Re: Where to get a rapid fire and sport pistol elec trainer?

I have seen and used the reduced targets in the past. I was looking for something with a timer. I finally found some in Europe and also sell them. It is a reduced target that you place on the wall and there is a built in timer with a red and green light that comes on so you can practice your lifts, ...

I also found lots of help from junior clubs and 4H programs in the beginning as well even though I haven't been a junior for decades

John is not only a great guy but very knowledgeable and willing to share all his experience and has been around plenty of para shooters. If you are anywhere around where he trains, he would help get you started.

contact both but NRA won't be much help and you shouldn't need any forms. Find any local club that shoots 10m and you will be welcomed. I'm a T2 and compete in able bodied as well as para events. No difference at all in what you need to learn compared to an able bodied shooter. Many more opportuniti...

Haven't read it but mil-dots are actually used to estimate range on a know size target so you can set the appropriate dope on your scope using the dials.

might try Neil Stepp at ISS. He's a walther guy from that era. He has tons of misc parts and every type of accessory not even made anymore. Unless you are there or ask, you would never know what he has. Might give him a try. The parts you are asking about don't seem like an extra someone would norma...

Is the 50yd bullseye target the exact same as a ISSF 50m FP reduced to 50yds? Have been told they are but want to confirm. Even if the rings aren't sized exactly the same, the smallbore 50yd line is essentially the same as FP except you don't have the advantages of grip, trigger and sight radius tha...

I broke this part off from my Morini at my first match. Luckily I was able to epoxy the piece back on and it has held for 2 years of hard use. Was broke off to where it bit into my hand pretty good. I think you could extend it by maybe putting in a couple small screws sticking out and using Rinks ex...

And how or why do you think this would do anything to grow the olympic or bullseye shooting discipline? Sounds like it will just make more wannabe rambos. One of the reason olympic and bullseye disciplines suffer in the US is because we can buy so many different types of guns/weapons and there are 5...

if he can't estimate the range a 22 will shoot, he wont have a clue how to use a mil dot reticle or have a clue how much the round will drop over distance.

To do it right, you should dremmel and putty every grip. There are plenty of factory grips that feel pretty good but none will ever fit you the way it should. I'm kinda in between a med and a Lg. Had a med AP and a large SP grip. When Rink fit the grips for me I asked which was a better one to start...

plenty of IPC shooters shooting 25m sport and missing a hand. They load and get ready in one minute just like the rest of us. They all have their individual techniques and usually place the gun on some sort of stand where it is upright and can place the magazine and close the slide before picking it...

Wasn't in the market for an AP and was happy with my Morini short elec. After 30 shots, I bought the K12. Recoil is non-existent compared to Morini and trigger feels much better to me. Hadn't switched to it yet because of too many important matches close together and not time to switch while still t...

If you were to put a dial indicator on the barrel by the action and move it 2mm, the movement at the end of the barrel sticking out 27inches would move significantly more than the 2mm at the action. Just think about minutes of angles as it relates to sights or scopes and bullet impacts at different ...

Rover can tell you all about pellets and testing and I can't disagree with any of his conclusions on that topic. The cheap green tin for $5 can and will shoot as good as the $12 stuff. Pilk, maker of vogel doesn't believe in pellet testing for pistols. I have tested several lots of USAS pellets and ...

The proper reduced target should be the exact same results and no more or less forgiving.

Why not call Kruger or ISS and buy the correct tgt. They are extremely cheap compared to what local ranges charge for their targets. You can also just buy the centers and not have to replace the entire white section.

Ans also makes left hand sights and Centra or someone else makes a sight with both left and right knobs on the same sight. Like said above though, all 3 major makers make left handed actions.
