Where to find an Issf measuring device

Does anyone know where one might find the tool used to measure jacket overlap? I have a rough template that I made but it just doesn't seem to be as accurate as the actual device that is used during equipment control.

Does anyone have an idea of when these revised rules will be announced as official? I would assume that it would have to be before January 1 in order to allow sufficient time for competitors to comply.

I've tried to explain what I need to my optometrist, however I do not know enough on the subject to sufficiently explain. Does anyone have a link to an article(s) that...

FWB muzzle tube removal?

First I want to thank you guys (and girls) for all the help with my previous posts. My scores are finally improving once again. My question is regarding the factory made weight/tube that the front sight is mounted to on a FWB 700. Can it be removed to help balance the rifle? It looks like the barrel...

Do you shoot with a fist grip or an open palm ? In the past I used a fist, which helped my problem greatly, but I had a difficult time getting a stable sight picture with it. I am currently using an open palm that is similar to what Matt Emmons uses and I am very happy with it. My only complaint is...

My instructions also say that the system should be used between 5-12m, which begs the question: Is there an ideal distance that the scatt system should be set up at? Responding to the original poster, you mentioned using the device at 3.5 meters. My instructions indicate its use should be within 5-1...

Air rifle offhand tips for tall shooter

Does anyone have any tips that could help me. I am 6'3" and my scores reached 575-577 before dropping and leveling off at around 560. I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to help. Am I too tall?
