Target air pistol, the hardest discipline to master? I might regret this...

[@dominicking1530]

You are one of the most informative air gun KZbinr because there’s no opinions,only methodically gathered results.I’m liking this new target pistol side quest aswell👍

[@tillysgunstocks]

Thanks mate I really appreciate that thank you 😉 Yeah this is 100% unexpected,a month ago I'd never had odds it..bit I'm so glad I've got stuck in as it's really challenging me 🤠😆

[@tim8166]

10 meter air guns, pistol and rifle, are extremely addictive and great fun. I’m fortunate enough to have a basement large enough for a full 10 meter range. Best of luck to you!

[@tillysgunstocks]

That's awesome mate, luckily the club is not far away from home and the 10m ranges are almost always quiet. It's so addictive right now as I'm frankly rubbish..😆 I'm making steady progress though which is really rewarding my end 🤠😎

[@hammyh1165]

Another technique to try is set your sights to hit centre when you aim at bottom edge of target, it can sometimes be easier to hold a focus on the edge rather than centre of the target.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Absolutely mate, I've been trying different sighting positions . I'm going to attempt to mark up my sight elevation adjustment (a bit like a top turret setup) so I can make quick adjustment depending the type of target I'm on at the time 😉

[@2967575]

I used to compete as a Paralympic in 10 meter air pistol its hard to master thats for sure theres a minimum qualification score for every match anywhere from 540 to 560 depending on how important and big the event is , its a 60 shot game 10 shot every target and you got an hour and 15 minutes ( 75 minutes ) to finish and if you qualify you enter the finals and its a total different game by itself 8 top shooters and 24 final shots your heart is gonna pump so much blood it’s unbelievable and the crowd just go crazy clapping and cheering it’s hard to stay focused

[@tillysgunstocks]

Wow that's awesome shooting mate! I'm going to buy a load of the proper 10m targets so I can stick to the correct type for the foreseeable future and hopefully work on my technique a lot..! It's great feeling so green to the pistols,I've a lot to learn and up for the challenge 🤠😉

[@garymurray5361]

Excellent, looking forward to following.👍 Well done Tommy.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Cheers mate! i didnt see it coming but ive had more fun shooting the pistols the last 3.5 weeks than ive had in ages!

[@boristabacsplatt6609]

Good start to a different type of shooting. I've been using a cheap Beeman P17 SSP for several years using ISSF targets at 10m, with the bull at 140cm high. Here are some tips I found useful... Practice little and often when you start. Video each session and review to spot any issues. Trigger pull is important and getting the blade angle and skew correct for your finger helps avoid pulling/pushing off target. Setting the trigger correctly is also vital. I like the first stage to be about 30% of the second stage which should be as close to the minimum of 500g as possible. Finally no alcohol or coffee less than four hours before you shoot🙂

[@tillysgunstocks]

Oh well that's that out the window then mate. No coffee for 4 hours 🤔😆 I'll make a note of your suggestions,thank you 🤠😉

[@boristabacsplatt6609]

Ha ha. Could be worse, you'd have to give up much more than just a coffee doing some sports😮 Printable 10m Olympic targets here..."craftygeek.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/A4_10m_Air_Pistol_Target.pdf"

[@davidpaylor5666]

I tried it, I love the pistols but I just couldn't hit anything. I am in COMPLETE awe of anyone who competes in this discipline but it isn't for me. I could barely shoot a paper bag off the end of the muzzle.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's definitely one of them sports that looks easy but in practice it's about the hardest I've encountered so far. It's amazing though just over the last month I can see some decent improvement in technique and muscle memory. Hopefully the £2 coin groups arent unrealistic 🤔

[@simonspain6080]

LOVE how you just never stop wanting to learn...take chances....experiment! A true sign of intelligence and creativity...I'm just like that...haha....humble with it! LOL....no...but I mean that! I have a collection of vintage FWB, Walther and Anshutz target pistols...pcp...spring and CO2 and I very rarely get them out. The first 2 minuets of your video made me interested again....yes....hugely difficult but fun and really satisfying. Thanks again for more inspiring videos and ideas....that's 2 beers I owe you now! 🙂 Happy New Year to you and yours and the very best for 2025!!

