Do you do 10mtr air rifle shooting
As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Do you mean as a competitive sport or just for the heck of it?
Cheers!

Apologies to fail to clarify.

I meant competitively.

I can only get to practice at our society terrace , I get exactly 11meters to shoot at from one corner till water-tank wall and can practice in sitting position only. no competitive shooting.

Not very encouraging situation to go in rifle club, please share some good experience to counter it.

In a club league for me. It means it's not sanctioned, just informal matches every week. I have FWB 601 pump rifle and I'm only averaging 358 right now. I will try to take a picture of a match tomorrow.
