasn't the issue, it was starting from zero

"Start from zero" in the finals is straight garbage."

Every sport starts from zero in the finals.

No other sport accumulates points from the qualification stage, its all about the finals.
Too bad.

The expander is critical, full length and correct diameter.

I don't think I've heard of anyone using a regulator to reduce from above 200 bar eg 300 bar to 200 bar. Normally the pistol cylinder adaptor will only fit the correct size scuba cylinder outlet (200bar and 300bar scuba cylinders have different threads so they can't be mixed up in the field) so you'...

Pretty well everyone does this in timed fire in all matches. I believe it comes down to how you use your trigger finger Pulling the trigger directly backwards is a complex movement for multiple joints - which are operated my multiple overlapping muscles and tendons - it takes willpower to do this. S...
