I had thought of importing, but I dont know any dealers who would be willing to deal with customs for the transfer.

I have tried used guns already, obviously no luck there though.

My wife and I regularly shoot rapid fire match, basically every range in Australia is capable for running the match. I cant think of any range who doesnt have the ability to shoot it. Unfortunately though, not as many shoot rapid as they are either too lazy to set up the targets/range or couldnt be ...

Re: Men's .22 sport pistol

Anyhow, it serves to remind that rapid fire is dying everywhere (in spite of the calibre change from .22 short to .22 lr), and that centre fire is totally anorexic. Whereas sports pistol, where it *is* opened to men, is by far the most popular cartridge pistol discipline. I would not be extremely s...

Target height for 10m Air Pistol

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell me what the centre height of a 10m air pistol target is?
I am trying to set up a practice range in my garage, and dont want to set the target too high or low.

Cheers

In Australia: - Mens 'Sport' is only shot at club competitions. As far as I know it is not part of any zone or state competitions. - Clubs normally use the same grade structure as for Womens 25M The event was shot at the 2009 World Masters Games in Sydney. Its not a girlie event. It saves time in r...

After a lot of experimenting, I found that 1.2 grains of VV using Malcolm Bones Taipan 98 grn. HBWC produced an intensley accurate and easy to handle load. My experience with Bullzi projectiles was that their weight variation was all over the place, and no two bullets landed in the same place, wher...

Re: 32 Load advice

Hi Brad, I think your load is very low. Most shooters that I know use 1.6 for that gun shooting at 25metres, with WST powder. The velocity works out at about 700, which is very close to a lapua factory load. You did not say whether your projectiles are waxed or dry lubricant, which would make a dif...

Hey Spencer,
I have new Bullseye powder, and just ordered projectiles from H C Vanetten (Bullzi) in Vic.

I dont have time to wait for Ray Gray's projectiles with Nationals just around the corner.

Thanks for the advice.
I will definately go for the Morini then, especially if Toz parts become harder to find should the worst happen.

Free Pistol

If money was no object, what would your preferred free pistol be if you had a choise of a brand new Toz 35 with Morini grip or a brand new Morini CM84E and why?

I am about to buy my first free pistol and I dont have a lot of time to test each model out before I buy.

Thanks in advance
