Hi Robin, there is one 'dirty' secret, if it comes to ISSF rifle rules. The real native language is Bavarian, not German. And the first trouble begins often, if they try to translate that to the German language. Translating the German then to English is the more easy part. ;-) By the way, this ever ...

Hi all, there is a difference between the the German versions of the last ISSF rule books and the English versions and our German DSB rule book follows the German version of the ISSF rule book. 7.4.7.3 ISSF Rule Book 2009 No other zipper or other closing or tightening device is permitted other than ...

No!

You can easily damage the chamber and your firing pin can also break.

Rule 7.5.4.2 says ... with a tension of 6.0 kg to 8.0 kg, not Newton. Also sloppy if it comes to physical units, but on the other hand more understandable for most people. But this rule is also a proof for only allowing buttons and button holes. If you have a zipper in front of your jacket then meas...

Hihi,

now we have a 3:3 for the All England team against the world team selection from New Zealand, Poland and Germany.

Maybe our friend conradin should explain the rules. I'm sure, he knows it better. ;-)

Hi all, the first sentence with the zipper is a little sloppy. A zipper is only allowed at the right shoulder of a right hand shooter. For closing the front of the jacket only 5 buttons and holes are allowed. The following rule explains this. Rule 7.5.4.3 ISSF Rule Book 2013 First Print All straps, ...

You use a FWB Super Match for air rifle training? The Model 2000? Now it seams to me i understand some of your trouble with building the right standing position. Have you the necessary hand support for the standing position? Do you use the hook of your butt plate? Al this makes the first steps for b...

Not sure whether some nations use such targets for some of their local matches and competitions. If it comes to ISSF air rifle shooting the target has to be ever at the same position and height. If you use this targets you have to change your standing position for every shoot. This may be a good tra...

Hi Conradin, first, an older FWB air rifle with 6.5kg is not normal. All these rifles came out of the shop with a weight below 5.0kg, because this was the old weight limit for air rifles in competition. Now this limit is 5.5kg. So someone has put there much additional weight in the stock or system. ...

300m is so much fun. I would prefer a Grünig & Elmiger, a Bleiker or a Keppeler and for the more old school guys and girls maybe a Tanner, but not in .223. At this days a 6mm Norma BR or so will give you on this distance some advantages. Here you can see some fine pictures about 300m target shoo...

Guys... just dry fire the gun. I have thousands of rounds dry fired steel on steel and there isn't any deformation of the barrel and my firing pin has never broke. The gun itself has 60,000ish rounds through it. Also the snap caps are for reloading only. Sorry Dan, but this is not a good recommenda...

T I'm thinking I need to bring the rear sight back closer to my eye tonight and dry fire. I have it pretty far forward to keep the front sight centered in the rear. Hi, as you say, you have not only to center the front sight on the target, you have also to center the front sight tunnel in the rear ...

Hi Conradin, there is no one real size for the front sight insert for all of us because we all see different. Our seeing is always also a kind of our perception or cognition. And it depends also from the sharpness of our vision. It depends also from the contrast of the target. But there are some rul...

Hi brent375hh, there must be a reason for loosing the front sight base. Maybe the recoilless system at your FWB 300 doesn't work anymore correct after that long time. So it may a good idea to take a closer look at the slide bearings of that recoilless system. There can dirt in and the lubrication ca...

Hi, as i remember right, there were three slightly different front sights on the FWB 300. The front sight base on all of them was clamped with a cotter key or a taper pin on the barrel. If there is no bigger sign of wear you can tighten the base with a pin punch. Maybe the yet found picture can help...

... and this rifle also taken from the ECH 2013 looks also like a Tanner Model 98.

For all the Tanner fans out here: The following picture shows a Norwegian shooting lady, who uses a Tanner 300m Standard Rifle Model 98 at the current European champion chip 2013 in Osijek, Croatia. Not sure about the ammo, but it seems to me she uses 6mmBR or something like that as most of the 300m...

Hi David, i did not wrote about any magical thing with the rings and numbers. I explained the (my) problem with this new decimal scoring over the hole match especially in a small bore prone match in greater detail in the third posting of the following thread. http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?...

Dear shooting friends, at this time all German producers give only a validity time of 10 years for their air cylinders. Steel cylinders can retested after this time, but not so the aluminum cylinders. Here in Germany shooters are not allowed to use cylinders behind her validity date in any competiti...
