Ernie (and Russ, indirectly)- Thanks for sharing that info. The topic of follow through does come up now and again on this forum, and even it's the same info in substance, but stated a little differently than what was said in another post, it's beneficial- hearing it phrased a different way might ve...

If this strategic secret which helps to bring Gold medal in US soul you will force me to share it too? :( So, can I assume by your statement that you aren't going to share whatever knowledge you might have on this forum because it might benefit a shooter from another country? If so, why are you her...

Hey Russ-Good to chat with you.Your advice for me was right on the money.I am presently practicing trigger release and follow through-for the reasons you discussed.Thanks for good advice.Ernie. Why the big secret- how about you or Russ share some of that information with the rest of us? Was Russ's ...

Fortitudo, indeed you guys have it much better than the Aussies. But other than the game shooting opportunities, in which you have us beaten by a long shot, we in the US still enjoy access to firearms that is virtually unrestricted. I need no license of ANY kind to own any kind of firearm except a ...

My wife said buy the best, and quit messing around.

My question? WHAT IS THE BEST?

Easy question- your wife is the best for such great support!

The big problem is that a terribly high proportion of shooters in this country don't like to face just how bad they really are. I've hung out on some of the same groups that Jose has, and he is understating the lameness of some of the excuses. I'm not sure how to cure this. We've tried being nice -...

Have the dates been set yet for the 2006 National Championships?

Thanks,

In the "center hold" thread Mike McDaniel posted a recommendation to try colored sights. Anyone have any recommendations on what to use to color the sights that would be removable should I find it doesn't work that well for me?

Thanks,
Ted

Rob.

Are you focusing on any particular aiming point when you do this, or just a general center-of-mass hold?

A lot of recommendations that I got were for skateboarding shoes. Found a pair of Vans at one of the discount shoe stores (Payless?) during a buy-one-get-one-half-off sale. Very comfortable shoes, and very stable.

well, I guess I was wrong.... Of our oly events, only the two 25m .22 events cannot be performed in UK under current rules, although few if any outside the UK have a free pistol that is long enough to be legal there.

The question had better be: has anyone out there NOT had any trouble with the MG2? The answer is probably NO. I would recommend you not make generalizations based on one gun. My MG2 works flawlessly with any ammo that I feed it, and the people I know with MG-2's have also experiences similar to min...

Does anyone know what happened to Ralf Schumann (appears to have malfunctioned out in his first half) or to the other German who was disqualified ? Was it Trigger weight or ammo not meeting specifications ? Was just looking over the results on the ISSF website, and they listed the reason for the DQ...

Vinniew-

You might want to also look at the suggestions from a similar request I posted back at the beginning of the year.

Alternatively, if PilkGuns is implying that some nations didn't perform up to expectation because they have more social activities to distract them, then that can't be contested, but why then use the word "freedom" (with all the current political baggage it carries)? I took his reference ...

If Western countries wish to feature in international events they will need to replace their supposed "freedoms" with a good dose of "hunger and desire". It seems that those follks disparaging the lack of US success in Olympic shooting need to look at their own home first. wer, ...

Steve-
Can you explain what you mean by this?

Thanks,

I've been wondering, given the diverse group on this list, how each person practices? Do you have a set practice routine that you follow? Do you have any specific drills or exercises that you work on? Dry-fire or live-fire? Or do you just try to squeeze the trigger as often as possible while focusin...

Ditto.

Also, BTW, I had no trouble accessing MatchGuns website this morning.
