for ISSF 10M air pistol:the box measures 420mm x 200mm x 50mmthere is a 15 minute time period for sighters, then shooters are given 75 minutes to shoot 60 shots for record
AP-60 (shots) is mensAP-40 (shots) is womensFor local non-regulation matches, anything goes.Box dimensions are 420 x 200 x 50 mmSee attached pix from the ISSF rule book.If you get a standard match AP from one of the recognized major manufacturers, it is presumably within the rule dimensions.It is when you use a non-standard AP that the ruler/box comes out.Or a match that is in full compliance with ISSF rules.If you are curious, here is a link to the ISSF rulebook.https://www.issf-sports.org/documents/rules/2017/ISSFRuleBook2017-2ndPrintV1.1-ENG.pdf
That, I cannot tell you. Shoot'em an email and ask. I hear they are quite friendly.I myself was unaware of that deal until the last few weeks when I read of it in some currently running 46M topics.https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=153027https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=153475
Great tip on the book!I've been doing some dry firing and some practice just getting the stance down and raising/lowering the pistol. I definitely need to get some arm strength done. Just one more fun thing to do!
i have been learning ISSF 10M shooting for a few months now, and still have a ways to go . . . following is a link to a series by B.B. Pelletier from Pyramid Air - he has written about a multitude of air guns and shooting in general. i have learned from his writings, and believe you may be able to learn a little from him, also.https://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2008/05/10-meter-pistol-shooting-part-1/ . . . first part of a 7-part series.

Just one more fun thing to do!One of the things I like about the 46M is its dry fire ability, although the trigger is so light one can breathe wrong and misfire. And arm strength is one more issue for me as well as I am getting older. I shake all over the place compared to 15 yrs. ago.I'm sure that if I take off the Red Dot sight it would improve my scores as the gun is already front heavy.
The other factor is process.When you shoot, get the shot off within 6 seconds of coming on target. The longer you hold the harder it is on your muscles, and you will tire faster.Keep the gun down between shots, to rest your arm.Take brakes. You have plenty of time to get off your 60 record shots. Plan and pace yourself.
I switched to a Micro 4/3 system, to reduce my carry weight on long trips.

Don't know your year 'round weather in Arkansas, but below 60 degrees CO2 isn't a good power supply. Here in Indiana my CO2's are used indoors from October until about April. But for a match shooting pistol, that's perfect for me. I like oddities, if I could find one of the old Alpha Proj CO2 pistols, for a low enough price, I'd be on it.Alpha Proj co2 pistol.
Be very careful when you work on arm strengthening.It is very easy to get carried away, go too fast, and injure yourself.Slow and steady.And work BOTH arms, or your muscles become un-balanced, even worse than normal.

Makes me think of the saying "Jack of all trades, master of none." I don't know that he has even shot in regulation 10 meter matcheS, maybe he has. I would take what he says with a grain of salt, until you confirm it with a GOOD 10m shooter/site.He has said things that make me question his level of expertise in 10 meter competition.
I see the Izzy is back in stock on Krale...Just sayin.

If you really want to get 10m info, go to www.targettalk.orgIt is sponsored by Pilkington Guns (www.pilkguns.con) and is limited to Olympic and Bulls-Eye shooting.I would love to have some of those guys as my coach.
