My First Pistol Cheat Sheets
I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately about how to train my technique and mind for pistol shooting. My notes are a bit too extensive and it is difficult to refer to them in training to make sure that I act upon a few points beyond the goals of my training session.
Sport Pistol Is Now Olympic Pistol
A few days after creating this blog, I started having doubts about its name. I had originally called it Sport Pistol to highlight the sport part of the sport of pistol shooting, hoping that it would encompass all the disciplines I’m interested in. I then noticed that this was also the name of a single discipline and that it could be confusing.
Living with the Slump
The slump is tough. Since I got back from vacation my shooting stats have not improved. Some things have regressed, others are not getting better.
My First Precision Air Pistol Training Program
After a shooting test to see my trends, my air pistol coach (Santiago Gómez Salgado) sent this as a first generic training to get going before we met (I live 1800 km away). There are two training programs, one for home and one for the range. I’ve blocked three days a week to go to the range. This is complemented with one day training at home (total 4 days of shooting training per week). Physical training is not included in this.
My Shooting Stats Tracking Spreadsheet
Luckily for me my shooting range has air pistol electronic targets connected to a printer. Following the advice of Jean-Luc, from my very first day I’ve kept a copy of my results everytime I’ve shot a 60 shot competition in training.

Today is the day! After a while of thinking about it, I’ve decided to launch the Olympic Pistol website to help others like me who love bullseye shooting and want to improve through training.
