Many thanks for your replies.

The iPhone option has well and truly been filed under "don't even think about it" :)

I can put it into Airplane mode which effectively stops it from being a phone and it would not be able to recevie texts etc. - or am I asking for trouble going down this route.

Alternatively, suggestions for a timer please ideally available in the UK :)

Cheers

At the last competition I was at, my first one, I noticed a lot of people using countdown timers.

Rather than buy a timer, which I think would be useful, are there any rules which would mean I can't use my iPhone as a timer - obvisouly set to silent ;)

Many thanks

Hi, I am looking at possibly buying a couple of filters for my Knobloch glasses. I recently shot at a range where the lighting was much brighter than I am used to at my local club. This prompted the filter purchase. However, on visiting Knobloch's website they seem to have two sorts of filter - 'sta...

Hi David, Thank you for the heads up. Do you know whereabouts the BPC Clubhouse is at Bisley? I have only been once with my son and had a quick walk around. Very interesting 'colonnial' style buildings all over the place. My son had an experience with the electronic targets which was a valuable lear...

Hi, I am just about to enter my first competition :) I was just wondering how people prepare for a competition day. I am not thinking of the weeks of preparation/training beforehand but more the night before and the actual day. Things like types of food and timing of meals, warm up exercises both ph...

Hi flolo,

Thanks for your reply. Just as a matter of interest, what pistol did you go for?

Thanks for all of your repsonses guys - much appreciated. Having look at my trigger last night I don't have any more adjustment to take it back. The main problem I have is that I have short fingers. I looked at Mannel's website with a view to possibly getting a new grip because they state "The ...

Thank you for the replies. LukeP - it is not a problem with the trigger being 'sharp', its just that I have the sensation of feeling the edge more than the flat part of the blade. That feeling sensation sometimes takes me away from my normal shot preparation process - more of a mental thing really b...

Hi, I am shooting a Steyr LP10 and wanted adivce on its trigger. I currently have the blade at fully square to the barrel. However, I notice that my trigger finger does not fall 'flat' on the trigger - I can feel the edge of the trigger. I feel as if I need to angle the trigger blade to the right bu...

Could the spam be removed by the mods?

Hi, Thanks for all of the replies. Yana - I am a member of AirgunBBS, a great BBS, but it definitely leans towards FT and HFT. There is a forum for target shooting but what I really need is face to face coaching/advice. David - I use Stirton quite regularly. In fact that's where I found out about th...

OK, I've read this thread over and over.

What is smoking your sights? I've never heard of it before and I am intrigued.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply. One of the things I would like to find out is that I am left eye dominant and shoot right handed. I do use a blinder on my left eye. My natural point of aim also sets the pistol so that the barrel is not in line with my arm (my feet end up being at roughly at 45 degr...

Hi David, Thanks for your reply. I am taking my son down to Bisley in January for Scout National Squad Training. The same weekend is also holding a British Pistol Club open competition so I am entering that (will be my first shoulder to shoulder comp!). I will try and see if I can get an appointment...

Hi all, While I know this is mainly a USA based site I have seen a few guys on here from good old blighty. My question to them is where can I get an accredited coach to look at my grip and stance etc.? I started shooting in May and have managed without any formal coaching to get my average up to aro...

I too have wanted to put the new compensator on my LP10 for no other reason than it looks cool and at 28 euro it won't break the bank. I have amproblem though, they only do them in silver and mine is a black bodied LP10 with black air cylinders so it would look out of place. As soon, and if they rel...

Hi,

Could anyone tell me if there is a difference in the actual frames between the Knobloch K1 Rifle and the K1-P pistol frames? I know the lens holders are different sizes but do the actual frames differ?

Many thanks for any help with this.

Good article here that covers the stance amongst other stuff as well:
