Hi Rob & David; I am used to the gun and have been experimenting with lots of variables, sights, weights etc. To me at least, I can judge if these are better/worse, but with the trigger, each variation seems to have pros & cons. With your 50/50 or 60/40, when do you personally start to take ...

Apologies if this has been asked before, no doubt many times. We are told that it is important to have a "surprise break" on the trigger. The logic is that we avoid involuntary corrections, flinches or other movements. What though, is the best way to have the trigger set up? Is it:- Breaki...

Thanks for the links to Dr Wong's articles, Fred. They are excellent and will help many of us to more fully understand the physics of our unusual vision requirements.

True, I didn't say I HAD been to an eye doctor (optometrist?) but on the other hand, I didn't say I HADN'T either. At that stage, I don't think eye doctors had been mentioned as a neccessary pre-requisite to obtaining shooting lenses. As for optometrists going for the extra training if enough of us ...

Thanks for the support Rob! It is difficult, if not impossible, to put over a point and cover all the possible eventualities. Richard is 120% correct, in that if there is a problem with one's eyesight, it needs an optometrist to analyse the problem and prescribe the treatment/correction. Your commen...

Fair comment Richard. I was only trying to offer a suggestion, on the same lines as some of the early posters, along with a source for the lenses. I take your point about the cigarettes, but there are lots of tax $ and £ there!

Fred In the UK at least, the optical labs that supply prescription glasses by mail order (to a prescription issued by the optometrist of your choice) also supply the High Street opticians, so we are talking about quality lenses, made with your choice of coatings and/or tints. All I requested was an ...

Richard, you have got the wrong end of the stick. I am NOT suggesting self diagnosis for anyone. I HAVE had an eye test; the optometrist DID check my eyes for all the other potential problems too. She also said I required +1 diopter for reading. It was a post on this forum (by a high level coach or ...

Using the same optical labs as the overpriced (in UK at least) high street opticians is hardly "screwing with your eyesight". Furthermore, not everyone can afford the $1k to $2k for the top flight pistols. For those who cannot simply throw money at their sport, a lens of the correct diopte...

Just found this forum again; it was lost amongst my many favourites! I have been using +1 drugstore reading glasses for reading for 13 years now; fine for reading, but front sight too blurred and target almost greyed out. No glasses means front sight unclear. Solution - got a mail order optical lab ...

Cheers Dude; downloaded and partly read (1st time) already. You are right about the amount of material and I can well imagine that extra bit sinking in on each reading. I like the way everything is explained too (no monkey see monkey do!!). I have always said that American textbooks and technical ma...

Thanks F Paul in Denver, will do. It really helps to be pointed in the right direction; there's so much information out there that the mind boggles!

Thanks Bob & Govt The time factor is logical and I imagine you are both correct. If anyone knows any different, please speak up! I agree about the 6 to 8 seconds; it seems like forever! I know it is going to be a long slow slog and I just keep practicing and trying to accumulate as much knowledg...

Come on guys! 20 views and no reply. It may well be a dumb question, but I'm sure you were all beginners once.

Hi Guys Just a novice, (10m air pistol, 10m & 20yard sport air rifle) trying to glean bits of knowledge from all over! Pilkguns site, article by Anatoliy Piddubnyy part 2. Discussion on balanced posture and reinforced posture. He refers to shots that are too long (balanced posture) and reinforce...
