hahahaha....that's great.

haha...you contradicted yourself twp. said we don't need strength then said we needed moderate strength training. anyways i disagree with twp. by strengthening your muscles you're going to fatigue less and since we've started pt, i've noticed that my holds have gotten better. we focus mainly on the ...

i shoot for the university of akron. you can check us out here

i thought about doing that, but i don't have to tools or the time to do it myself. i was going to ask my coach if he could fix something up over christmas because i know he's fairly swamped as well.

i originally got the 9003 because my wood stock on my 2002 broke. i thought "hey go for the newest biggest baddest one if i have to shell out money." however, i have never gotten comfortable with the gun. i get annoyed cocking the damn thing and i'd much rather lift to cock then crank to t...

i would get a 2002 over a 9003 or 8002. i really regret selling my 2002 for the 9003 i have now. also, i'm not really a feinwerkbau fan so....

But you got this wrong "well i saw this on guy...", what I do is when I read somewhere on different positions I look up and see different videos and photos and I go like "oh this guy/girl is doing like these or that with his/her position, just like what I had just read". It is n...

echoing those above me, ask and see what your coach may have in stock. then keep an eye out here and at other sites for a good used one if that's still what you want to do. for air gun i would go with an anschutz 2002. i owned a fwb, shot the p70's and then bought a 2002. i prefer anschutz, so i'm n...

this is going to be frusterating (take a deep breathe)...there really is no right and wrong way. like i said before i shoot air rifle with my buttplate on my bicep. it can be bad because you can pick up a pulse and slight flexing that you may be doing sub consciously. however, i have found out for m...

as frusterating as it is, the answer is personal preference. for me personallly, i don't use the hook in prone. i flip my buttplate upside down (so it resembles more of an air rifle buttplate) and fit right on my collar bone. i do this because 1. gun behind more of my body mass which helps with reco...

depending on the position, i usually shoot at least 10. in prone i shoot more to get really focused and in the zone for the whole match. standing i don't shoot as many because i dry fire at least once before every match shot. kneeling i shoot a bit more because my zero changes by a couple of rings.

to expand on what pdeal was saying, sighter shots are also important to warm up your head. you use those shots to help settle, get focused, and be mentally ready to fire your match. like in any other sport you have to warm up before the game and sighters are your way to do that.

i'm a rifle shooter and i've heard good things about both kk air and pelican. i actually started looking at pelican cases, but i'm not 100% on what demensions i would need. i don't need to carry any scope stand or equipment stuff cause that's in my other shooting box. thanks for the help. i really a...

i want to buy a hard lockable double pistol case. i have a walther lp 200 and a smith and wesson model 41 that i was to fit into one case. the problem is i haven't found one that would fit the length of my air pistol. does anyone have any suggestions for where i could start looking.

i see that there are a lot of walthers out here. one must also take into consideration that a vast majority of the 3-p air shooting is done with jrotc or school teams, where they couldn't use .22's (safety, range space, etc.) so you have these teams with a small budget to buy rifles. the cmp (civili...

My coach sent me this, and I thought the best way to get it out there would be to post it here. I don't know how many (if any) have been recovered since this was originally sent out. But people should keep an eye out. To The Bullseye Pistol Community July 21, 2006 We (The Ottawa Sportsmen’s Club Jun...

Coaching is not just about teaching the mechanics of shooting, it's about getting the best out of the shooter. i think this is one of the biggest points that people miss in all sports. that's the little something special that most people who try to coach don't have, and it's more than just getting ...

My daughter currently shoots w/ offset blocks. Should I look into those as well .... what about sight extension tubes? honestly i'm ignorant here since i use neither. most of the people i see with extension tubes have shorter barrels. i got the standard length so...i dunno. does she use offset bloc...

well JohnD if you are who i think you are, i must say that your daughter has shot some pretty impressive scores in the mid to high 580's with that very rifle. i definitely wouldn't call it an intermediate rifle.

1)Anschutz 1912 "sport" A nice rifle but I don't think it will get her to college its more of a intermediate rifle. i actually got an anschutz 1912 "sport" my freshman year of high school and i'm still shooting it entering my junior year of college. this is what i have and am th...

well there could be a couple of things you could try. first of all, your head should be able to rest comfortably on the cheek piece and still see through the sights. so you're going to need to adjust the cheek piece on that. if you feel like you have to smash your head down to barely see through it ...
