Re: Hammerli Free Pistols

Ahm, the Hämmerli 150 was definitely not used (nor made, not even invented) in 1964, it’s a child of the 1970’s.

Re: New Morini Air Pistol - CM200 EI

What's this Training Mode thing?? It says "Training plug with random function". Francesco Repich from Morini had this idea already some years ago. The random function switches to dry fire trigger now and then, which will show, if a shooter pulls the trigger smoothly and without adding any...

Re: F In A Pentagon

It's indeed F for frei/free *) - applied by the manufacturer on each airgun under 7.5 Joule, but only after the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt in Braunschweig) has given the approval based on own test with 5 sample guns. So in Germany we have (contrary to UK and maybe other countries) a ...

Re: New ISSF Rules - Partial Summary

to it's most logical conclusion, the media do NOT want to see shooting at all. Hm, we in Germany (and many european countries) saw each final of the Olympic shooting events in TV or at least in livestream coverage via the websites of the TV stations. The Final Archery Women had a quota of 9 mio vie...

Re: Blocking branding on equipment in the Olympics?

Let me just state, that we as manufacturer weren't happy at all about all the stickers on our WALTHER -guns - but the rules are fixed since 2012 (last edits). The only thing was obviously, that some guns were taped more than others, but where will you complain? If you are clever you would place your...

Re: ISSF Report - Summary of IOC Sports Department - ISSF Mt

How the hell is someone supposed to know about shooting if you type "Steyr LP1" into youtube's searchbar and there's exactly ZERO videos about the pistol? Maybe because the Steyr LP1 is around 20 years old and surely not state of the art since many years? The follow-ups are LP10 and now t...

Re: Well done Torben

I think Walther is being sloppy not posting this news in their website sporting achievements section. All you can see are the 2015 results. You would think 3 WC wins with their new rifle would be worth some self promotion. It normally takes about 1 hour or so, until one can read competition news at...

There is a life behind the olympic rings... ;) Think of how much fun Standard Pistol, 300m-shooting or Centerfire can be. And Free Pistol and prone shooting will be popular in most countries apart from if it's an olympic event or not - we have an increasing number of Running Target matches here, on ...

Re: ISSF Report - Summary of IOC Sports Department - ISSF Mt

The ISSF headquarter has never been in the country of the president, always in that of the Secretary General (last 5 decades Ernst Zimmermann Wiesbaden/GER, Horst Schreiber/Munich, GER, Franz Schreiber/Munich, GER) - so there is really no need (or no wish, as much as I know) to move the headquarter ...

Re: ISSF Report - Summary of IOC Sports Department - ISSF Mt

I just noticed in the Anderson blog that Gary Anderson's son owns Orion, of the scoring system. This 'triangle' does not make me feel warm and fuzzy about the ISSF! You can be pretty sure that no other scoring system apart from SIUS will be chosen for important international ISSF competitions, even...

Re: My KK500 has arrived (in California)

If I can come back to the original thread and deliver a fresh pic of the two trigger versions, mechanic (left) and electronic. The markings might have changed a bit since IWA show, but screws and function is the same.

To clearify it: I don't like the music, either. At World Cups in Germany there was only intro music "Hells Bells" (at least until last year, we will see in Munich next week, if it has changed), and no music during the comments. These were only during the sighters and then between the compe...

Re: ISSF Music

Most of the shooters say, that they are encouraged by the sound, that they use it to concentrate even...
