If you are going to run a match that is co registered, of course you will have to abide by the USA shooting rules. You could be right about the NRA pistol committee, but other than the international sectionals, I have never been to a strictly NRA international match. A bigger concern might be how t...

Something that I'm interested in due to my club's activities is how long would it take these rules to propagate to NRA International Pistol? I'm sure I'll find out eventually, but I want to get an idea of whether or not these might hit before our season (figure late January to March). Probably the ...

With responding to Kirtar, almost all competitors will easily shoot a 5 shot series in a couple of minutes. However, what the timer does is allow you to see exactly how much time you have left if you suffer from malfunctions or get chicken finger, blurred vision, or any other problem (such as adren...

6.3.6.7 "Each range must be equipped with a large clock at each end..." Look at that. To be honest, on Standard Pistol the only one stage that a timer might be useful for is slow fire, and I usually don't take nearly the whole time because my shot process isn't that long (I'm also not ver...

The club that I'm a part of exclusively uses CCI SV for practice and competition for both rifle and pistol teams because it is about the cheapest option that functions reliably in all of our guns (including 2 Pardini SP). As of yet I've only seen FTEs and the like on everything except the Pardinis w...

Now I just need to get my air scores more in line with my standard scores (469 standard, 392 air). Just wondering, where does NRA International Pistol actually belong on these forums? I assume here because of the rule set and course of fire, but I do indoor at 50 feet (still 10 m for air of course).

If you want the grip to feel sticky, you can do what the base ball players do - rub some rosin on your hands and on the grip. I tried this for a while, but was not satisfied with the feel. Now I have applied some pieces of abrasive tape in a few areas to keep my hand from shifting. As a violinist, ...
