Make finals more interesting

Hello, ISSF!
What do you think, if every finalist becomes heart rate/pulse sensor and actual heart rate value will be broadcast real time together with actual scores. This can be interesting («Wow, look at this guy, he hits 10 with heart rate of 180!»).
The use of heart rate measurement technology in biathlon now moves one-step further, from training to competitions. Several top biathletes are now using the Polar Telemetry System to transmit this physiological data to a PC for use in television broadcasts.

Video lessons – rapid fire pistol shooting basics by Khaidurov

Two video lessons by Efim Khaidurov. Absolute rarity and exclusive. These videos were produced by Soviet Union’s ministry of sport in 1982-1983.

I promise to add annotations in English as soon as possible – so you can understand what is right and what is wrong.

Thanks everyone who transferred these videos from film to the modern video format.

TOZ-35 free pistol with electromechanical trigger

New project: electromechanical trigger for TOZ-35 free pistol.
Our goals:

• Get rid of many tiny parts of mechanical trigger no more available today on the market;
• Learn – how electromechanical trigger might work;
• Original pistol weight and balance must remain the same as before;
• Learn something new.

Electromechanical trigger consists of two main parts:

• Electronic part. Subdivided into:
  • Power supply (rechargeable via USB);
  • Contact key (button, switch, pressure gauge etc);
  • Analog amplifier;
  • Digital converter;
  • Digital analyzer;
  • Impulse generator;
  • Solenoid.
• Mechanical part – original bolt «as is».

Developers: me and Alexander Exl.

We worked all day on strain gauge, Wheatstone Bridge and Instrumentation amplifier. Seems to be work. Photos a little bit later.
As you may notice – we use strain gauge – no buttons, no springs, no contacts, no trigger movement. Later it must be enough to tune tiny potentiometer to adjust the «trigger weight».
