Training in ISSF air pistol is a long-term process. Progress comes from consistency, structured work, and the ability to reflect honestly on your performance. Your Training Buddy – Air Pistol was created as a practical notebook to support exactly that kind of training.
It is a compact, spiral-bound notebook made of durable cardboard and paper — robust enough to live permanently in your range bag and be used daily, whether in dry fire, live fire, or competition preparation.
Your Training Buddy is structured into four main areas that reflect the core demands of ISSF pistol training:
- Technique – fundamentals, shot execution, and stability
- Performance – routines, focus, and pressure handling
- Special – targeted drills and problem-oriented training
- Game – variation, motivation, and playful challenges to sharpen skills
How to use it in your training
“Start every practice session with focus and enjoyment for the sport. Introduce variety, set new challenges, and keep working toward your long-term goals. Track your progress, strengthen what already works, and address weaknesses consciously. Be honest with yourself, stay confident, and trust your process. Follow your own path as an athlete.
The notebook contains 44 exercises, divided into three skill levels, allowing athletes to select drills that match their current technical and mental stage — from developing shooters to experienced competitors.
Each exercise is supported by clear visual icons that quickly communicate:
- Average duration of the exercise
- Approximate number of shots
- Whether it is a partner or group exercise
- Time-restricted or match-style conditions
- Required equipment or accessories
- Dry fire or holding-focused practice
For every exercise, you’ll find:
- A concise explanation of how to perform it
- Clear differences between skill levels
- A defined training objective, so every drill has a purpose
Your Training Buddy – Air Pistol is not about shortcuts. It is about mindful repetition, structured variation, and taking responsibility for your own development — exactly what ISSF-level training demands.