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year mate, I can barely sit still most the time. Always trying things and testing things but this pistol lark is something else! It always looks so easy yet is probably the single hardest air discipline going. I'm making steady progress already which is cool. I never expected it but I'm so glad I tried it out as I'm really enjoying it 😉

[@simonspain6080]

@tillysgunstocks I have an obsession with scopes on target pistols...on all pistols..LOL! Have a few powerful pcp pistols that I've fitted long eye-relief scopes to and love that challenge....Weihrauch HW44...Benjamin Marauder pistol....even some of my older target pistols. In the US it's much more normal and after seeing an old FWB 80 scoped I just loved the look...and crosshairs held still with one hand...haha...best with two! I'll keep a keen eye on this great new development in the channel. 😃

[@Esoxlucius51]

variety being the spice of life ,I bought a reximex mito & the amount of fun i have with it has added another dimension to my hobby.Although im not into formal competitions its very satisfiying shooting with a red dot sight with no magnification and hitting where the dot points-looking forward to your next vids.

[@tillysgunstocks]

I didn't have a clue this would happen mate,I've never really been into pistols but the challenge is huge and it's really grabbed me 🤠😆

[@davidbooth60]

Drifting into pistols myself Not dedicated target pistols but co2 springers and bb's Great fun Enjoyed the video 👍👍👍

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's a slippery slope mate. I really fancy an SA pistol now for some outdoor silhouette type stuff😆🤯

[@pjgtech]

Appy new ear and thanx for the vid mate. I'm not a big fan of pistols either, but somehow ended up with five of them, a while back! Lol. Now back down to just two, keep us updated with your progress. I'm intrigued by the AA Precihole guns, so good to see peeps actually using them. I may end up buying one at some point. Cheers

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year mate! I never had any inclination to shoot pistols but now I'm absolutely loving it. It's crazy hard and that's probably why..I love the challenge 🤠

[@philsouster7221]

Great if ot helps you get better use of your hand, keep us up to date on the pistol build and the grip builds.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Hi Phil. I really hope that it'll help get some of the feeling and dexterity back in time. It's so much fun and I didn't expect it in the slightest. 😆 I can't wait to get into the mods and stuff in time. Some of these race pistols look incredible 😎 Happy new year too mate😉

[@benm249]

Super excited for you to take on 10 meter air pistol. I’m a few months ahead of you but new to it as well. My best is a 93/100 string with the Air Venturi version of the Gamo Compact using those Econ IIs. Great beginner combo. If you ever make grips for that Gamo Comoact, I would buy some. The grips are everything in air pistol.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's mega mate and deceptively hard to keep them groups on the card even. I'm seeing some small but incremental improvements already which is good. It'll be fun to document it all on here, I know you lot love watching me squirm with the misses and wild flyers 😆

[@cliverkay]

Having shot 10 meter air pistol competitively many moons ago ( 70's) I remeber having terrible trouble getting grips made for either my Steyr or Morini pistol . In those days you had to order from Willy Hoffman or Karl Neill in Germany and you send an outline drawing of your hand ( Pencilled round the edges) and waited 3 months !! Then when you got it , you got out your riffler and files and plastic padding and tried to get it right ! The Precihole I am sure isntt bad , but if you are serious get a Steyr with an electric trigger . You will be hooked . Too old now for me so back to Benchrest ! Enjoy!

[@tillysgunstocks]

Hi mate, I've been looking at the fwb and Steyrs . Probably a bit early for that just yet. If it becomes a regular thing then I might well go that route,or build my own 🤯 I get as much enjoyment building stuff as using it 😉

[@Getting-Older]

Love the content of your channel and look forward to what you deliver to us over this next year! Thanks.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Thanks mate. It's often a bit random but I like to try new things and keep it fun. Who knows where 2025 will lead the channel but I'm excited about it for all of us 😀

[@vernonvvccc9325]

