Dikec's style and accomplishments are awesome. South Korean women's shooter Oh Ye Jin also had relatively little gear (though more than Dikec) and won gold in 10 metre air pistol. More generally, if look at the various Olympic shooters, you can see that their gear varies quite a bit (with Yusuf Dikec obviously standing out for his lack of gear and great performance). The reason is that the gear is much more about what works best for the particular shooter's focus, concentration, and comfort (probably including what gear they use in practice). The fact that we don't see every shooter using an identical rig shows that whatever "performance enhancement" it offers beyond personal preference is limited. Otherwise, basically everyone except Dikec would use the same "optimal" gear. That's why Dikec himself basically explained his technique in terms that amount to "I just like shooting this way" (ie. Using both eyes and putting his hand in his pocket). In this video, we saw that someone whose shooting experience has been *without* the common Olympic style gear, he naturally did better without them because of his comfort and practice.

[@elgenetiamzon1062]

Another thing to note is that Yusuf Dikec is former military and was probably taught to shoot that way.

people really thought the eye gear was cheating when even the shoes they wear is regulated. they give them identical ones to make sure there's no support in it.

And shooting with a small calibre subsonic, which is much more susceptible to wind, spends a significantly longer time in the barrel, so is much more sensitive to hold than any fullbore shot. Theres a reason besides cost that fullbore competition shooters train with smallbore, it's actually harder to do accurately.

@@atsugnam0is smallbore harder? I’ve shot smallbore for 5 years and fullbore for 1 and I’d say fullbore is significantly harder, although tbf that might also largely be because I’ve shot fullbore once or twice a week for those 5 years and fullbore maybe once a month for the one year but even then I was probably shooting better smallbore after one year then I shoot fullbore now

George Patton shot pistols in the Olympics, but used a larger caliber gun than other competitors. He lost because the judges ruled one of his shots missed completely and failed to mark the target. Patton contended that one of his shots went through the same hole made by a previous shot. Thing is, the holes he were punching were so big due to the caliber, no one could tell if a round went through an already-existing hole.

[@dtcdtc8328]

Too bad they didn't have high-speed cameras that could do slo-mo then...

He probably missed. In US National Match shooting, there are usually some signs that a second round went through the same hole. Usually it’s not perfectly through but even if it is, the times I saw it, the broken paper around the hole was bent back way more than the other holes

On the Ear Protection mishap: I have a story relating to this. I had just gotten my Smith and Wesson 586 and shortly after, a set of nice Peltor ambient sound ear protection. Normally, with my old ear pro, If I needed to go to the bathroom at the old range I went to, I would take one ear off and let the other one hang there before going in. I did the same with my nice, ambient sound playing ear pro with one crucial difference: I could hear everything out of both ears. Yes, the left ear was slightly off since that was the ear which was protected. I entered the anti-chamber of my range, at which I was the only person shooting at that time, and made my merry idiot's way to my revolver, loaded six rounds of .357 magnum, and pulled the trigger. As the world faded away, my right ear did its best impersonation of the most popular letter in the English language, the letter E. For several minutes, my ear would not stop informing me that the letter E was quite excellent, and above all other letters it could ever impersonate. When the ringing finally stopped I was at home, in bed, and very, very annoyed with myself.

Physics teacher here... Looking through a pinhole makes the image look sharper. Its scientific! In fact if you lost your glasses and your eyesight isn't insanely bad, making a small pinhole out of your fist can help you see (or if you want better clarity). That said if you have perfect vision, whether naturally or with glasses/contacts, it probably won't help much of sharpening what your focusing on. But another thing it also does is the exact same as a camera. Seriously take your camera your using and take two photos, one with an fully open aperture and another one with it small. Depth gets blurred with a large aperture whereas with a pinpoint you can have the gun and target both in "relative" focus. The issue is though, how do you normally shoot? Two schools of thought, focus on front sight letting target being slightly blurry or focus on target letting sights be slightly blurry. Either way, if you switch to using the an pinpoint aperture to bring them more into focus, you aren't use to it.

Winchester 94 with iron tights, And a model 70 in 30-06 with a weaver 4 power scope. He had a square steel Target hung up on a tree 100 yards away that was only like 6 in tall. Every hunting season he would load up each gun and take a shot at that piece of steel and I can't remember a single time where he missed. That's how he made sure his guns were sited in. Sometimes he would show off and shoot with a 30-30 over his shoulder backwards with a mirror. Never seen him miss. He had a little 2-in barrel k-frame 38.

You have obviously very limited experience of precision pistol shooting - A moderate club level 10m pistol shooter would consistently be shoooting 540/600 or better on that target.

Scott needs to look into SDI and there business model. How do you have an Online Gunsmithing School that has no tools for students to use? Gunsmithing is a trade skill and therefore should involve time in a shop. Furthermore, they prey on GI bills for an Associates Degree that has recognition issues within the industry. Many KZbinrs have dropped SDI for this reason.

It's the same reason why "ITT Technical Institute" went bankrupt and why we no longer see the commercial advertisement for it on TV or social media anymore;because people had gotten suspicious about their questionable business model started doing some investigating,and had discovered that ITT Technical Institute was really nothing more than a scam.I think doing an extensive & thorough investigation;into SDI's business model & and practices,will reveal SDI as being the same type of scam that ITT Technical Institute was.

8:37 that gear isn’t for performance it’s there to counter eyesight deficiency’s. The blinders are for if you’re not right eye dominant and the iris isn’t for magnification it’s basically acts like an aperture in a camera to shift your DOF so you can focus on the target. The other bit of gear you see is the lens and that’s just a perception lens that you can position so the centre of the lens lines up between your eye and target because in glasses the lens’s distorts at the edges.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

I've had a few goes at 10 m. air pistol. That is indeed the standard target that you see in this video. You get 60 minutes to fire 60 shots with the highest possible score being 600. One thing that I can tell you is that a 2lb. pistol gets very heavy after a while when you are precision shooting. My scores were in the low to high 200's. The world record is a staggering 594. Just think about that for a minute. The only way to achieve that is to hit a 7/16" portion of the target 54 times with another 6 shots hitting the 9 ring. Incredible.

[@maximilianmustermann5763]

I said it in another post, if Scott could keep up his 44 out of 50 for 40 shots (lower-level tournaments) or 60 shots (higher-level tournaments), his result would be 352 (for 40) and 528 (for 60). That would be very respectable results, although it wouldn't even nearly get him to the German championship, let alone the olympics. The qualifying number for the German nationals was like 570 last year. And then, 40 or 60 shots is not 5 shots. You can make 5 good shots, but then do it again eight or twelve times in a row. With the 40-shot series, the pros often shoot more than 400 because the inner ten-ring counts more than ten, it goes up to 10.9 for the inner X. The fact that the rings drop to 594 for the world record shows you how much these additional 20 shots are eating at your accuracy.

[@davidbrayshaw3529]

@@maximilianmustermann5763 You know a lot more about it than I do. I've played the game only a few times. That's enough for me to know that anyone can string together a few good shots. As you point out, doing it one after the other in a timed event is another thing altogether again.
