It's out now: "Olympic Pistol Shooting", 2013 edit

Also just got the book from Pilk. Have not had a chance to go through the whole thing yet but from what I have read it appears to be one of the most detailed pistol shooting books I have seen, and I have a lot of them.

A mysterious book shaped package just arrived from Pilkington, addressed to my wife. I suspect a copy will be waiting under the Christmas tree. It's going to be an annoyingly long wait...

After a wrapping paper explosion under the Christmas tree this morning by my offsprings a book shaped parcel was flung to/at me....

As a beginner but relentless researcher of written information I think the book looks very promising. A lot of information and graphics that I have never seen before but look very helpful. (edited to add that the explanation of the SCATT color traces is in the text on page 5. The SCATT displays are great to explain what is going on with aiming.)

Apparently that isn't Ulrich's picture on the front cover.

P.S. Now I want a chrome plated TOZ 35.

Mine was under the tree as suspected. It will take a while to digest, but a quick skim has shown a lot of info that it has taken me decades to learn a tiny piece at a time. Having it all collected between two covers seems like cheating....

I'm looking forward to finding some new gems buried inside. I just wish I'd had this book back when I was young enough to take better advantage of it.

I got the book: I am very DISAPPONTED!
Nice pictures but I didn't learn anything new, and I only took the AP in my hand for the first time last September! You can find in the web much more detailed explanations, tips, training advices ( although many of them are in Italian)
The book looks like a continuous advertising for SCAT, which, incidentally, is sold by MEC itself!

The key to the whole book and probably the most important page is the diagram on page 124.

Yeah, he is without any doubt our finest shooting model and we all know, sex sells!

And not to mention here, this remarkable resemblance with the Ukraine world class shooter Olena Kostevych is only by pure chance.

Wish you all a happy new year.

Regards from good old Germany

Guys, I just realised that i did not save the pdf files of most of the training pages which I have read.

In the first weeks I was just googling in English, Italian and German, reading without bothering of saving.

However two of them I have found in my iBook :

http://www.sg-niedernhausen.de/
http://www.airpistoltraining.com/

I like particularly the German one, which I am using for the training.

If I manage to retrieve more, I will post them

This is a great one.... Many of the local Italian club have such a training guide,

Thanks for all of those links, just got to brush up on my translation skills.
Unfortunately Jukka Lahti is no longer providing his online pistol training information. It had some very good content.
Thanks 'therider' and you are welcome.
