No way that's "just a weight". Ralf has been known for creative engineering for some years now, I have one of his .22 short - barrel shrouds, which was the true predecessor of the now very common linear absorbers. If you look at the pics of the last two years, his new Pardini had a silver coloured bottom plate on that huge block, which was obviously detachable, so there must be something in there. Seeing that everybody else, including Tesro (from Germany...) is working on some kind of spring powered pendulum, I wouldn't be surprised if something like that was at work here. But I'm not surprised either that nobody knows for sure :-)

Talking about records, if you scroll down to position 21 in the Rapid Fire match in Milan you find the name of, IMHO, the greatest ISSF pistol shooter ever; Afanasijs Kuzmins.RobStubbs wrote:Records are made to be broken....
On the assumption that he will fill the RFP Olympic wild card quota place given to Latvia, Beijing will be his 8th Olympics. His first was in 1976 and the only one he missed was 1984 because of the USSR boycott.
Is 8 Olympics a record? I'm pretty sure it is for a shooter but how about other sports.
Schumann sets new record
Dear Stan and Steve,
The difficulty of the new (since Jan 2005) ISSF Rules on Rapid Fire pistol seem the be reflected in the amount of MQS results attained by the World's shooters:
pre Athens (old rules) Jan 2004 - 135 MQS scores attained
pre Beijing (new rules) Jan 2008 - 80 MQS scores attained
It sure is a much more difficult discipline sice the Rule change to Standard Pistols
Just my two cents worth

Since Skanaker didn't get permission to use his personal wildcard for the 2004 olympics (and later on quit competing at that level becuase of this and therefor wont go to Beijing) Kuzmins 8:th olympics will probably be the record.David Levene wrote:Talking about records, if you scroll down to position 21 in the Rapid Fire match in Milan you find the name of, IMHO, the greatest ISSF pistol shooter ever; Afanasijs Kuzmins.RobStubbs wrote:Records are made to be broken....
