New rifle question

Hello all, I'm looking to possibly get back into rifle shooting after an 8 year hiatus. I shot in college and was averaging around a 592/600 (non decimal) towards the end. During that time, I was shooting an 800x that I stupidly sold but loved. As a lefty, it is very hard to get a rifle in stock and...

Free pistol scores

I just shot my free pistol for the first time tonight and am not sure how to judge my scores... I shot a 501 on b35 targets at an indoor range. How do the b35's correlate to the full 50m targets? How much should free pistol scores be different from air pistol? For those that shot rifle, is it a lot ...

Re: Reduced free pistol targets

Thanks guys! I have an indoor range that can go out to 25yds and plan to shoot there until it warms back up.

Reduced free pistol targets

What are all the official 50m reduced free pistol targets? There seems to be a plethora of pistol targets available, but I'm trying to specifically find ones for 25yd reduced and 50ft reduced if those exist.

Re: Eley Tenex Pellets

p "Price really doesnt matter to me. If I can afford an $1800 air pistol, an extra few dollars for ammo isnt an issue. This isnt a sport where scrimping really makes tons of sense imho..." BUT...you are making the TOTALLY unwarranted assumption that you are actually buying improved perform...

Re: Eley Tenex Pellets

I actually believe group size makes a pretty big difference here. For extreme spread, you are going to have more compound error in pistol than in rifle. I havent tried the chinese pellets yet, but the box seemed similar to the special rws ones. After shooting more with the eley, I seem to shoot bett...

Eley Tenex Pellets

Just got two boxes to try out and not quote sure what to think... I just shot a really good round without any issues, but I'm curious about the quality. First, the pellets dont feel lubricated at all. I'm used to shooting r10's, and these feel nothing like them. Secondly, there is a horrendous seam ...

I don't know which hand to shoot...

So, this has recently come up after shooting my real firearm and dry firing it, but I cannot find a noticeable difference in hold or trigger feel from my right and left hand... Is this normal? I am in the process of purchasing my first air pistol and realizing how important the grip is. I am clearly...

Re: Am I Crazy?

Do you guys think glasses are necessary? I used them in rifle to assure repeatable head position, but what advantages does it serve in pistol? Last time I got it checked, I have around 20/10 vision with no other optical problems. Would there be any good use to have a par of glasses? Also, I am hopin...

Am I Crazy?

Hello all, It has been quite a while since I have posted on this forum, but after a few years after my NCAA career came to an end, the shooting but has bitten me again. After 8 years in rifle, I have decided that I do not want to deal with all of that gear any more, and it just wouldn't feel right n...

Re: Chattanooga Shooting

I have seen a lot of stuff for that range! Unfortunately, I am probable going to need to sell one of my rifles to help with money, and my air rifle is my baby.

I would love to come shoot there sometime before it gets sold, though!
