Most people egos can't cope with it. It also demands a lot of ammo, making it the more expensive of the 25m ISSF disciplines in th...

Re: Air Pistol and the 11 ring

The annoying thing is that the Xring, does not coincide with 10.5 (Correct me if I'm wrong).

I also approve of the beer idea!

Re: Pardini SP or SP1 Question?

I had one, it was a disaster. Never again, stick with the mechanical trigger and not have the hassles.

Bob
How does that compare to the price that the Walther SSP used to sell for? Here in NZ the SSP was about $1000 more than a Pardini. Hardly anyone bought them! How much is the Pardini in Aus?

Re: ISSF Rule 7.4.1.5 - Barrels

I have a silencer insert that fits inside the tube, not ISSF legal, but useful if you train in a noise sensitive location. It can be removed easily, also fouls up a bit and needs regular cleaning.

Re: Free pooters

I've tried CCI "Quiet" in my free pistol (and some bolt rifles). Not super accurate at 50m, but fun to shoot due to low noise and recoil.

Any athlete born between the 1st of January and the 31st December, will cease to be a Junior on the 31st December of that year.

Is it just me, or does this sentence make no sense at all, as it is totally redundant???
