Wanting to start

"My plan is to shoot 10 meter, including rapid fire.", says hermantkoza.

If you mean you wish to shoot Olympic (ISSF) Air Pistol, great! If you want to practice NRA Bullseye Timed and Rapid, great again! But I'm not aware of any air pistol rapid fire shooting of any kind (not to say somebody, somewhere isn't doing it.)

I also mean to say that grip fit is more important than grip comfort, though both together is just fine.

And I'll be looking for your handle in Siordian1's matches here.

Some still shot at club level in the UK with the same kit as the French at 10m but also at our National shooting center at 25m with the British Pistol Club using air, infact the BPC shoots sport and standard pistol at 25m with air in their monthly competitions, with no fiddling with power an LP50 is very accurate at this distance.

Well, I guess you told ME. I had thought that the multi-shot APs were for metallic silhouette games.

Thank you all for your support. I will do the LP50. The rapid fire will be rimfire BTW, the plan being to practise with the LP50 at home. Will get the heavy trigger for practising for rim and centre-fire plus the light trigger for competing and practising AP.
Thanks again

I am an another 49yo that is just like you just got into olympic pistol. I've ended-up focusing on Air Pistol and getting myself Morini 200EI to shoot with. Since this decision came during the lock down and since there is no air pistol range (that I know off) within 50 mile radius from my house - I built one in my basement that is pretty much ISSF compliant.
Been posting to the FB groups the details of the built so if interested just check these links:

So my LP50 and SCATT MX-W2 arrived. As of today, SCATT does not operate on the Android platform so will have to purchase an Ipad or Windows 10 tablet. Wish I could figure out how to post an image. Pretty kule.
Thanks again for all your help.

Scatt Expert runs on Windows MacOS and Linux. An old computer will do the job.

For SCATT Professional you can use VMWare (recommended by SCATT or VirtualBox to run Windows on MacOS or Linux.

There's a free testing version of Windows 10 that you can download and use without having to activate it. If you want to activate it you can buy cheap licenses online.

What I use is VirtualBox, but beware of version 6.1. 6 r137129 of their Guest Additions because it doubles the trace speeds: https://forum.scatt.com/threads/solved- ... ensor.161/

Download Windows 10 from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/softwar ... ndows10ISO

If you buy a computer you don't need anything powerful to run SCATT. I also have a very old and slow computer that I use for the electronic target software and SCATT runs perfectly fine, but my preference is for my powerful Linux computer running Windows virtualized. It is much faster to start and comfortable to work with.
