[Pad. E]

Thank you for taking part in the first comp welldone to everyone! There's some changes for this competition. There will be four categories, just need to know your criteria for each one. If your name's not down, you're not coming in :D

I've set the date as follows.

Competition:Saturday 31st May - Saturday 7th June
(That people shoot at the club, they have two saturdays)

Submit Scores: Saturday 31st May - Saturday 7th June
(By PM only the latest being 7th 16:00 or score won't count, once ALL scores are in they will be made public, gives it more suspence. ;))

I just need your PISTOL,TYPE & CALIBRE that is being used

I think that will be enough entries for Spring, Single Stroke, Co2 & PCP for me to handle. Sorry for anyone who was thinking of partcipitating.

If you can see PCP & Single Stroke has a different percentage merit than the other two categories. You were all to good with the Single Stroke on the last one :p



The rules :

Type: Spring Pistol / Single Stroke Pistol / Co2 /PCP (to be stated when submitting score).

Sights: Open sights only

Stance: Top two targets two handed / Bottom two targets one handed (that way it caters for everyone & abit different)

Targets: Follow link on post #1 >HERE< (http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=270186) using the target with 4 targets on it.

Range: Set at 6yds (That is the longest I can shoot in the back garden)

Shots: 10/15 practice shots, then 5 shots per target

Date: Anytime in the first week of every month. Starting May 31st.

Scoring: If the pellet breaks into two points i.e 8 & 9, you score the highest number

Final scores: PM me with scores by Saturday 7th 16:00.
(earlier the better, so I can keep up to date easier)

Update scores: I'll put on the thread Sunday 8th.

If anyone has any questions just let me know & good luck.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still running a virtual badge system, according to the scores that we get.
They are as follows :-
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b312/PaddyE/Pistol%20Competition/Percentages.jpg

I will have all your scores worked out in percentage & award the relative virtual badge. :D

This Months badge design will be done by Firestorm.

Then each month someone else can design a different set of badges.

Regards
Paddy. :)

Hi Paddy
Can you put me in for the CO2 class as well as the springer please. I will be using my Colt 1911 .177 with the Umarex pellets.
Cheers Keith

Hi Paddy,
No option for all 4 then?:D
OOPS! Just realised you can tick as many boxes as you want:D

If allowed I'll do all 4 with the following:-

SSP = Gamo Compact .177 Hobby
Spring = HW45 .177 Hobby
PCP. = Rohm Top .177 Hobby
CO2 = Drulov DU10 .177 Hobby

Last 2 subject to testing.

Hi Guys

I've updated my files on the PC , I will updated the BBs sheet in a bit

I wondered how long before someone mentioned that :p

I heard you re-bored it like they used to do with the cars, old mk2 engines into a 2.1 pinto :D

I've now updated the sheet on the BBs, so you can now see who are up against ;)

Regards
Paddy. :)

[biggles]

Hi Paddy

Looks like an interesting variation (the two-handed & one-handed bit), so please log me for a 'go' in the June round.

I'll be shooting an HW75 (girlie calibre) - so in the SSP class.

Do we have to stick with a nominated pellet? Not a big issue but, depending on my mood and time of the month, I have tended to switch between RWS CO2 Target and Dynamit Nobel Diabolokugein fur Gewehre und Pistolen (fit that in your box :eek::))

I won't have to download the target .... as t'was mine in the first place :D, originally produced for Pollythedog's comp which ends this month (and for which I must get shooting!)

Hi Biggles

Well I can't really say no to you as they were your targets in the first place ;) :D

As for the pellet thing, you can change if you like. You can either leave it blank or let me know when submitting your scores.

I've updated my sheet, but not the BBs one.

Paddy. :)

Not too much to tell Jim...I've done metal detecting on and off since the mid seventies and have found hoards...of rubbish!!!..lol!!
Most times I go out I find some pistol or musket shot and probably now have a few hundred...I do curse airgun pellets though, so small, they take some separating from the mud....:rolleyes:
Favourite find is a Bronze Age axe head dated about 1500 BC...lovely to look at and handle...:cool:
Eric.

[Firestorm]

Sorry Paddy,

my EB22 is .22 calibre:).... bigger dia. hole might help my score...;)

I'm not in the PCP category either mate, I wish I could afford to be tho';)

And no Eric, we're not having an axe throwing competition.............:D:p

[Adam77K]

Hi Paddy

I'm up for some of this. Can I enter 3 categories?
Spring: Feinwerkbau 65
SSP: HW75
CO2: Walther CP88 Competition

All .177 and at the moment all 3 will be with RWS CO2 target pellets, but this may change.

