Anyone have any experiences of changing their aim point from 6 o'clock (on the base of the black) to sub 6, (about 5 ring) and how long it takes to get used to it? I have tried a couple of sessions - its between leagues etc so i have a month to train without scoring pressure - and its proving tricky...

mmm LP5s and 50s are a little bit pricy at this point in time. Maybe one day in the future!

so as i thought, i would be handicapping myself a bit using a 1.5kg trigger... thanks for that I will start looking around for something suitable and not too expensive like one of the Czech makes, perhaps.

is it 500g trigger weight for all these 'rapid' events ? Thats where the double action of the ROhm Trainer at about 1.5kg does not help much....

I have an LP2 and i'm into the 560s, but I know I can shoot more with it. However, sometimes the inconsistency of how my hand / grip reacts to the (minimal!) recoil can have an impact on shot position. I'm thinking of getting to 570 before I buy an LP10. A nice incentive :) Have we seen you at any ...

yep that pic was taken in the Seychelles... I have an LP2 and i'm into the 560s, but I know I can shoot more with it.

I wouldn't go for the LP2, its less featured than the LP10 more an AP for beginner

At what level of shooting do you think one would notice the benefits of an LP10 if one is using an LP2?

what David said! 100%

so if moving into one of the 4 emotional quadrants, "angry", makes you shoot better, then I would think results are the issue.

Can you tell me what this refers to and/or where i might be able to see something on it?

thanks

Ed

make sure you work smart as well as hard - just hard work putting it in the wrong direction is worse than nothing at all... I always assume I know nothing and keep reading the forums. I find it amazing how hard it is to have a really clear idea of what i want to do!

Thanks David, I have been enlightened! I'll get the club to order some PL12s, and then work out what the nearest equiv to a scaled down PL17 might be (or even make some up myself!!) best wishes Ed - one last questions ! - I suppose you dont know where I could get the dimensions of a PL17 ? Its not i...

Blimey what a lot of rules ! Thnaks David, I appreciate your knowledge and responses! So if i've got it right - 10m AP Standard Pistol is on a 4/89 (or equivalent) card , 8 sets of 5 in 10 secs each. Sport Pistol is on a 550mm card - is this a PL14 if i'm on a 20Yd range (50m Pistol card scaled to 2...

Hi David

went to the link on the BPC site to the ISSF rules but didn't take me anywhere... Whats the basic format of 25m Sport?

cheers

Ed

Well surely that's the only option? If you need one pistol to do it, and it has to have 5 shots, its a multishot of some type that you use in single shot mode as well. Its an expensive upgrade from a Rohm Trainer to an LP5 or an FWB P55, even if I can find one! Maybe i'll try a 20 shot set with my R...

OK, thanks for clearing that up. Hmmm... that sounds expensive!

I've only done 3, and one of those was iffy!!

I have a really nice 5x10 shot card as my PC desktop - permanent positive reinforcement every time I use my PC.

cheers

Ed

Thanks for that David, I wonder if I could use my LP2 for the precision part and then Rohm Trainer for the speed section, or if you must use a single pistol for the whole thing?

I'll see if I can find out from Stirton too

cheers

Ed

Hi all Are there any competitions I could use an 8 shot magazined CO2 pistol in ? Like - Standard pistol, falling plates, anything? I fancy some of these but they all seem to be based on 5 shots, which sounds like an LP50 or nothing. I am not sure if you can load 5 pellets in an 8 shot mag, or the m...

well I stuck with Ed's advice - one process, dont stop - and got a PB 562 at a comp on the weekend. So I'm happy!

cheers
