Are there some kind of matches for rapid air pistol (for my Fwb C55)?

Aaahh, that map really bring some memorys back! Also the names Cheylesmore and Gallery sounds familiar. Those wind-back targets were exotic to me, I had never seen such before. After that I have seen some similar in Germany but never in Sweden.

Would be nice to see the place again!

BR, Pär

I train (air) at 10M and my turning target only has second intervals. I practice the first shot release in the 4 sec string as 1 sec facing. This is OK for me but I suspect I may take a fraction longer in the actual series. Since I only shoot air I don't know how much recoil would make things worse...

BTW, Its 13 years since I was at Bisley for the Nordic Champs, is the range complex still as big and impressive, or is it partly abandond since your strict handgun laws come? Some pretty big changes since those Nordics (which were the last ones I shot in). You may remember that to the left hand sid...

[ My 8 sec string starts with approximately 2.5 secs on the first target, on the 6 sec string it's more like 1.6 - 1.8. On the 4 sec string it drops to about 1 sec. If we are measuring time the same way, then you are lightning fast.... :-) I think the most used way is to start the timing device whe...

I have seen the (partly) bent torso techique at some competions i Europe used with succes. However, I think that it is a difficult technique to master because I thinkt it os difficult to only have the bending movement. Very easily you will also have a small rotatring movement in the torso which resu...

. The only point I'm trying to make is that a gun adjusted to shoot heavy and light pellets at the same speed will have approx 12% less felt movement/recoil with the lights. I'm not saying anything about accuracy. Anyone agree? or are we not trying to look for any more technical advances, eg portin...

Does the Scatt trigger the same way as the Noptel, via vibration sensing? If so, the slow "locking" (incl time for the priming powder to burn into the chamber) will not be represented correctly. Time from discharge to ignition of main powder for a flintlock is probably a couple of tenth o...

And I use mine for flintlock pistol too. Thanks Kent, I now have coffee all over my keyboard ;-) Out of interest, does the lock mechanism operating have much affect on the trace speed and direction. :-)) Does the Scatt trigger the same way as the Noptel, via vibration sensing? If so, the slow "...

If aim under the black cicle is used, then the point of impact will be rather sensitive to differences in the amount of tilt of the pistol around the axle of the arm. If aim in the centre, it is much less sensitive. I also thinkt that the gain of less arm movement the using the low aim is almost onl...

And the 20-shot Finals

Have I missed a recent rule change for finals? Or are you refering to an old final procedure? Wasnt it 30 shots? Semifinals and finals?

Actually, I think the falling plate approach was a better idea all the way around. Classical RF takes a relatively long time to score, while the falling plate system makes scoring very quick. More audience appeal, too. From a perspective of spectators and intrest from media a fully agree. It is pro...

Anders,

why so secret? Isn't Ronny you spoke to? If I know him correctly, he wouldn't mind if url to his homepage and other contact info were posted here.

There are several "home grown" events araound but none are sanctioned by the ISSF. At The British Pistol Club we use the following:- 60 competition shots fired in two half courses with each half course as follows:- 1 sighting series in 10 seconds 2 series in 10 seconds 2 series in 8 secon...
