The biggest problem with Scatt is the origin. There is no way you can talk to them. We have a fiscal situation here in Brazil: importation of software is not taxed, but the hardware is. In fact, they dump 105% (state + federal) on top of the invoce, including freight and insurance. Most of the price...

Thank you all for the trouble. As for the problem of the chrono under fluorescent lights, all we have to do is go to one of the open air lines and use it there. Will paint the walls a sand color to avoid glare. The walls are not very refletive due to the coarse plaster finishing, and the floor is gr...

Lights in a 10 m range

My club is redoing the lights in the 10m range, and I made some tests with a lux meter using fluorescent lamps to light the targets. Found out that I could use a line of HO lamps at the same distance the incandescent bulbs are and get the required level of lux. Big question: Is this solution used an...

which do you prefer, blond or brunnete? It's a question of taste and, mainly, of trying.

Off hand, Steyr probably has better support.

Oz, try to shoot 10's.

don't be satisfied with 9's. remember that 60 x 9's is still a lousy 540 (my present number. Something to do with my birth date...).

But I do shoot a hell of a lot of nines. and, of course, some lesser numbers too..

Did you check the price of an Steyr LP2? Just shot a brand new one and is great.

the price seems very close to your budget...

Forget all bellow. Your pistol is all right. At the first look, I tought that your stabilizer was out of the bolt, but then (after writing this doctoral paper...) at a closer look, the photos are the same. My pistol is dirtier from grip sanding... Just tested my LP@, the screw is the same (sorry), b...

Flávio, this screw was adopted, I think. My LP@ uses the same system and that screw does not protudes like that.

Real on line shooting

There is another post about on line shooting nearby, so this is a quick report of the Brazilian situation. Was written a few weeks ago, but since the idea of the system was being copyrighted I waited until that process was over. Since most of it remains right, let it be. A few more words: In the nea...

It is nice to spot the shots, but how do you shoot a second shot against the glare of the first? Imagine after 5 shots!!

Re: hAMMERLI 152

Jacques, thank you. I took a days leave to sort it out after I heard about an expert. He fixed it. luckily he had a spare cap. He also echoed the warning of keeping the solenoid dry etc. He also suggested that I keep my paws out of the inards of "extinct" equipment. Very good suggestions....

Jacques I didn't see any information about 152 at 10P files. I saw information about model 150 only. If you have any literature about model 152, can you send it for me? thanks Max Stephano (Brasil) Max, found no way to send the file via PM, send me something to jbgros@terra.com.br and I'll send the...

You can find the manual in the 10P files of Pilkguns, will help you understand the pistol. Had one of those in my hands, would not fire sometimes. After cleaning the solenoid it came back to life. Trigger is in 4 groups: 1 - trigger blade and a magnet, that moves by a 2 - sensor in front of it to si...

If you manage to swap the pistols at a decent cost, do it. If not, why don't you keep the LP light? If the grip fits and the pistol is the same but for the ported barrel, don't worry 'bout the weight bar. In fact, the whole thing, bar and weights are too heavy (100g) for me. Removed them from the pi...

Well, don't expect anything better from any other brand. I bought a FWB P44 and it was delivered with a large grip, the biggest I've ever seen in any pistol, instead of medium. Had to sell it and buy an used LP@. Sure miss Hammerli in the 70's, when a letter to the factory produced results far faste...

I built a square box (5mm wood) with very small aliminum channel to hold the target at the front. I fill the box with scrunched up newspaper, lots of it, packed in tight. It's super silent, truly there's no real sound of the pellet coming to rest. The pistol is 10 times louder. Total cost to build ...

Just hope ISSF does not changes the size of the targets, but changes to 60 shots (make a deal in 50?).
