Re: gun choices for .22 target
I am, incidently, a longstanding member of Capitol City Rifle & Pistol, and am currently discussing somewhat more affordable .22 target guns with a couple of the members. Please let us know where the discussions lead I will do that. At the moment, the discussions have not lead anywhere definite...

Re: gun choices for .22 target
william, northpaw: Thanks for your comments - much appreciated, as are any additional comments by other "strangers". Unfortunately, although a Pardini is something I should owe myself, it is not going to happen for budgetary reasons. I am, incidently, a longstanding member of Capitol City ...

gun choices for .22 target
I'd be interested in suggestions for .22 target guns with [1] intermediate weight (say, 30-43 oz before optics or barrel weights), and [2] a light, crisp, & silky trigger similar to my Hamden High Standard Supermatic Citation or Smith 41. I have not had the privilege of shooting a Pardini. Thanks.

RWS - source?
Am shooting my way through my once-ample stash of .22 RWS PIstol Match . It now seems to be hard to find, and I would appreciate any suggestions for a source for buying multiple bricks. Thanks. Open to suggestions for "equivalent" ammo (feeds and groups well) for High Standard & Browni...

Re: Can anyone convince me to keep using center hold for 10m?
GWhite's schematic pictures, above in this thread, are excellent sight picture illustrations. I am by no means an elite shooter, so I will do no more than add a simple personal detail to my use of sub-6. I believe it is helpful to me to focus not on the horizontal top margin of the central sight pos...

Re: Shots are Low and Left
Sorry, but although you see this one everywhere, I hate it. It's missing one of the biggest errors made with iron sights and a 6 O'clock or sub-6 hold (looking at the target gives 12 O'clock shots), but what the heck does "breaking the wrist down" mean? You might as well say "pointin...

Re: wanted: rear sight plate for Steyr
I have narrowed the width on the rear sight notch on my LP1P from .188 to .113. It is too early to have anything definitive to say about the effect on the original problem (good elevation centration of points-of-impact but too much spread re windage centration), but preliminary indication from just ...

Re: Square vs "U" Shaped Sight Notches
I have shot with both. I know what Rover means by seeing the front sight post climb the wall -- it might well be an aid in terms of windage, but isn't something that I personally have found more effective than a judgement of equally wide vertical bars of light on each side of the front sight post A ...

Re: wanted: rear sight plate for Steyr
I don't know where my ridiculous figure of .625 for the notch width came from. Putting the dial calipers to it again just now gives me the correct figure, a non-nonsensical .188 (roughly 3/16"). And as if making that dumb ass mistake wasn't enough, I never realized that this gun has built in no...

wanted: rear sight plate for Steyr
I have always favored relatively wide rear sight notches for both airgun and firearm iron sights. I file them wider when widies are not commercially available. I am finding that my groups with my Steyr LP-1P are consistently showing greater E/W (windage) dispersion than N/S (elevation) dispersion. W...

Re: Sports psychologist
Pheyden, sounds as though you're ready to hang out a shingle and make some money as a "sports psychologist". In my neighborhood there is a woman who is a "food historian". She has not made it clear how she makes a living doing this.

Re: air pistols used in finals in the Olympic Games Rio 2016
Interesting list. For 10M, I shoot an LP1P, like Zhang, and think of it as an old-fashioned gun.

Re: Suction Cup Iris for Glasses?
Yes, those devices do help, but they are very fiddley. Fiddling with the aperture diameter, fiddling with the location of the device on your glasses, fiddling with the wretched suction cup technology, fiddling with the exact position of your head - fiddle, fiddle, fiddle, fiddle. I'd be inclined to ...

Re: cleaning pellets

Re: how to train for quiet eye
I am happy for anyone who adopts a technique that improves their scores. However, my personal inclination, which has stood me in good stead for a number of years, is to ignore anything spouted by psychologists who go around saying things like, "Your brain is like a GPS". Sorry, just not on...

Re: ISSF Music
The music is supposed to juice things up, and I suppose it does get the kiddies' chemicals bouncing. To me, it's a ghastly, unwelcome, low-IQ distraction. It's there, I think, because obligatory music background is taught in the ripoff lessons paid for by dreamy eyed dainty videographers-to-be who s...

Re: Trigger question
When I got my Walther LPM1 with its odd, angled trigger shoe, I instantly took a file to it. Mo bettah, brah!. This makes a lot of sense to me. Has anyone tried filing on the brass-looking trigger shoe of a Steyr LP-1P, vintage about 2000? Here's what makes me inclined to try it: I am righthanded. ...
