Re: Felt recoil, light vs heavy projectile
To me it depends what your shooting. If your shooting a comp gun than the 130 gr 38 super with a presure almost twice that of the 45 works the best. It keeps muzzle flip down and the recoil is more stright back. Stock gun a lot of people were going with a 40, it is easier to make major power factor ...

Re: 38 super wad gun
I shot steel for years with a 38 super comp gun and even converted a revolver to it for faster reloads with moon clips. The shorter cartrage goes in and out quicker. I have set one up for bullseye but don't find myself using it. I like the 160 gr for 50 yards and I got a 125 gr to work pretty well a...

Re: Electronic or mechanical
Thanks for your replys. I changed the grip angles and that helped my NPA. I don't shoot that much anymore do to elbow problems. Dry firing doesn't work for me as much as shooting at a blank target. The reason I started this is because I was thinking of going back to a mechanical trigger but at this ...

Re: Keeping Calm
I would like to share something with you that worked for me. I have taken the time to look several mental management programs and what it comes down to for me is to stay in the moment. I don't know if anybody has mention this but to me it is the most importian thing you can do when shooting a shot i...

52
Bought my 2nd 52 for International matches, sold my 1st one years ago and reminbered why when I bought the 2nd. If you have a meaty (large) hand your little finger hanges off the bottom and it is hard to get a good placement on the trigger. You can't beat the 1911, and if you play around with it, it...

Victor
The High Standards must have been ahead of their times. Now have the barrel milled to accept the scope rings. No need for a rail and the scope sits lower, worked good on my Victor.

If you think it is so easy try it. Years ago I did that and steel plates. I could run a rack of 6 plates in 2.5 sec and when I shot against the run and gun guys I might have been middle of the pack. I was shooting Bullseye at the same time in the 850s and never had to think about trigger control. We...

Chechering
You folks talked abour the slabs with agressive checkering to me it is more importian to have the front of the frame and the main spring checkered. It also works well with all weather conditions.

Grips
I have 2 large zip lock bags full of custom grips and I use the plain standard ones that came with the gun some twenty years ago. Save your money and dryfire.

Ball Gun
How long does it take to change a spring for liter loads and a 4 pound trigger is more a problem in your head than your finger. A clean trigger is more importian than the weight.

Trigger
Tendonitis is not the issue sence I started shooting the Morini. The issue is I don't seem to be able to shoot it as well as the IZH and I have been shooting it for years. My question is the trigger and if others find they perfer a clean breaking mechanical over the electronic.

The feel
When I started air pistol the local talent were shooting in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. To try and catch up to them I was shooting 20 to 25000 a year. I think that is where the tendonitus came in. What I'm getting at is if you think the mind learns a mechanical trigger better or do you just learn to know...

Electronic or mechanical
Witch trigger do you like. I shot one of those IZH 46 for years and did OK with it only pumping every shot gave me a bad chase of tendonitus. I got a Morini 162E and I can't get back to where I was with the pump job and it been years now. Do we develop a better feel for mechanical triggers?

Lite or Cost
Years ago I shot the same load at both and then I changed and went lighter thinking less recoil. Now I am thinking any recoil you still have to get back on target. It not a cost thing to me because I cast although I can see why other don't want to spend the money (JHP). I shoot a 155 head with 3.5 o...

Recoil
It seems to me that everyone is testing with the pistol in a vice. This is fine if you have a vice like hold but we don't. Recoil starts when the pellet receives its' supply of compressed air, not when it leaves the barrell. If you think in thease terms it only makes sence to use lighter pellets to ...

I was just wondering if anyone heard anything, I've ran into this before with WIN 540. I'm sure other powders out there work just as well and we like to stick to what works for us but sometimes we can't. Reason I mensioned Tite Group was that it is available in my area. Anyone used it with real lite...
