Paper scoring at PTO's ???

What is the procedure for challenging the scoring of a paper target? I had an issue at a PTO, where I was scored and 8 and there was no 8 or lower on the target.

I stopped shooting air pistol in about 1985 but started back November 2017. Now I am 72 and classified as disabled in electric wheel chair. My local club do...

Re: Olympic pistol training notes

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...

I've got to many answers - please clarify

Which target is used for Std Pistol and/or Center fire.
We use a 25 yard range, not 25 meters. I understand both
matches use the same target. What is the target model # and
a good source to buy them?

Morini CM162 Grips

Anyone know where I can buy a medium right hand grip for my MC162EL ?
I don't think I need the electric trigger part of the grip, mind works great, but the
large size was larger than I expected.

Re: Help My New Morini mc 162el has a problem.

Take the grip off remove the electric trigger system in the grip. Used a can of compressed air for computers and blew out everything, especially while moving the lever up and down. Also used some 90% alcohol on Q tips and cleaned everything I could reach. If you have a Morini MC162el, they are reall...

Re: Help My New Morini mc 162el has a problem.

THANKS EVERYONE. I called Champion's Choice, and they said they send all their guns to PILKINGTON for repair. I called and talked to a great gunsmith at Pilkington (forgot his name), he explained exactly what to do and all ok now. Shoot over 120 pellets last night with no problem. Thanks PILKINGTON ...

Re: New classification

Rover, you will have to give me a little more time, after a 32 year lay off, it's hard to shoot with only one hand. I got my Morini CM 162 el Feb 13th this year and I am just starting to average close to 90. Last night I had one 10 shot target at 93. These new PCP guns are so superior to our old CO2...

Re: Disqualified at Canadian Grand Prix. Any help is appreci

Have you ever noticed, if you're a crappy shooter, you can break all the rules and no body cares. But When you are winning some ones say you must be cheating. They tried to DQ me after setting a new state record. I had the rule book which show no rules were broken. Then he said I was a professional,...

Re: Help My New Morini mc 162el has a problem.

Does the loading lever freely rise approximately 60-degrees, then "Lock-up"? Basically freeze in-place, so you have to force the lever up from there? if so . . . I've had TWO 162EI's doing the exact same thing. I'll bump a prior thread on galling, and oil on the loading lever channel. Thi...

A friend wants to sell his Pardini SPE ??

He is bringing it to me tomorrow to inspect. What can anyone say ( good or bad ) about this model pistol? He says he shot it in bullseye matches 12 or more years ago. What little research I have found is that many parts need to be replaced every few years. Also were all Pardini SPE's really Pardini ...
