I shoot only air, so I have no axe to grind, but I do read through this forum a fair bit, and I seem to notice that the MG2 has had a lot of negative press, especially in the early days.

there is a wagon wheel on the targetshooting.ca website that will explain likely causes.

A friend of mine had the same problem (after about 6 months if I recall correctly) on the same pistol/cylinder.

He had it replaced under warrenty with no problems since.

Sounds like they release duds every now and then.

I know from experience that any heavy lifting has a negative short term impact on my hold stability.

Lifting heavy weights for strength is not needed for shooting, and it caused some shakes even a couple of days after the exercise.

What is more important is muscular stamina, not strenght.

Great post as always steve. Simply put, but when you look deeper you can see so many fundamentals coming into play. Realy Makes you think. I also liked Ernies response. Last comp I was a bit timid and my scores amplified it. I know I shoot a lot better when I'm determined and focused (some call that...

Unfortunately no.

I'm still using club guns at present. Paperwork has been held up - 6 weeks and counting. A nice little LP-10 is waiting for me though.

The Yarra open is probably more realistic for me.

I don't know if that was mentioned here or elsewhere but essentially use with care. Rob. Could you please elaborate on the...

You've read, and been told all the things you need to concentrate on when standing to deliver a shot, but no amount of tuition can help you until the penny drops and you full grasp the true meaning of the instruction you are following on faith a...
