30-shot practise - with new grip

Completed a 30-shot practise session with my Steyr LP10 air pistol at 10m. Shot it outdoors in natural light with a slight cross wind blowing at times!
 
Second card using new no-fingertip grip


Shot in strings of 10, with a 15 minute break between each set. The first set was rushed, with only a few seconds between each shot. Managed to get the following scores =>

76.1 - 87.1 - 80.1

The session stats were:

Overall: 243.3 ex 300
Average: 81.10
Std.Dev: 4.55

 which overall puts me on:

Barrel count: 410
Average: 77.33
PB: 90.0
Std.Dev: 6.44

Card 2 was the best card of the session. The 'new' grip means that the little finger is straight and doesn't touch the grip at all, the thumb is relaxed and applies no pressure to the grip, and the middle and ring finger are straightened and relaxed so that only the base of these fingers apply any pressure to the grip.

60-shot air pistol practise

As it is cheaper than black powder, did another practise session with Steyr LP10 air pistol at 10m. Shot it outdoors in natural light as there was no wind blowing during the session!

Managed all 60 shots in just over an hour, with a small break between each 20-shot set. Managed to get the following scores, given that my average going in to the session was 76.68 =>

70 - 83 [refilled cylinder] 76 - 82 - 80 - 81

The session stats were:

Overall: 472 ex 600
Average: 78.67

which overall puts me on:

Barrel count: 340
Average: 76.68
PB: 90.0
Avg Dev: 4.48

Card 5 [the 80.0], set a new PB for 10-rings scored, with 3 in the bull. All the cards had at least one in the white!
