Back when the U.S. NRA actually published research on shooting, they produced the following book: Landers, Daniel M. (ed), and Hunt, Karen J. (ed), Shooting Sports Research, Education and Training Division, NRA, 1988. The book has not been available from the NRA in some years, and no follow-on volum...

This response is a little on target, and a little off target. The following is a list of books I have collected, or which have been recommended to me, over the years. Some are on high power shooting, some on international shooting, some on pistol shooting, some on the history of the shooting sports,...

You want the younger Dr. Tolar. Just tell the receptionist that you're a shooter when you make the appointment. Just being able to see "20/20" isn't good enough. Thirty-five years ago, I was shooting international smallbore, and was in a plateau. The Anschutz 1413 seemed to be working all ...

Go see Dr. Tolar. He's double Distinguished, President's Hundred, has shot on a winning National Trophy pistol team, is captain of the U.S. Army Reserve Pistol Team, etc, etc, in addition to being an eye doctor. He has more than a clue about the eye care that a shooter needs to be competitive. I've ...

Traveling outside the U.S. has gotten very strange post 9/11, particularly traveling with anything that is or looks like a firearm. Air pistols are not considered firearms under the National Firearms Act, the 1968 Gun Control Act, or other Federal legislation. Neither were my three muzzle loading pi...

DO NOT attempt to fly outside the U.S. with the LP10 without having the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency fill out a copy of Department of Homeland Security Form CBP 4457, Certificate of Registration for Personal Effects Taken Abroad. The form asks for your name, address, and a description o...

If your objective is the Distinguished Pistol Shot badge and President's Hundred Tab, shoot nothing but slab-sided gun and iron sights until you get there. I got both with a sharpshooter card. Stay focused on your goal, and accept that you will be beaten at most matches by people using red dot sight...

Google "Custom Sight Picture" and look at Dr. Allan Toler's web site. He's double Distinguished, President's Hundred, High Master, and the head of the U.S. Army Reserve Pistol Team in addtion to being an eye doctor. So, he has a clue from both sides of the issue. I've used him and his test...

jipe said that he had read in seveal places that Umarex had decided to stop production of the AP40. When I went out on the web, It couldn't find anything in English on this, but http://letirsportif.free.fr had a comment in their review (Essais) section on the AP40. Assuming that my translation is co...

Richard: I used the Contact Form on the official Walther web page -- www.carl-walther/de2 . I realize that Walther is a big company. They point that out in the format of the Contact Form. They also promise to get your question to the appropriate person, and promise to respond as quickly as possible....

I want to emphasize that in the following diatribe I have no problem with Larry or the staff at Larry’s Guns, Gary, Maine. They have tried to be helpful. I purchased a new Hammerli 480K from Larry at Camp Perry in July 2001. I shot the pistol quite successfully until the spring of 2004 when the seal...

The match .45 ACP load developed by the U.S. Marine Corps Weapons Training Battalion, Quantico, VA, is: Brass: WW Primer: WW WLP Bullet: Nosler 185 gr. HP Powder: VV N-310 (4 grs.) I load mine progressively on a Dillon 550B, using Dillon carbide dies. The Nosler bullet punches very small holes [look...

I have several more substitutions for TOZ-35 spare parts. I recently purchased one of the TOZ-35Ms being sold by CDNN. The pistol was advertised as "excellent to new" in the TOZ wooden box. Less the spare parts and cleaning equipment that originally shipped with the pistols, that is what I...

The Soviets approached sport from a very scientific standpoint. Early into their entry into international shooting competition after World War II, they conducted a series of vision experiments using their national and world class shooters. They found that for a majority of the people they tested a l...
