Re: Please explain this air pistol silhouette to me.

A few: http://www.pbrsc.org/pistol-silhouette.html http://www.airguns.net/comp_silhouette.php I've shot full sized silhouettes with .44mag and .357 Max pistols. You happened on a scaled down versions to match air pistol size and range. The angled scope mounts were called "ladder mounts". T...

Re: carpal tunnel

I've been flirting with carpal tunnel problems for years. It started when I was shooting enough hardball 45 to go Distinguished, back in 2003. That and tendinitis, great fun. The best thing I've found as a preventive/palliative measure is almost a yoga pose. Hands in front of your chest, palms toget...

Re: TSA locks and shipping

Ammo may be inside the same case as the firearm, so long as it is in a "factory" container. This seems to mean no baggies. Any cardboard or plastic container (MTM, etc.) suffices. Done it many times. I've read of one guy that puts filled magazines in the case, but they need to be taped ove...

Re: The Bullseye Clinic with Brain Zins

If you're out of state, these locations couldn't be any worse! You could do a whole lot worse than Palmyra. It's really a beautiful facility, run by some great shooters. For me, well worth the two hour drive for an air pistol match. Not familiar with a range in or around Cedar Grove, but NJ's gun l...

Re: Well, isn't that special!

But the point to be retained IMO is that the language that was used to disparage the controls and licencing of firearms possession result in the immediate loss of the argument because of the easily shown parallels to every other form of licencing. Except for one very obvious non-parallel. Almost ev...

Agreed. But that never stopped an anti-gun legislator from proposing a ban. Anything they can do to throw a restriction on the law abiding.

Re: Rika Website

I have a Rika system and run it from a laptop. The 8-bit software 3.9 is the latest and the company has no intention of making a more modern version. It will run directly on an older machine that runs XP (and maybe older). It can also run on a windows 7 machine in virtual XP mode. That's what I'm do...

Re: Air pistol to Bullseye...question on sub 6 hold

What Rover Said.

Use your most comfortable and consistent sight picture, likely the same as your AP picture. Once you're shooting small groups, you can fix your scores with a screwdriver. (Not original, an AMU sergeant told me that at a small arms firing school.)

Re: Considering getting the LP400 Carbon

I love mine. Even more than the Izzy I shot my best scores with.

It's going to be a long time before I can use its potential. Weight is easy to add, much harder to remove.

Re: Purdue University loosing its range!

Thank you, Will, I suspected somebody was making propaganda. Facts are much better - even if they don't fit a favored narrative.

Re: Purdue University loosing its range!

Let me guess, they got a new bureaucrat somewhere up high in the administration and he/she doesn't like guns. Same thing happened to MIT several years back. They got a new dean who changed their rifle and pistol teams' status from varsity (supported) to club (unsupported). She also did away with the...

Re: Heads Up On RWS Basic Pellets (USA)

A certain dealer in Ohio has them for $7.29 in the 500 count tins. Buy three get the forth free.
But probably not what you're looking for in your quantity.

Some clown on Amazon is trying to sell them at $12 per tin.

Re: How Much Does Wind Impact 10 Meter Air Pistol pellets

I'd have to say that it would blow the shooter around much more than it would affect the pellet's flight.

Practice in the wind will do you good for bullseye shooting at Perry.

Re-reading, you've only got a 1 point difference.