Not a pistol man myself but never say never great content as always happy new year.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year mate. I wasn't myself until a few weeks ago.. then it spiralled...😆 I love learning new stuff and I knew you lot would love watching me squirm and miss a few 🤠😉

[@ThinkingMan482]

I did a bit of pistol shooting for a few months. Amazing guns, but very challenging to hold still at arms length and really hard to squeeze that trigger with upsetting things. I found that doing long holds one after another helped to strengthen my shooting arm. In the end, I prefer the precision of shooting a rifle, but it is an interesting challenge for sure and easier to do indoors in the winter.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Absolutely mate. If I can use the pistol to regain some of the feeling and dexterity in my knackered left hand then I'll be so happy. They are certainly challenging and I love learning new stuff so hopefully do a bit more over the winter whilst the weather's too poor to really push my limits with the rifles.😉

[@airgunsniper-elite7385]

Nice one. This shows that Precihole makes some good barrels. If you start selling some custom grips, I am sure they would sell well. Only time will tell, but if they can produce some accurate rifles at affordable prices, they will soon have a big following. Love what you're doing with the CZ pistol conversion.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's really interesting little pistol mate.some pretty nice machining and the barrel looks really well machined I really want to get a couple of the barrels from the preci match rifles and chop them about to try in the 9015. It's what we all really want to see.. 😉

[@stevepowell3475]

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year - keep up the great work

[@tillysgunstocks]

Same to you mate, looks like we got another peculiar tangent of content for a bit too now 🤠😆

[@BSJ-VT]

Cool! Huma makes a reg for the PP700. I've got a folding stock on mine. Great for close range testing. I've always wanted to turn a S410 into a pistol...

[@tillysgunstocks]

Cor if you ever do the s410 pistol let us know on here mate.id love to see it 😉

[@BSJ-VT]

(Pesting)

[@spasticjackson9578]

I started with pistols Diana Model 6 and the IZH46. My vision is just not what it used to be so I shoot mostly scoped rifles now. I have also had the Gamo Compact and PP700. The PP700 for the money, is a really fun pistol with a bit of potential. I hope to see more of what you do with the S200. Happy New Years from USA !

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year mate 😀 It's all spiralled a lot in the last few weeks but the challenge is really getting me hooked. The 200 should end up a bit of a beast but will be quite heavy when done..I'm documenting all the bits as it goes together though 🤠😉

[@paulspeller968]

fair play my friend . man i can’t shoot a pistol for the life of me 🤣🤣🤣 to wobbly and not enough patience. definitely going to be an interesting ride . i watch some of our club shooters and they all say practice stance and trigger control oh and eye focus 🤪🤪 but i still can’t hit a barn door .

[@miket2120]

Welcome to the smaller size of airgun shooting! I've been shooting the IZH-46 for a number of years now and I'm still convinced it can shoot far better than me if I just let do it by itself. it's a single shot pneumatic that clocks in at about 450-500fps and off the bench about 1" or less groups. If I do it offhand then I'm looking at 3" at best. Two big factors for me: older eyes and not the best muscle training for my right arm. Grip is fine, tho' it could use a little reshaping and filling for that final touch.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's amazing mate how such seemingly small tweeks can lead to large gains down range. I'm already noticing I can go longer shot strings before my arms fall off 😆 It'll be fun to document it all and the hurdles I'll no doubt face 😉

[@paulandrews3785]

Good to see you with pistol ha a SA wish 🤞 I never got rid of it did lots of custom work on it 😢have snowpeak mach pistol now it's a hard disaplin but lots of fun & easy to carry

[@tillysgunstocks]

I'm really enjoying it so far mate, it's a challenge I didn't know I needed but I'm loving it 😀

[@AdamAvison-s1p]

Happy new year! Great video again

[@tillysgunstocks]

Thanks mate and happy new year to you too 😉

[@DerekSizeland]

I'm also left-handed and right eye dominant. I've recently got back into pistols and am enjoying it.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's such fun mate. I don't seem to struggle shooting cross eyed,there's probably some reason why we shouldn't but meh. If we enjoy ourselves...it don't matter 🤠😉

[@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner]

