There is nothing wrong with cross eye dominance. You will probably have to open your stance a little, especially at first, as the muscles in the neck will tend to pull your upper body and arm if you try a straight 90 degree stance. Another thing to try, is to put your non shooting hand into your wai...

"I think I need a new eye Rx as the sight is a lot farther out there than on the Hammerli. It is time for that eye exam anyway." An eye exam is always a good idea, but the LP10 also has 3 positions for the front sight to go, as well as a lot of adjustment on the rear sight assembly, so yo...

Did I miss something? I thought you wanted to test these pellets for use in your AR rifle, not your pistol?

I am right handed and right eye dominant. I shoot rifle right handed. But I shoot pistol left handed using my right eye. And I cannot shoot that way using my shooting glasses. Even with the correct prescription. I can only use my normal prescription glasses. However, occasionally I shoot pistol righ...

Two 10's with 1 shot?

Decide to shoot my AP this afternoon, so grabbed my pistol and started to warm up. I felt comfortable after a few shots, so I went up to exchange targets, and this is what I saw. No doubt about it as being a ten, but the question is do you get to count the shot as two 10's, one going in and one comi...

Shooting an LP10 outdoors is extremely quiet at normal pellet speeds. (However, as the speed increases, so does the report. If the speed of the pellet gets up to around 590 fps, it sounds more like a .22 short.) The only thing I have heard that is quieter outside is a fully shrouded Daystate and my ...

IPshooter You need to use Fimo or Sculpy 2 found at any craft store. You can mold it, but it is not soft. You bake it to harden. You can sand or drill, or add additional layers. You can use it as a permanent solution if you want to, or you can heat it again to remove it. Can be stained to color matc...

Here is the link for California statues, and the guns are permitted. They are listed under Vostok. Is there a different list? That refers to importation?

Take a couple of days off. If you do a lot of shooting, your muscles will fatigue. When you come back in a couple of days, see what happens. If your first targets are OK but then stringing starts again it is time to reduce shooting time. 98 % of the time, when I start stringing vertically, it is bec...

Grip issues

Jack, Had some of the same issues you are having. I was able to adjust the 2 screws on the back of the receiver so the sights lined up, but then the cocking lever would hit the grip because the angle was too much. In addition, I had a cant that I could not adjust out using the 4 bottom adjustment sc...

Shoes?

In watching the video it looks like Ekimov and Gourianov are wearing regular shoes. For some reason it immediately caught my eye. You can see at the beginning and about 32:25

You seem to have the old version. The glasses are obsolete now. The new one incorporates a camera which activates the electronic trigger as soon as the pistol aims at 10.5 or better. Unfortunately the current software does not take muzzle movement into account so it is possible for the shot to end ...

I want one!! That ought to get my scores out of the 520's. Does it come in Titanium? Roger[/quote] It's a carbon/titanium mix! The manufacturer says no to gun pics, but here are the glasses. Notice the green center on the close up. That is lit when you are on target. Once I adapted to it I raised my...

I think they probably saw the new 600X prototype from the new kid on the block. This is the one that the new ISSF rule is aimed at. It has a special electronic gyro and aiming system, as well as microchip pellets, and ANT unit, but the cool part is the special glasses that come with the gun. They ha...

Let's see now. Steyr says that all present Olympic and World Champions use their products. Hmmm. If they want to say the same thing next year, they better hurry up and send me a new LP-10E, since I plan on being the next World Champion :-) And there are a few others I know that aspire for the same t...

I just checked with Pilkguns yesterday on deviations for my LP10. I was told it should be 10 fps or less. I would think the LP50 should be the same.

Yes, the silhouette matches are tough. It will take some excellent shooting to post a good score.
