my own biased opinion.... shoot the air pistol to shoot the air pistol, use a true 10m target and 10m and pretend you're in the olympics and shoot every shot like you mean it. enter an air pistol match from time to time... That cross training will make you better at Bullseye When you are training fo...

younger folks can see distance (perhaps with correction) AND bring their focus in close enough to see the front sight or read a book or even closer, as we get older our ability to bring the focus in close degrades, our arms get too short, we need reading glasses to bring the focus in closer.

its good that you don't want a CO2 they are no longer made or widely used, CO2 is obsolete, but there are used ones available from time to time. I would recommend a Morini CM162 or Steyr LP10 i would assert that if you are serious enough to want a coach you are serious enough to get a proper pistol....

Yeah, I also think that Matt Emmons is Arrogant and pompous. ...... ask yourself, who was the American that won us a gold medal in shooting in Beijing? Gold?: the 2 shotgun dudes, Walton Eller was one, I have his picture on my calender here at work, I don't remember the other guy's name since I'm n...

a few companies make 5-shot air pistols you can use a single shot for olympic style air pistol or for training for slow fire stages, you could train with a time limit on that one shot, and of course anything that helps you learn position, sight alignment, trigger control and follow thru will help ot...

get on the champions choice or neil johnson website and look at prices. with the euro going nuts over the last 2 years prices have jumped a huge amount but..... pick out what you want, buy the very best if that's what you want, I hate to suggest this but sell some other guns (I sold 2 garands, a mau...

plan on making a few trips up here to phoenix, we'll be shooting a PTO every month at Phoenix Rod & Gun Club, http://www.phoenixrodandgun.org/ all 5 pistol events and air rifle, heck the form has all the events on it so we could conceivable enter anything. We have several former, current and wan...

Then you need to wait from 3 months up to one year.

sounds like New York

one of our "more senior" shooters recommends that the front post width be no narrower than you are years of age.

this exact subject is being discussed on the Arizona forum http://www.arizonashooting.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=43690 I recommend the Rock River NM A2 1/2x1/2 as the best out of the box for service rifle shooting. Our state association has several. target talk is more of an olympic-specialty forum,...

DO NOT BRING AN AIRGUN WITH YOU!!!!!!!!! its classified as a firearm over there I don't think they even allow air soft they have the best olympic team, they are Eley's biggest customer and probably Steyr too, they have teams in high schools and universities and gov't agencies all over the country, b...
