Dear Alex, The Victorian Institute of Sport did a lot of research with "ice vest" for athletes, including shooting, prior o the Athens Olympics - thus they would have details of the advantages or disadvantages. There is no problems as to ISSF Rules. Many shooters shoot at those temperature...

Dear David, Usually I agree with most of your statements but I find that with the wrist remaining immobile the front sight will, apparantly, disappear downwards on lifting the firearm. Lowering the front sight will appear to raise - unless my geometry is totally incorrect. Hoping that you will revis...

Rally_Pro,

Draft rules for 2009 as presented at the ISSF Gen Assembly in Beijing at WC for approval, included at 8.11.0 25m Centre Fire pistol pull 1000gm min. The Draft Rules were accepted so any National representative would have reported to their Federtion those changes of interest. Give your representative...

Dear Stan and Steve, The difficulty of the new (since Jan 2005) ISSF Rules on Rapid Fire pistol seem the be reflected in the amount of MQS results attained by the World's shooters: pre Athens (old rules) Jan 2004 - 135 MQS scores attained pre Beijing (new rules) Jan 2008 - 80 MQS scores attained It ...

Dear Aguest, Rules for post 2008 have been approved by the ISSF General Assembly at their meeting in Beijing during the ISSF "Good Luck Beijing" WC recently - get in touch with the delegate from your Federation if he was not sleeping he will be able to tell you of all or any cahnges to tak...

Dear Edster99, Whilst agreeing with David may I add slightly more. Most shooting athletes manage to get this pattern when they decide to check their location on the target. They look towards the target but, oviously, cannot see it as the sights are in the line of sight so they lower the firearm, eve...

Dear Bang Bang, supporting Steve Swartz. If your "time in the sweet spot" equates to the 9.5 ring or better your hold is definitely not a problem. Your hold could be considered to be equal to or better than most shooting athletes outside the top twenty or so at World Cup competitions. Chee...

Dear David, Greetings. With a little judicious use of the mouse the actual shot position and the shown shot position should be within plus or minus about two tenths of the correct value using the Scatt system at 10M and approximately double that st 50M. Yes, I am aware that that may not sound mathem...

Hi Ed, Just my ideas - always open to suggestions 1. Match preparation starts a. with the preparation period. b. when you get up on the day of the match. c. on the evening prior to the match. d. during the training sessions before a match. d. 2. 2. The hold for the perfect shot a. has to sit station...

Dear, Tycho, Fred and K5Tangos, With regard to the Pardini and Electronic Trigger - just some thoughts. The "doubling" or multiple shots from the SP1, in my case have not been pardini or operator error. Just a lack of adjustment and cleanliness. Exactly as Pardini say when the adjustment a...

My 2 cents worth! Nicole - The Carbide lighter you speak of is the Cadillac of lighters and sight blackeners. Steve - The Birchwood Casey “touch up” would be next. GaryBF The Candle is the easiest to purchase, carry and have available, great. An “oldie” like myself have tried the lot and found them ...

Dear jer, The Russian made IZH35M has been used successfully by some Aus shooters for in excess of 15 years for ISSF competitions. These firearms arrived in the country after the WCH's in Moscow in 1990 and have been used ever since. Some having changed hands on numerous occasions. I wish you every ...
