How lucky to are to still be in possession of your Walther GSP. I bought my first one in 1975, and then, having moved it on to a friend, my second in 1990. Then I bought the GSP-C to match it. All disappeared into the melting pot in 1997 with the cartridge-firing handgun ban here in UK, along with my membership of the British Pistol Club and the RAF Pistol club. My best shooting standard pistol was around 570 or thereabouts, pretty good for those days for a club shooter.
I had my first time today on 25m with 22lr. My hand with the pistol was shaking at times like a leaf. I wonder if it has to do with being nervous the first time or whether my arm is not strong enough or used to holding weight in that position while aiming? I hope that the shaking gets less the more i practice and get used to it.
One on a tripod behind me, one on a tripod pointing into the port from downrange, one clamped (taped really) to a rail directly overhead and the target itself was from a spotting scope on the next port.
Thank you sir for the knowledge, one request sir how should be the aiming ( sub six or six o'clock or center hold for 25m standard pistol) i am also a shooting enthusiast interested in both rapid fire n standard pistol shooting.
Retired competitor here - so others may chime in with their experiences. My primary events were free pistol and air pistol for Olympic qualification. I shot Standard pistol as practice and to give us more domestic events to compete in before the World Cup matches would start every year. For all of my events I went with a 6 o’clock hold. This allowed me precise positioning on the target as the black sights would be silhouetted against the white paper. Sub 6 hold was too difficult to remain consistent on elevation - since range lighting conditions are different around the world. And center hold would black out your sights and became too difficult to keep the sights aligned correctly. That being said, I ran into top shooters all over the world who were successful with all three of those holds I mentioned. The most popular was 6 o’clock, but there were enough others who were still winning world cups with the other holds that they couldn’t be ignored. So my advice would be to see which one gives you the best result and then stick with it for your training. 👍
Sorry guys, but technique is making me cry. 20S serie - hand is raised very slow, but there is no sharp stop, hand is goes above the target, then looking aiming point, a lot of time is lost, then shooter firing in a rush with predictable results. Wrist is not fixed at all -> three of 7s in one serie. In 10S serie - all 5 shots are made in 4 seconds! too fast, not prepared, gun has not been come down to stay steel between shots. So, wish You luck and can't wait another one video with 560+
The gun enters the aiming area too fast, if you want to shoot continuously, you need to maintain a consistent force. In addition, pay attention to keeping the gun sight on target, and maintain good strength when firing the bullet.
It came with the scope. I got it used so I don't know where it came from. I like that it's very compact (my old scope took up half my range bag) and it gathers light like no other scope I've seen. It's great for 25m but, being a fixed 23x magnification, it's not ideal for 50m.
What pistols do you have? I noticed in the setup video it looked like two pistols in your case. Appreciate the information also, a lot different from the ISSF videos showing later competition phases.
It's the same Walther GSP in all shots. This particular one is from 1977 and has a left-hand grip from Rink Formgriffe. Thanks for the feedback. This is intended to be more of an instructional series for club-level shooters wanting to get into the sport. The ISSF videos seem more like televised sports than anything else. They serve a purpose, but they're not particularly educational.
Handguns are not banned. TRANSFER of ownership to individuals is currently banned (yes, it's a fine hair that I'm splitting). Also, here's an exception in the legislation for those training for, competing in, or coaching Olympic Pistol events. It's better than nothing.
Of all the target shooting disciplines, the standard pistol is the one I like the most. Good video. 👍

Excellent stuff! I have always wondering what's going on in the shooter's head, and you just made the perfect voiceover.
I enjoy such target shooting, I am not necessarily competitive but just enjoy trying to improve my marksmanship. Thanks for an enjoyable presentation.
Fantastic video tutorial. I'll be sharing this with some new competitors prior to an upcoming match. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Nice Walther GSP...great pistol. 👍🏻
Yaa nice camera angels and superb video with time saving timeline links..
Great video. Thank you! I have just started with target shooting and this was great to watch.
Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you 👍👍👍
Perfect video for an absolute beginner like me. Although I'm not sure how well my Ruger Mk iii is suited to this type of shooting...
It won't take you to the Olympics, but you can still have a lot of fun shooting in club and regional competitions.
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to more.
Nice video, and good shooting. Deserves a like & sub :)
Very Nice shooting..25m....✌️
Thanks for sharing

Great video. How do you set up all the cameras?

where did you get that scope stand?
It came with the scope. I got it used so I don't know where it came from. I like that it's very compact (my old scope took up half my range bag) and it gathers light like no other scope I've seen. It's great for 25m but, being a fixed 23x magnification, it's not ideal for 50m.
Are those real bullets ?
Yes, 22lr
That target is shaking like a leaf, I would complain to the range about that.
Some of that is turbulence in the air. It's through a 20x scope and warm and cold air were mixing thanks to the fans.

@@pistolontario5161 An excellent old pistol, I just noticed Walther has released a new GSP500
I have gsp500. Its almost the same as hämerli sp 20. Excellent pistol.
it's all about trigger control.
Medonho
The sense of firing is too strong. This is not a pressing machine.
Handguns banned. Bye.
Huh?
