Thanks to all for the feedback and suggestions. For now, I've quit quit worrying about shooting for score (practice), focusing instead on sight alignment and trigger squeeze while shooting and dry firing on blank target backs (training). So far, I believe my groups have tightened a bit, which is enc...

Rover - you are right, of course. I will keep practicing. But you know, when you are a newbie to serious target shooting like me, practice can be tricky. Effective practice requires lots of self awareness. Lacking that, one is susceptible to "practicing" the same mistakes over and over. So...

Thanks Les - sage advice. I ordered the book.

I am in bad need of some coaching. Here’s the deal… Bought my first air pistol – a Daisy 747 - in September. The bug bit and I purchased a good, used Steyr LP10 in October. The Steyr is such a joy to shoot, truly a beautiful pistol. I’ve really worked on my technique – have done lots of reading on t...

Thanks guys. No doubt my technique could use some snooping. So today I focused on grip pressures. I realized that I had increased the pressure exerted to the side of the grip by my thumb as well as the three fingers below the trigger, thinking that was giving me a "steadier" hold. So I wen...

I plead guilty to being the nut holding the grip! Just to bring closure to this thread, I checked the stabilizer movement per the instructions from rmca and argus. It is functioning perfectly. It's interesting - as I try to keep focus on the front sight when the shot breaks - sometimes it stays rela...

Thanks - it does!

Thanks! That's great - will do. This is probably a dumb question, but do I carry out the check as you described with a charged air cylinder attached to the pistol?

Thanks j-team and argus Yeah, "jumps very slightly" is pretty vague, but I'm not sure how else to express it. Wish I could compare it to other pistols, but serious air pistol shooters are few and far between in my neck of the woods (SW Colorado). I'm guessing that what I experience is norm...

I purchased a lightly use LP10 a couple of months ago and have enjoyed shooting and getting to know the pistol. My question concerns recoil: the barrel jumps very slightly when fired - is this normal? It seems in my research prior to purchase, the conventional wisdom was that the gun stays rock stea...

While training for my first air pistol competition, my Daisy 747 developed a slight velocity problem. Daisy was willing to fix it, but with only two weeks left to practice, I did not want to send the pistol in, as it was still shooting accurately. So Daisy sent me a loaner gun to use if needed, and ...
