This is the kind of ego that took women a century before they can compete with us on the same level.

pretty sure woman and men both shot 40 shot originally.
I prefer that! 60 shots too much

Re: No Mixed Event at Munich?

Then make Free Pistol and Prone Rifle mixed team events instead of duplicating Air gun. This is the best solution to fulfill IOC requirements but obviously that's not what IOC wants. This is just an excuse to remove all live events bit by bit. Look at what they've done over the history and then now...

Re: Which Air Rifle would you prefer?

They are equally great rifle, and shoots better than 99% of the shooters. I shoot with an 800X, loved it, it is the heaviest among all 3, but it is manageable by put some weight in the back. I've handled a 9015 ONE, from a club fellow, the balance is naturally the best among all, means you probably...

Re: KK500 report.

Nice shooting :) I'm also using CentreX. Whatever came off the shelf (not batch tested). Switched from Eley Match when I got the occasional gas blast back in my face on firing. Below is from my last 50m competition card (there are 5 shots in there). My scores have gone up, especially at 50m. Not sh...

Re: Alternatives apart from eliminating FP and Prone

Remember, the IOC (and it seems, ISSF) doesn't want equal opportunity to participate , it want's equal outcome in participation , so an emphasis on opening up events to both men and women as a compromise is likely to be useless...except for a few events (maybe air rifle) where women have demonstrab...

Re: Alternatives apart from eliminating FP and Prone

no air pistol for men?... get out of here also, mixed events are super gay to watch. It's nice to have them, but why have them in Olympics? I wish ISSF would create more events, different scoring systems, teams, mixed teams, men+women events, to see how it goes. Just allow women to compete in free,...

Re: Advantages of clear sights

I have pretty recently put them on my air rifle as where I have been shooting doesn't have the best lighting. I have found them to be pretty good for that. They aren't as "clear" as you would think and still show up nicely. (See terrible photo for bad illustration). I'm not too sure how t...
