Sorry for the LONG lag between issues. Spare time has been non-existent for me the past month. Things should get better very soon. If nobody noticed, I posted what finals results I had from Buenos Aires. If someone can provide the results for the other 4 events or for the World Cup Finals, please pass them along to me. Thank you.

The Score Board has been placed at www.midcoast.com/~junebug/aphp for you to use when requesting information about 10 meter air pistol equipment, technique, rules, etc. Please feel free to use it often - that's why I put it there! Also check the site for updates and new reviews & interviews in the following weeks. Hopefully you will be pleased with what you see. The APHP continues to be a one man, non-commercial site, and I plan to continue it this way. With your help and comments, I can continue to improve the APHP and make it a valuable resource for 10 meter air pistol shooters on the net. Thanks for your time and 10.9s to you, Patrick Rowling APHP www.midcoast.com/~junebug/aphp/aphphome.htm ****************************************************************** Somtime ago i saw a advertisement on your page about somone wanting to buy a air rifle .

Please e-mail him directly.] Hello readers A friend of mine bought a new daisy 2003 repeater air pistol from US and brought it to Pakistan for me. It was purchased at K-Mart store. When I try to load the Daisy original CO2 cylinder, the whole gas of the cylinder leaks immediately upon tightening the bottom screw. Incidentally I dont have the User manual of this gun. The steps I use for loading the CO2 cylinder is as follows: 1. Take out the Pellet Clip from the gun. 2. Put the gun on safe mode. 3. Put in the CO2 Cylinder 4. Tighten the retaining screw of the cylinder under the stock of the gun. Upon tightening all gas releases (leaks ) out . What I have noticed is that the gas does not leak from the intake-nozzle but rather from an area close to where the cylinder bay is. After the gas has leaked, I usually try putting in the pellet clip and firing the pellet. Only one pellet can be fired and that too at a very low velocity. Am I not following the right steps of the loading procedure ? Or is there something wrong with the gun? The problem here is that there are no specialized gunsmiths capable of handling CO2 powered guns here in Pakistan. I shall appreciate any help in this respect.
