That's a very nice group you had going there, Mag.  Stay on that front sight and you'll be crackin' 90's.  I hope to start whittling on the 2x4's Izzy puts on for grips this w/e.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.  Hit the target!  All else is twaddle.

Story and scores............but first a word from our sponsor.......errr, ahhh.........musta been too much tv 50 years ago.

If there is a sticky somewhere that instructs how to post pix, I'd be most appreciative to be directed to it.  Would like to be like the rest of the "gang" and get me tgts out in the light of day, orrrrrrrr   pixels.

But on with the primary intent.

As the BR shooters say, "The wind is your friend".  Have had a decent bit of it alllll day long but it is up into the 40°'s so not bad at all 'specially when you stand two steps in the garage and fire out to the tgt.  Garage is a blend of outside ambient and the house innards, not too bad actually.

Had been whittling on the grips a bit and also set the trigger rearward and heavied it up significantly as I had too much difference between it and the Model 41 Smith.  I'm doing this to help those scores.

I did find out that the super light trigger was allowing me to fudge on my grip (letting it soften up) so that when I increased the wgt, I was moving the gun during squeeze and that is baaaaaad for any discipline.  So, a couple of sight changes later and incorporating a sub six hold:

Izzy 46M, RWS R10 match, 10m NRA air pistol tgt, irons, one hand and a decent 8 shot group yielding a 90 with an X.  The seven and eight hurt like heck.  Both at 1:30 so I heeled the bejeebers out of them.

Just out of curiosity, what are you guys shooting for trigger wgt?  I don't have a set of wgts so I don't really know, just guestimate using the .22 as the base line at around 2.5 lbs.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.  Hit the target!  All else is twaddle.

I am shooting just above the 500 gram min.
The easy way w/o the regulation weight to do this is, get a light food/postage scale, weigh out 525 grams in quarters, put the quarters into a bag with a string on it and a paper clip on the end.  Bend the clip into a hook so it can hook onto the center of the trigger.  Cock the pistol to dry fire, NO pellet. Hold the pistol with the barrel VERTICAL and slowly lift STRAIGHT up.  If the pistol fires you are too light, adjust until the pistol does not fire when you lift the pistol.  I did this once, but I forget how many quarters = 525 grams.

There you are Martin & you are THE culprit who innocently offered me your "really weird looking" pistol to just "try a few shots".  Yah, riiiiight.  I should'a heard the lure hitting the water but when it comes to shooting I'll try most anything - even turning Gene's rifle into a scattergun - well he stopped me or warned me of the results.

Glad things have slowed enough for you to get back into it a bit.  I'm putting my nickels in the sock for a 10m rifle and the sweet deal you got on yours has me spoiled - trying to duplicate it.  That will probably take a while.

OK, wife is calling me to the kitchen............ran out of passes it would seem.

PS.  Your groups look a lot like mine of late.  All definitely right of center and more high than not.  I know you've laid off a while but would you surmise grip?  Taking eye off of front sight at last minute and it drifts up?

Yessir, knew it was a classic heal.  Thought maybe a combo of allowing the front to fuzz plus the pushing before recoil.......healing.

I have one of those analyzers in my box, but hadn't read one that well fleshed out.  Thanks for the link.  I likesta lurn.
