Re: E targets for new range.

I have worked extensively with the SIUS targets since 1996 World Cup and Olympic Games in Atlanta. I also work with the Megalink targets at the OTPC in Colorado Springs. So, I can speak to both systems. Never have worked with KTS, so know nothing about them other than by rumor and second hand inform...

Re: Has Anyone Dealt With Pardini USA?

Vladimir and Alex run a good operation. I've done business with them multiple times over the years. They love junior shooters and bend over backward to make sure they get what they need. I'm a fan.

Re: Help-Kruger paper rolls and masks

I need to order air pistol masks for our SIUS targets. It sounds like the consensus from this thread was to order direct from Kruger, but that was 9 months ago. Just wanted to check if anyone had any more recent input on the subject. Thanks! Have you contacted Jeff at SIUS USA for the air pistol ma...

Re: Who can afford this?

You are absolutely right Joel. The campus is totally in control of what USA Shooting can and can not do. USA Shooting is just trying to conduct matches. All the pandemic protocols are from outside their control. And to Xman's contention that the selection process is only for the elite, that has not ...

Re: Kurger targets are no longer accepted by the NRA

I have no idea why the NRA would ban Kruger targets. But if you are looking for an equivalent high quality target to the Kruger, those targets made for Orion are top notch. I have no idea who makes them. But Champions Choice sells them.

Re: Winter Airgun Pistol National Championships a “Go” in 2021

So, everyone is able to shoot all three days in all the events. If anybody else can questions, they can send me an email. Breanne.orey@usashooting.org So, how many nights do I reserve a hotel room? Instructions still ambiguous. You can do like I did and ask her! I got a response within an hour. But...

Re: Winter Airgun Pistol National Championships a “Go” in 2021

OK. I got tired of the speculation here and decided to go to USA Shooting for more information. I sent an email note to Alex who happens to be out of the office the rest of the week. But he left the email address of his assistant, Breanne Orey. So I sent her an email explaining the confusion around ...

Re: Training Diary

There are a lot of things a person can log in a diary. Here are a few that we have our kids focus on. Settings - For rifle this is VERY important. Every item on the rifle must be in exactly the same place as the last time you set the rifle up. Changes - Things like changes in equipment set up. Chang...

Re: Overview and options when sr

For EST, consider the SIUS Lane option. Use your own laptop for the firing point display. It has the ability to test pellet group sizes. It runs right around $2000 plus shipping. A lot of folks use this with air rifle and air pistol, and it can even be used for .22 smallbore. Contact Jeff at SIUSUSA...

Re: Sius electronic software

Your old matches are in a file under SIUS/SiusData/Data. They will be in CSV format. It will give you the shot number, the x and y coordinates, the "r" value for the radius away from the center, and the score in integer and in decimal. It's ugly, but it is all in there. If you are running ...

Re: Airguns for beginners

Pardini Kidd. The NTCSC uses these extensively in their junior pistol program. Good support from Pardini USA. I think they are about $1000. Contact Pardini USA for exact price. Also, as was stated in the OP, there are a lot of great used pistols out there. I have several FWB and Walther CO2 pistols....
