Even I as a newbie who hasn't fire a single pellet from the gun he just bought can see the risk of injury due to the position that you need to hold. And if they should change the format to elimination heats e.g.10 shooters, 10 shots (including decimals), first 2 come to the next round plus x of the ...

Thank you Bo and Rick for your replies !
I stocked up on books while on a trip in Germany and got both the Air Rifle Shooting 2010 and the Olympic Rifle shooting from Reinkemeier.
Rick, I responded to your PM.

Wanted - Air Rifle trainer in CT or Clinic CONUS

Hi, Having just bought my first air rifle I consider taking a trainer immediately to avoid getting into bad habits from the start. Because of my advanced age I won't be able to follow the methods normally used in youth development (I guess), mainly I won't be able to train during the week because of...

I had seen it on the MEC website and wanted to put it on my list of things to get when I'm in Germany... But I decided to get it now already so I have it for my flight :) 2 more available at Amazon now :)

How about lease/rent ? Don't any of the companies like SIUS and Meyton offer a sport service that would allow organizers to rent the set up (inlcuding install support and maintenance) for a 1 or 2 week period ? Is the set up for the World Cups owned by the ISSF and travels around the world like the ...

I don't know if this will help you but here is a link to a German message board talking about taking a Gehmann hand pump apart. Maybe the pictures will help and/or you could run it through Google Translate. I can also help to translate pieces but I need to warn you that I'm new to shooting and have ...

Just saw over on a German board that MEC has come out with an app. http://itunes.apple.com/en/app/mec-shot/id552173803?mt=8 Price is $24.99 Have not tested it myself, and there are no comments on the English iTunes store. But there are 3 on the German side and they seem very excited about it, except...

I know, and I think it's cool. Having done youth training before (fire department though) I'm always excited to see these developments.

I dunno - did we get any upturn in interest after "Sniper" or "Shooter" or "Shoot 'em Up" came out? Might have to ask the recruiting offices... I think Top Gun had an impact for the Navy. G.I. Jane might have had one for the Seals... At least Sniper had the connection ...

For several years the only shooting I watched on TV was the Biathlon. The falling of the targets made it very easy to follow. Only with the electronic targets for the non-winter events I started having a similar ‘being there’ experience. Before it was like watching chess or paint dry... Beach volley...

I read through the pdf and can’t see that a jacket is mandatory… or am I wrong ? But if you choose to wear one, they need to follow certain rules and I think the change to current models is that NO pockets are allowed any longer (did anyone get caught putting lead weights in ?). So I guess that also...

I haven't held a Smallbore or a competition AR in about 15 years, so I can't really talk about the posture... but trying to mimic the position standing in front of the mirror (without jacket) I feel a little like trying olympic walking... pushing the body in positions he usually doesn't go. Also, ju...

Hi guys, I realize that this thread is almost a year resting. Just wanted to see if Dadude was able to find a club in CT. I'm in the same situation, want to start out with serious Air rifle shooting but can't seem to find anyone locally that I could shadow. We don't even have stores in our area that...
