I can only speak for the 110 , I like the takedown feature . The mechanism is simplified relative to the LG 100 , accuracy isn't effected .

For better or worse , you are dealing with Umarex , as Hammerli has been sold , hopefully they will continue to support Hammerli product . Match AP's shoot great at 20M , just for laughs I shot the standard pistol course of fire with my LP50 . I would say the LP50 has an unfair advantage over most s...

The only way to prove or diprove is a bench scession , preferably with a chronograph , firing test strings at various bar readings . You are a good enuff shot to pick up on stuff the rest of us wouldn't notice . You obviously have a lot of talent to be producing these kinds of scores without jackets...

How can belly shooting help your AP , other than teaching you how to take napps between shots . I've got to give it a try .

Eye fatigue combined with a wee bit of dehydration could screw you up , when you break and click your sights , you are resetting your brain and taking a break . If you shoot as bad as Richard H or me all tens are treated equal . Air rifle is a very demanding discipline , you can only maintain physic...

You could also try FP or AP , it will be a while before 600's will become a big concern . Then you can try to duplicate the feat with a couple of espressos in you . I think what you are calling stagnation is in fact your comfort zone , which is always subject to change .

It is not at all inconcievable that we could be talking about eye fatigue . A second possability is muscle fatigue . The late Don Nygord described the problem in a pistol shooting context . We could also be seeing sensory adaptation of your trigger finger . Have you tried shooting from a rest at dif...

As you improve / develop your rate of climb becomes less steep and appears less dramatic . It is however a never ending process , without a finite ceiling .

Check out Nygord's Notes , a veritable treasure trove . Avoid overholding like the plague , avoid the instinct to muscle or fix things ( you can't ) . Practice dryfiring against a blank wall , when things look bad , abort . Be agressive about aborting , and obcessed with followthru . You will reap b...

If you go the cheap sweatshirt route , rip the armpit seams open . Try and get the wife or girlfriend to finish the resulting hole .

Sauer makes a reasonably priced jacket , if it happens to fit your body type . They also make a very popular shooting sweater ( you need something between your underwear and that rather abrasive canvas ) . They seem to be a pretty good bang for buck , tho not the most stylish . Judging by the by the...

I have also had a hell of a time deciding what pistol I prefer . I have had some terrific performance out of both my Morini and my Styer . A wise English fella told me it's good to have two pistols , that way when you plateau with one you can have an adulterous diversion with the other .

The LP50 is anything but a white elephant , it is a fun plinker , shoots extremley well - both in rapid and single fire . Steyer quality is rather addictive , if you get an LP50 , you will likley gety an LP10 . If you like a little roll in the trigger , the LP50 trigger is just fine . Any difference...

What you are looking for is clean and consistent . This implies some kind of sorting , which in turn costs . Even the " expensive " stuff is relativley cheap .

Cheng , like most precharged pistols ;the LP50 prefers rifle match pellets . H&N and JSB work great , the only caveat is stick with 4.49 ( you might find 4.50 or larger hard to seat in your mag .At pistol velocities leading isn't a big issue , and match pellets already have dry lube on them from...

Cheng , have no fear , in the highly unlikley event that your LP50 goes full auto ; our host will fix it for you . Feed it nice clean pellets , you will love both the accuracy and reliability , It's crule to ruin a guy's anticipation of his new gun , which I'm sure will give him a long and faithfull...
