Re: IZH46M .177

If it is that old, it may not be the "M", but just the IZH46 version. I have one that I bought over 20 years ago and mine is the non-M version, just IZH46. You can also search the completed auctions, or sold items in eBay to find out what they actually sold for, and use that to decide your...

Re: CCI Quiet in a Free Pistol

Not specifically answering your question, but I once tried the reduced noise CB Long ammo in my S&W 41. This is the ammo that was advertised with a popped kernel of popcorn to emphasize how quiet it was. That ammo would not cycle the 41, and wouldn't even eject, but it shot to pretty much the sa...

Re: Pistol shooting and gym

My experience has been less than desirable with mixing the two. I used to shoot a few nights a week and found that when I pushed myself in the gym, my hold was not as steady. Not just an increase in the wobble zone, but an introduction of some tremors and an occasional twitch, often at inopportune m...

Re: Your favorite shot?

I love ten ring skidders! Once upon a time in my frivolous youth when I wasn't shaky and blind, I shot FOUR on one target. What do YOU like? This brings back some memories. Years ago, when shooting as many BE matches as we could find, we used to shoot a few 1800s on the Army L target. This target h...

Re: Shooting in the Olympics...

I suggest we look at Heads up shooting, just like archery, short man on man eliminations on the clock. It made Archery good on TV. Use an untelevised 60 shot precision event to set the firld and then go man on man...... Its worth a look. I wish that the archery events would be shown without the exc...

Re: best pellets for Daisy/Avanti 753S?

After reading about them here on a number of occasions, I bought a few tins of RWS Diabolo Basic pellets. Rover, in particular, has been a person mentioning these in similar threads for both rifle and pistol applications. They're a 7.0 gr pellet, so on the lighter side, but in a SSP like your 753S t...

Re: MONTHLY AP LEAGUE, December 2019

The App is called TargetScan in the AppStore. I paid €19,-. Make sure the targets are FLAT and with a WHITE background and it will work fine. I bought the Targetscan App last weekend after seeing a friend of mine using it at a comp we were shooting. I got it for Android, £18.99. Early days but the ...

Re: Compensator design

I built a compensator for a 1022 clone about 25 years ago that still works pretty well. It was actually an AMT Small Game Hunter rifle that I bought back when the Chevy Truck Sportsman's Team Challenge first started. I worked for a big pharma company in the development area, and we had a well equipp...

Re: .22 match wadcutter pellet for Daisy 722?

Only you will be able to tell which pellet your pistol likes best, but for a little head start look at the ones that are similar to the ones you had luck with in your 747, meaning you probably can pass on the ones that come in a little milk carton. The same brand wadcutter that worked in .177, but i...

Re: Coffee

Going back a couple decades, when I devoted more time to what was then called Bullseye pistol, it seemed to me that all the top guys in my area tried to be caffeine free. I tried that too for a while, as I was able to see a difference on our usual league night following our brief intermissions and c...

Re: RPA Trakker Precision Engineering

I remember seeing this sight mentioned in HighPower circles going back a decade or so. It was often mentioned along with the Warner, and was well thought of. I did a bit of research into the subject before buying a Warner myself, and I remember more than a few people suggesting that I look into the ...