I am looking forward to seeing where you go with this. My channel is also predominantly rifles but this year I have been shooting some 20m pistol comps with an Artemis CP1 and it is a ton of fun. That orange ply grip is awesome and cool, looking forward to the finished product

[@tillysgunstocks]

I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do outdoors with the pistol mate. If I've got it set to hold under on the 10m targets it should give me a good poa at the 20m mark maybe..not checked yet but I will 😉 I can't believe I've not tried it before though🤔

[@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner]

​@tillysgunstocks another nice advantage of pistols is you don't need a long range so those who shoot in their basements can still shoot. Another big advantage is you don't have the extra cost of optics

[@tillysgunstocks]

@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner whilst I'm so bad. There's no point spending more than £4 on a tin of pellets either... 😆

[@African-Budget-Pellet-Gunner]

​@@tillysgunstocks you'll improve very quickly, shoot 1 or 2 comps and lots of trigger time especially dry firing and you will see a quick improvement

[@ianbishop5951]

That's interesting, something I haven't thought of doing, might try it out.

[@tillysgunstocks]

I'd be Very careful mate... It's flipping addictive 🫣

[@sjaakmcd1804]

Now you need 2 makes of pellet. RWS Hobby (they are capable of 5-10mm groups) for the physical side of practice, your shooting action and muscles. Then get serious with JSB Diablo Target pellets (flatties), these are the Bogs Dollox. I bench rest tested them at 12 m and put most through the centre of a 6mm target with the rest still clipping the 6mm target. I used to do 10m standing which I found harder than pistol. Have you seen the price of a Feinwerbau? Then there is the cost of the jacket and rifle rest. Good luck and all the best for 2025.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Cheers mate, happy new year 😀 I'll definitely do some further pellet testing in time..right now I'm pretty bad a shot so I'll stick with the Econs for the moment then look at some of the rws pellets down the line. Everyone has been talking about the r10s so I'll definitely give them a test.. I might well bunch some diopters on the 9015 for a bit of practice with that too 😆

[@edwardmiles3921]

Happy New Year! Fun video and congratulations for expanding your horizons. HFT is my thing, but here in Canada, winter closes everything down for almost 5 months. 6 metre pistol shooting in my living room gets me through the off season and keeps the trigger technique in check. I suck at 10 metres because my old eyes just can’t focus well enough. Best wishes on your new journey. One last thing, the RWS R10 7.0 grains aren’t that much more expensive and are fantastic in most of my pistols. Cheers

[@tillysgunstocks]

Cheers mate and happy new year to you too 😉 I'll definitely do some pellet testing in time more for sake of curiosity than anything else,but I'm so bad currently that the cheapy Econs will do for a while yet. It'll be fun to see what the preci pistol really is capable of though 🤠😉

[@edwardmiles3921]

@@tillysgunstocks for an absolute beginner you are actually pretty good. You know Airguns, you know trigger control. You know everything, but your muscles don’t lol

[@Judge_Dredd]

It'll be interesting to watch, I've never been interested in handguns or air pistols, and yes I have tried them, just don't find them appealing, so as is your normal fare I expect your videos to be as informative and engaging as possible. I'll probably not get invested in this myself, but more power to your elbow.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's funny mate as I had absolutely no inclination to shoot pistol until 3.5 weeks ago and it's spiralled. It'll be good to have some indoor content over the winter though as the weather seems to have been so poor this autumn for outdoor filming 😞

[@three-phase562]

Happy New Year mate. I do enjoy the challenge of shooting with diopters and iron sights. Bell target shooting is also a lot of fun. Good luck with the new path and thanks for all your informative videos over the last year.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year mate sorry for the slow reply ,have been a bit fragile this morning 😆 I really want to try bell target and a bit of informal 10m. It can only be good for my technique going forward. I didn't see it coming but I'm glad it's happened as I'm really enjoying the challenge 😉

[@RossNoonan]

Awesome, as I'm sure you know you can get an excellent QF and gauge for the S200 from Altaros. I've fitted one to mine. Nicer gauge than the Lanes one IMO. Good luck with it

[@tillysgunstocks]

