2018 has been an interesting year where I’ve improved a lot the basics of precision pistol shooting. My shooting routine, grip, hold, stance, and trigger have improved but this has not translated in the scores I thought I should have in competition.

Broken Steyr Pistol Blues
If you follow the Twitter and Facebook accounts of Olympic Pistol you know my troubles: my Steyr pistol is broken. The worst of it is that it is broken because of a check-up , not a repair, not a fall, a fricking check-up.
Shooting Glasses Paradise in Belgium: Optiek Van Gorp
After a lot of searching through the internet and in Belgium, I found my thrill at Optiek Van Gorp, where I could see and try shooting glasses from all major manufacturers (Knobloch, Pilla, Champion, Jäggi Nova, MEC). I ended up buying …

Personnalisation de crosses de pistolet à Bruxelles par Sander Nooij (5-9 septembre 2018)
Une opportunité unique de courte durée arrive pour tous les tireurs désirant venir à Bruxelles pour avoir leurs poignées olympiques personnalisées. J’ai convaincu Sander Nooij (champion de pistolet néerlandais et maître ébéniste ) de venir à Bruxelles pour passer cinq jours à personnaliser des crosses de pistolet ! J’ai déjà fait une de mes crosses avec lui en suivant les recommandations de mon entraîneur (mais j’ai du conduire 6 heures). Avec le Grand Prix de Bruxelles organisé par mon club, je pensais que ce serait une excellente occasion de l’amener à Bruxelles. Rassembler beaucoup de tireurs pour faire de la compétition et pour personnaliser des crosses me semble être une super occasion, n’est-ce pas? 🙂
Pistol Grip Customization in Brussels by Sander Nooij (September 5/9 2018)
A unique short time opportunity is coming for all shooters willing to come to Brussels to have their Olympic pistol grips customized for their hands. I’ve convinced Sander Nooij (Dutch pistol champion and master woodworker) to come to Brussels and spend a week customizing pistol grips! I’ve already done one of my grips with him following the recommendation of my coach (but I had to drive for 6 hours). With the coming Brussels Pistol Grand Prix by my club I thought it would be a great opportunity to bring him to Brussels. Getting a lot of shooters together to compete and a grip customizer sounds like a great fit, doesn’t it? 🙂
BAD SERVICE WARNING! Reflex Shooting
DO NOT TRUST YOUR GUN TO REFLEX SHOOTING >> They broke my air gun while doing a yearly checkup. They charged me €65 for “greasing the o rings” but my gun is no longer working. They do not own their mistake, fix it or reimburse. In fact they won’t even send the tax bill for what I paid. I had to pay extra €150 to get my gun fixed by another gunsmith. They also botched my order of a €2000 gun (a Morini FP). Very bad customer support and follow up (which ends up being non existent).
