At AUS$10 for a tin of r-10 or equivalent, why even bother using cheaper pellets?

One way to catch leaks in the cylinder is to put a balloon over the cylinder at both ends and see if they inflate over time. If they dont, the problem is in your pistol. If they blow up the balloons, the seals in the cylinder need replacing. Condoms work too if you dont have any balloons. LOL! or y...

Medals can be lucrative for some countries.

Michael Diamond (Aust trap shooter) was offered something along the lines of $1Mil to shoot for Greece at the Athens games.

Adam Vella (trap again) was offered something similar (apparently) by Malta too.

Depends where Stephen comes from. If in Australia, they must be stored in a safe.

Oh, and for what its worth, I'm rapt my parents immigrated from Malta to Australia than the USA (we've got relo's all over the world) I'm glad we both...

Yeah, but you can't have open slather, because, shock horror - not everyone is responsible.

You've convinced me Pradeep. I'll make sure my 3YO packs a pistol, some butterfly knifes and a machete when he next goes to Kindergarten. I never realised there were sooo many homicidal maniacs out there! Up until 9 months or so ago, I never so much as held a pistol before, and you know what, I've n...

Well, I'm on Pips side of the fence on this... even though its a right royal pain in the behind to get a licence/Pistol here in Australia, I don't mind it one bit.

Thanks Denis.... I might get someone from the club to look at my LP-10, as there is definately a drop off of pressure when the sear is released.

Steve, I was indoctrinated in the ZERO creep, breaks like a glass rod thinking from years of reading the various gun mags. Then after picking up AP, I talked with Warren...now I'm shooting my AP with a rolling trigger (aka creep) and I like it. Funny how things change. I also have a tendency to thr...

I have a problem of jerking the trigger. Is there a 1st/2nd stage split that is ideal in order to help remove this problem? Are there any training drills that are of particular benefit to this problem?
