How long can you hold your breath?

I try to practice. I think it's quite fun, you're always moving your boundaries, trying to get a better time. What about you?

@GentleReader: ye sometimes will see how long i can hold my breath. what other stuff you do??

@trackboy: Rifle shooting.

@GentleReader: @GentleReader: what kind of rifle and how far???

@trackboy: It is a special kind of rifle to fit European norms. It basically uses air instead of gunpowder. Most of them are made by German companies. Such as: Anschutz, Walther and Feinwekbau (which is the model I use). The distance is just 10 meters, but here's the twist: the target is not even 5cm big and there's no magnification. It is just a very, very tiny dot. I have included a picture of what kind of rifle I use.

wow is air rifle then. would need sharp vision for that. and you would be holding your breath when squeezing the trigger

@trackboy: Yeah, they say so. You have to hold your breath indeed, but not for too long as it will destabilize the rifle, which leads to a certain miss. Shooting this kind of weapons seems easy for an outsider, but the technique is actually really complicated. But I don't think I have to tell you that :) Do you have any experience with rifles, perhaps?

yes we shoot rifles and handguns pretty regularly. lot of people own guns here for protection from criminals as well as for sport. lot of crime in bigger cities and they have become free fire zones with the crackle of automatic gun fire at night.
