Holy sh-t, have you seen the finals in the womens air pistol from china? If not, you must go to http://www.issf.tv and take a look! The 10'th shot in the final is a really interesting one!
I've been in some stressful situations, but that is one nervous moment! =)
A stressed and pressured situation!

Yes, Kent, exactly- increased spread *although* from a "drama" standpoint maybe the men should begin shooting 40 shots!
The Morini issue boils down to the marketing of the "short" version in my mind. Due to "inertia" with competitors and their equipment, for a new pistol to get traction it usually takes (at minimum) a "generation" (ie the time between a junior becoming an olympian) for the new equipment to show up at world cups. Has the 162 Shorty been out long enough for a 14 year old to turn 21 and be competitive at WC level? The influence of coaches slows the adoption process down even further . . . a young shooter will typically switch to whatever his/her coach or national team coach is recommending.
The bottom line with equipment adoption is not striclty a matter of "which is best;" since the top guns offer very similar performance characteristics in the first place.

I counted 4 Steyr LP10 (Jesna Sekaric used her "gold" LP10: http://www.steyr-sportwaffen.at/crm/pub ... scarlet.be), two LP1, one FWB P44 and one Pardini. I think it was the new Pardini K10.
The scores were indeed amazing: 2 time 386, 5 time 385 and one 384: only two points of difference and seven of the eight finalist within one point.
The result of the final was also amazing: 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th places with only 0.1 point difference !

OK, I clicked on the link to ISSF-TV, but each time I run the video it stops just before the fourth shot (just over 28 minutes from the beginning of the video). What do I do to get the full 10 shots of the final? Is it just my lack of computer skills or a harware problem or ...?

The current run-time format for the ISSF TV is a pain.
- The lead-in runs too long and is on EVERY event
- The conversation section before the shots are fired is too long (particularly after the lead-in)
- There is no Fast Forward, or Fast Back (that I can find) to jump to the bits you want to see/hear
Does anyone know how to save (and edit) the file? That way I could get to the bits I want (i.e. the shooting).

Daryl achieved best 10 shot string i Beijing, 99 pts !
Daryls hands very steady in Beijing today:
SZARENSKI, Daryl USA 94 95 99 91 97 94 570
Note that 3rd 10-shot string, 99 pts. Impressive.
No other competitor was able to equal or better that.
Daryl got a "flyer" in the finals, which dropped him down to 3rd position.

Yes he is. Toz action with (I believe) an Anschutz barrel. I had a chance to handle it during the FP clinic at Benning last year. Great balance - for those that do not like a muzzle heavy pistol. Lighter than a Morini.Steve Swartz wrote:Just curious . . . does anyone know if Darryl is shooting one of the AMU-built FrankenToz designs?

Probably has more to do with where the WC's are fitting in their training plan. Most of the top athletes are training to peak at the Olympics so these WC's, if they attend, are more training than anything else.jipe wrote:Globally, the scores in the final of all competitors in AP (men and women) wheren't that high and many shooters made some poor shots (one or even two 8.x in the final 10 shots) what usually doesn't happen in WC finals.
Probably the pressure or also something to do with the shooting range itself ?
