old vs new tech

I've wondered lately how much of an improvement an excellent shooter sees by moving from, say, a FWB 65 to the latest from Steyr or Morini or pick your favorite. In other words, assuming equal familiarity with the guns, what sort of point boost would the shooter get by switching from the best availa...

Re: Eyewear confusion

Thanks, that clears it up for me. I was thinking of the effect that the aperture in front of the eye would have on the aperture in the eye, or the iris.

Re: Anniston CMP Monthly Match questions

Thanks for your thoughts. Definitely agree that I don't have the experience to have developed preferences, and I recognize that practically all improvement will (hopefully) come as a result of practice, not a purchase. I'll keep an eye on the buy sell board. Those safety glasses look sharp ... I'll ...

Anniston CMP Monthly Match questions

Bit of background, or ... how can the poster know so little? ... I'm a 52 year old newbie to 10 M air pistol. I've found time over the past months to send several thousand pellets hurling in the approximate direction of a black circle printed on paper, when I should have been appreciating the golden...
