Azuaro,
I stand humbly corrected.

Good luck with your conversion to FT.

Marc

I don't know about the adjustments to the velocity, but the P70FT has a different twist in the barrel rifling for the MUCH heavier pellets used in FT competition. Jacking up the speed on a match rifle will only provide you with a compromise, not a real FT rifle.

Just my opinion.

John, Welcome to the world of serious target shooting. I hope you find a home here and enjoy the competition and comaraderie with the fine folks who inhabit this group. You have raised a good issue, and I don't think I have seen it asked before. Here is my opinion, for what it is worth. I have owned...

Here's a picture of one for sale on Gunsamerica.

Not something you see every day, that's for sure.

Ulrich, I emailed you 7 photos, but I'm afraid they are only about 256K instead of the Hi Res you are looking for. My wife and I thought it was a great tour and we would do it again on a minute's notice. There was much to see and much to do and a lot of new friends to meet and to shoot with. What a ...

This was an excellent trip in every imaginable way. Even my wife, who is just a casual shooter, enjoyed the entire tour. Scott provided just the right amount of structured tour with just enough free time for walking around. I enjoyed the factory tours and the clubs. My wife enjoyed the castle tours ...

Lee is just like any other manufacturer. They don't produce a quality die each and every time. There will be the occasional defective die. I had a 45 Colt Lee sizing die that was doing WAY too much sizing. Sent it back and got one that worked perfect. After investigating what Fred has told you, if y...

On SIUS or Polytronic targets, the paper moves a fixed amount with every shot. this allows you to plot not only the x axis, but the y as well. It takes a little simple math, but it is easily done. In fact, getting a certification from ISSF as being qualified in Electronic Target Control requires pas...

Jack, I think the problem with Mayton is when a shot value is disputed. I'm pretty sure that this is why these targets are not even allowed for the qualification part of the match. Basically, you are shooting through a light curtain. You can't retrace the path of the bullet through space without som...

I saw their display at the Munich World Cup this last spring. It is an interesting concept. However, I don't know if it is ISSF approved for use at a World Cup event. The Chief of the Pistol Jury was from Norway. He told me that they had looked into the Mayton targets but I don't think they bought t...

Warren,
What an ordeal for both of you. Glad to hear that she has a brighter future.

Our prayers are certainly with both of you.

Mony, I don't get it. Were all those other attacks on Lloyd an attempt to get to what you just now asked?? You must be from somewhere that English is not your native tongue. All I got from your previous posts was an overall sense of disrespect and sarcasm. But now that you ask 'politely' I don't kno...

Mony, All I can tell you is that this stuff you have referenced is a very basic tutorial for someone who has never picked up a shotgun. Certainly not the kind of coaching that the athletes get who have won so many medals over the past few years. I think before you call the man a joke, you should fin...

Mony, I have no idea who you are, but I can't imagine where you got the opinion that Woodhouse is a joke. The United States Olympic Committee folks evidently don't think he is a joke as they named him coach of the year. He has produced more medal winners than any other coach in shooting in the US. H...

I'm all for the 1% thing. I just purchased a Walther LG200 from one of the folks on this site. Even though I am not the seller, I'm going to send a check tomorrow to USA Shooting for 1% of the purchase price and send along a note that it is because of Pilkington's site. Might as well get the ball ro...

I guess I just don't see what the problem is. From the things you have listed as issues, the only thing I can think of that is lacking is communication. USAS already has a grass-roots program for attracting junior pistol shooters. I have seen it in practice at the OTC shooting club. The information ...

Greg, Awards are normally handled as soon as the finals are finished and the stat office can compile the classification award winner information. Typically it happens within a half an hour after the finals, usually less. One thing about shooting in Georgia is that you never know what time the finals...

Bill Hilden was a class act and a hard act to follow. His care and consideration for the competitors at 10 meters over the years established a wonderful standard for the future. Bill (and his sweet wife, Norene) spent untold hours working matches at Chino, Wolf Creek and Ft Benning and the competito...

Doc, One question about your schedule. The men's air pistol and women's sport pistol are fired at the same time. I think in the past, the schedule has allowed for junior men to shoot with the women in the sport pistol event. The two schedules you have developed don't allow for any jr men's sport pis...
