Mine was 536. At the time I remember feeling quite deflated as I had been shooting into the early-mid 550s in training. However afterwards everyone at the match gave me lots of encouragement and told me not to be so hard on myself. One of the difficulties I had was (and continues to be) the lack of ...

They came up for brief discussion early last year via a .32 revolver that had been made by them but then re-branded by an Italian company. http://www.targettalk.org/viewtopic.php?t=8313 The Alfa-Proj products certainly look well made and the Czech's do have a long and noble history of manufacturing ...

Slightly off topic - but still on Grip Paste. I've recently purchased a Morini 84e and am thinking it will soon be time to make some grip alterations. Up until now, on my other pistols grips I've only ever used wood dough type fillers that harden on exposure to the air. Does using Morini grip paste ...

Monetary prizes = higher entry fees.
Most ISSF shooters prefer lower entry fees and no monetary prizes.

See if you can find out who is importing Baikal shotguns and rifles and ask them. Highland Sports used to be the importer and distributor of Baikal products into Australia, but there is now no mention of it on their website, they may have dropped them http://www.highlandsports.com.au Victorian Arms ...

Well I've read all about it, and have read comments from a couple of UK target shooters, but does anyone know anyone who has actually seen one in the flesh or used an example? David (Levene) - any thoughts or gossip? If not up to international competition quality, would it at least allow British sho...

Free Pistol shooting is allowed using the Long Arm Free Pistol being made in small numbers. These have rear-ward extension bars which extend the pistol's length to the extent that it no longer comes under the ban. These bars have to be fitted at the time of manufacture - they cannot be retro-fitted....

I assume that Tycho is alluding to the attitude that some French and German speaking Swiss have towards the Italian speaking part of the country i.e. it's "Africa". You get the same thing in Austria where they jokingly call everything east of Vienna, "The Balkans". Every regional...

A 10 shot 15mm test target group at 25m, fired from a machine rest, is not impressive. I hope the current guns are better. That's the factory test target. I've achieved about an 8mm group in my own testing of my AW93 after finding an ammo which it was particularly happy with. However how a gun fits...

Do you have a link to some good pictures of this gun? What kind of groups may we expect on the test targets that come with the guns? Thanks. I would be surprised if there will be any difference in either the appearance of the pistol or the size of the test fire group over the "current" AW...

The thought that I could buy a new grip has crossed my mind. That's why I came here to ask for recommendations. Just a word of caution if you are looking at buying a new grip. If you truly have a Morini 163e (15v battery and fixed cylinder) rather than a 162ei or 162ea (AAA batteries, removable cyl...

I am not sure of the women's grades as they still shoot a 40 shot match. (Can't quite figure that one out. Maybe has something to do with fatigue in older style "crankers") You can check all the Australian grade levels at http://www.auspistol.com.au/about/grades.htm We use exactly the sam...

Another snippet of information I picked up from an air rifle marksman. "Dont drink coffee before you shoot, it makes you wobble/jitter" Is anyone else familiar with this effect? How long does it take to wear off? Just to be on the safe side I'm going to avoid it on any day that I'm shooti...

I know everyone has their personal preferences on what the best gun is, but I wanted to see if there was some general concensus among shooters. There is none. Just about every aspect of every standard pistol currently in production has already been discussed on Target Talk. All have their promoters...

Okay, so here are the final results for the Open . And here are the results as a spreadsheet. Wow! For the first match in over 30 years, there are some pretty impressive scores there. Would some of these competitors have been shooting AP in the UK before this - or have they come over from shooting ...

Don't fret too much about it. If you ask around, someone else may have centering device and you could use theirs. Otherwise, a coach (or if you are lucky) an optician may be able to do a pretty good job of it. You don't say whether you are shooting rifle or pistol. Rifle shooters that use shooting g...

It seems Sam and other makers are building pistols with weights at the back instead of the regular weights at the front. The ones you see with weights attached the back are probably "Long Arm" Free Pistols designed for the British market. These increase the over-all length of the firearm ...

I ummed and aarrred over getting the centering device but finally bought one - and I'm glad I did. It's purpose (in case you are unfamiliar with it) is to adjust the lens so that your pupil is directly behind the dead centre of the lens - that being the most optically perfect part of it. As Knobloch...

I don't see how this could be illegal under ISSF rules. That's the whole point of Free Pistol - it is essentially free from restrictions. The only rules are that it is 22LR, held in one hand, one cartridge is loaded at a time, and the grip does not touch the wrist. Other than that it can as long as ...

Rink is fine if you have a national distributor where you live, but the thing that put me off them when I was in the market for a new grip for my AW93 was their punishing postage rates. 50 Euro (= US$64 !!!) to airmail a grip weighing only a couple of hundred grams outside of Europe. I found this pr...
