Target shooting help ???
963941
Bound's hubby here:\n\nFirst off, how certain are you that the bullets are penetrating the bowling ball and not ricocheting off the round surface of the bowling ball? Second, you should be aware that the core of the bowling ball is almost solid cork, which will absorb more shock than you can dish out. Your bowling ball is really a poor choice in target from a safety stand point.\n\nGood luck.

The knob on the side is your elevation, "or Up & Down". The Knob on top is your windage. "Left & right.\nTake 3 very steady shots at a target, not too far away. Look at your target, mark the holes with a pen or cover with tape or something so you do not loose them. Then raise of lower you elevation. Then 3 more shots... then adjust, over & over again. You want to hope that the 3 shats are always together, as you make each adjustment. Once you get the elevation, Next work on you windage. Turning the knob left, moves the shots to the right, & vice versa. You really do not want to have your target too far away in the beginning, because you need to get a tight 3 shot pattern to be able to make adjustments. once you are on target at say 25 or 30 yards, then move the target farther away. In the beginning, you just want that tight 3 shot pattern to make accurate adjustments. Don't forget to hold your breath & squeeze slowly. You will get a stray shot from time to time, but this can be expected. Takes about an hour to do it right.

I suggest a nicer spyder.  Something on the lines of an Electra or an Imagine.  The electra is a great lightweight gun that is perfect for aggressive front players.  with the right hopper it should be able to shoot at least 20 balls per second depending on your shooting skill.  It has the rocking trigger which is really helpful.  If you are really skilled you can get it to shoot 27, 28 balls per second.  I reccomend this gun highly since i have used it.  You can get it for like 250 dollars.  Great Gun

Stance\nIf you do not practice the proper stance you will never become a really good player\n\nBridge\nLearn the proper good bridge (fingers), how to shoot when a ball is near a rail, how to jack up over object balls\n\nStoke\nSame story as stance..without a good stoke there is only so far you can go!\n\nCutting\nLearn how to cut balls in down near the corner pockets pockets..depending on the game 50% or more will be these shots\nPractice cutting into side pockets\nLearn how to run a frozen ball down a rail..ball and rail at same time (if you have good control use running English)\nPractice straight shots down the table (long straight shots are the most difficult shots)\n\nEnglish\nYou most learn draw...No good player uses top spin for long or fast shots (you loose allot of control) draw is used 10 times more than top spin. Always draw a little if your shooting hard.\n\nPractice trowing balls with right and left English, (you must lean how to throw balls or you will never be able to master position)\nlow right, center right, low left, center left (top spin is really only used on very special shots or if you want to follow with the cue.\n\nLearn how to stop the cue ball in it tracks-.straight shot center ball (requires a bit of a stab stroke)\n\nUse must learn how to draw the cue ball......I can draw the cue sometimes 3 rails...Yes I shoot great pool and still can draw a crowd if in a place where the people are into pool..I have a 6 rail shot has to be a good level fast table (I cut their eyes out, I bank like a crazy fool, I can put the cue ball on a dollar anywhere on the table)\n\nListen the real trick is to not have to think about the shot when you are shooting it....it has to become intuitive...(sure think about it before you shoot) and that cue has to become an extension of your body!\nGood luck!\n\nAnother tip the best players in the world are from The Philippines and guess what they all grew up playing (15 ball rotation) it'll teach you ever thing, position, kicking, bank, and on and on....very few people play it today. It's a tough game.  But become good at this game and you can play any game with mastery.\n\nAny questions e-mail me.....get a book and some videos...and always play with people that are better than you and watch them! (just don't play for money)

Follow these tips in fast-motion:\n\n1- Spread your feet at same distance as your shoulders.\n\n2- When you take aim, use your shooting hand to hold the ball from underneath and the other hand to balance the ball from the side.\n\n3- Keep both elbows inside your shoulders' frame throughtout the whole motion.\n\n4- If you dont have enough strength to arc a jumpshot higher than the backborad, shoot the ball from your chest instead of from over your head and/or use your jump to help you push the ball. \n\n5- And the most important tip, because it is what makes the arc: use your shooting wrist to make the ball roll off your fingers as you shoot (it is a concept widely known as the finger-roll).\n\n6- Follow your shot with your shooting arm for better accuracy.\n\nWith the these tips, and practicing them at least a 100 times a day, you could be the next Larry Bird, or the next Reggie Miller. Who knows. Those guys hardly missed.

First of all have you had your vision examined recently?  If it's ok, then try some practice layups where you slightly change your aim deliberately by a half-inch or inch in each direction both left and right, up and down, and a few inches forward and back, then combining left, up and forward, etc., the same as when a marksman is calibrating sights on a rifle.   It may be that your "kinesthetic" sense is rusty and you are not "feeling" it when your body is in total alignment to make the perfect shot.  It could also be your release point (the same as when pitchers can't seem to throw strikes).  Try varying that as well. I'm sure if you try hard enough something's gonna pop.  Best of luck.

im gessing u have a victor 1 or 2 or maybe an avant to adjust the speed theres a small bolt in the back of the gun and u twist that with a wrench that it comes with. tighter faster looser slower. IMPORTANT have the gun chronographed before shooting it is DANGEROUS to have a gun over the 180 fps.

Get a full lenth shaft. Have your over draw mounted. Draw back, have a buddy mark the shaft 1 inch in past where the shaft rests on the over draw. \n1 inch clearance is all you need for shooting broad heads.

Before you shoot from a few feet away, try shooting under the basket and hitting it off the backboard. Make atleast ten shots in a row(if you miss one, start over) and move a little farther(like a step or something) and try not using the backboard if you are not comfortable with the distance. Repeat this and you will see improvement in your shot and control of the ball.\n\nGreat Luck to You.

Hmm, what kind of target? xD

You can practice your rifle skills indoors with an air rifle. The sight picture, breath and trigger control are the same as with your hunting rifles..I'm not talking about a daisy BB gun or a cheap piece of junk pellet gun, I'm talking about an adult precision air rifle...I use a West German built, Feinwerkbau 124D, the accuracy of this rifle is quite good...A .177 pellet is pretty small and I'm not all that great a shot but on good days at 10 meters I can place 10 shots in one ragged hole. Even at 40 meters 1/2 inch groups are not uncommon...\n\nYou can buy a nice air rifle for around $150 or you can spend several thousand for one with Olympic type accuracy...You might check out the RWS 34 they are well made,accurate and powerful all for around $230...If you do buy an air rifle, either buy a "combo" package or make absolutely sure you buy an air rifle scope. Spring piston air rifles are very hard on scopes and a scope not designed for air rifles will soon be ruined...\n\nRWS Superpoint pellets are my favorite...You may want to try several different "quality" pellets to see which functions best in your rifle...Pellets are relatively cheap and a pellet trap to practice indoors will cost less than $20...\n\nthis is the best site for information on adult precision air guns\nhttp://www.beeman.com\n\nthe best places to buy online\nhttp://www.airgunwarehouseinc.com\nhttp://www.pyramidair.com

Pick two or three spots on the floor, and practice from only those spots... when you're learning a shot like this, it's not necessary to be able to shoot it from everywhere on the court.. just one spot on each side of the lane and one spot IN the lane...\n\nAlso, you should practice shooting both left and right handed hook shots..once you master the shot with either hand, NO ONE will be able to guard you!  Good Luck!
