Hi everyone. These are the notes from my pistol training with the Olympic trainer Daniel Goberville I hope they are useful: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-tr ... notes.html

Thanks Ramon,

Very interesting notes and training info. Great insight into training and discipline required to be world class.

Thanks for the feedback. Daniel is definitely worth a visit :) He's given me permission to share the training program he made for me after this session. I will publish it next week.

Great posting. Thanks,

Chip

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Ramon,
Great to hear other peoples training regimens.

I can not thank you enough for the information you have shared with us.
Being an old Texan, there are some things I don't understand. After I study
these lessons many times, I will ask some questions. I stopped shooting air pistol
in 1986 and 32 years later started back. I got my Morini 162el 2 months ago and
shot a 540 last night ( Integer, not decimal ) I love quality Air Pistols. In the 80's
we all used CO2 and FWB 65's as back up. I thought they were great then BUT the new PCP
pistols are wonderful.
Thanks again for the information,
Leadbelly

Thanks to all for your encouraging posts :)

I think you will also apreciate these posts that can complement the training notes:

• Rapid fire basics: https://www.olympicpistol.com/rapid-fir ... ction.html
  A pistol diary to download: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-sh ... urnal.html
  The first training program for air pistol I got from a trainer: https://www.olympicpistol.com/my-first- ... ogram.html

There are a few more interesting posts in the site, and more are to come :) Looking forward to a lot of shooting conversations.

Here's the training program that Daniel prepared for me after this session: https://www.olympicpistol.com/pistol-st ... rvile.html

Ramon op. Thanks for sharing this info. I see things I can incorporate into my own training sessions.

I have been using your posted 100 shot practice schedule.
Since we only have a few electronic target, and those go to the rifle shooters first.
Our paper target systems are right hand crank handles, and in PTO's we only shoot
2 shots on each target. Therefore we have to lay the pistol down every two shots
replace target and crank it back, THEN RE-GRIP THE PISTOL! My current grip does not
fit me that well so I have added a 20 shot exercise I call " 2 by 2's " where I shoot just
like the PTO. This seems to have helped a little.

Hi Ramon, Great articles!! So good to see training focussed on the older shooter, rather than the fit and young. Us older folks find that training has to be a lot "gentler" than what the younger shooters can handle. More reps/lower weights on the physical side, and more/shorter sessions on the dry fire/shooting side. Train to YOUR limit, and don't forget that you are NOT 30 any more. Max.

While there is a rule that you have to grow old, there is no rule that's says that you have to grow up. Tag, you are it!

While the English espoused "growing old gracefully" as a virtue, here in the antipodes we get more fun out of old age by "growing old disgracefully".

My goal is to be considered "eccentric". This allows one to largely do as you please, without getting locked up for it...

Gwhite, glad you decided to join me. I'm afraid our pal William is well past that stage, though.

Can you add some fitness exercise training notes if he suggests them?
Cheers

Also Ramon what does tonus mean in your post ... raise the arm with tonus !

@400driver I will continue adding materials, also for physical exercise, as I manage to get them, digest them and write them :) I have one in mind with a morning routine but I just can't get to take the videos and pictures for it yet.

For tonus means with tension, feeling that your arm is activated, not relaxed. Can a native speaker help me find a better word please?

@leadbelly Sounds great. Good luck with the training. It has helped me a lot.

@madmax My body reminds me of my age without me having to think about it :)

Ramon,
Perhaps feeling the arm tense would work for what you are saying . Raising the arm under tension. Could the feeling be “ locked “ also?

@400driver Yes, you are supposed to lock your wrist but I don't feel it.
