If figure that if they're fooling around with this, they're not Olympic shooters anyway.

True. The Olympic shooters probably have someone test the ammo for them…

Benelli's apparently still make some great 25M pistols . . . and even an 10 M Air pistol So what's the deal with the stabilizer? Thought that was only for Olympic recurve bows. 1. Physical attributes? 2. Is it legal? 3. Equipment control: Would it fit "in the box"? http://i.imgur.com/TPA4...

93-3x 91-2x 91-1x 90-1x 89-1x 89-1x 543-8x These are the best six targets of the month. LP-10 Meisterkugeln Cape Gun Works, Hyannis, Massachusetts USA (while the guy in the next lane is blasting a 10mm or something equally percussive) My second month, this is fun!

Even holding in his left hand its getting close https://i2.wp.com/www.saudi24news.com/sa/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/3732f93088b072545c2bd7291526e3947b96754d.jpg?fit=1280%2C720&ssl=1 I see shooters stand like this in the middle of a match, right handed shooters turn around and put the gun in the...

With facebook way of ranking/hiding/showing posts, it is probably the worst platform for organizing events... https://www.facebook.com/Skanaker-League-102401268421882/ Works fine IMHO. Yes, it works as a page - just do not forget to visit it frequently to see all updates. But do not rely on "f...

Works fine IMHO.

A further leaning-like problem is whether more on the heels or the toes. Again, advised to distribute equally. However, in your natural standing, it is almost never equal. For me, being on the heels renders one very static, maybe stable at first but not able to respond to the wobble as the operatio...

Hi to all, We also see many top athletes leaning a bit backwards. Yet, many instructive materials just talk about distributing weight equally on both foot, implying that this will give the best balance. For me, this hardly seems to be the case when I am holding a pistol with 90 degrees angle to my ...

You stance should allow for two things: - comfort (avoid neck/shoulder strain) - stability (minimum arc of movement) You need to find a stance which will let you be as stable as possible and be comfortable for the duration of a match+sighters. Only you can decide what that is. But I would say that m...

Yep, totally intentionally taken out of context! I'm actually trying to lend some encouragement to you…

I think you have a weird way of encouraging people…unless you are trolling you might want to rethink your encouraging strategies…

Man, you need to concentrate only for 5 secs. That is it. Then repeat again. ADHD does not matter and will not matter. 5 sec of concentration will barely get you started IMHO. I’d say that for a properly executed shot the time requiring full concentration is about 25-35 seconds. - 10-15 sec prepara...

…so it's not posted here, but in 60 shots, I scored zero 8s. That's the first time I've ever managed to do that in my training…

Still dreaming of when that will happen. Even when shooting 570+ I’m still shooting 8’s……would be soooo satisfying to get all shots within the 9…

94, 96, 98, 93, 94, 95 = 570-13x

Steyr Evo 10 e
H&N Finale Match Heavy
Sius Electronic
Male 40

Shot a 7 in the fourth series…..eeerrhhh I’m mean the Electronic target malfunctioned…..I don’t do 7’s

As you know…the whole point of trigger technique is to pull the trigger without the front sight moving…..how you pull the trigger doesn’t matter as long as you can achieve that. But the general opinion among all top pistol shooters I’ve heard talk about it seem to be that this is done by squeezing t...

We only have one computer and no other software….
…might reach out to Sius

Hi! At the club we have Sius electronic targets and the Sius Data software. No one really knows how to use the software and I’m basically the only active shooter that competes. I have taught myself how to start and do a competition, but I can’t seem to be able to view old competitions. Does anyone k...

Does it matter more or less than a 200 microsecond difference in barrel time? If you’re one of the big dogs and you’re head to head for first and second place in the finals of the olympic games, then yes, a 200 microsecond difference in barrel time can cost you a decimal point, leaving you to take ...

thanks indeed, I will start little by little. These comments really motivate me. I guess you know the real basics: - focus on front sight (during whole shot) - sight alignment is WAY more important than a steady hold You could take a score card and cut away ring 8-10, leaving a black hole the size ...

Havent made much progress since then. I am not disciplined, I smoke and drink coffee during shooting, start live fire without any warm up. Waste quite some pellets and energy before starting to make a descent a shot. Still dont have a consistent grip or triggering— mostly experimenting. I am usuall...

That's probably a good call. My weight is for calibrating scales so I'm pretty sure it's accurate, but you're probably right that someone else could think the exact same thing. I'll tack on a few coins or something. I have mine set at 540-ish. That way I have a some margin. At Swedish Nationals the...
