I had my first triple at the last competition, I was more concerned that people thought I was pulling a fast one than anything else, but because my IZH shoots slow it leaves a trace behind and when seen at close distance you can tell. I had one shot removed last year, and I didn't like being looked ...

I am a student here and can take almost all the advice given so far, I am also starting to be very comfortable with all the theoretical aspects of a perfect shot and try to apply it every time I pull the trigger, but I am coming to the realization that clearing your mind in practice and specially in...

There are fancier ways of doing it, but this works for me, and you can then use a varga lens holder to make it easier to get standard size lens cut in various prescriptions.

I had to use shims on the right side of the lower part of a Morini grip, in order to change the angle of the grip from almost vertical.
From your sight alignment image your grip needs to go right at the base, the distance the sights are out of alignment.

Just a quick fact.
A free pistol target for 45.72m/50yards as a ten ring with the dimension of 1 and 25/32".
The target for 50m has a ten ring with 1 and 15/16", or almost 2 inches.

I feel your pain. I am learning this is a process, and no quick fixes exist. I guess this is like the oriental view that the path to get there is the goal, and some of us will never get to shoot 573. Probably the best thing is to start by finding out what we are doing wrong, which is the hard part. ...

There is another option, via Teflon flat rings or rubber o-ring, about 1-2mm thick, at the front of the barrel against the sight block, works for me, and no alteration to the gun. Here is a visual illustration http://news.webshots.com/album/65975805Baeysx?start=36 and a few more hints that might hel...

Lets all hope for a knock off real soon, with better looking models, if it is not asking too much.

There is a shooting section on their site, so they know shooters could use a pair.

Here is a novice approach, based on a suggestion from somebody with more years of experience than my age: get a lens holder and lenses of .25,.50,.75, 1.00 here http://www.pilkguns.com/varga.shtml get a clip to attach your lens holder to existing prescription glasses here: http://www.harborfreight.c...

New indoor range in PA

Clayton's in the Willow Grove area PA has opened a new indoor range, hope to see some of the area shooters in there, and hopefully start some regular matches. AP matches will work very well there, everything else has to be scaled to 62.5 ft. I am not affiliated with them in any way, just that it is ...

After downloading the scatt software and printing to your distance as mentioned, you can do a bit of copy/paste and end up with something like this to save paper.
At five shots per bull you get one match per page.

Make sure the sights are in line with the barrel, mines are not, and that creates a geometry exercise when adjusting the sites. Elevation does not move on the vertical axis if the sights are not in line with barrel, when you click either one way or the other, it will move along an angled line betwee...
