I'd recommend a light coat of either fine sand, or if you want something a little grippier, aluminum oxide grains, embedded in either a coat of latex paint, or for a little less tack, urethane. Both of those will give you enough grip they will take skin off. The latex paint will stick to your hands...

Or you could just use resin powder.....or would that be too simple ? You mean rOsin powder? Do shooters use rosin powder? I've never heard. And maybe the powder may get into the mechanism, and into the barrel. Your palms will be in the powder. You take a pellet with dusted fingers and insert into t...

What pistol are you shooting, in what type of competition?

Pardon for that.

It's air pistol for 10 meter shooting (ISSF).

I don't mind. The question is not about comfort.

The question is: can it improve the results?

Too difficult, if it is a hardwood grip, use a good stippling surface with a linseed oil finish and you will have a slip proof surface. What is difficult? Screwing a handful of screws and cutting their heads off? We are training for years. Isn't it difficult? And if such modification to the grip is...

I suppose I need an absolutely slip resistant grip. Now I'm thinking of a pieces of steel wire pinned into the grip and protruding from it. Say, let the diameter of the wire be 0.7 mm. Each piece will be inserted to a depth of 5 mm into the grip and will protrude for 0.5 mm over the surface. Maybe n...

The lectures are nice. There is a whole cycle there. But as far as I can understand, putting the feet parallel to each other is a more modern methodology. In bygone days they taught us to put our feet at shoulder length. And at the natural angle of the feet. But now the couches tend towards parallel...

Well, in the book there is no comment on that. It would be interesting to know which book and who the author is. Russian books. Several. For example, by Itkis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisei_Itkis I'll try to translate: "Applying weight to the weapon develops the ability to work without ...

I can't catch your idea. How is it connected with the topic?

What are you trying to achieve? If it is hold endurance in resistance/strength then you're going the wrong way about things imho. Well, in the book there is no comment on that. The mechanism of the exercise is: change whatever you can. The trigger weight - less and more. The length of sight line: m...

For training purposes I'm going to add some weight to my air pistol. I have read this in a book: add some weight, take a lighter pistol, shift the balance to the muzzle, shift it to the grip. So, now let's discuss adding some weight. I mean not to balance the pistol but really to train the body. May...

Should I make a grip for a leftie? Or just holding my ordinary grip in the left hand will be enough?

Whatever I have read about training the other hand is about physical training. For example holding a pistol in the other hand (2-3 min x 4-5 times). But what troubles me is whether there is a resource for the training of the brain here. I mean that if we perform ordinary shooting exercises holding t...

It's going to be tricky. Well, I'm confused a bit. I once had a chance to try SCATT. I was in a shooting club and there was a SCATT there. I came to the coach and asked for permission. It was he who told me that you have MP-46 and you will have to make some yoke for the sensor to be attach to the s...

Could you help me understand whether it is possible to attach Scatt sensor to the MP-46M? I mean what about the lever? I've heard that people attach the sensor through a DIY yoke to the front sight base (number 10 in exploded parts scheme). I'm considering buying a SCATT for myself. So, it is not fo...

Don't you adjust the trigger with some margin of safety? I use a weight of 550 gr.

I would like to find a clarification by ISSF about that notch on the trigger. not really necessary to have it clarified - everybody (except some coaches and some manufacturers) seems to understand the intent. It depends. If you see such notches every day, this may be obvious. If you have just notic...

I would like to find a clarification by ISSF about that notch on the trigger. There is this guide: http://www.britishpistolclub.org/ISSF/Trng_Manual_Pistol_for_rangeofficers_judges.pdf Clause 3.5. """" It is the shooters responsibility to present a pistol that is capable of being...

According to the author it absorbs jerks.

Do you really need any feedback? My coach used to tell me: the shot should be unexpected.
