Pistol loading

I have an Aeron B98 and it is a pain to load single shot. In order to reload for a single shot you have to remove the pellet carrier from the gun. Now you have the gun in one hand, the carrier in the other, and the pellet in your mouth ;-) So you have to put the gun down, stick the pellet in the car...

Thanks for all the help. Best was the link the the rules. I kind of liked the way it fit but, even with the buttons at the outside edge, I could not really drag the other side 70 MM further without help from about two friends;-) So since I have not installed the buttons yet back it goes for the bigg...

shooting jacket

I shoot ISSF style( I try to follow the rules but have little hope of ever representing my country in the Olympics) in my basement and am in it mainly for the toys. I just got a shooting jacket and have a few questions about the fit. I put it on and the sleves seem about right but I noticed the butt...

I'm a new shooter too. I was trying to call my shots and I would fire five shots and then go down to look. Sure enough, just like I called it, there were shots all over the card. I had no way of knowing the shot I thought was up and left was the hole that was up and left. I got a spotting scope, $15...

I did take the shelf off, it's the only way I can fire for more than a few minutes. I hold the gun and the finger natually rests the second bone, well past the first joint, on the trigger. In order to get the pad on it I have to work at pulling it back and it gets tiring fairly quickly. I had pretty...

grip size

I just got a B-98 and I want to know if my grips are too small or if I am doing something wrong. The first problem I have is with the shelf. Even if it is lowered all the way down I can not hold the gun for more than a few minutes before my hand starts to hurt from the pressure. The second thing tha...
