Our collegiate pistol team doesn’t shoot nearly as much as yours and our numbers are dwindling. Our source of cheap practice pellets dried up and so we went to find something else. We acquired different brands of tins at $6 or less and tested them for weight consistency, head diameter consistency an...

I think you are looking too far back. I believe it was Yogi Berra.

I can't help you with a specific recommendation but many take Dr. Norman Wong's article with them to help their optometrist of choice.

Don Nygord's advice to me when I asked the question "what gun to get?" was to get a Ruger (MKII at the time). Years, and many guns later, when I finally bought one I wished that I had taken that advice. Two months ago I shot a match with a distinguished former Olympian. He beat me shooting...

Stick with the 747 until you can afford a high end pistol. The 747 is an excellent starter pistol for learning the fundamentals. As others have noted it is capable of good scores. All of our collegiate shooters start with the 747 and, once they have achieved a certain level of performance earn the r...

The best training I did for bullseye was single shot air pistol. (I have an LP5 but only train single shot) The best training I did for 10 meter air pistol was bullseye. Here's some advice that came from a shooter with several years on you who still manages to out shoot a young-buck like me: 'First ...

My sequence was to keep the pistol pointed at the target, turn my palm up (right handed for me), bend my elbow while lowering my arm (keeping the pistol pointed down range and trigger finger on frame) until my forearm (between wrist and elbow) was braced against my hip. The leaver is operated by the...

Bill, I don't feel qualified enough to answer this question but since no one else has offered anything I'll give you my opinion. The only time my LP5 (CO2) doesn't reset is about 10 shots before I run out of gas. Before that happens the single shot magazine fails to extend completely after firing. I...

FWIW, I shoot 480's in the Free pistol event with either my Hammerli FP or my Unique (Standard).

Shoot the pistol you are confident with.

PRICE: $800 for a DES/VO is great deal for a 99% collector's piece. If it's for shooting that price is a little steep. (I'll leave the decision up to you; after all, I paid $900 for my DES 69 and I do not regret it) PARTS: Do a search on this board for UNIQUE and there will be several threads discus...

I use muffs with the highest NRR number that I can find. Becaue my ears produce a lot of wax I don't use plugs. I've had too many ear infections caused by blocking the flow.

Please sign up early as the 1100 and 1200 relays on Saturday fill up very fast. When these relays are fi...

My example of this pistol exhibited doubleing and sometimes trippling right from the box. No matter what cleaning was done the pistol continued with the problems. No-one locally was able to fix it and I eventually sold it to someone who sent it out of state for repairs. It has since changed hands ag...

F. Paul,

When you came to our Shoot in UT you showed us what you had used on your grips but had forgotten the name of it. Could you share that with us now?

Hyrum

When I first started shooting I tried both and settled on the "hand in pcket." Later when I was doing gun holding exercises and first shot drills my body was getting tired after the first couple of sets of ten. For grins I tried the belt buckle position and was able to continue through a f...

Is there anyone out there using Starline brass that has a good CAST (i.e. not Hollow based) wadcutter load?

The University of Utah held its Collegiate sectional last week.

The NRA rules only state the the ctg has to be .22 cal non-magnum rimfire. So short, long or long rifle meet the rule. Some local leagues have adopted a "NRA type" format whereas they drop the more stringent rules in order to get greater turnout. Grips and trigger weight are the ones that...
