Re: My target, six weeks in
In less than six months since the first time I touched an air pistol, I scored my first 540 :-D
Re: My target, six weeks in
I’m newish to this as well, but that looks like a great score!
Re: My target, six weeks in
Looks good, but all the 7:00 shots suggest that you are still forcing some off. Every time you get a deep 10, think about what the trigger release was like, and try to duplicate that with every shot.PirateJohn wrote: ↑Wed Feb 02, 2022 10:15 pm In less than six months since the first time I touched an air pistol, I scored my first 540 :-D
The side to side variations are usually from grip issues. Keep your finger tips & thumb OFF the sides of the grip.

Got a milestone today. Shot a practice match at home and all of my ten-shot scores were 90 or better
91 91 90 90 93 90 -- 545-9x
