It's worth the laughs you get after it happens. My close friend was shooting to the right of me at Camp Perry and we were at the 25yd Slow & Rapid Fire Line---it was the centre fire match and I was using my Pardini HP---now that puppy throughs brass perpendicular to the gun and he was bathed in ...

Go right ahead and shoot them and don't get paranoid about what if??? Go ahead and shoot and worry about something when it happens---it's not the end of the world---you get it fixed.

On a milligram balance the weight of a tin of pellets will fit into the standard deviation bell curve, with the greatest number fitting within one to two standard deviations from the mean. With the milligram balance with a sensitivity of 0.0001mg plus or minus---you know what that amounts to on a gr...

What is the purpose of "processing" pellets---gents this is not Bench Rest shooting---what good does weighing (massing) the pellets on a micro balance---by the time you have massed 1000 pellets what have you achieved??? Look at the dispersion of weights and that's why there is no statistic...

Personally, I do not think I could see myself owning two of each---(1) the expense; (2) I find that the feel of each of these special guns becomes so personal, I do not think I could easily adapt to a "back-up" even if they were the same identical gun. I have shot a friend's TOZ &/or H...

I would highly recomend the Pardini---however the word is that the new model SP has some sight problems which the factory is going to do some R&D. If you can get an older model Pardini SP---it should have no issues whatsoever. The GSP is no longer available as a new gun but probably worthwhile s...

Generally speaking the longer the sight radius, the less forgiving the gun. When I shoot with a TOZ and then switch to a Hammerli 160---the difference becomes very apparent, at least to me. I use the Morini AP electric with the front sight at the middle position---and that had been a definite boon t...

Admittedly adjusting the Dillon 550B small bar is a real pain in the ace---but I get consistent 1.2 gr of VV310N for my .32 S&W rds. It's a real tortuorus adjusting period, but with persistence I think you can achieve such a small load.

Unless I am getting older by the second---in SP (Standard Pistol) we have three stages--- Slow (Precision), 20 second, 10 second---the "Duello" appears as the "rapid fire" stage in Women's Sport Pistol and the Centre Fire Match as well. Or am I totally crazy and ready for the nur...

When shooting at 10 Metres, the 50' pistol and prone lights are off and all other Range lights are off. Now this is the way we have functioned at my range. If you saw the Atlanta facility at th eOlympics the lighting there was almost totally hidden, but fantastic.

Hey, if those are under the new rules ( which they should be) those scores ain't nothing to sneeze at----I don't think those guys have lost anything IMHO. I'm hearing a lot about guys getting the new MG-2's , I hope they have better luck with that gun than I did. I didn't think it was too good for t...

Don't wear that hat in the woods any time of the year.

Hey Denver, thanks a lot---I don't have a fax anymore---so if you could scan and e-mail it would be appreciated. fishnshoot@optonline.net

I had a set of TOZ instructions in English ( from the late Don Nygord ) and gave them away, due to my overly generous nature. Does anyone have a set that could be duplicated and/ or scanned and e-mailed??? It would be greatfully appreciated as I will be returning to shooting my Svetlyana and I would...

The Great City of New York does not permit Air Pistol nor Rifles. Elsewhere in the Vampire State there are no caveats that I personally know of---Bob R. in Plattsburgh NY Br-r-r-r-r

Ah yes !!! The "Cone of Protection" syndrome. I know it well---many's the time I have witnessed similar manifestations of this wicked little Poltergeist. I used to say " shoot all the way around the ten and let it fall out"---"now score the target---I dare you." My FP m...

Sure and the next thing you may want is a release trigger---that would really be the way to go or would it? Yes, there is a dearth on new toys on the FP market and righfully so---the TOZ is like the AK47 of the world---so many were made and they are without a doubt the most popular FP bar none. Hamm...

Ah so desuka! Thanks for that explanation Guest, it helps me to understand the rigamarole I went through when I bought one of the first MG-2's that Don Nygord imported---that was the biggest machinists nightmare and complex gun I have ever seen in my long life---and additionally the biggest piece of...

Caveat Emptor---is my motto when it comes to Morini---Their Free Pistol and Air Pistol---the 84E and 162EI---are without equal. The rest of Morini's stuff, the MG series and CM 22 have issues that frankly IMHO smack of poor engineering and/or manufacture. Additionally which Morini is making which Mo...

Truly I believe that the FP is the gun that gives me the most positive feedback to both AP and Bullseye as well. I have found the more I practise FP the more my scores in both AP and Bullseye show a positive trend. My FP scores, however do not seem to improve an awful lot---must be my age catching u...