I was looking at them mate. But typically this action is a bit of a custom job. It's got a tench BSA reg and cylinder,as there's loads more short cylinder options with the bsa tubes. So probably have to go with the lane qf. Agreed the altaros gauge display is nicer though. I've got loads of button gauges here so might be able to swap it out for a nicely marked up white faced AA one 🤔 dunno yet but I'm looking forward to getting it all done and into use 😉

[@nickwebb9290]

Well well well that was a surprise and a pleasant one, good for you Tommy, there’s nothing like a challenge 👍 I have a few pistols, not competition ones but by heck they’re a lot of fun and as you’ve found, not so easy. This is an interesting departure from your usual posts and I look forward to your future ones.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year nick. Sorry for the slow reply mate. Festivities were still flowing until early today 😆😆 was a bit er fragile shall we say I don't know why I've never really had any interest in pistols before but it's so much fun. I've not used the rifles in nearly a month now 🤯 🤠😆

Bizarre how Pistols get under your skin .. Avoided them for years, now shoot 10M target with an AP20 and also a couple of HW44's, one still a pistol, one a carbine. Keep the videos coming always good to watch. My goal in 10M pistol is 10 in the black, never min under a 2GBP .. ATB GD

[@bardot777]

Snap ! I have decided to dedicate 2025 to seeing what I can achieve in 10 metre air pistol. I will be interested to see any exercises you adopt, shooting and physical. I may need to buy myself a dumbbell. I haven't got the funds for a dedicated PCP but have just serviced a FWB 65 (which was a challenge) and may see what I can do with my HW44. A lot will depend on an appointment at the opticians to see if I can get some glasses that will give me a sight picture and still be able to see the target.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Hi mate the preci pistol has the dry fire mode so I ought to do some indoor stance and sighting practice. Not sure what sort of warmup routine I need yet but I sure want to find out. I think sub £2 coin will be a good challenge for a while..🤠😉

Before getting further into your video, I must say I am a fan of the excite Econ as their flat head just punch a neat hole in the card, so you know exactly where it struck. Also good value.

[@tillysgunstocks]

They can't be beaten for the money mate. There's a bit of weight and size spread through a tin as expected for the modest price,I've noticed the ones that are slight larger/tighter fitting in the barrel give a bit of muzzle flip,but at this stage it's not a worry until I've got a better technique dialed my end 😉

[@halfabee]

I used to shoot Air Pistol in the 70s and 80s my group were only allowed 1 shot per target. Match grips and adjustable sights.

[@deorthepoet3069]

I follow your channel with great interest, and like you am breaking into 10m pistol. Also like you, I shoot "cross eyed", I'm left eye dominant, so it's strange getting used to holding the pistol in my right hand using my left eye to get the sight picture. I have an old Rohm twinmaster target with a right hand grip, but I'm looking for a left hand grip for it as I now have bother with the right elbow. I also shoot rifle, an S200 at and above 35m with a half centimetre group. Learning a lot from you, so keep up the good work, and I'll keep watching! Happy New Year to you and yours, lang may yer lum reek!

[@tillysgunstocks]

Happy new year mate! As far as I can tell there's not a huge disadvantage shooting cross eyed, I just have to be careful I don't lean my head over too much as it spoils my balance a bit. It's so much fun and way harder than I ever expected it be. It'll be fun to document any progress on here and ofcourse I'll leave all the misses in for you lot to smirk at 😆

[@deorthepoet3069]

@tillysgunstocks A little easier for me, I think, being right handed my stance just lengthens the distance from left eye to front blade. I'll just have to come up with a way to support the dodgy elbow! 😆😆

The high right misses are usually caused by to much thumb pressure when shooting right handed

Yet another Great video. Thank You!

[@tillysgunstocks]

Thanks mate, its soul destroying currently ,as im so bad but its great fun. i cant wait to get back to the range already and keep practicing..

[@christopherbroadhurst750]

I hope you’re able to arrange a competition with Gary Chillingworth as he has picked up a pistol too .

[@garychillingworth]

Sounds like a good idea.

