No other sport accumulates points from the qualification stage, its all about the finals.

The expander is critical, full length and correct diameter.

Re: Scuba tank setup for air pistol cylinder refills
I don't think I've heard of anyone using a regulator to reduce from above 200 bar eg 300 bar to 200 bar. Normally the pistol cylinder adaptor will only fit the correct size scuba cylinder outlet (200bar and 300bar scuba cylinders have different threads so they can't be mixed up in the field) so you'...

Re: ERRANT NINE O'ClOCK HITS?
Pretty well everyone does this in timed fire in all matches. I believe it comes down to how you use your trigger finger Pulling the trigger directly backwards is a complex movement for multiple joints - which are operated my multiple overlapping muscles and tendons - it takes willpower to do this.

Re: Thoughts on reforming RF
Moving everything to sport is probably the sensible solution. It would be nice to keep rapid but sport makes more sense for a lot of reasons. Ditching mixed teams also, does any other sport have that? Hit/Miss scoring in OF - for the rapid part of sport - makes little sense, is tedious to run, throw...

Re: Thoughts on reforming RF
My big point is that the current RF target set makes it impossible for a competitor to own his personal, portable RF bay. Something he can stuff into the trunk of his car, take to the range, practice, and take home. Shooting a match? Everybody brings their bays, and you can have four, six, or even ...

Re: Thoughts on reforming RF
A means to make it popular would be to create a match the duffer brigade can shoot with their 9mm - 8, 6, 4 seconds with two hands is doable. Then they can move on to one hand and .22 I'm surprised CISM hasn't become popular as a means of progressing 9mm duffers into target shooting. As for targets ...

Well I had two Toz 49s for a while.
Typically an S+W with an Aristocrat rib will have a hard time fitting in the ISSF box.

Re: Scoring Limits of a Cheap Gun
Its the same with Chinese cars - good luck getting parts.
I know a couple of people who have had to scrap ~five year old cars due to parts non-availability.

Re: For you point buying morons....
You cannot shoot precision pistol with a pistol that is not a precision tool. A called 10 must be a 10 every time, or else your brain cannot be trained to recognize the shooting processes, images, and feelings that create success. A better pistol with better ergonomics and a better trigger only hel...

Re: Shaking limbs loose before shooting?
I think its important to put your joints through full range of movement, but not those sort of swivelling moves apparently.
Stretching is supposedly better than those sort of flapping moves, but what do I know.

Re: IZh35M going full-auto..
On mine I think a ring wore into the chamber rim at about the same rate as the breach face advanced.
Unfortunately these guns are basically junk, excellent design but terrible manufacturing quality.
Most parts aren't hardened, they wear and deform, there's not much to do about it.

Re: S&W 14 rear sight
Millet ceased manufacture a while ago, you can occasionally find them used. Be careful bending them unless properly fixed, they can snap. Bowen Classic Arms make/made a replacement but won't export, maybe you can get someone in the US to export if they still make them. https://www.bowenclassicarms.c...

Its important to set the targets at the right height, so your gun is at exactly the height it would be on an actual range shooting at the full distance.

Re: FAS SP 602 magazine disassembly
They can be dismantled relatively easily by spreading the sides either side of the cross bar and sliding it out.
As far as I remember I used a flat blade screwdriver of the right width and twisting it to spread the sides.

Re: What's the point of the triggerstop setting?
It help you not notice that when the shot breaks, you can detect the overtravel much more easily than the change in pressure.
