Hammerli AP20 Pro Review

[nmondal]

Hi Guys, in the last 7 days -- I am crossing 90s, consistently.



First series is not coming up properly -- it is close to 90/100 but not 90. Suggestion by Instructor : Do more on the sighters.
On a side note -- he is convinced that I won't need a better gun, at least even for nationals, and he also said -- ever, really.

I do think if one can hit consistent 95+ with each series on paper targets using this gun, then do we need anything better, really?
What do you guys suggest?
Money is NOT a constraint for me, but I really want to find the limit for this "cheapest" gun.

Both the sighter and the first series ( I did not play the 2,3 ) was 91!


I think I got to be steady, and steady and steadier.

Great shooting man.

Great shooting man.

Thank you sir.
This is today, in range ( 362 )



I am getting good grouping at both home and range - just that the centre is off.
Compare this with home :



I guess at home, lighting ( LED Battery operated Lamp ) creates a problem - site pictures move right or below.
Fixing this with external power source -- will try today and update.

Hi Guys,
I have adjusted the rear sights, and now sighters are crossing 90. Here is for today.

Here is what my instructor has to say:


So.. lots of work left. When you are 38 and doing a full time job and shooting... sorta hard. But... that is

There were issues while shooting with the right eye, I am cross-eyed. My right eye sees to the right, more and more. Thus there was a problem, I have to slide my rear sight to extreme right. Now, due to geometry, this sight is fully dependent ( both in terms of left/right and top/down ) on the precise distance of shooter to the target.
Thus, when i was changing the distance, the shots were moving left/right, while also dipping down or moving up.

Shooting using right eye solved that problem.
I went to Durga Puja, now back and shooting from Monday, so new eye and sight.. scores dipped.
Today I scored 89, which is OK I suppose.
Here is how it looks like:



The shots are now centre aligned no matter where I move and which direction I move. All the time.

Out of target paper, out of air, going to the range tomorrow post Durga Puja. All set with Left Eye I presume.


3 bad shots, two towards right, one a bit low almost 8.
Bad, got to fix them.
Fingers crossed.

Hi Guys, need a little bit of favour.

Some shots are coming great, some are shifted towards right.
Why so?
What do I have to do?

[nmondal]

Here is today.


It is either 91 or 92.

[nmondal]

Here we go.

Need to remove 8, and remove some smaller 9s with bigger 9s.

I scored 377/400 today.
92+ 93 + 95 + 97

State meet at 27th Feb.
