I agree with Brian's approach to the 2700-match timing, however it's not the only shooting competition in the world. Free Pistol competitors tend to hold for a little longer, and often raise 3-4 times per shot. Air, too. Nothing wrong with having strength developed in the "off season" if t...

Back when I was in my late 30s I used to do a bunch of REALLY HEAVY shoulder presses and lateral raises on Nautilus machines, and follow a total body workout with holding a 5 lb weight disk "on aim" until it started to drop. After about 2 minutes on aim, spectators start wondering what you...

Wobble Board

I used a wobble board for a hip injury, but it also helped with posture and stability. Stand with one foot on a chair, the other foot on a wobble board as far in front as you can be and still keep your pelvis perpendicular to the legs (on the chair behind you and the wobble board in front). Do split...

I have the facilities to trouble shoot the circuit, reverse engineer it and build replacement circuit cards. If I remember correctly the w...

participant quotas

Biggest reason that the MQS and other qualification systems are in place in shooting sports is very similar to that in most other sports - size of the overall Olympic Games. I'm a rowing coach by day, and a recreational target shooter. Rowing gets x number of athletes - full stop. They get there by ...

Re: Hammerli 152 circuit

Hi! Found an 152 in very good conditions in the metal parts, but with some reluctance to fire. Seems that the electronics are the problem. Any chance of finding the diagram of that circuit? Thanks I know a fellow who has a 152 whose trigger circuit died. Hammerli is out of replacements and would ha...