[@tillysgunstocks]

I'm sure in the summer we can sort something out mate. Seems we're both terrible with a pistol 😆

[@mikepattinson3285]

Outside my comfort zone, but will enjoy watching your journey

[@tillysgunstocks]

Thanks mate. Enjoy watching me squirm and miss eh 😆 it's deceptively hard but I like a challenge... 🤠😉

[@MarkJones-x4l]

great vid.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Cheers mate 😉 happy new year too!

[@pa4tim]

I shoot airrifle, airpistol and fire-arm pistol. It started only airrifle, but I shoot lefthanded riffle (left dominant eye, righthanded )Tthe club has no lefthand riffles so I switched to .22LR pistol and that was more fun as I expected. To have more practice I also started shooting airpistol and that is even harder then .22LR-pistol. After 4 months I'm now at the point I have all 5 on the card and on average between only 25 and 30 but it is fun to do. I use the pistols from the club, I only have my own airrifle (Walther LG400 comp alu frame. I had seen the Chinese pistols, they are not so extreme in price. I had not expected them to be useful because the grip and non adjustable sight. But seeing you shooting one I maybe buy one too.

[@tillysgunstocks]

It's an unexpected twist picking up a pistol but I absolutely love it. It's good exercise too.. I've found new muscles ,that I didn't know I had,until my arms started to fall off 😆

[@NigelAmphlett]

Will you put the trigger weight the same on both guns

[@tillysgunstocks]

I'll certainly aim to get them as close as I can to each other, but got a lot of work to do before I finish the 200 off. It's a bit of a custom job already so not much off the shelf stuff available. It'll be mega when it's done though 😉

[@jnxmck]

My loft is about 11m long and I've been thinking about getting an air pistol and setting up a mini range in there, this might just be the nudge I need to do it

[@tillysgunstocks]

Do it mate🤠. Just make sure the backstop is massive to start with 😆 sometimes they just inexplicably skew right off,I'm.like wtf happened there 😆

[@matthewyates1719]

I have a PP700w its good.filling it up is wierd I have to barely open my air tank or the needle shoots up.Not sure if its normal ?? my gun works well.Pellet choice is Huge I use diablo pellets now

[@tillysgunstocks]

Sounds a bit odd mate. Maybe worth checking if there's a restrictor in the fill probe arrangement. Always best to be on the safe side with 200 bar in your hand eh 😉

[@ThinkingMan482]

Setting the trigger at the legal minimum is helpful!

[@philipbooth9755]

Steyr LP50 maybe next then 😅 or. Pardini or Morini 👍🙏

[@tillysgunstocks]

Potentially mate 😆 although at this point I don't think I could outshoot even the most basic pistol 😆

[@Delex9]

Get yourself a Pardini and some decent pellets. Anything that happens after that is entirety down to you. Enjoy the challenge. I do.

[@tillysgunstocks]

You know what mate I'm half tempted to just jump in and get something proper fancy but it's early days just yet.. 😉

[@jameswhiting7113]

My local range has just started it's first pistol competition shoot, which is slowly gathering momentum. Damn shooting standing is HARD. 😅

[@tillysgunstocks]

I've discovered new muscles in my arms I didn't know I had😆 the pro shooters must be so strong ,yet make it look so easy 🤯

[@williampratt1066]

Starch your shirt & jacket 😊

[@jameswhiting7113]

@@williampratt1066 Might make loading difficult :)

[@hedgerowpete]

where can i buy this pressie pistol from as its not listed by air arms

[@tillysgunstocks]

Quite a few shops have them listed on their websites now mate. Best thing I can suggest is have a really good scour of the web as there's some pretty big differences in advertised price 😉

[@benspeedschannel888]

I’ve tried and tried with an air pistol, I don’t think I could consistently shoot myself in the foot never mind a target at any range lol

[@tillysgunstocks]

Pmsl 😆 it's definitely a lot harder than it looks . But right now it's really fun, a new challenge and new stuff to learn can never be a bad thing eh 😉

[@benspeedschannel888]

@ definitely good to learn new things and improve, I’m 2 years in to trying to consistently shoot a recurve bow

[@garychillingworth]

Great video buddy, i think we need to organise a match. 😊

[@tillysgunstocks]

Absolutely mate. I think we are equally as bad as each other 😆 Tbh I knew the boys would love watching me squirm and miss .. it's so fun though even being terrible at it 🤠😉

[@CliveRoads]

Welcome to the frustration of 10m pistol. An XTi will seem boring😂.

