Picked up my first air pistol yesterday (fwb p44) showed up to my first match today and got some air. After sighting in... shot a 502 in the match . Gotta play with grip angles...had to fight the gun(front sight was always really low) a lot to keep the sights level.
Also gotta play with trigger position and travel. All in all was a good time and glad I purchased one. Shot more 7s than 10s but gotta get the hang of this thing

Re: First AP match
That sounds pretty good! First air pistol, first match one day later and you shot 502??? From where I stand, that's pretty darn good.Christopher Miceli wrote:Picked up my first air pistol yesterday (fwb p44) showed up to my first match today and got some air.

You say it's your first air pistol... surely you have other pistol experience? Either that or you're a natural.

Congratulations! I'm sure your AP and BE scores will continue to improve.
Re: First AP match
Christopher, if you would like some additional "match oractice", have a look at the 10 Meter Pistol Competition League on Facebook. I administer this year long competition and we have a nice internnational group of shooters. They range young to old ( or ancient), male or Female, befinner to advanced. All are welcome. Let me know if there are any questions that I can answer, and one of the neat parts is the competition is free.

Re: First AP match
fired another match the day after my first match, was a 40 shot finished out with 348/400.
Re: First AP match
First match since picking AP back up in December, 532. Of the three 20 shot targets, I finally relaxed on the last one and was making good trigger breaks. Definitely a big change from home.
