18.01.2022 Yo Ho Ho Today is ‘Talk like a Pirate Day.’ Did you know pirates used flint lock pistols back in the day? Flintlock, ignition system for firearms, developed in the early 16th century. The best-developed form, the true flintlock, was invented in France in the early 17th century, probably by Marin le Bourgeoys. It had a frizzen (striker) and pan cover made in one piece. When the trigger was pulled, a spring action caused the frizzen to strike the flint, showering sparks on...to the gunpowder in the priming pan; the ignited powder, in turn, fired the main charge in the bore, propelling the ball. https://www.britannica.com/technology/flintlock http://www.ozgunsales.com//maastricht_holster_pistol_by_og #rockhamptonpistolclub #blackpowder #talklikeapirate

17.01.2022 #ThrowbackThursday Can you believe Sydney 2000 Olympics was 20 years ago! Our Aussie athletes were successful in winning medals in shooting as well as other well known sports. Read about memorable moments from some of our shooters on the link below. #rockhamptonpistolclub #shootingsports #athletes #flashbacks #sydney #olympics

14.01.2022 Were you gifted a voucher for Christmas? Perhaps cash or are still waiting for those fabulous ear muffs you have been eyeing off? Before you rush out to buy the trendy coloured, cheap as chips, standard muffs...read about standard vs electronic first. Standard non-electronic muffs are called "passive" hearing protection. The cups around a shooter's ears are filled with sound-absorbing foam, which slows down/muffles/reduces the incoming sound waves so gunshots and other loud ...sounds are no longer a threat to a persons hearing. As a result, however, it is harder to hear sounds at ordinary volume levels. It is always easy to tell who at the range is wearing passive muffs, because they're shouting in order to have a "normal" conversation. FYI, if you don't wear some sort of hearing protection while shooting, people will soon have to shout at you all the time. Earmuffs for electronic hearing protection have standard ear cups with sound-absorbing foam just like in passive muffs, so if a battery dies, a shooter's hearing will still be protected. Where they differ from passive muffs is the microphones on the outside of the muffs, which pick up sounds, amplify them and deliver them to a shooter's ears electronically. With the volume control turned all the way up, I've found electronic muffs allow me to hear better than with bare ears which is why many shooters wear them on the range. And yes, firing only a few rounds a year without electronic hearing protection while shooting can still irreparably damage anyone's hearing. Links below provided for visual choices only.

06.01.2022 #MotivationMonday Do you need a reason to participate in pistol shooting? . Pistol shooting is a recognised sport with participants called athletes. Yes I am not kidding! .... This get moving poster points out 4 very important reasons why we as adults need to be active to stay healthy and mentally alert. Pistol shooting may not be the most aerobic exercise you will do, but walking back and forth checking and patching your target will help increase vitamin D exposure (in the sun) and keep those muscles and joints moving as well as may other health benefits listed here. #rockhamptonpistolclub #movement #exercise See more

02.01.2022 There is nothing more frustrating when you are on the range and your pistol jams. Safety comes first always when clearing a jam/malfunction but do you know why this sometimes occurs? Here are the main reasons that a pistol will jam: The pistol is dirty The magazines are bad... Bad ammo Poor shooting technique Worn out springs Broken parts #rockhamptonpistolclub #safetyfirst #malfunction https://bit.ly/33clwcm
