I don't want to ruin the book for anyone so don't read any farther if you don't want to know more. But is this the book where the two buddies find the wreck and dive on it for years trying to find out what U-boat it is and one of them dies inside the wreck and the other has to go down and retrieve t...

I was at the local range the other day practicing service pistol and shooting slow fire and doing ok keeping everything in the black at 50 yds. A guy a couple lanes down was shooting a 1911 with two hands at about 10 yds and I heard him say "this thing punches really small holes I cant see wher...

There are a couple of guys I shoot with that have IZH's and several other air pistols and I keep trying to talk them out of their IZH but so far with no luck. Maybe tomorrow i'll bring some crisp new $100 bills and see if that helps any. The Tau looks like a nice gun but the last thing I want to be ...

Tau 7 or IZH46

I am looking for an inexpensive air pistol for my dad and brother to shoot. There is a Tau7 match for sale for $450 which would be about what an Izzy would cost. Is the Tau a comparible pistol or would I be better off getting them an Izzy. I thought I heard somewhere that the Tau's were really loud....

Todd, I would say that your eyes are adjusting just fine it is you that is taking time to settle in. If i'm reading between the lines correctly you are getting point of impact changes 5,10,15 minutes into shooting. From your previous posts about not having enough time to practice I'm betting that yo...

This is exactly why the medals are given out after shooting the match and not before. Medals aren't given out on how people are expected to perform. You have to actually do it and that is what makes it exciting.

Like Taz side R=shooting right L=shooting left. The way I remember the H (shooting high) and the T (shooting low) is if I need to go down I want to go down in the Hole and if I am shooting low I need to go up to the Top.

freepistol question

First off let me say that I shoot freepistol but I am not a freepistol shooter. We have 4 or 5 international matches a year at my club and I shoot them because I'm there. 2 years ago I bought a TOZ for $369 from CDNN and have never shot it because I need to get a left hand grip for it. The guy I loa...

Nope its a wad gun with bumpers. When I got metalform to replace the magazines that came with my Range Officer i thought they looked a lot like the ones for my Baer. So I took the bumpers off and viola the were metalform. Doesn't matter what brand they are to me, they work and thats all I need to kn...

I have a Walther SSP and really like it. Very reliable and eats every ammo that I have given it. Great sights except they have to be adjusted with an allen wrench instead of a regular screw driver or better yet finger adjustable like my LP-10. It is very adjustable in every aspect:sights, trigger, g...

agreeing with Russ... I think

First off I would like to say to Russ that I don't find his words offensive or hostile. I feel that Russ is pasionate about his coaching and has high expectations for his students. His students should have the same expectations for themselves as well otherwise whats the point of hiring a coach. I do...

Trinity,
From what I remember that screw is very hard to turn with the spring pressing against it. I think I took the stabilizer out and held it between my fingers and then turned it but it wasn't easy. Scott

Rover,
I think the lp-10 stabilizer is effective and you can definately tell a difference if you shoot without it. So effective yes, necessary or even helpful??? I shot a few shots last night without it and they were tens but only a few and that is definately not a fair test. Scott

Trinity, Check out all those videos a better knowledge of your pistol can never be a bad thing. You might be having the same problem that I had with mine. Your stabilizer might not be moving. After watching the videos I decided to take the grip off of mine and see how far my stabilizer was moving li...
