TargetTalk

He responded pretty well to a "mental imagery" pep talk and the shot calling/target marking exercise. The flinch was reduced to 1 out of 10 shots. He's in offhand now. If it continues, I may put him back in prone and change guns just to break the known trigger/anticipation thing.

Thanks all...headed to the range to coach.
We require hearing and eye protection as it's smallbore. We use high grade Saftey glasses. I'll see if I can make some progress with him tonight!

I coach NRA 4P for our club's Junior Members. One of my better shooters (half way through offhand) suddenly starts closing his eyes as he releases the shot--not a flinch per se but something that needs to be fixed pronto. I need some ideas on drills that will help him. I was thinking of making him c...

For lack of a better place to post this: I instruct my club's Junior NRA Rifle group. We have a hodge-podge of rifles, among them 6 Anschutz --all different, form old 54's up through the new CMP junior rifle. The trigger on the CMP gun is horrible and the rest just need to be detail stripped and cle...

Hi, Hopeing someone can help. I coach our club's "Junoirs NRA smallbore" and we have to do something about Saftey glasses. Ours are always scratched and too large for the litle ones (we start with 8 year olds up to 18) Does anyone know of a website where I can get: -Various sizes of relati...

$800 is what I paid two years ago for my M41 from 1969 with orig. box and papers, 7 3/8" bbl, muzzle break, false muzzle and 2 orig mags. My advice is to hold out for an old 41 in good shape. Several friends at my gun club have purchased new 41s and they ended up having to send them back becaus...

I got a Benelli MP 90 in .32 this spring. I love the thing! Never a malfunction in 1,500 rounds!! As much as I love my model 41, I'm thinking of getting an MP 90 in .22. The raked European grip really locks the wrist and the wide, generous sights rock. I would caution you that the .32 is finicky abo...

I borrowed the neighbor's Dremel w/ 60 grit sanding drum and got up the nerve to remove the material I spoke about in the earlier post. No problem. I kept taking a bit until I got it right then spent 15 minutes with a 4 penney finish nail and a light hammer and put the stippling back on. If I didn't...

"It does look like you might need to add some material to the grip where the palm of your hand is close to your thumb where that meaty part is. From the top arrow go straight up and where the grip stops it looks like there is a little gap. Not sure if this is because you have too much material ...

I have a new benelli MP 90 32. This is my first anotomical grip. The grips fit quite nicely except for at the bottom in the back. I must have a fat hand!!! See the FAT of my hand overhanging the grip (arrows) in the attached photo. It is keeping me from getting the "V" of my hand directly ...

I should get in the habit of logging in...I'm the "guest" that started this thread. "Now you'll let the bullet do the job the powder funnel should have done?" ... never thought of this. I always assumed that the pressure under ignition would obtruate (is that the right word???) t...

Fill a 12 ounce soda can with water and hit it with a .22 High velocity hollow point (they don't need to know it isn't target ammo). It will shred the aluminum can and splatter water in a 10 foot radius. One comment.....why 25 meters for this demo? Most accidental discharges are the shooter shooting...

Hi all, I just ordered my first .32 wadcutter gun...a Benelli MP90. In preparation I bought some brand new hirtenberger? brass and all the necessary accoutrements for my Dillon 550b, including Dillon dies. In the second station (bell & powder) the case is getting stuck on the powder funnel and i...

I'm helping coach a juniors smallbore rifle program for our club and would like to find a presentation in MS Powerpoint (computer slideshow) to take the kids thru the basics....proper prone position, sight picture, trigger pull, etc.. I own my own projector for work. I think today's kids will learn ...
