I was looking for training material and came up on MEC Shooting Pistol Olympics and TrainingsBuddy Anyone have experience with TrainingsBuddy material? I see Ramon has a review but given the examples he uses it leaves me wondering if it would be $$ wasted vs more guided training beyond dry fire. Esp...

Re: Help with SCATT Mx-W2

After trying a few more targets, distances, and lighting—I thought, why not give SCATT a large white backdrop? So I printed a bull on a 36x48 sheet of paper at FedEx, adjusted lighting to 1000lux(not lumen!) And it WORKS! So happy I can get it to work now! Now to find the smallest amount of paper th...

Re: 25m RFP Proposed changes

I see ISSF voting ends Feb 6 and it isn’t the final say on what’s to come

Does anyone know when they actually decide to keep or change 25RFP?

I want to know so I can get an order for a Pardini in sooner vs later

Re: Help with SCATT Mx-W2

Try some other lamps. Or during the day just to rule that lamp out. I have seen it have issues with specific (often LED) lamps due to strobing that is not visible to the eye. Do you have any recommended lamps to buy? I’m happy to just buy a specific light if I can make it work—just like my SCATT LE...

Re: Help with SCATT Mx-W2

When you are in calibration and the preview mode box is unchecked, do you see a red dot when you are aiming at the target? Then when you shoot, does the red dot register as a calibration shot? On PC I was in calibration with preview mode unchecked I’ve never seen a red dot in SCATT Expert for iOS, ...

Help with SCATT Mx-W2

I can’t get my SCATT Mx-W2 past calibration. It can detect a shot as indicated in preview mode and the sound bar being exceeded but it won’t read the target no matter the distance or lighting I have SCATT’s proprietary LED Box and tried it in total darkness and with light. Different backgrounds from...

Hey m1963 Thanks for mentioning the Meritec, so far SCATTUSA hasn't responded to my emails or picked up the phone on why my MX-W2 won't work /w their LED Target and I was thinking of trying the Meritec.

The tail is my attempt at Cesare Morini’s custom grip as described here with photos: viewtopic.php?t=43166

Re: Is this beavertail legal?

By as much as I can see from the one picture and your description I would check that it would fit in the 420mm x 200mm x 50mm equipment control box and assure that there is no downward sweep moving backward from the web of the hand. See page 383. https://backoffice.issf-sports.org/getfile.aspx?mod=...

Is this beavertail legal?

Over time I've been touching up my grip as I realize air pockets in it. It feels really nice now but I'm unsure if this long of a beavertail that touches is allowed. It doesn't touch my wrist and there is no downsweep from the center bottom of the tail

Re: Scatt USA not responding

As an update, I ordered through Shooting Sport Depot and it shipped from SCATT warehouse when it became available. I love that I have it but I don't love that I can't get it past calibration! I even purchased the SCATT foldable LED thing and it doesn't work with that in a variety of lighting situati...

1) Curious if anyone got custom Rink Grips and doesn’t speak German. Their website says translator aren’t allowed and I would love a custom grip from them.

Rapid Fire events

I checked ISSF website and am having a hard time finding events for Rapid Fire

USAShooting website doesn't seem to bring anything up except for a training event in Feb earlier this year

Where do I compete in Rapid Fire style that's hosted at the Olympics, particularly in the USA?



Thanks,

Re: Home Live Training Systems

If time is the limiting factor, dry fire with the SCATT. It's very quick, and you don't have to waste time fiddling with pellets, filling cylinders, filling scuba tanks, etc. That’s the plan! But it’s mentally refreshing to see progress or lack of, hence looking for a live fire platform. AP Ranges ...

Home Live Training Systems

So I’ve ordered a SCATT and realize that if I want to test my progress I’ll need to shoot more often. With time being the limit I’m looking at: MegaLink https://megalink.no/info/en/issf/3d-score/ and SQ10 https://sportquantum.com/en/sq10/ I’ve seen posts comparing megalink and SIUS but not these two...
