Tom Ciarula just recently stopped making them and still has some in stock. Sounds like his friend Shep Matthesen will also be making them now. I'm happy to provide their e-mails by private message. Armorit used to make them too. A quick search will turn up their contact info and you can let us know ...

To broaden it a bit, all 3 Olympic disciplines have (different) collegiate programs. Hopefully some more experts here can add to this as there is not a single source elsewhere. Looks like SCTP and ACUI are now working together on Shotgun. [url]https://mysctp.com/college-corner/[/url] My search also ...

NRA's link worked for me: [url]https://competitions.nra.org/competitions/nra-national-matches/collegiate-championships/[/url] Their SSUSA mag. had a write-up on the recent NCAA Championships as well: [url]https://www.ssusa.org/content/wvu-wins-2025-ncaa-air-rifle-team-championship/[/url] Your list i...

Your trigger may simply be (far) out of adjustment.
The manual has a helpful diagram as well as instructions to help you adjust it.

CAREFULLY put the LONG end of the HIGH QUALITY wrench all the way STRAIGHT into the screw head. Hold the SHORT end of the wrench and turn with your FINGERTIPS.
Screws do NOT have to be EXTRA TIGHT on MATCH DAY...don't ask how I learned that one.

We shot in Zaragoza, about 300km West of Barcelona.
It was HOT!

Made me look!
I'm 2+ months "older" than JB.
I truly appreciate the forum and our generous host!!!

Hi Marty, Thank you for the update and sorry to hear that your neuropathy has worsened. Since your condition has changed, I suggest you contact Dr. Logar to update that and specifically ask about elbow support. I am not familiar enough with the NRA precedents/rules to know the answer. I do know that...

Marty, There are a few different answers to your question. NRA has a waiver process for Adaptive Shooting [url]https://adaptiveshooting.nra.org/[/url] I believe they will review your info and let you know what you can do to compete in most NRA matches. If Dr. Joe Logar is still there, he is an amazi...

Sounds like you are doing lots of things right and have good self-awareness. I really like that you are bringing the outside edge of the group in (few 8s). Deciding to reject questionable shots is quick. Refining hold takes a long time and concerted effort, including training hold specifically witho...

Hi Tom,
I really enjoyed helping lots of great athletes at JO again this year. Sorry you couldn't make it.
Let's set up a training program in your area this year.
Check PM in case you didn't get my contact info.

Would you like a Level 1 NRA/USAS/CMP Rifle Coach School in your area? How about one taught by an Olympic Medalist and former National Rifle and Para Coach? FYI, Any coach candidates affiliated with a club with a Midway USA Team Endowment account would receive $100 off per person. PM me here to find...

If you are trying to find pellets that work well in your rifle, please consider using a test vise (carefully) to try a variety of brands and sizes. The one best lot may not be the same brand or size as other good lots. Ideally, work with others in your club or area to combine assets so you all get a...

Nicolas,
In the US we have lots of juniors shooting 3P air rifle.
Note that the scores will be quite a bit higher since the target is easier and you will be indoors.
Usually the rifle & ammo combination is more accurate and there is almost no recoil either.

Looks like you are seeing the same rifle on both the waltherarms.com (US Importer) website and carl-walther.com (Manufacturer). Your profile does not list your location at all. Some buyers choose by proximity, some by presence at matches, recommendations or comfort level, in-stock availability, etc....

There are 3 different barrel options too:
650 mm light (thinner diameter)
650mm regular
690mm regular (heaviest)

You should specify R or L hand and Walther does have different size grips too.

That trigger has some serious mojo!!!
Having Karl work on your gun is like having Yoda work on your light saber!
Having the greatest Olympic shooter of the 20th century use your trigger on top of that???
WOW!
That rifle may not fire unless pointed at the ten ring!

When I moved to the OTC in 1985 and started training full time, it quickly became obvious to me that I needed a different trigger to fit my needs. I got a trigger from Karl, but also wished for a two-stage, which I don't think he made back then. Paul Ha was a club member and had access to a very nic...

I just helped an athlete with this at Camp Perry.
Once you take the grip off and watch the pieces move, it is quite clear which screw to turn (#2, CW).
Note the terminology in the manual may be different than what you are used to.

Will your junior be at JOs this month?
If so, please have him/her visit me at the Walther booth and I can help with buttplate adjustment and fit.
