It is the centre of the hole that counts, does not matter what caliber it is, .32 or .38.

And yes, holes punched by a .32" bullet does not need to actually touch the ten ring to count as a ten. Use the guage!

It will shoot tens, and only tens! ;-)

Sorry, I don't know much about it other than that this model (colour) has been made in only in small quantities.

Cheers

First of all: Accept the fact that you are nervous. Some nervousness is actually positive regarding performance. It's when it gets over the top performance starts to degrade. Learn to accept the nervousness - see it as something positive and natural. Second: It will get better with experience. Compe...

Re: Styrene

The answer is 'Styrene' <read off the side of my tin> And now, what difference does that make (apart from the smell) ? Rob. Thanks for your answer! Epoxy is hard and tough, but often slow curing. I thought perhaps the Morini paste could be a special type of fast curing epoxy and therefore be better...

Is the Morini paste epoxy or styrene based? Ok you non chemists... ;-) Does it smell real strong(styrene) or almost nothing? (epoxy) Cheers, Axel By "styrene", do you mean polyester resin? Polyester resin is used like epoxy, but has a higher shrink level than epoxy, and so is used mostly ...

But I disagree with Steve Swartz re: his opinion about Muzzle Compensators. If your wrist is locked and your grip is firm ; no felt muzzle flip...not an iota ! I still find these techno marvels superfluous. Now if Sergei Pyzhianov was in his top form in 2005 and not 1989, and set his amazing record...

Bill A,

Light FP triggers doesn't automaticly mean easier shooting - it can actually be the opposite. For me, about 100 grams is perfect. I can feel the trigger with a "finger flesh roll" without fearing that the gun will fire at the wrong time

I have a crisp 2-stage trigger setup. It feels wonderful. My new pistol will lose its virginity tomorrow. ;-) I have shot lots of Lapua Super Club with my Pardini SP New (manual trigger). Super Club works fine. But I have had bad luck with some newer lot numbers - very soft and with reload problems ...

Counting scores during training does not mean much in reality. Sure, it is fun to shoot high scores.

Kent! I agree, very unclear. Sight picture can mean many things. What I mean by sight picture is the black circle at the target in relation to the sights - ie, trying to aim at the target instead of focusing at the sights. I'm wondering about what you wrote regarding locking the wrist and taking sig...

Sight picture is of much less importance than sight alignment and smooth trigger work. I use the blank target training as proof of that thesis. I often train AP with a blank target. And what strikes me is that how incredible tight the groupings are, sometimes just a little bigger than the 10-ring wi...

Here is how I did it during a match. - prepare for the next shot, open lever and put in a pellet and close lever - change of mind - I need a short break - open lever and put the gun down - after the break, put in a new pellet and close the lever.

Thanks Kent!

Beautiful shooting there. 100p and 99p !!! :-)

I have one more question: What about accidently loading 2 pellets, is it as simple as with a Morini? I did it today for the first time. It was only a small club match, but still... Very frustrating!
