. . . so when will we see a 600 in MAP . . . ?

Steve

Ah, but that works only after you have thoroughly MolyCryoElectroWhizzified your shooting socks; and only on days of the week that don't end in "-day!"

Interestingly enough, while GWhite comes the closest, nobody seems to appreciate that the *process* of how the shooter shoots has a biog impact on whether or not pellet size/quality matters. If you are not breaking the trigger properly, yes, a tighter "bench rest group" might actually give...

For Montster: It doesn't matter one bit how much "white space" you think you are holding above your front sight. The sight picture difference between a "top of the ten ring" and "bottom of the ten ring" hold LOOKS huge.* You would be amazed at how many people shoot a 7 ...

Do you know why? Why is this "experiment" (shoot for group with an area hold on a blank surface) so popular with world-class coaches? What is the deeper meaning of this (apparently counter-intuitive) demonstration? Why is shooting up to your level of potential so hard? 3 questions, one ans...

Turn the target around. Shoot against the blank side. Focus (physically) on the front sight. Focus (mentally) on maintaining sight alignment. Point the aligned sights somewhere in the general vicinity of the aiming area and execute perfect trigger control when the sights are perfectly aligned (but I...

David: Of course, your 1st/2d stage weight preference is "infinitely" [sic] adjustable. Sounds like you have yours set 90%/10% or thereabouts; mine is more like a 75%/25% split (out of a total 520 grams). Some of our crossover BE shooters at the club try a 30%/70% so it feels like a single...

Stephen: Just PM me - the basics are pretty straightforward: - You have a 4 year training cycle tied to the Olympic Quadrennial - You have an annual training cycle tied to the competition schedule for the selection matches of your NGB - You have weekly/monthly training cycles tied to preparation for...

John Meadth: With a target scoring system, the shot is "called" to within very close proximity to where the shot actually fell on the paper. Target scoring systems have no need for hold tracing, etc. etc. BUT they will tell you exactly where your shots are landing on paper. Target trainers...

" . . . I suspect it is the mixing of sight alignment and target and trying to get them all aligned! (which leads to breaking the wrist)" Pete: Well, there's good news and their's bad news. The good news is what you describe is probably *the most common* way to "Fall Off the Wagon&quo...

"I am really in need of a new AP grip."

What's wrong with the one on the gun?

Steve

(I have grip putty and a dremel tool OBTW)

Pete: I think I've shared most of these before . . . but I teach a whole bunch of drills that allow you to separate the critical "Alignment" and "Trigger" elements of technique from "Aiming" ("Aiming" not only being something you don't want to work on, but som...

Ahh yes certainly. The calculations should only be a starting point. How you actually perceive the sights/target is the important part.

I think I am a 5mm/4mm guy; sub six hold and equal amount of light sides and top.

"Your Mileage Will Vary!"

Steve

David: Oh No! Now you've done it! 2 things to consider; the visual size of the target, and the visual size of the front sight (work with me here for a minute please). - Your exact numbers will vary; but as an example assume your arms are 1 meter long and the lens of your eye is .5m behind the firing...

Bill: A simple "no" (wiothoutt he ad hominem) would have been sufficient. However, a simple "Yes" (based on your answer) would have been more accurate. Isabel: My point precisely is that the shot process is *not* a random trigger release during settle. Your trigger release *must*...

Guest: If I understand your issue correctly, instead of getting a narrower front sight why don't you widen the rear notch?

Ken4all: Agree with David M; and yes, to get the same visual picture you would need a narrower front sight (60%-75% of air sight).

Steve

Alb: We (you and I) on previous occasions have gotten tangled up in what seemed to be semantics; on more than one occasion (IIRC) "vehemently agreeing past each other" so to speak. I apologize for that in advance; as after some reflection I think we may be headed down that path again. Plea...

Jeezum Pete Bill.

Hope you get to feeling better soon . . .

Steve

Anyone going?

What events?

[still trying to decide]

sha3banov:

Please tell me a little bit about your training plan and schedule and I will try to provide some useful ideas . . .
