Re: Best 10 Meter Air Pistol Targets

Who makes the best air pistol (B-40) targets? The ones I'm using from Kruger do not allow for nice neat holes most of the time. They are nice heavyweight stock but wadcutter pellets and rimfire ammo tends to tear rather than punch them. Are you using a target backer? Cereal boxes make excellent tar...

Re: Should I learn to shoot pistol or rifle?

Pistol is much harder, but I enjoy it much more than F-Class (rifle) or trapshooting (shotgun). It does not hurt that carrying pistol gear to matches is MUCH easier compared to rifle, because of all the associated equipment a rifle can require.

Re: Cost and Disadvantages of a PCP Rifle

When buying old scuba tanks do not buy any aluminum tanks made by Luxfer in the 70s though the 80s. They used defective aluminum alloy. More than a few of their tanks blew up and killed people. If you get one of these and it hydros you are fine, but I have now had two that failed hydro. You get the ...

How Many Shots On Steyr LP50 Test Target

Does anyone know how many shots Steyr have on their test target that comes with each LP50?
On mine I can only see one hole that is slightly oval.

Re: Industry - Summary of Proposed 2017-2020 ISSF Rules Chan

I am a Bullseye shooter so please excuse my ignorance. I wear side blinders after an empty .22 hit on the elbow of my glasses once. So I wear for safety. I also use sound enhancing ear muffs for safety as well. If someone yells out cease fire during .45 fire I want to make sure I hear it. I don't se...

Re: New bullseye pistol

Cannot tell you what to do. I placed an order for a custom, hand-made pistol from KC Crawford. Took eight months but it is perfect in every way. Well worth the money and the wait.

Re: SHOOTING IS MY OLYMPIC SPORT

I looked at the site and do not see any merchandise with that logo ( hats, shirts, etc.). If you start selling merchandise that will get the message out there quicker and can generate some revenue.

Slide bite and you can get a more consistent grip. Consistency in everything you do leads to higher scores.

Re: One Spot For Pardini Info

All I can tell you is my Pardini 32 ACP is the most accurate handgun I have ever owned. In 22 I had a tuned Ruger Mark III and an AW-93. Now my CF scores are higher than my 22 scores. Because the Pardini is so accurate I am fully confident and expect my CF scores to be high..probably as much mental ...

Re: Starline to offer .32 ACP brass

Wonder what the percentage of .32 ACP shooters are using Pardinis? Seems like this year for Bullseye a lot of CF shooters were shooting Pardinis in .32 ACP.

Re: Pardini 22

I see a lot of Pardinis on the line. The other advantage is you can switch barrels and shoot .32 ACP for center fire.which is very accurate at 50 yards.
I resisted shooting .32 for a long time. Should have switched earlier.

Re: One Spot For Pardini Info

I did not mean for this thread to get into praising or criticizing a vendor. But felt it might be worthwhile to relay the following. I had trouble with the scope moving on my Pardini with the 32 ACP barrel. I emailed info@pardiniguns.com on Sunday (21st) at 8:32PM CST asking if I bought another ring...
