So just to give all of you a perspective,

To score 10's, you have to time the shot to just before you're sights are lined up correctly so that way the tigger breaks, and the lock time is accounted for so the bullet leaves the muzzle just as the POA crosses the desired POI. So for instance with what I was doing, I would get the gun loaded, close the bolt, get into position finger off the trigger, get the sights on target, then when close to ready, take up the slack on the first stage (IIRC 5 ounces? Trigger breaks at 7? Can't remember, been awhile) and let the gun settle down, breath in, half breath out and then the few milliseconds before the sights are dead on let the trigger break. If it doesn't come together in that instant, let off, breath, give it one more chance, if it doesn't line up right that time, crack the bolt so the gun doesn't go off setting it on the rest and break position. You get 2 minutes per shot, so there's no reason to pull the trigger if you're not zoned in. |

As far as I know the lower limit for trigger weights is 500 grams for 25m smallbore pistol and for 10m air pistol.
There is a single shot pistol event, 22lr, at 50m. Target is 200mm in diameter and I believe that the 10 ring is about 2 inches in diameter. For that discipline there is no lower limit on trigger weight and they go as low as possible with electronic triggers. The pistols look quite crazy and have sculpted grips of wood that wrap around the hand. |
