Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do? (New Sessions Added)
The Target Scan App is great! I might need to shoot 12 targets (5 shots per target) soon as I am making a lot of cloverleaf groups now and sometimes the App has a harder time scoring it (I just have to retake the picture to get the correct score). As for the competition. I kinda choked. I scored a 5...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do? (New Sessions Added)
I've been practicing 4 days a week or so for about an hour at a time. Today after cleaning out the shop I shot another 60 shot session. I broke the 540 line and scored a 549! Now to get rid of those flyers. I am going to go to the Olympic Training Center this Saturday to shoot my first match. Hope n...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do? (New Sessions Added)
Thanks guys. My large grip came in last night. Today I installed the grip and shot a couple targets to get used to the new feel. I also had to adjust the trigger placement to fit right again. I shot my 5th session and scored a 535, so 4 higher than the 4th session. It will take a while to get used t...

Yeah, I'm still figuring out my best hold. I clicked the sight up a couple clicks yesterday. I need to adjust it up a little more yet.Houngan wrote:Looking at your dispersion, time to click the sights up two or three notches.

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do? (New Sessions Added)
I fit in a half session today before it got too windy. Shot my first 95! I slowed down for this session, taking about a shot per minute instead of the normal 3 per minute. This session was feeling pretty good, too bad I couldn't finish a whole 60. I scored a 276/300. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4...

Re: New Shooter - Any 10M Air Pistol Matches in Colorado/Wyo
Thanks everyone, I'm going to have to get in touch with the Arvada Club. On another note, I shot my 3rd 60 shot session today. Scored a 532, 11 higher than my last session. When my large grip arrives, I hope to do better. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4489/23630210708_1043f3211a_o.jpg 3st Set with ...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do? (New Sessions Added)
Well I shot my 3rd Session of 60 today. Raised another 11 points from the last set for a score of 532. I adjusted my trigger slightly so it sets more natural. I am getting less pulled shots now. I shoot 10 shots per target. The first 5 shots are usually nice an centered, but the next 5 always open u...

Weird, the RWS Basics I have fit tighter than the RWS R10 in my K12.

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
I finished a second set today. Scored a 521, 11 better than yesterday. Now if I can just get rid of flyers/flinching. I also noticed my groups were much tighter if I changed my grip a certain way. Still somewhat painful to shoot with a much to small grip, so hopefully my score will improve once the ...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
Or just buy the Kruger targets I linked. They are cheap, only $12.50 per 250 targets. The holes are perfect, even with a slow 350 fps pellet.

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
Yes, though nothing competitive. I qualified expert marksman in both rifle and pistol at Fort Benning and I'm a long time shooter/reloader.
This is my first time really shooting air pistols and one handed shooting. I normally shoot pistols with a weaver stance.

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
Thanks, I have a ways to go though. I think I'd of had a better score if the grip fit. The grip was so tight that it was painful, my fingers and hand are still a little sore. I have the large grip on order though. I'm planning on attending the winter competition at the Olympic Training Center. I'll ...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
Thanks. I didn't notice the option to save a pdf. I'll look for that next time I shoot. Where do you get your targets? Also, is there a way in the app to set up a default session that you can repeat over and over without having to set up the target type and number of shots per target, etc? I tend t...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
You've done better at figuring out that app than I have. Nice job on the holes in the paper too. Keep up the good work! I held the targets up to the sky when I took the photos. It worked great and scored the shots very accurately. You just have to select the number of shots per target in the drop d...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
Colorado, How do you have your sights set, for bullseye, 6:00, or sub-6, and why did you pick what you did? 6 o'clock. I always shot my normal pistols/rifles set right on the bullseye. When I got my Gamo Compact, I first set it up that way. I then read the thread where most set theirs for sub-6 and...

Re: First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do?
"I scored a 510, or a 540.5 if using the decimal scoring." Decimal scoring is only for finals, not the 60 shot match. Here's a good start at self-evaluation: No bleeding puncture wounds on yourself or others? Ya done good. That's good to know, I thought there were just two ways of scoring...

First 60 Shot Session - How'd I do? (New Sessions Added)
Last week I picked up a Gamo Compact since I wanted to try out shooting 10 Meter Air Pistol. Within two days, I was already looking for a better pistol. Well last night I picked up a used (but like new) Pardini K12. Its an awesome pistol, but the medium grip is much too small, I'll have to order a l...

Just a Heads Up, Good Deal on Pellets
Just a heads-up for you guys. Pyramid air has a 15% off coupon and together with their buy 3 get 1 free on pellets, it adds up to a lot of savings.
I just bought 16 tins of RWS R10 Match 7gr. pellets for $10.16 a tin. Pretty good savings!

New Shooter - Any 10M Air Pistol Matches in Colorado/Wyoming
I'm a long time rifle/pistol shooter, but I'm just starting to get into air pistols. I'd like to start shooting in some local 10m pistol leagues. The only problem is, it is near impossible to find if there are any leagues/matches in my area. I live in Northern Colorado, are there any leagues in the ...
