Hi, This friday i'm going to shoot a match, wich uses kansas targets, can someone tell me what that kind of target that is? Looks like pop-up taget.

I caught myself focusing on dot.... big no no... More practice eh? Thanks for your help. I have the same, interessting post I also use to shoot standard. The way i shoot my targets at 25 meters is, first i spot the target then bring the dot on the target en watch how the dot lifts of the target to call my shot. So that is actually a shift in focus i guess? But a lot less shift then with a standard gun.

Thanks all, it's solved! As always it was a small problem The halve shaped moon was facing the wrong side Thanks again!! Now i broke 2 decappingpins in 200 rounds, pff next challenge

I've been trying for 3 evenings now, nothing seems to work. Only the first primer works, the rest are collectet en trown out from the bottom, 4 at a time. The primerslide does not close on the way back and the machine blocks, then i have to move the lever by hand a little bit with verry little force, to unlock the machine. There are two things i can think of 1.There is a screw under the shellplate that you can turn, what does it do? 2.The springs on the lever that closes the primerslide are worn out. Anyone??? ps i did all of the above, accept order a whole new unit

Hi, There where about 15 primers in the tube. yesterday a friend of mine hes inspected the machine, and he think's that it is the litlle rubber on the end of the primerslide. The machine can not make the entire stroke. Could this be possible you think? I did not can off with solvent because there is nothing to see and it moves smooth

Hi All, I have a problem with my 1050. Last week i had a primerdetonation while reloading. The innertube of the primermagazine was broken, so i replaced it with the one from my 550 (wich are the same i think) But now the magazine releases one primer and then stops, iv' e been trying for 5 hours. The slide on the bottom can move freely. Is it possibele that the blast broke something else? The only thing moving the slide of the primer is the lever that is attached to powderreservoir i think? Suggestions anybody? Greetings Patrick van Hoof

Great tip Graham, thank you! I will try it with my times for a while and see iff it works for me

Yesterday i trained 280 rounds at 16 and 20 meters and i shot only 10 c's. Splits where very slow, but i could track my dot a lot beter and i know where my challence is..it is my grip, i tighten my grip very much when ready to fire the next shot, it became clear on shots at 20 meter where i did not want to shoot a c and movement became clear. Split times where .65 for certain a hit on 16 meter and .76-.79 for a-hit on 20 meter. That is very slow i think?? But it's a startingpoint. What splittimes do you guys shoot at these distances?

(You can also determine your Natural point of aim by doing a few draws on an object like a picture of your boss on the wall etc) Haha i like this drill, keeps me motivated! I use to shoot standard a lot and i tranfered to open al couple of years back and i have only been shooting matches no traning at all. Now i am training again and i start noticing all kinds of things, like the dotmovement and that my grip changes whan i actualy fire the gun. Tonight i will try the timingdrills and stay very aware of the dotmovement and take/use the time to put the second shot in the A. I have to train my subconcious again. I will let you know what i learned.

Thanks guys i'll let you know if there is any improvement in recoilcontrol.

It doesn't matter if you are shooting the gun upside down with your weak hand....the bullet impacts where the sights were when it left the barrel. Full stop. End of story. Yes that is true, but there is to much movement of the sights and in match i probably don't wait for the dot to return to the alpha, resulting in these bad shots. So i think there has to be a way, to decrease te movement of my dot. Tomorow i will experiment with grip, stance and recoilsprings, to see if there is a difference in movement. Because the spring of the recoilmaster is very light and maybe it's to weak. I can't find the timingdrills are they on this site?

Hi guy's thanks for you input! Having the gun set up to your natural point of aim helps a bunch. Point shooting an open gun is a lot harder than point shooing a limited gun I will try this at the range, to see if te shot is to the left and low. The recoilmaster doesn't break if you adjust it a bit, make it the same as a normal guiderod, remove a little bit from the back so you create room for the barrel when you fire the gun. What also can be the problem is that the disconecter mailfunctions due to a sharp edge, because sometimes i notice i have to pull the trigger a little harder as usual. Or maybe this is all in my head and i overgrip the gun to much, i don't know but i'm gonna find out.

Hi All, I shoot an SVI open gun with a light STI recoilmaster and my second shot is a consistant 7 o clock charlie. Could this be because of the light recoilmaster? When shooting fast splits on close targets it get's worse, but also on a 25meter target i see my dot after the first shot return to low c on left zo i have to overcompensate and this can't be te way to fast shooting. I also use thumbrest but i try not to push to hard on that. What should i do, experiment with different springs or can you guys recommend drills for this challenge? How did you experiment with this?
