looking at the new Morninis air pistols we noticed also that Morini keeps making and upgrading its Free Pistol
it seems to me, at least in Europe, Free Pistol competition is still a valid/popular thing... sadly, not so here in the US
any thoughts??

Re: How many times you raise your arm
yes, sorry, my bad,,, i found and re read the Yur'yev book,,, most top shooters (from the 1950's) make their shot at the first try. rarely on a second attempt and much rare on the third.. the idea says,, is to conserve energy, and i guess, focus on your first and only shot. do not hesitate i guess.

Re: Beretta 690
i bought an international trap stock from Cole guns, it was made in Italy, beautiful grip, ideal comb drop for Bunker etc. the $800 purchase did not improve my bunker scores not one bit.

Re: Steyr LP grip size?
Hi all, and thanks Andrew for showing us the nice work you do, I will certainly keep your contact info if I need a 3D print grip. Based on the few replies, seems nobody can tell or know how to identify the Steyr Morini pistol grip size. I wonder those selling their grips stating they are M, L or XL ...

I cannot find any markings or anything like that (or will try harder next time, with a flashlight lookin...
