Re: Are there particular exercises that can be practiced to reduce firearm wobble?

some isometric exercises are also helpful. You can use a doorway for left and right. I use a bookshelf for up/down at the correct height for where my arm is when shooting. Hold arm out and push up/dn/left/right against the stationary object.

2x per day. 10 reps of 20s each direction.

Re: Dry Fire Advice?

I can’t see how dry firing with a dot sight against a blank wall will tell you anything. You are only looking at one thing - the dot. I’d suggest that you need a mark on the wall, however close, to enable you to determine if you are moving the sight when releasing the trigger. Bob Even on a blank w...

Re: special spectacles for airpistol shooters

Here is a reason for an iris. My lens set up is a stacked 2 lens setup for distance and astigmatism so I can see the dot when I shoot with a dot. Then I use a secondary lens holder to adjust the focus to my front sight on AP, FP, SP, or revolver. When I add the second lens I am now at +1.5. This mak...

Re: Pardini scope ring question

I use these http://www.weaveroptics.com/rings_bases/rings/detachable_top_mount/ Part number 49030 You will need to file down one side so it comes to a knife edge. They hold and provide a very low mounting option for an ultra dot. They are wide so you get more surface area. Another option is using th...

Re: 50m Free Pistol dropped from W/C

BEA, They eliminated 50M prone and a men's shotgun event. The reason was to make equal number of men's and women's medal events. Now they have made more changes to make it so men and women shoot equal number of shots. They then added some mixed air pistol and air rifle events all 40 shots. In the en...

Re: Do Pistol shoes add to performance?

I wear a low profile trail hiking shoe. It does provide lateral stability. One shoe I have found that provided the same stability as a shooting shoe is a Solomon trail running shoe. The shoe seems to reduce the tendency for the ankle to roll which reduces one of the axis your ankle would move in whi...

Re: Varga Shooting Glasses Lense advice

I have been through this over the past few years. -Go to Dr and get your eyes checked -You need to know if you have astigmatism in your aiming eye. If you do then you need a special lens set to your distance Rx. -It is also nice if you can get them to check what your Rx would be when looking at some...

Re: Grip Modifications?

<snip> You need to be able to feel where the grip is apply more pressure in some parts and not enough pressure in other spots. You are looking for equal pressure on all parts of the grip. I have to disagree with this. You do NOT want equal pressure every where. You want equal pressure on the front ...

Re: Grip Modifications?

Gwhite's point #2 was spot on. What I would do is grip the pistol while on the bench then look down range and close your eyes. Raise the pistol into position and then open your eyes and see where the sights are pointed. Do this many times starting from re-gripping the pistol the say way you did the ...

The book is good so far. The format in iTunes is not the same as other books I have read and is a little frustrating since you are not able to turn pages easy. The information is very good and easy to understand. I would recommend it to any level of shooter. 6 chapters in it seems like it would be e...
