Maybe someone has tried to get an active electronic damping system through equipment control What, someone strapped a gyro stabiliser to a pistol or a rifle? Because I'd find it hard to believe someone built a system that accurately and actively compensated for the vibration from firing a shot - th...

If we need an electronic tracking system to make the sport palatable to the masses, why wouldn't we just eliminate the actual projectile? Then we don't need any special venues. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Because in wind, you get to see people aiming off. Seriously, we've a...

If shooting was replaced in the Olympics, whether it be because of (a lack of) TV appeal, a perception from those outside of the sport of an over-reliance on equipment instead of athletic ability, or for any other reason, then how long do you think shooting would survive as a major international sp...

I read the blog piece there's not one change to the actual sport containing it, it's all about adding things at the periphery, scatts, twitter, facebook and commentating. I agree that some of those might be good they just aren't enough. It seems like many will not step outside and look at these eve...

Like it or not, the argument about fairness is wrong. If everyone is competing under the same rules its fair. That's an insufficient condition for fairness. If - to use an extreme example so the point is more clearly seen - .. What now we're going to resort to dumbass straw man arguments? I was und...

I don't agree. The format change creates two events out of one; the SFZ aspect is causing the finals and the qualification round to be completely distinct events. The two are different facets of the same problem. The SFZ is just the more immediately obviously nasty facet. Are you saying that even i...

This is wrong on two counts and both are important to note. Firstly, the archers did not understand it; FITA pushed them into their current format on the grounds of making it more televisable and more popular and what happened? Do you see archery on primetime anywhere in the world today where it wa...

Yes, media coverage could have been better. I think that, certainly at the Olympics, a big part of the problem is that the final is the only televisable part of a shooting competition. I think you have used the wrong word there. The finals are not the only televisable part of a shooting competition...

My friend, The New reality is that: if someone in his 60’s accomplished only 8 hours class with me and able to climb up to the level of 570 AP (Practice score) in 2,5 months is not a miracle, but just new set of knowledge . His example not a single thing, I have other guys from this forum that made...
