Re: Can I live fire on Scatt WS01

Thank you. That was useful to know. I also intend to use it similarly and hoping the trace will tell me things I might not know.

Re: Can I live fire on Scatt WS01

I have very rarely used an electronic trainer before. Now I am trying to incorporate it in my training. As you have used Scatt before, Do you think it has been useful as a stand alone tool i.e. your dry firing on Scatt over time has been helpful in recognising and fixing issues that has helped with ...

Can I live fire on Scatt WS01

I have never seen the non wire version of Scatt WS01. I am curious to know can I live fire on it with an air pistol. If I am careful to not shoot the IR receivers on the frame. If someone usually shoots inside the black can he take a chance to do so for few shots. Is there anything behind the target...

The shot should flow in a sequence, anytime the sequence is interrupted, paused, stopped or if you start thinking listen to the little man Thats true, But may be beacase of my inexperice, few shots takes trigger delay, It doesnt break as soon as expected. Then I used to try to make the shot with ef...

As most have mentioned she will struggle to get the grip very small in case of electronic triggers. So you need to rethink on the gun. Steyr lp10 i think has a metal rod through the grip to hold it in place and hence you could take off a lot of wood with that type of grip. Another thought would be t...

I have +/- the same problem: medium to large hand with but short fingers. Adapting grips has cost me a lot of money. I had some success with the Rink grips. But recently I went to Asslar myself, what I should have done from the beginning(!), and met the 'master' in person. He has done a very good j...

I think the rule wanted to mean something like this product from mannel... But their ambiguity in defining it has opened it up for a wider interpretation

To update.. I tried with a +1.00 I could find in a department store along with a blue filter as well. Both of these helped... the +1 was definitely helpful in helping me focuss more on the front sight and the blue filter cut the dim glare and made the sights more blacker and crispier. thanks for all...

Thanks for that tip. It does help closing the iris but I was thinking some colour filter would make it less strainous on my eye as it has to focus very hard with the iris trick. I used a polarised glass (that helped a little bit). Any other suggestion please. I have also used the yellow night drivin...

blurry sights

Hi All, I am currently shooting at a temporary range where the lighting is not well arranged. There is a strong white light just behind the shooters and then a dark alley in front and another strong spot light on the target. When I look a at my pistol sights, it looks as if I am staring at dim headl...

It always seems to make sense to have a metre or so in front of the firing point in something other than grass. No matter how careful you are, if you were to drop and lose a live round it could make a nice mess of your lawn mower. Good point. I would hate to think what would happen, if your mower b...

any match pistol barrel should be treated with delicate care. at my club we used to clean the barrel with a cloth on a nylon wire pulled through the barrel. we used to put a few drops of any good gun oil followed by a few more quick pulls to clean excess oil. you dont need to oil too much unless you...

I just use a good size cardboard box, currently using a box my toaster came un. I fill the inside with as many yellow pages books i have, an old tshirt in the spac still left to also reduce the noise. Tape the target in front of box and shoot.

Great replies. Ben, that youtube video was amazing. I had heard about the gasses moving faster inside the barrel like Roger mentioned. That video shows it so clearly.

I am always curious when people say the bullet is long gone before the flip. But that contradicts physics which says equal and opp action. and so the flipping woudl start happening as soon as the bullet is ignited in the chamber. It could be another case in AP as the recoil in AP is much less combin...
