Here in the USA, we often forget, or are unaware, that target shooting is still a VERY popular sport in many parts of the world, as it once was here. (A century or more ago, major shooting events were front page news here in the USA. They even ran more trains from New York City out to Long Island fo...

Hello Everyone, Thanks for the requests for the articles. The most recent installments discuss an alternative way to think about improving, discuss two of our Bejing medalists - including their own comments, and present an interesting way to think about higher "levels" of performance and c...

Abhinav Bindra put the gas to the metal, and just shot a fantastic final. Congrats to him! One of the best/exciting finals performances I've seen. Those of us with longer memories will remember him posting to this forum several years ago asking for advice. The question is, did he take it or did he ...

Sadly, River Bend Gun Club no longer has an air gun program or range. A high school team, such as the one at Roswell HS and many other area schools, is only for students of the particular school. Is this for an adult shooter, or a junior? I am not aware of a program/place for adult shooters. For jun...

Abhinav was in the US residing at the OTC for some months prior to the 2004 Olympics. Prior to that he was training in Germany. He did not train in the US prior to the 2008 Olympics.

About 2 months ago I received a phone call that ultimately led to my becoming the international rifle and pistol coach at North Georgia College & State University (NGCSU) in Dahlonega, GA. (Yet another volunteer "job" on my plate!) They want to raise the air & smallbore rifle shoot...

Hi Booker, Glad you liked the article. Our TT host has the series on his site at: http://www.pilkguns.com/jpindx.shtml There are now 6 more installments in the series that I am overdue in sending to be posted. I agree with Nicole Hamilton - any exposure is not wise from a safety point of view. We sh...

Hi Ed, Yes, what Fred said! He made an excellent point about needing to have total confidence, having a few bad shots and then not ever being able to work with a method again. We must allow ourselves to make mistakes - sometimes lots of them - in our trianing, especially when experimenting with a ne...

It has been interesting to read Ed's recent long thread and this new one on similar themes. My sense was that some folks did not deeply understand (or maybe did not agree with) some of Ed's ideas.. especially about letting go of active control of both trigger and sights and letting the deeper parts ...

Hi Tor and Par! Could you post the outcome of the test in the article you mention? Certainly the recoil energy generated by a particular cartridge cannot be reduced with weights and springs. However, the force-time profile of that recoil might be changed to spread it out over a slightly longer time ...

It is interesting to note the recoil systems being developed for the new RF guns, such as the Tesro RDS and the as yet unknown "Schuman" device. The Walther GSP Expert has 2 spring loaded cylinders as a recoil system, and an optional weight adds 2 more of the cylinder systems. If memory se...

Hi David, I am not aware of air pistol competitions in Alabama at this time. Hopefully another TTer knows of some and can help you. Tony Wood coordinates some international pistol events in Birmingham, although air is not one of the events currently offered. You could contact him to see what their p...

Thank you, Tarket Talkers, for your great response via post reply and email to my earlier posts looking for a place to shoot for a Japanese Paralympics shooter in California and a college shooter in Georgia. We are now looking for a place to shoot for another college student who is a pistol shooter ...

Thank you for the information! It is very helpful! I sent you a private message to follow up.

Thank you "j.edwards" for the information. It was most helpful!

A college pistol athlete (air and .22 LR) needs a range for regular training during the school year in Statesboro, GA, or Savannah, GA, or somewhere within commuting distance of Georgia Southern University. She is attempting to obtain permission to again use the range at the school, although this is...

A friend of mine in Japan has asked about training opportunities in the LA area for a Paralympics shooter who is relocating there for 2 years while her husband is here in the USA on assignment with his work. I am aware of some junior shooting clubs further north in California, but no ranges in the g...

FYI. The university has not done a good job of spreading the word.
