That thing looks like it would be a monster to shoot!Just got to find a FFL that can order you one up from Lipkeys
Is shooting an airgun under controlled conditions, with the shooter using some creepy eyepiece magnifier device an example of 'shooting' in the traditional sense?I like how people who have never won shooting competitions of any kind, even at the local level, are hating on people who are the best in the world at what they do.
I've got the same basic gun in 45 Colt. Mine is a Stainless Bisley but not a super Blackhawk. I shoot ruger level loads in it being a 255gr SWC at 1200 fps. I know not 454 max loads but plenty enough for me.That thing looks like it would be a monster to shoot!![]()
What, you've never played couch Olympics?I like how people who have never won shooting competitions of any kind, even at the local level, are hating on people who are the best in the world at what they do.
Here is an explanation of whats going on with the shooting glasses. For what it's worth when I got my recent prescription glasses with out knowing all of this I had the bi-focals set for the front sight distance of a handgun. At the time it made sense to me and the eye doctor and her assistant were both shooters and knew what I wanted. I also have an astigmatism so now the front sight is clear and in focus. I have tried blocking my right eye because I'm left eye dominate but don't care for it. Apparently my brain uses the right eye input more than I thought. Plus using both eyes help with moving and multiple targets.Is shooting an airgun under controlled conditions, with the shooter using some creepy eyepiece magnifier device an example of 'shooting' in the traditional sense?
Sorry, but I say no - and is nothing more than a deviation from 'real' guns - and to only maintain a minimal representation of what 'shooting' really IS, or was, in the Olympics.
I have been guilty of that as a E3 though E5....
I hear you. I often shoot, particularly with revolvers, in this manner. No issues with scoring hits.Some regular folks shoot this way as well....
I shoot that way...and usually catch grief from someone at the range with well meaning but unwanted advice of :
"You know....if you were to use the Weaver stance...."
Yes I know all about the Weaver stance...however I like shooting this way...I am safe this way...and I make good hits this way.
Thank you.

Oh my!Just got to find a FFL that can order you one up from Lipkeys

Meh, put a real gun in her hand and drop the dopey magnifier glasses and let's see how cocky she is….
So Olympic events should not be in controlled conditions? That is how you make it a level playing field isn't it? And you've never used a scope for target shooting? I don't see the issue with having a standardized magnifier.Is shooting an airgun under controlled conditions, with the shooter using some creepy eyepiece magnifier device an example of 'shooting' in the traditional sense?
