Can I just make a quick observation that you may not have to use a trainer if you can set up some sort of range inside your house with an electronic target and a pc/laptop.
Hi
What system are you referring to, this sounds less expensive than $1000 for Scatt

An electronic trainer works on where the gun is pointing and can calculate where a theoritical pellet will hit. An electronic target tells you where a real pellet has hit. The theoretical and real pellets can occasionally be in exactlly the same place on the target, but extremely rarely[/i ]. Hi Da...

Benjamin Thanks for input, not of much concern to us me personally, but can anyone clarify what the position is in The States re airguns being firearms, I thought I had seen a few other posts saying they were firearms in the States, or maybe its just in some counties. Over here silencers on field sh...

Thank Mark for the feedback, 8x quieter that's some difference, its almost silent when I listen to it being fired outside from 10mtrs away.

Thanks Bill, told you I was no expert, anyway I re read the link and maybe every 10dB increase is double the perceived sound to the individual not every 3dB which is double the sound energy, dont't know what the difference is but anyway it was quieter with the silencer.

I wonder how many shoot pistol in the house/loft just for the hell of it as against those that travel to events and take it very seriously. Anyway I took the noise readings of the 46M albeit without firing a pellet, I'm no noise meter expert so for those of you that subscribe to "noise meter mo...

With the moderator/silencer on, not a great deal with or without a pellet. If you give me some time I'll see if my noise meter works (havn't used it in 8 years) and although it won't mean much it will give a comparison before and after, watch this space.

SHOOTING AT HOME

Hi all Hope this picture comes through I've never sent one to the forum b4. I am always careful I don't make to much noise at home but especially when shooting, I don't think most neighbours would be too happy at the possability of being shot through the bushes. Most peoples view of a grown man firi...

I've only just started with air pistol (IZH46M) but its comforting to know there are other like minded people out there who just have fun shooting at home, myself I can get 10mtrs in the length of the kitchen but I open the french doors and position the targets two mtrs outside with a piece of 8ftx4...

I shimmed mine the same day I bought it. I pushed the handle forward then inserted a piece of plastic 25mm square from a clothing tag between the top of the handle and the bottom of the rear sight. Its solid now. I also had to adjust both sights as they were out of square.

sights are square why

I seem to be digging myself into a deep hole here, It was only a simple question/observation. I'm not doubting ISSF rules here of which I know virtually zero, simply asking why 10mtr pistols have square sights and most non-ISSF guns ie air rifles (without scopes mounted) have v-sights that includes ...

sights are square why

I have just bought my first pistol for 10mtr (IZH46M) but there doesn't seem to be any decent air pistol clubs in the South Yorkshire area of England, I've been to 3 rifle/pistol clubs but they were all miserable and dark and smoky and mainly frequented by rifle shooters, maybe I am expecting too mu...
