Eye Domination for Shooting

Ever heard about eye domination? This how to determine it
If you are pistol shooter, you are lucky. because its possible to shot cross-dominant (when you are right-handed but shoot with left eye). But if you are rifle shooter, you have to choose between change your hand or change your eye dominance. According Avianna Chao, it's possible to change eye dominance by keep using it when shooting. At beginning your shot will screw up, but it doesn't take too much time.




See the Image above? Here's the step :
1. Make your hand look like image above
2. Focus on one object, not the hand
3. Place it between your thumb like image above
4. Slowly move your hand closer to your eyes
5. See in which eyes your hand land


Easy but effective

How positive thoughts save your day


When I bought shooting glasses few months ago, I learned something accidentally. Something that actually common sense but will affect greatly at your shooting.  After The Competition ended, I decided to bought a shooting glasses with my prize money. I bought Knobloch K-1P but I changed the lens holder with rifle holder. So I asked The shop’s owner to demonstrated how to changed it. Seriously, that is the first time I owned something with my own money, I really don’t want to messed it up.

When the shop's owner opened one screw, that screw which is very small, she dropped it. I thought it is impossible to found a screw THAT small in shooting range. It could be anywhere. Lot of  people came to help, yet it's not been found yet. Wew, I felt like giving up already but the shop's owner, who also a shooter, said a shooter should always think positively through any situation and somehow we found it with help of a flashlight.

Imagine if that happen in a match situation. Doesn’t have to lose a screw but to keep positive thought evens in situation that you consider as imposible. If thinking positively could find a really small screw in wide area, I don’t see any objection why positive thoughts couldn't help you improve your performance. Hope this help!

Cylinder below limit? what will happen?

You know, I used to hear from few shooters when their shot gets lower or fly, they said that their cylinder is near empty. To tell you the truth, I used believe that too. The needle shows at the lowest green part. And finally, I decided to ask feinwerkbau about it and they answer...

"Concerning the cylinders please be informed that the pistol works generally with a working pressure of 80 bar i.e. it does not matter if there will be a pressure of 200 bar inside the cylinder or only 100 bar -this will have no influence to the velocity as the pistol itself works generally with a pressure of 80 bar."


and so, I decided to test it. The result it...

I should use edelmann for cleaner result, This is the only one available in my city right now and forgive the 8, it's completely my fault. And the conclusion is, it didn't really affect accuracy. I did feel reduced velocity though. But please note that I DID NOT recommend to have a match with nearly like above image. I cannot say that other gun can do the same thing since I haven't test it. It would be better if anyone try it too. Besides it's about the man behind the gun. Still think that your cylinder is the cause of your flyers? :D
