Re: 2020 Olympic to drop FR60PR

This might be interesting stats as it relates to the discussion regarding mixed events. It's not completely up to date though.

Re: TRIGGER HAND GLOVE

I bought my glove directly after the comp (AR) where I put a pellet in the carpet because I slipped on the grip with my sweaty hand... I use a golf glove instead though (on my second one now), very thin so you don't loose any feel but with enhanced grip. Just cut off the trigger finger and you're se...

Re: some AR standing findings. Yr opinons pls

1. Absolutely. Everything you do effects NPA, some more than others. 2. If I understand your question correctly; the difference in forearm angle/hand angle is what makes one hand position easier to relax than another? As you change position on the hand you change the angle of your forearm (unless yo...

Nice idea, I like it!

There aren't a lot of info out there so looking forward to see what you'll do with the format.

Re: Standing Revelations

My single most important revelation was to create a position in equilibrium. This might sound as such a basic fact which everyone would know but before I reached one, I hadn't understood the importance of it. Together with the equilibrium, the path and guidance I received to develop this position is...

Re: standing air rifle pulse

You already gave the answer - your pulse! Depending on your contact point at the hip/abdomen and around the chest area (right side), the pulse may move the rifle in different directions than you're expecting. However, with a proper position, it shouldn't be larger than of academical interest (the ho...

Re: What I see in my sights

And finally - after taking a shot, close your eyes and if you can see an afterimage of the sight picture then you aimed for too long. Coming onto aim, looking away and then looking back might help but once that picture is burnt into your retina then you can't be sure WHAT you're looking at... Your ...

They should be ambidextrous, my 2005 model is definitely so since I've done it!

I have also cut off the sides of the round piece so it's now straight and won't get stuck on the diopter.

No, not live. You can however watch all final events on the ISSF's youtube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/issfchannel) a couple of days after they have finished. Subscribe or check ISSF's website for updates.

Have you tried moved the right foot forward? and is the heel higher than the front of the shoe?

I can't raise the sights anymore because then it goes outside the maximum height when shooting under ISSF rules. You can, however, place the buttplate higher and not have it so deep into the shoulder as now. It's generally a good idea to have it fitted tightly, but if you can't get the rifle high e...

Warm up has a few different properties to it; warming up the body, getting mentally ready for the match and letting the body move in the direction you want it to during the match/training. Stretching a muscle does not warm it up, moving it does (jogging, walking or just moving it around in a specifi...

About rules for the trigger hand glove: I've always assumed they are the same as for the normal glove with the important one being no adjusted fit around the wrist (velcro etc). Personally I think a standard golf glove works really well, thin and well-fitting. Just cut off the trigger finger for con...

Loading lever doesn't clear the rear aperture when pushed forward (it needs modification). The hand rest is slippery, had to make one out of wood instead.

I don't have any input on the 300/400 question, but as the left handed version of the 800 goes, it's quite easy. The only thing you need is a left handed pistol grip. Both loading lever and cheek piece can switch sides (the cheek piece has two different profiles and built to be able to turn around)....

Well, there are three things you/she can do. Start by optimizing the shooting position for postural control. Less base sway will give you a larger window for taking the shot, which is what you're looking for. Also make sure the position is set up correctly each time (unconscious adjustments to overc...
