I meant shooting without the cover.

Both eyes open?

Experimented shooting with open eyes, and found that the group shrank. Found 2 main problems: donut shooting: plenty of nines and, worst, the concentration needed to "force" the dominant eye to dominate is enormous. Is there some experience on this? Do not want to reinvent the wheel and wa...

Data venia from the tech people, I've seen a pistol (morini air) shooting with a 12v battery from these remote garage openers. It is a lot shorter, so the guy put in with it a spring long enough to fill the space and make the contact. Last a lot less, but it's cheap AND available in any supermarket ...

Had one for a few weeks, traded for a LP@. The first problem was that it was delivered with a Large grip, instead of the medium of the order. Turned ou that the importer (Beeman) had no medium or small grips. Since I'm here in Brazil the problem was compounded. The real problem: it's a heavy pistol....

Congratulations! Good improvement rate. Now, register into the forum and read whatever technical stuff you can. A lot is in the 10P files, but keep looking.

VAshooter,

If you could built another circuit board, why not maintain the wiring and the socket, so any other shooter with the same problem can solve it just by sticking a new board (made by you or on your specs) in the socket.

Good luck

Just came back from the optics shop. Went ytd to my eye MD and, by testing, found out that a .5º was the best. Had the lens made, got home and found that the front post is not absolutely sharp. Called back the shop, asked if they could make me a .40º. This is very expensive. Ready made lenses appare...

Sorry to say that I found no diagram, Hammerli is gone in support and the documents are gone.

All these top line pistols are very precise, the main difference is a question of opinion.

You have to be extremely careful not to disturb that ridiculus amount of wires. If some of the lower tier wires gets loose ...
