Obviously a dead thread. No matter how many people are going to disagree ghostrip is 'right'.
BTW, your statement about all these top shooters who use the cheap pellets, my ISSF magazines do not seem to bare this out.

Sorry ghostrip, but chinzing to save $1.50 is never going to get you into the winners circle in any sporting event. The only way to guarantee improvment is to cut out all equipment variables. If you're only competing on an informal basis fine...but if not...you talk of the "ability' of a pellet...

ghostrip...okay so here's the scenario. You're shooting at a blank paper, trying to improve, say your trigger release. An R-10 gives you a 5 shot spread off of a rest of .15" and the Basic gives you .25"(these are only examples, but within reason). You don't feel that narrowing the of shot...

The RWS Basics are great for their cost, but are no match (no pun intended) for a premium pellet. I found that going from the Meisterklugens (a step up from Basics) to the R-10 7gm pellets shaved 10 points off my score. Sorry to disagree Rover but I don't see the logic of spending $1000+ for a pisto...

popeye...guys with your attitude will go a long way to ensuring that this sport dies a long painful death. I guess you just started the sport with no questions and the best equipment money could buy. Unfortunately some of us come into the sport needing some advice and a limited budget. Sure glad I d...

You need to upgrade the rifle at this point more than you need to purchase expensive clothing. Though some breakbarrels are very accurate, you need to have very good skills to get the most out of them, and they aren't really the skills you need for 10m competition when you do get a better rifle. Sho...

Sorry, just an aside...I discovered the IZH website earlier this summer. Amazing how you can peruse the air guns...then switch gears and check out the anti-tank missle launchers.
Only in Russia!

Other than a local group of us who compete on an informal basis, drugs in the system are not a concern (as in doping). However, recently I did myself a slight back injury and I was prescribed a muscle relaxant to ease the pain. What I found interesting/disconerting was that for the two weeks I was o...

If your indoors add emphysema, unless your putting in a very good ventilator.

Well, sometimes when I'm having an off day I call my AP 'you sonofabitch'.
Does that count?

I found mine on amazon two months ago for $35. A pretty fair price concerning the wealth of info in contains. Looking on amazon today I see the least expensive is $80.
For once I did good.
But personally...even at 80 bucks it's a steal.

well, sumbitch. I've been shooting pistol for about 8 months now. Figured the sore elbow was just a result of getting old!

Bob R, you say "Watch any family of three or more and the kids have their eyes on the cell phone and are continuously texting---literally and figuratively "out of the world." The only thing I would add to this is...don't blame the kids!! Every time I see children absorbed in their vid...
