Re: First shot = money. Why?

Awesome advice. Thanks so much for taking the time. I have several more rounds in the 80s today and yesterday so I'm feeling progress. But it definitely doesn't feel completely repeatable. I'll work on the one-thing ata time list you provided.

Thanks again,
Chris

Re: First shot = money. Why?

Just take 10shots and don't look at the target until you change it out. Make each shot as perfect as can be. I wouldn't hold the Pistol up for more than 5 seconds though, think I am 3-4 seconds once the pistol leaves the rest until the shot is either made or aborted. My first target not verifying I...

Re: First shot = money. Why?

Ah. Ok. Makes sense. I started tracking. 5 of last 6 rounds = 9 or 10 on first shot. I have been walking down to check the shots. I'll try it without verification.

First shot = money. Why?

Brand new shooter here...but totally addicted! I'm soon to be 54. I love this FWB P8X! Is it normal that almost every time I load a fresh target and shoot my first shot it is a 9 or 10? Like 70% of the time or more. What are the mechanics behind that if any? BTW, I'm not that good. Most of my 10 sho...

Re: Help please: FWB cylinder adapter for hand pump hose

I took your advice @m1963! Went to a dive shop near me and got a filled, used tank for $175. I was likely going to have over $125 into the hand pump, so I think I did alright. Plus it's the easy button.

Thanks again for your guidance.

Re: Purchasing from Krale

I just bought a FWB P8X pistol from Krale Shop this week. Zero extra fees for me. Shipped on Monday and arrived in SC on Wednesday. Incredible! Super happy with their service!

Re: Help please: FWB cylinder adapter for hand pump hose

Ok. I'll call CC in the am. Thanks again for the advice and the photo.

Follow on question...I'm hoping to shoot this weekend. Do you think my local dive shop would have a DIN adapter?

Thanks @m1963.

A little pricey, but if that is it, that is it. But would this work?
