Morini Competition Arm S.A.

The company was formed in 1973 as a maker of anatomical grips for target pistols and still supply these grips to many other companies in addition to producing competition arms themselves.

During the following years, complying with laws and regulations governing guns become more and more complicated in Italy, and in 1985 the company decided to move to Lamone, Canton Ticino, the Italian speaking region of Switzerland.

In 1990 the company moved to Bedano, its current headquarters, which is another small village of the Italian speaking region of Switzerland.

Currently their CM 162 EI air pistol and CM 84E free pistol are amongst the most popular choices, for 10 m Air Pistol and 50 m Pistol respectively, amongst top international competitors. These pistols are most notable for an electronic trigger mechanism.

The Slovakian athlete Danka Bartekova shot the second Gold medal of her international career with an excellent score of 97 hits, by shooting-off Thailand’s Sutiya JIEWCHALOEMMIT 2 to 1 hit.

Bartekova had walked into the final match in third place, with a qualification score of 73 hits, and climbed the scoreboard to the highest step of the podium with a perfect final of 25 hits.

This is not the first time Bartekova shoots an award in Cairo “This must my lucky city! I had won my first World Cup Gold here in Cairo, in 2006, shooting at old range, and a Silver medal at the 2001 World Championships, as junior shooter! This new range is beautiful, it’s a great place to compete.”

The Slovakian athlete had walked into the Games as one of the favourites, but once in Beijing she struggled and could not find her way to the medal match. “That was a completely new situation for me, stressing me quite a bit. This is a new start… so great to be back on Cairo’s podium!”

“I met some of the best Skeet shooter of the world in today’s final. It has not been easy, I’ve only been thinking about my targets…I will now come to compete at the ISSF World Cup Stages in Munich and San Marino, we’ll see how tables will turn there” added the Slovakian athlete.

Today’s Silver medallist Sutiya Jiewchaloemmit had qualified this morning thorough an outstanding qualification series, where she had equalled the current World Record of 74 hits (set at the 2005 ISSF World Cup in Belgrade by Elena Little, GBR, and equalled seven times since then). The Thai shooter struggled with the light during the final match, and dropped two determinant clays in the first part of the round finishing in the shoot-off with Slovakia’s Bartekova.

Beijing’s Olympic Champion Chiara CAINERO of Italy did not play her best game today. The 31-year old shooter, current #1 in the world raking, started the final with a qualification score of 73 targets, only one target behind qualification’s leader Jiewchaloemmit.

Later on, during the final match, Cainero struggled on station 4, dropping two clays, and on stations five and eight, where she lost two more determinants targets. Beijing’s champion closed the match in fourth place, outdoing world #3 Andri ELEFTHEROU of Cyprus in a shoot-off 6 to 5 targets.

Bronze went to USA’s Connie SMOTEK, an expert ISSF World Cup multi-medallist coming form Texas, who climbed the scoreboard form the fifth to the third place, stepping upon the podium with a total score of 95 hits (70+25).

“I am very happy with the way that I shot today, and with the Bronze medal! This is the only world cup where I am competing this year.” Smotek said right after the final round “I really loved competing in this shooting range!” the American shooter added right before stepping on the podium.

USA’s team great performance was highlighted alos by the 18-year old shooter Caitlin CONNOR. The young shooter had never participated in an ISSF competition before, and debuted on Cairo’s ranges by making into the six-athlete final through a shoot-off and by getting a sixth place with a total of 90 hits (70+20).

The Skeet Men final will take place tomorrow, scheduled at 2 PM Cairo Time (GMT+3).
After the first competition day, Ukraine’s Mikola MILCHEV is leading the provisory rank with a full score of 75 hits out of 75 targets. Behind him, Olympic Champion Ennio FALCO of Italy follows with 74 hits, and the home player, Egypt Franco DONATO is not that far, with 73 hits.

All major sport and military targets are included in the program. Depending on the model of electronic target used, this program can imitate distances from 10 to 1000 meters. At the same time it is even possible to print off the desired target in the required scale, directly from the program.

Aiming Trace – measures the weapon’s movement relative to the target, both before and after shooting. Accurate measurement of the trajectory provides precise information about aim and point of impact.

The trajectory sections are highlighted in different colors (default settings: aim before shooting – green, one second before shooting – yellow, after shooting – red). You can easily change the colors of the trajectory sections, as well as add supplementary colors.

Zooming onto the target, with the help of the mouse or keyboard, will let you closely scrutinize the section of the trajectory you are interested in.

The program automatically repeats the aiming trajectory right after the shot is fired, as whilst aiming, the shooter is unable to watch the computer display.

Target’s centre distance – this analysis is represented by two graphs. The first one depicts the distance from the aiming trajectory’s points to the target’s centre, both vertically and horizontally.

The second graph shows absolute deflection of the trajectory’s points from the centre of the target. Both graphs provide the information about the same shot.

Coordination graph depicts the absolute deflection of the trajectory’s points from the centre of the target (see above), including the entire number of shots fired during the training session. It is one of the most important indicators of the shooter’s coordination. It highlights loss of control over the weapon in the last moments before firing.

The term co-ordination means the ability of the shooter to choose the optimal moment of shot release within his ( her ) ability of holding steadiness. This is one of the most important criteria by which the shooter’s ability as a competitor can be judged. This ability to choose an optimal moment of final shot release can partly compensate for insufficient steadiness.

Co-ordination is analyzed by averaged curve of the values of , It is plotted in some time interval prior to the shot. The value of R(t), and in particular the character of the change (increase or decrease) in the final 0,2-0,3 second, are characteristic of the degree of co-ordination ability of the shooter. The faster the R(t) value grows in last 0,2 second, the lower the shooter’s co-ordination ability, i.e. more likely the aiming of the rifle or pistol becomes worse in the final moment of triggering.

Shift of shooting moment – this graph not only shows the result of the shooting at the moment of firing, but also it can be compared with the possible result, if firing had occurred a fraction of a second earlier.

Speed of aiming trajectory – this graph represents the speed of the trajectory’s movement on the target, effectively measuring a shooter’s steadiness.

It is a very useful graph for analysis of the steadiness and of shooting between heartbeats.

Intervals between the shots – this diagram illustrates the best timing points of the each shot and time intervals between them. Based on this data, a shooter can select his/her optimum shooting pace.

Result probability – provides possible results of a shooter, if he/she uses a weapon and ammunition of a different quality.

All data is automatically recorded in a folder, where training files are grouped according to the name of the exercise and last name of the shooter. This data is then organized in such a way as to make it convenient to search for. It is even possible to exchange files, or send them to any person, for example, to a coach living in a different location to the shooter.
