The question

LeeU, Perhaps you asked the wrong people about their sight picture, when you asked for response from the "premire shooters". I am not one of them, but I have asked the same question of a person that I respect as a shooter. No one that succesuflly uses a deep sub six will, or can tell you e...

Before I knew

Before I knew that a defibrilator was not a machine to detect fibs, and that nitro was not just used as an explosive, I would have lusted for such an offering. Reckon these ought to be marketed to aspiring cardiologist. Guys just starting their practice could give these away, and ultimately have mor...

You might

You could get some of th eEdleman 5 bull 10 m rifle targets, and some cheap glue, like kids use in school. Then just glue the 5 bull Edleman target to one of the Edleman 10 m pistol targets. Takes seconds and glue is cheap, and targets cut clean.

respectfully,
Bubba

Ja ever wonder

I have a Morini CM 162 EI. It has a feature on it that would be great on a ?CO-2 pistol. The devise that keeps you from shooting when the charge is low. I wonder why this feature was never used on a CO-2 pistol. The issue of a low charge on a CO-2 gun can be eliminated by counting shots, and I know ...

Stress relief

funmat, I too have used and still do use the shooting as a means of stress relief. While you probably cant do this at work, I have a suggestion that might further aid in stress relief and improve shooting skills. First you get one of those plastic 2 liter bottles that soft drinks come in. I then fil...

Drawing the line

The line will be drawn when some technolocical alteration appears that gives the user such a clear advantage, not by speculation, but by actual performance, that the competitors who do nou take advantage of that technology can no longet be competitive.

A little different point of view

I have a Morini CM 162 EI. I am not a world class shooter, but I keep records to shot where I am. I cannot find any real advantage to the electronic trigger. I have not found any disadvantage. The non adjustable grips are perhaps a good thing, as I try to improve. I cannot fault and then change the ...

It's magic

Here at the Southern Test Facility, we had the same questions regarding why we were addictided to the shooting of 10 m style air psitols and rifles. After exhaustive testing, we haved found that there are two reasons. 1. We like humiliation. We need to be humbled once in a while, cause we think we a...

My November High Noon Scores

Finally got a break and shot and reported my scores. With the holiday and a bunch of physical things going on, time was hard to find. Once again I have filled in the lower ranks of the AP-60 Ap-40 and Air Rifle 30 REQ. But that's OK, there is some fine competition and good folks shooting a little lo...

Semi auto pellet pistols

Gentlemen, Someone asked about the B-96. I had three, I think. Bought one frrom a local dealer. Had frequent malfunctions (hencforth referred to as malfs). Was advised by Boris Plessenger, the importer to send it back to him. I did so. Upon the pistols return to me I got about two clips through it b...

It may not make any difference

I am not a pro, but I shoot a lot. I have been experimenting with sight picture. I have used sub six, six, and center hold. What I am seeing is that if you cannot hold the sight picture during the shot, it makes no difference. I have a 5 mm front sight on a Morini and it is wide enough that I have n...

Warren is right

I have owned an Aeron B-96 CO2 semi auto, and an LP-5. The quality of the LP-5 is most notable in the reliability and finely machined and fitted parts made of a material of suitable hardness. Much more substantial pistol than the B-96. Both the B-96 and the LP-5 were very accurate, and had good trig...

You state that you are a collector and a shooter. You gotta be wondering how it shoots. I think that it is kinda like consumating a marriage. Would you marry say Sharon Stone and not use all that she comes with. Only an example and no disrespect to anyone. Since these pistols were made in such small...
