Re: Air pump

Not sure where you are located. It does say they do not ship to USA. May not ship to your country. Seems too cheap to be any good...but who knows?

Re: Eley Tenex Pellets

Agree. I also bought a box. 450 pellets instead of 500. Not a huge deal, if you are willing to spend this much money. I have to dump pellets out. You are right, for transportation, the plastic Eley box, with pad, sure seems to protect the pellets. From a visual perspective the R10 pellets sure seem ...

Re: A Statement from USA Shooting Finance Committee and Staff

Glad hear thing. USA Shooting is what allows us to grow our Olympic and future Olympic shooters. One thing that can help long-term is to get people to consider putting USA Shooting in their wills. This is a long-term source of funding, but if it is allowed to grow, and only take interest out of it, ...

Re: How does velocity affects on shots count(Evo10)?

When you purchase a top level 10 meter air pistol you are purchasing an air pistol that has been optimally tuned with great triggers. It does not matter if it is a Steyr, Feinwerkbau, Pardini, Match Gun, Morini, or Walther. As someone else mentioned, do not touch anything until you have at least 5,0...

Re: what are the things one should check before purchasing second-hand pardini kids.

One thing...make sure seller is legit. There have been some recent scams where shooters lost money because no gun was ever delivered. Those air pistols are so new I doubt there is any noticeable wear. Do the cylinders hold air? Do they hold air when screwed on to the pistol? Do the pistols load smoo...

Re: Where Should Iris Go On Shooting Glasses

Thanks. I will try it. The only thing I could think of is; if you wanted to use a filter (yellow, grey), it would be easier if the iris was on the inside instead of outside.

Where Should Iris Go On Shooting Glasses

I have always had my adjustable iris on the outside of the lense on my shooting glasses. I happened to notice that, both a woman and a man in the 10 meter air pistol finals in Rio, they had the iris on the inside of their lense (closer to eye). Anyone know why they do that? I would think there would...

Re: Scammer has scammed-pleasehelp

Regardless, I donated and you folks should consider as well.

By blind luck I have never had a bad experience buying on the web. But this is the second instance I know of:-(

Air will die if we do not get, and keep, kids shooting
