Took a hiatus, but I'm back with a new personal best. (previous was 498-6X) For February: 527-5X (91-2, 85, 86-2, 87-1, 88, 90) Pardini K12 H&N FML 10m ISSF rules, Orion 004C targets Sub 6, HT M 65 USA Targets here: http://www.jimpoulette.com/Target_Talk_February_2022.pdf Still had a couple of f...

Very happy with the Corami shoes so far. After several months they are starting to break in and feel much better than now. A lot is personal preference, but my only advice is to use foot tracings for size - not generic "size charts". Info here: https://buinger.com/Corami-shooting-boots-for...

I just bought one to evaluate as a pistol for junior programs on a limited budget. It's nicely made, far better quality than the Crossman 2300T "Target" pistols my Club bought a number of years ago. The Crossman's are total junk, and do more harm than good. The triggers are awful, and tha...

The K12 comes in at about 300g "new out of the box". I felt the same thing. The recommendation from Pardini USA was: "Optimally, I would set the first stage to around 400 grams and the second stage to 140" . I used a Lyman 7832248 pull gauge, but at the end of the day - it suppor...

Getting back into it can be tough. I think most runners will agree that working through "re-entry" knee pain is possible if you take it easy and don't overdo it. Good luck!

I picked up one of these. It will fill a K12 cylinder to 200 bar in about 60 seconds. Have used it regularly for several months. Loud as a freight train - but works great. So far so good. It does go through output filters like mad (and only comes with six), so make sure you have extras. I also lube ...

The Hoka One Bondi SR Mens arrived a day after I ordered them. They feel amazing ! My wife and I use to run marathons every year and switched from Brooks to Hoka as soon as they were available in the US. Probably 10 years now I suspect. I even wear the Bondi-L (black leather) to work. The Bondi 7 w...

Still WAY out of my league with this group - BUT, the progress remains on a moderately upward glide path. New 6X10 high for me. For January 2022: 489-6X (80-1, 81, 79, 84, 81, 84) Pardini K12 H&N FML 10m ISSF rules, Orion 004C targets Sub 6, HT M 65 USA Targets here: http://www.jimpoulette.com/T...

They sound WAY too squishy to be good for pistol shooting. You may need to try a pair. Until you get use to them, they border on being flat-out (excuse the pun) uncomfortable until you get use to them. Frankly, you simply have to re-learn how to walk in them. Weird, until you wear them a dozen time...

I can identify with the "fussy" guys, but for most here, the two tins of pellets taped to a bent coat hangar will do the job. There are much more important things to work on. Here's my "work of art"........ I was going to put a piece of shrink tube on the hook - but hey, who go ...

Probably at the very top of my list.

Second would be taking focus off the front sight and rushing to see where the shot landed. Very bad.

As long as I know the measurement tolerance, I can compensate for that. Repeatability is something you can average with multiple trials. I'm very satisfied with the Lyman # 7832248. It's tolerance is 0 - 2.2kg: ± 2g. It works well with my DIY 525 g weight. https://www.lymanproducts.com/electronic-di...

Well, for 2021 I finally got serious and swung for a K12 and compressor, started a regular 10m shooting regiment, got my first "all in the black" target, and after 5 months I'm inching toward 500. Personal best is 486-4x. I'll be in the Net Competitor LOC "Rookie Division" (the g...

I guess not.

50,000 new infections recorded in NY on Christmas Eve alone.

Yikes.

Competing? What is that ? LOL ! All points taken. Frankly, I do this for fun - and that's how most of our local "pellet group" members think about it too. No doubt the lighting could probably be improved if you're shooting 10+s for a living. I leave a few light banks off just to save the c...

......Like a quiet empty indoor range, a few decent targets, or a full tank of heating oil (it was 15F here in Cow Hampshire this morning).

Hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas !

I call that "simplicity-adverse" at its finest.

But on the other hand, if you want <1mm CTC at 10m - you'll pay for it.

Sweet dreams ! (The K12 does the same thing......!)

Excellent advice from both brent375hh and rmca, and I'm sure others will add to this.

Hurtigpelikan..............see what I mean !

If You see something obvious with my shooting feel free to comment - I am here to learn! I'm in week 11 with 10mAP - your targets look familiar and mine were very similar. Lots of decent information here so keep you eyes and ears open. I also set up a small range at home, but I'm also told it's imp...
