Re: Scatt MX-W2 versus MX-02

My SCATT reviews and content are here : https://www.olympicpistol.com/tag/scatt/

Both are great. For me the choice for the wireless version was made because of being able to use it directly with my phone, without a computer. It is a question of comfort.

Re: Newbie - progression and frustrations

Plateaus are normal and @rmca 's comment is very important. You have not told us how often and for how long you train. To improve you have to train a lot and in a deliberate way, not just throwing pellets down the range and looking at your scores. You should aim to train at the very minimum 3 days a...

Re: Sport Quantum electronic targets

They are great targets and packed as self contained units, with the included pellet catcher and tray, tablet, etc. It is my preferred system for home use. Many clubs are using them in Europe and are happy with them. To set them up quickly , just get them with the tripods the company provides. They a...

Re: TOZ35 light strike ~

You may not be cocking hard enough and the spring does not remain compressed, so you just dry fire and see no impact on the rim.

This is how to dry fire and to store the Toz-35 without a compressed spring:https://youtube.com/shorts/oEhEaTxade0

Re: Locking the elbow and coaching 10 meter.

Your inner elbow does not have to face the ceiling. This differs from shooter to shooter. Mine is to the side. Go as far as you can stretch your arm. Some shooters cannot extend it fully and just accept their morphology. They stretch it to what their body allows. I have a picture of this in my @olym...

Re: Netherlands?

Thanks @Th. I see the scoring used for the categories but not how to adapt the scores when mixing people in the different categories. Something akin to handicap in golf.

Re: Netherlands?

@Th. This is very interesting. I've just relaunched the monthly matches within my club and would like to use something like this to have a competitive ranking. How does the letter change the scores for the ranking in a competition ? We shoot one 20 shot competition each month.

Re: Damaged threads on LP50 pressure reducing valve

If you unscrew the cylinder only partly and leave it on the gun it will wobble and may lead to damage of the threads. Steyr's team of armurers at a competition recommended to have it fully on or fully off.

Your cylinder threads may have also been damaged.

Re: How Do I Fix My Sights?

There are a couple main choices:
* Stop focusing on them scratches and live with it,
* Blacken the sights with shoot or some kind of marker.

Actually, try both options :) Really focusing on the front sight will help them disappear.

Re: weight lifting shoes for shooting 10M AP

I've used the Adidas power lift, Sauer and Corami shoes, plus a lot of streetwear and tennis shoes. You have to figure out which style of balance suits you better: more forward leaning or more vertical leaning. You feel it in your feet and ankels. Just using the same shoes all the time for shooting ...

Re: 25m RFP Proposed changes

The rapid fire shooters I know also shoot sport pistol. Just like many women that shoot sport pistol also shoot 5 target rapid fire. The split of different events among genders is absurd. Luckily at least some national federations allow for all genders to participate in all events in the same condit...
