stand on one leg then close your eyes and no doubt you will be in trouble. Sight is used to help balance, on your non shooting eye use the smallest blinder strip you can get away with this allows the "blinded" eye to see the world around you and use it as a datum to help balance. Balance t...

After a LOT of discussion we have come up with this:- For competition shooting 1. Mental state 2. trigger 3. Sight alignment 4. Sight picture =5. timing go/no go =5. follow through 6. Grip pressure 7. Stance 8. Breathing Mental state - You can often shoot tons in practice but in comps you cant and i...

A very thought provoking and interesting question that gets to the heart of the matter, again some very thoughtful responses I'm still mulling this over and will talk to our team and see what their consensus is as this is not as simple as it looks, as if pistol shooting was ever simple.

Having just seen the Olympic qualification scores it loos like a possible 3 K12's will be in the Olympic final for men unless Christian, Paolo or Federico have jumped ship to another pistol.

Thank you so much for posting the link.

If pistol X is seen to be winning and you can afford it that is what you buy. Pardini do not give pistols to use and get their name out there unlike others, absorber only gives problems if you use cheap dirty pellets and don't cheap out and why would you with an expensive target pistol. Felt cleanin...

That is all you need to do but just don't do it very often or use more than can be held on a pin and that may even be way too much you do not want the oil inside the pistol. Mine is over 10 years old and I use it to train most days so will have put thousands and thousands of pellets through it and m...

I'm in the lucky position of having a K12, LP10e and Morini Titaium to shoot and train with. I'm not a collector but a competitor and have the K12 as my main tool, I bought the Titanium when I had a cocking lever glitch with the k12 and needed a back up fast due to a competition. Pardini sorted the ...

If your rear sight is to narrow it can cause "hunting" and inability to get everything in alignment as you need that light coming through the sights to be able to work the relationship front to back try opening them up to give more light to see. The advice about grip pressure is spot on bu...

Yes they have but the target systems are like hens teeth at the moment if you want to try one out, funny you should bring this up as we have a Pentathlon athlete that has just joined our club to convert to shooting air on our electronic targets so there is some movement between the two. She is findi...

Or just buy the electronics and make the "box" yourself from offcuts of wood, the whole cost then comes down massively for you, and making the structure yourself is about at the practical skill level I would expect from my year 9 secondary school students (13-14 years old) using hand tools...

Set the velocity using 7.0gr pellets this is the std pellet used, use a nice one R10 or better, and set the stabiliser with this pellet too and heavier pellets will not make the stabiliser change as it is spring catch and spring powered unlike the K12 where you have to take account of the pellet wei...

My older Steyr LP10 electronic (before the evo) fires as fast as you can pull the trigger, my older morini Titanuim is also the same.

The spring is to keep the excess connection wire out of the way when putting the grip back on so that it does not get trapped in the process and becomes crushed between the grip and the frame as you tighten the holding screw.

Sounds like you have the skills needed, read everything on the website, and analyse all of the different aspects and come up with your own plan, my first target morphed three times as I used it and found better ways of doing things - LED lighting, mounting on a speaker stand, pellet catcher, making ...

+1 for freetarget, it is super for what you want, shot thousands of pellets at mine over the last three years, apart from the electronics I made mine myself but there are kits available.

We picked up a snowpeak pp20 about a year ago s/h for the club, yes it is lookie likie LP10 but that is only skin deep as the innards are their own, trigger is single stage and was way under 500g but I sorted that with a different spring. Shoots well and not given us any grief and it is liked rather...

We shoot 25m std pistol here using LP50's and in testing using a proper testing vice using unaltered velocity group sizes are almost one pellet hole size using wad cutters they are that consistent over 25m in still air, group size on a sand bag will be down to you I'm afraid.

Since you ask - my "lucky potato" crocheted for me by one of the lads I coach, along with trigger weight, pens, paper and mat for table.

Grown!
