We’ve been assaulted by chbkoiklp457. Hopefully for Xmas we’ll get to watch him die in a fire.

I have sciatica, stenosis, collapsing and bulging discs and what two docs have called “enormous amount of arthritis” in my back and “ the biggest bone spurs I’ve ever seen”. Add to that merailgia paraesthetica (sort of like carpal tunnel where your legs attach to the torso) and somewhat limited ROM ...

Honestly Mr.Gwhite, the amount of experience, knowledge, tips and advice you routinely share on this board is a wonderfully generous gift to every member. Perhaps many of us are so used to receiving these nuggets of knowledge that we forget to say thank you as often as we should. Your contributions ...

I’ve a long way to go too agt.smith, and I have just discovered that I more frequently get a smooth, surprise shot release if I do not take up the first stage and sit lightly on stage 2 as I lower the gun down. I just make contact with the trigger as I raise and lower, and when I’m below the fuzzy b...

Given the cost of replacement ink cartridges it might be cheaper to just buy the targets. If you have a piece of cardboard behind the target/sticker, it makes a decent clean hole.

Given the cost of targets and current supply chain issues, I bought a roll of these 2.5” adhesive dots. They are actually 1/8th inch shy of 2.5”, making them just about 1/8 larger than the black of a pistol target. I find they work quite well, of course you can’t easily score them but you know damn ...

I’m wondering (because I don’t know) if just a higher trigger weight might provide more tactile info for you to work with? Cheap and easy to test at least.

Forgive me for going off topic but when they test trigger weight at a competition, do they test a dry fire pull or with an empty chamber discharge of air? With my own crude testing device on my 46m, dry fire mode is a little lighter than a discharge of air.

Not sure how to put all of this together to form a question but here goes. Without knowing all details of the nerves and muscles that work in concert with one another to control our hands and fingers I understand they DO all work together. For example if you are trying to open a screw top bottle tha...

I have 2 places at home now to shoot but with different lighting situations. In my garage where I only have 28', there are windows behind me, a 3' florescent light directly overhead and in addition to bare bulb overhead in the middle and a 3 watt/30 watt equivalent clip on light aimed directly at th...

I can't give you a brand name, but a two-part kneadable epoxy should be available cheap at any hardware store. It comes in a plastic tube and is one piece. You cut off a piece and knead it thoroughly with your fingers. Press it hard onto your grip and shape to fit your hand. Let harden and file/san...

Yes, breech all the way up, it makes a little click, then when you pull trigger it breaks but at what feels like considerably less weight than live fire.

I'm back with my Baikal46M with Ring grip and I am troubled by the drastic difference between what the trigger feels like in live fire vs dry. It is much lighter in dry fire. I still of course do holding exercises and dry firing. I feel I'm benefiting from dry fire, even just working the trigger bac...

Good point Agt Smith about an empty stomach. It has been studied and proven that being hungry improves concentration. I had my first session with a coach and 95*/45*stance is the first subject I questioned him about. He replied, "if you were 18 years old I would absolutely start you out standin...

Found just this morning. Unfortunately not all vids have English translation.

After finishing a session of dry firing and holding exercises I wondered; While our goal is to grip the gun as still as possible while applying force to the trigger up to and even past the breaking of the shot, while keeping sights aligned. Both gripping pressure and triggering force from hands and ...

Looking for advice on adjusting the palm shelf and "gripping" an AP. I am fairly thin with fat free bony fingers/hands. The pisiform bone on my right hand really sticks down into the palm shelf and can be pretty uncomfortable, yet lowering the shelf seems too unstable. This must be a fairl...

There are shoes for air pistol? Well I never I think this would be at the bottom of the list of things I might need to improve. I'm far from being one who's advice matters, so take a huge grain of salt; I have a pair of CC and they do FEEL better than just a pair of street shoes. I have plantar fas...

What are you pinning the target to; is that just cardboard that gets replaced periodically?