[@tillysgunstocks]

I've not touched the rifles in 3.5weeks mate.. the pistols are really fun and much nicer to use in the cold. Feels like I'm getting some exercise too which is always a good thing 😉

[@Kieron-ny8ix]

Not keen on the beard don’t look like the same guy anymore 🫣🫣

[@tillysgunstocks]

😆 it's been too cold here of late mate. Got to get a trim as I'm really grey now 😞😆😆

[@leehadlington4498]

Oh yes, you are in for a world of pain, and as someone that shot on the national circuit for several years, I have the mental scars to prove it - if you want any coach tips give us a shout 😂👍

[@tillysgunstocks]

Pmsl! I can already see I've got some bad habits but it's damn fun eh! 🤠😉

[@allanedwards5349]

You're off to an excellent start there. Until you're fairly consistently getting them in the 9 ring I wouldn't worry about pellet testing at all, assuming you are using a reasonable match type pellet, there will be very little difference between the very best and the worst pellet, just a couple of mm. Use the correct size 10m target so your sight picture stays consistent, sighting area is usually around the 4 ring, you don't want to be wobbling up into the black while aligning your sights. Although you see many top pistol shooters with a very stiff stance now, I would still recommend a much more relaxed stance, giving a natural point of aim. This chap shoots much the same way I was taught and has a good series on basic 10m pistol shooting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGPCo2midq6eeq8

[@tillysgunstocks]

Thanks mate I'll have a watch cheers! You're absolutely correct regards the pellets. The Econs are plenty good enough for me right now. I'll do some testing just for sake of curiosity mainly but I won't be spending tons on premium pellets until (if ever) need too 😉

[@NateChrony.]

First time pistol shootin & he's clearly got the hang of it! blaming the sights... blaming the grip... HA! 🤣🤣🤣

[@tillysgunstocks]

Absolutely mate, get the excuses in early and then it's all on me😆 It's super fun though and just so much harder than I ever expected..🤠

[@boneabalonecarver]

Welcome to the darkside.😂

[@tillysgunstocks]

Ain't it just 😆 I don't know quite what I've got myself into but it's absolutely addictive especially as a complete novice... I really want to pimp up a few pistols too as they just look so cool!

[@BSJ-VT]

NPA NPA NPA Follow through....

[@tillysgunstocks]

The follow through is so important.. I absolutely need to work on it more mate 🤠😉

[@BSJ-VT]

Something that helped me ingrain really good followthrough is, guess what, shooting steel spinners. 😃 Hold till you hear the impact. Trains your brain away from the sear breaking being the trigger to disengage the shot process... Start at 50-60mm and work down to your coin size.

[@tillysgunstocks]

@BSJ-VT good shout mate, I do exactly the same behind the rifles on the metal plate targets. Just helps slow it all down and promotes that critical follow through 😉

[@keithnorman3519]

Two things, don’t move your feet when reloading and concentrate on your front sight not the target.

[@tillysgunstocks]

Absolutely mate regards fore sight. I do have a tendency to wander about a bit between shots don't I 😬😆 Need to stop that for sure.. I'm going to do some reading and practice properly for a bit as I feel I can definitely do better 🤠

[@peterclayton4321]

Hi, hoping to try 10m pistol myself this year, not really sure where to start and how much money to throw at it - any suggestions 👍🏻🥸

[@tillysgunstocks]

Hi mate, it's a tricky one honestly as there's lots of budget options and little affordable proper match pistols. This preci pistol is sort of an entry level proper match pistol. I think it'll be a good while (if ever) that I could out shoot it.. I did notice though that immediately the preci was easier to shoot that the pp700 and gamo. It's way better handling,but having said that my experience is very very limited so far 😉
