I’m offering my accommodation at the World Masters Games in Sydney. My plans have changed and I’m unable to attend. Here’s a great chance for someone to live ‘at the range’ with the accommodation being the SISC – Sydney International Shooting Complex cottage. Here are the basic details, please email...

I’m searching for a unique front sight “set” for my LP 10. Recently I was in Germany (part of the Pilkington tour) and we got to shop at a great gun shop, Homme. It was there I purchased this “set” and I’m now in search of another one. It comprises of a base and three separate front sights being 10m...

Rob, Steve, Guest - thank you very much. Thank goodness I brought this up. I really did think that I "chalk" my position and then "weld" myself back there each time I move. Training at home - and I've been folowing the same proceedure. (yes the chalk's already gone!!) Makes sense...

Thank you David and Steve for the explanation. I know that some of the athletes at the club would benefit from a “reason”. It must be hard for English non speaking nations, especially ones like Indonesia (classed as a developing Nation) to pick up on current or modern training methods – and then tra...

I’ve a question about a training procedure. I live in Bali, Indonesia and fortunate enough (given that I shoot 510 - 525) to attend training with the Indonesian National air pistol team. On the weekend, the national coach handed out targets with the nine and ten ring cut out of them. We were instruc...

I certainly can’t match any of you guys in experience (or performance) nor quality of post material - given that I’m a real rookie at this sport (AP), but I’ve enjoyed this discussion so much, and so many “ideas” have flushed through my mind, I felt compelled to add some of my thoughts – with a litt...

Here's the USA Shooting - press release regarding the event. ZAGREB, Croatia - China's Wei Pang won the men's air pistol event today at the Vrapcanski Potok shooting range in Zagreb, Croatia. Pang shot a 584 qualifying score, plus a 99.8 in the final for a 683.8 total score in the first event of the...

Steve. As usual a fantastic well worded, clear, precise piece of advice for so many of us. Given that you are an elite athlete [surely anyone who shoots AP in the 570's and 580's and represents their country is elite] and with a daily training schedule that starts when most of us are still asleep - ...

How would you know whether the...

John: Good luck with it and let us know how it goes. Steve Swartz Reporting back and it’s hard to know where to start. The wider rear notch has made a great difference. Front sight focus and sight alignment is more manageable. More so, following advice in a post you had made for James - suggesting ...

This has been a bit of a revelation. Having adjusted my sights so there is now more light on either side of the notch what has become strikingly obvious to me is how much easier it is to stay focused on the front sight. Since day one, I’ve been shooting with a light “slither” both sides. This was be...

OBTW- to answer the implied question in spite of all this zen mumbo jumbo, generally have your front sight width equal to the width of the aiming bull; with about 1/3 target width of light on the top and sides. [/quote] Steve - this is interesting. Could you elaborate a little further. I've read Don...

Hi Mark - it has helped - enormously, thank you. Now for the first time I have the understanding of how the first stage travel corresponds with the first stage weight. And, yes, writing this from Bali where as you are probably aware the coldest it ever gets [June/July/August] is 23'C nights and 28'C...

No BJ I wasn't using the parts list to work on trigger weight adjustment. I spotted the "double" description when I was looking at the part names to post about the trigger sear and grip locking rod contact. I was reading the parts list and looking at the detailed diagram, trying to get som...

Thanks BJ you are right. Carefully placing the grip locking rod in the right position and it appears not to get any contact. To confirm this, I re-fitted the grip and left the tool in the grip screw and then dry fired with my hand on the tool to see if there was an "vibration" There was no...

I’m just slightly confused in regards to setting up my first and second stage trigger weight on both the LP 10 and Morini 162ei. I’ve been reading the posts from April 7th regarding trigger stage weights and note that: ”apply pressure until the trigger stops moving – this is the first stage”. I’ve o...

My LP 10 is as it should be. Just finished the chrono after doing the adjustment. Interesting – when I examined screw 10 it was extremely loose. Then to see how loose the adjustment screw was [no:20] I first turned it anticlockwise about one quarter of a turn and the screw and surrounding bush actua...

Thank you greatly gentlemen. I'll confirm with the dealer I purchased it from that's he's happy for me to do as suggested and will proceed with caution and take heed of all mentioned. This forum is full of wisdom, sound advice, great attitude and invaluable info. I will as a matter of interest repor...

At last a bright sunny day for my chrono-but alas the results the same as before when testing my LP 10. Precise reporting. With the RWS Club 10 (7.0gr) the 10 shot string produced a high of 427fps and a low of 394fps with an average of 411fps. RWS Geco (6.8gr) (h) 453fps (l) 422fps: Av: 432fps. RWS ...

I'm using the CED Millennium chrono. I checked my IZH-46M which came in 424 - 458fps. I'm firing from approx 1.8 - 2.0m from the first sensor. [there are two 60cm apart] Outside and bright sunny conditions. Overcast today but will do another test as soon as the sun shines. Living in Indonesia and ha...
