TargetTalk

In 1963/4 I used a Hi-Standard Olympic .22short for the Rapid Fire competition, at that time Walther started porting their barrels on their RF pistols. I drilled my barrel in three places, slowly using a new drill. I did not plug it first and there was no obvious fraze in the bore. Bench rested the ...

If I attend a match that uses paper targets with 5 shots per, can I set up a camera zoomed to the target to spot my shots, assuming it is possible? It looks like a spotting scope is not legal according to ISSF rules. I have seen spotting scopes and monoculars in less formal, or NRA matches. I was t...

A brilliant pistol in .32 S&W long.

Careful! Levine doesn't want any political discussions on this site.

Not a discussion, just a statement of fact.

David, K38, then Britarms .32, then Manhurhin .32, 1963 to 1997.

Way after my last contact!

The only information I have is in Wales but very old. i.e. a pre 1995 phone number 0938 72604 the "1" is missing.

and this business card:-

Right handed shooters shoot right to left and vice versa because the target is in full view as the gun moves onto it.

Try contacting the developer, I found him to be most helpful:-

One thing I have never tried but would like to see discussion of is lower-left hold.

I rather think that is what is known as a "tongue in cheek remark". ;-)

I use "targetshootingapp.com" It is available for any target with a round aiming mark. See it on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HFdcyrpstY

"The range points north by north-east and here, in the southern hemisphere, at this time of the year (spring equinox) the sun rises in the east, moves towards the north and sets in the west. Thus in the morning, when we were shooting, the sun was above and behind our backstop shining towards th...

About 35 years ago I had a Hammerli CO2 5 shot BB accurate at 10m but not much farther.

Yes he is the same. He modified my grip for me when I was shooting in Moscow in 1979. He was also a very accomplished conjuror.

A suggestion: Plan to hold a competition during the Games regardless of whether the official games organisers decide to fly the official logos over the event or not. Try to include ALL ISSF disciplines. Call the event the Commonwealth Cup or something similar. Promote the event by offering free adm...

Not "removed" it was never in it.

I have competed in several Commonwealth Games and I am ashamed to be a Brummie. :-((

David is correct, I first shot an international competition on 'dustbin lids' in January 1990. If I remember correctly David was also on that team.

Well spotted.

Definitely the FAS I had both. Also a Hammer 230.
My FAS was the earlier IGI Domino which I still have although as I am in the UK I had to have it deactivated.. I won medals with it so I wanted to keep it.
Just my opinion from personal experience.

Confucius he say:- "Light up - shots up."

First thing I learnt 55+ years ago.

I have been shooting pistol for 55+ years. Many years ago I was advised to focus on a pen tip ~40cms away moving it up, down, left and right all the time bringing it closer to the eyes until you can no longer see one tip. It will go out of focus, but that it not the object of the exercise it is to c...
