sin_istra, i happen to be unable to close my master eye. and i don't wear an eye patch (like lavi). i just use a blocker. and you are SOOO wrong! shooting isn't just about the skills. it involves the body as well. how your body balance, how you position yourself to minimise energy wastage etc. shooters have to build up a lot of muscle, because we can hardly move for the entire competition (females 1h30 minutes). especially for air rifle, 'cos we wear the suit, which restricts our movement (cannot sit down. i even have problem drinking water 'cos just can't get the bottle near my mouth. gave up on that already). that's why we need to do so much of muscle building, and need to know parts of our body etc to shoot well

it seems our shooting are totally different.. you use an air rilfe, i shoot with a SAR 21... do you have scopes for air rifle? what's your normal range? what's a blocker? man i'm turning this thread into an air rifle thread haha... sorry lefties...

haha c'mon give me some face leh... i'm a company marksman; certified SSG69 user, also known as the sniper rifle ;D

welcome musicroxster!

i think we shoot like 10m? or was it 30m? i do the indoor air rifle, not skeed. blocker (is what i call it, don't think it has a name) is just something that blocks my right (master) eye, so that i don't need to close it. because, by closing it, my left (non-master) eye will be affected, 'cos the vision will be different. you know, like the vision will shift left or right (depending which is your master eye). okay, i'll give you face *slap a face on the computer screen* haha! anyway, what's your average? mine's 9.5/9.6

anyway, musicroxster, hello~~~~

sin_istra

??? huh what average?

haha thanks for the face

haha sorry it seems our shooting are totally different...

first of all, i shoot from at least 50m, to 500m...
secondly, i shoot in both closed terrain and open terrain; wind, rain, sunlight can affect your shooting in the latter...
thirdly, i don't normally shoot in standing position haha... i'm normally flat on the ground while shooting...

but do you do moving targets? is your weapon heavy?

~requiescat in pace~

hooolahoop

that's because YOURS IS SNIPER. sniper is not supposed to be shooting near what. of course min. 50m. the better snipers can go up to 1km and still kill a person. air rifle used to be done lying flat on the ground, but nowadays upgrade to standing. not sure which is better though. btw, i don't do moving target for competition (tried before). and you can't do moving targets wearing the suit, you'll get bruises (i got bruises all over when i take out my suit)

sin_istra

haha m16s1 also got no scope... also minimum 50m!

okok... i'm sure proning position will be the best shooting position... the position with the most stability...

damn the moving targets are really difficult... then you still got to take into consideration the wind direction, sunlight blah blah blah...

how's the recoil of the air rifle? anyone tried air pistol?

~requiescat in pace~

hooolahoop

me! i tried air pistol (but totally sucked at it. coach say i not enough muscles, so i went to gym for muscle building every fortnight) it's very scary!!! 'cos it's like, you shake shake shake shake shake... and maybe because my master eye is right but i'm using left hand, so it's very hard to make my shooting perfect.

there are two types of moving targets: indoor (called moving target) and outdoor (called skeed). indoor is equally hard because the moving targets overlap (so if shot wrongly, will kenah some other target instead). outdoor, you need to take note of the sunlight, the wind, the speed of the skeed etc.

and by recoil, you mean the jerk when you shoot out?

sin_istra

yep, recoil...
sar21, m16s1 recoil very little... but ssg69 quite fierce! had aches below my shoulder for days haha...

skeed is what? the flying thing? disc is it?

haha i have problems with normal moving target, not to mention overlapping... luckily there wasn't over lapping targets for my training...

recoil is dependent on the weight of your weapon. the lighter it is, the higher the recoil. also, for air rifle, it is dependent on your posture, and how you place your weapon against your body (the rifle is suppose to be like a part of your body). for me, i don't experience much recoil, 'cos i add weights to my rifle (which by then will weight about 4kg plus, i think) and i have fixed posture and position for placing of my weapon on my hip (suppose to be waist area, but i don't have a waist and waist too high for me). the less recoil you experience, the more stable your shooting is, and the more bull's eye you get.

skeed.... ya, the flying thingy

moving target is more about timing. you have to know the speed of your shots, approx. how long you need for it to hit a target. then you need to observe the movement of the targets, so that when you shoot, you won't hit the wrong target.

waaaaa. tok bout gun boh jio ^^ da gun mastar is in da houseeeeeeeee~

cool eh. SSG69 australia standard issued sniper rifle.

body positioning is important for air rifle. not real rifle.
pron-ing postition is the best way. ( got a bipod even more steady la! )
fat people can control real rifle better cause the fats can absorb the recoil ( LOL )

im a air-rifle shooter as well. yishun safra.

shooting is fun *_*
