You need only look at some of the more successful British athletes at the London games to see that a number of them weren't 'home grown'. There's a big difference between "importing" athletes and allowing them to live in your country or granting them refugee status (at the age of 8 in the...

If you're refering to Dina and Lalita, I'm not convinced that importing athletes does any good for the locals. The only countries that don't import athletes are those that either can't afford to because they're preoccupied with feeding their people or have such a large pool to draw from, think Chin...

We know them as the "Rustralians". I'm not convinced that importing athletes does any good for the locals.

Who is "we" ?

In aus there are 2 female shooters that are played by some kind of sports commission I think around 65k a year If you're refering to Dina and Lalita, last I heard was that Dina was receiving around $50k per year but Lalita's funding was pulled 2 or 3 years ago. They do get their air fares, accomoda...

might not be exactly what you want, but they could get you started.

My personal favourite for a bit of fun is a rather well endowed Koala which along with many other targets may be found here.

When I straighten my arm and wrist just before raising my AP, the front of the gun (well, the air cylinder actually) will still be resting on the bench, but the grip won't. At this stage, the pistol will most definitely be pointing into the bench or to the floor. I'd need a *very* tall bench for th...

For those of you with an iPhone the ISSF just released their iPhone App. The app is pretty good, it has shooting news, videos, photos, comp. calendar, and shooter database. I hope they add the rules later. Thanks for the heads up, Richard. It has a few bugs (has crashed on me a few times) but it lo...

Any way I found some really good deals on some FWB 65's in Australia. http://www.texgunsupplies.com.au/hguns.html At the current exchange rates the guns are about $308 US dollars each. May I suggest you shop around a bit more? $360.00AUD is not what I'd consider a good price. Last I heard, my club ...

I'm not clear on how these rules for air pistols are made by the various countries such as Australia and the US States. The rules are made by legislators with no knowledge of firearms or airguns, attempting to appeal to a large constituency equally lacking in knowledge of firearms or airguns, by se...

If you are free to fire an air rifle outdoors, say plinking targets in your rural backyard, then what is the difference if you use an air pistol instead? And then the same thing inside. Apart from Class A/Class H licensing requirements.. In Victoria at least, it is an offence to discharge a hand gu...

G'day, I've been lurking in this forum for a while, so today I've decided its time to post. I own two Uniques, a DES-69/U and a DES-32/U. Both were purchased from a deceased estate. Both are fitted with medium size grips which are too small for me but the cost of a new grip in Australia, is around o...
