Here is a pic of the air pistol and target used.
TEST SETUP
The grip plates were removed from the gun, as the grip was big for my hand. I also added a P&S aiming aid for use in aiming the gun with my index finger. It is positioned to take advantage of the curve of the back strap. I also cut off a portion of the trigger guard and extended the trigger to allow for pulling the trigger with my middle finger.
The distance between the target and me, was about 16 feet, or about 13 feet from the end of the gun muzzle with my arm extended. As I moved, I shot five times in about 2.5 seconds per the timeline in the video. There is sound so you can hear the BB's as they strike the target pie pan.
VIDEO SETUP
The camera was placed behind the target to show me shooting at the target. And a mirror was positioned in the camera's field of view and close to the target, to show both the target and hits as they were made.
A nine inch wide pie plate was used for the target. "9 In" in reverse was written on it, so when seen in the mirror, it would read: 9 In.
I used the camera's "self timer" feature. The pistol was held down at my side, and when the timer light blinked rapidly, I started moving and bringing the gun up to shoot.
I planned to make several "takes" if needed, but the first one turned out good, so I stopped.
