Very sweet , looks like lots of fun ! May you have many happy days together .

Chris

Thanks for all the suggestions.... The Edelman targets are 2x the price of the Nationals, so I'll try the other solutions first. I can increase my velocity so I'll try that first and see if it affects my groups. I already use a cardboard backer, but I shoot the backer out pretty quick. I'll try the...

How about a visit to your eye doctor , how old is your prescription ...

Chris

At a guess , 500-700 , YMMV.

Chris

Just do it , you meet a lot of very nice an helpfull people . It can shave a lot of time of your learning curve , its a great support group , you find you arent alone !

Chris

Any or all of the above mentioned things would help . A PCP would cause you to use far less effort , an make the use of a 3P stand more efficient . Awsomes as the FWB 300 was , a modern PCP would make quite a difference in your game .

Chris

Call our host .

Chris

Personally , Im sorry I missed it . I dont plan to make the same mistake twice !

Chris

A wise lady shooter ( 4 time olympian ) told me you want two stage , 70 gms on first , 50 gms on second . With no creep .

Chris

All we can do is encourage anyone who takes an intelligent intrest . This can be time consuming , and sometimes expensive , but can also bring big dividends .

Chris

PS , where would all of us be if someone hadnt taken under their wing

All of the above notwithstanding , I would be most happy to find a Co2 LP1 at a good price , all the above said , I doubt I would convert it to CA .

Chris

CO2 didnt suddenly turn to poop overnight , an old skool LP1 would give any modern AP a run for its money . They have an advantage - no regulator . IIRC the AP record is still held by a CO2 gun .

Chris

It can or could be ordered in CO2 , I think there are retrofit conversions available . ya might also find parts from those guys who went from CO2 to air .

Chris

Very classy units , grab it if possible .

Chris

The LP@offers a three faced front sight , 4mm , 4.5mm an 5mm . Other than that its cosmetics , to shroud or not to shroud . The weight system is also different , the LP@ has the weights well below the bore axis .

Chris

55s have some track record for going full auto and doubling .

Chris

Getting some expert advice , from whoever will shorten your learning curve . Probably also improve your enjoyment . Deffinately compete when oportunity presents , you meet a lot of like minded souls , and learn lots .

Chris

I think an LP 50 could give most stadard pistols a pretty good run for their money . I wish I could use mine in the league matches around here .

Chris

Im a much less accomplished shot than you . I own both a Styer LP10 an a Morini short ( electronic ) . I purchased both , as it was obvious that they were the front runners , I figured Id sell whichever one didnt work out . Like you I try to train 3 - 4 times per week . For what its worth Ive been s...

The hand pump is also usefull for toping up cylinders when your scuba tank is starting to run down . Usually after a 60 shot match plus sighters you are looking at refill as opposed to top up . Air from a pump may or may not be as pure and dry as air from a scuba tank . Most AP shooters end up with ...
