Re: Which Air Rifle to choose?
FWB load method for myself is to hold the pellet sideways with the fore finger and thumb and insert the pellet in this manner. I am a right-handed standing shooter and use my left hand to cock and the load pellet. I believe this method would work well using my right hand. Will try it tonight. IMO, t...

Flow State
The term "Flow State" has come to my attention. A very large and interesting amount of information is available about this subject, lots on youtoob. Back when I was in my twenties, after a year or two of dedicated practice, I discovered this relaxed state of mind, and could enter it in an ...

Re: What to do with old precision air/CO2 rifles
Definitely good air rifles. Back in 1989, could shoot Standing 99 using a FWB 601 SSP, we all had them, we all shot them, as they were cutting edge at the time. Same goes for the others that you mention. In this present day, it is not hard to find a used CO2 tank, possibly buy it already filled, or ...

Re: Right handed/left eye dominant shooting advice?
IMO, Good eye sight is not the decision maker. I have good eye sight, but do have floaters that sometimes go by in the sight picture, I sometimes deal with it, all fuzzy and sorts, take the shot, and still get a 10. All depends on what level any one is at. IMO All is fine as long as you have good al...

Re: what's the shortest distance to practice?
If you are only dry firing, you can add distance by looking at the target via a mirror.
Example using a 50 foot target, place target 30 feet from mirror, then stand 20 feet from said mirror
and aim at reflection in mirror, combined distance equals 30 feet plus 20 feet= 50 feet.

Re: Standing and Kneeling position questions as a sporter
Good questions, 1) As a beginner, you need to get accustomed to your own breathing methods, gentle slow relaxing breaths. Do as many as 8 to 10 , maybe 12 at first start of target, as you get a few shots off, you may reduce the number as you get into the swing of things. But IMO, as a beginner, to d...

Re: How do you stop beginners from obsessing over the sub 6 hold?
1) Have them shoot at a blank white 8 1/2 x 11" piece of paper, and tell them to simply shoot for the middle. This will be easy and relaxed, then look at the group sizes. Another spin on this method, to try after the first method has been thoroughly practiced, is draw a small black sharpie circ...

Re: Olympic rifle overview- Video for beginners/educating public
Watched entire video, very good informative video for new want to be rifle shooters.
I would add that there are a lot more lower cost ways to get involved/exposed/introduced to 3 position rifle shooting than he states.

Re: Changing risers on FWB 800X…?
Not completely sure what damage has been done, 1) hex has been stripped out, 2) threads have been stripped out. So you need to get everything removed and apart. Dremel cut wheels/cut bits, work well with skill. Cut a slot in hex for removal. Small drive pin with hammer for screw removal of stripped ...

Hi RB, Thank you, and I completely agree with and understand your points. Long history of Standing of air rifle for myself, dating back to FWB 601 in 1988. And I too once did not shoot air rifle, thinking if I am driving to a range, I am shooting the 22 smallbore. But air rifle is a whole different ...

Very easy and affordable, Rubber chip mulch, (shredded auto tires), at Walmart off season price approx $3/bag. Fill a carboard box with this. Or fill a cardboard box with many layers of cardboard. Both these method are very quiet, as the pellet is not hitting a steel plate. With minimalized pellet d...

Re: Breaking in a new jacket and pants kit.
Stiffness is a big topic of discussion, there was a rule change a few years ago that increased the possible thickness by close to a factor of 2. The original thickness is still available, but now x2 thickness is available. Also if your interested, look at the procedure for material thickness test. C...
