Other Beginner 10m Air Pistol Men

Hi!

I’m new to the sport but would like to get started on the 10m air pistol. Just moved to the Kansas City area. I don’t think there’s an air pistol range around us.

Dreams of competing in the Olympics.

1. Where can I buy used air pistols? If I wanted to practice at home, is there a pistol that converts between air and electronic?
2. Where can I buy items to set up a home electronic range?
3. How do I look into competitions for mens 10m Air pistol?

Any and all advice would be welcome!

The Civilian Marksmanship Program in Anniston AL and at Camp Perry Ohio provide pistol matches and you are very likely to meet some Olympic level shooters. Aniston had Olympic team tryouts I think last year. Either location can provide contact information with willing participants and give you good information on rules, equipment needs and more. The first steps are learning what questions to ask.

This book: Pistol Shooting The Olympic Disciplines. I can't recall where I got my copy but this is the only place I find it in stock:

I read about this system in the above book:

When you ask AI what are the most popular legit Olympic air pistols the Steyr and Morini come up. They aren't cheap but they are cheaper than a bass boat.

I am a hack so have several old school Single Stroke Pneumatics (SSP). They are good enough for me and my 9.3M range in the basement.
