Re: Thoughts on reforming RF
RF is a event were you find out that you suck very fast. It takes a lot of practice to get ok at it, and a lot more to be good. Excellent is another level altogether... Most people egos can't cope with it. It also demands a lot of ammo, making it the more expensive of the 25m ISSF disciplines in th...

Re: Air Pistol and the 11 ring
The annoying thing is that the Xring, does not coincide with 10.5 (Correct me if I'm wrong).
I also approve of the beer idea!

Just out of interest, what brand of electronic targets are suitable for 25 yard prone?

Re: Pardini SP or SP1 Question?
I had one, it was a disaster. Never again, stick with the mechanical trigger and not have the hassles.
There is a good reason Pardini discontinued it!

Try some SK if you can get it. The lube is more greasy than waxy if you know what I mean!

Re: ISSF Rule 7.4.1.5 - Barrels
I have a silencer insert that fits inside the tube, not ISSF legal, but useful if you train in a noise sensitive location. It can be removed easily, also fouls up a bit and needs regular cleaning.

The air cylinders might cause more problem than the pistol itself.

Re: Free pooters
I've tried CCI "Quiet" in my free pistol (and some bolt rifles). Not super accurate at 50m, but fun to shoot due to low noise and recoil.

Re: Accuracy 4.5 air pellet vs .22 (rimfire) vs .32 S&W Long Wadcutter
I once put my air postol (Steyr LP10) in a machine rest and tested it at 25m. Groups were every bit as good as .22lr and better than .32S&W Long. But, this was on a very calm day. If the wind was blowing then the air pistol would be much more effected than the .22lr. We used to shoot 25m sport p...