Could you just clarify a couple of things please. This is June's competition, but will run only between 31st May and 7th June. After scores submitted on 7th, that's it; comp over for June.

On the targets there is a ring inside the 10 (10.1 ring?). I take it this will not be used in this comp?

Cheers

Hi.

I've put you in the 3 categories you asked for. I'll try & update the BBs sheet in abit.


& you're basically answered your own questions there. :)

One of my per usual typo errors that I've worded this as 'July's Competition' it should read 'June's competition' :o

I'm surprised no one has picked that up :p sorry.

To Clarify the comp is only run within 31st -7th, send me the scores by PM by 16:00 on the 7th. Then that is it until the first week in July. & as you say the 10.1 ring doesn't count.

Regards
Paddy. :)

I think that is fascinating! I was considering getting a metal detector: problem is, restrictions on where you can use it. Public land's a no-no, and I own only a city backyard! :D

Hi guys updated my sheet. Will updated the BBs sheet this afternoon. As I'm going to bed, as I've just finished work.

I think that will be enough entries for Spring, Single Stroke & Co2 for me to handle. Sorry for anyone who was thinking of partcipitating. Well you should of asked earlier :D However I'm willing to have more entries for the PCP.

Regards
Paddy. :)

[jinx]

I will have a go in the pcp class - Rohm Twinmaster Top / jsb .177. I also put single stroke Pneumatic down on the vote (if you want to put it in - Snooper only told me about the comp last night!) Webley Nemesis / jsb .177.

Cheers

Hi Mark,

See if you can get Colin to enter with his FX Ranchero:cool:

Got off early last night because Health and Safety refused some of the stunts after the failure on the 'Wall of fire'. Really FUBARed his Harley:rolleyes: reached 26 of 31 fire walls and then his engine stopped from Oxygen starvation:eek:

[Pete R]

Hi Paddy

Can you add me to the CO2 section, I hadn't posted earlier as I wasnt sure which pistol I'll use. Lets say 1911A1 in .177 with RWS Hobby.

Cheers.

Pete

[Pigeonhunter200]

[Snooper601]

?????????????????

This is a poll to let PadE know if there was enough interest in having 4 classes in the pistol comp that started last month. Spring power, Single Stroke Pneumatic, CO2 and Precharged Pneumatic.

We all shoot at 4 targets, 2 x 2 handed and 2 x 1 handed, 5 shots each target. You do this for each category you have selected, with the pistol you entered in each class.

Cheers

John

Unfortunately it wont work because they've not developed the proper targets yet. :p

Hey where'd this thread come from? I thought the last couple of days had been quiet. lol

I prefer the scoresheet as it is, in alphabetical order, 6th place, woohoo! BTW Paddy, did I mention my Sunday name is Aardvaark? :p

[harvey_s]

Hi all

I've been using pieces of fibreboard taped together with the pargets pinned to it to shoot & practice for this comp.
But it soon gets shot to bits:mad:

I found this american website offering really nice holder/traps for paper targets.
http://www.archerairguns.com/airgun-pellet-trap-s/6.htm
Will cost too much to get sent over here... but I've found its possible to cobble together something similar quite cheaply.:D

Basic taget holder is a hardboard clipboard with the centre jigsawed out
(the clipboards are very cheap @£1.99 each and come with the metal clip)

I've stuffed mine with rags and this catches the pellets a treat.

If you tuck the bottom of the paper under the bottom of the clipboard it holds the paper quite tightly.

It also helps on the scoring front as the pellet hole folds inwards - if you flap it back - you get a great POI mark that makes scoring 100% accurate.

Could be an opportunity for some enterprising soul with more time than I to make a batch for others perhaps?

[eredel]

Nice target holder Harvey....:cool:
Eric.

[cookie]

Built a gun cupboard a while back from scratch so this should be be to hard, let you know how i get on. :D

Because he grovelled I couldn't say no could I ;)

As for BBs it's up to him, as the pistol is a Co2.

And before anyone asks I'm not going to do another Bloody sheet for either BBs or Airsoft!! :mad: :p :D

And he is a paid up member of the UBC. ;)

Ha! A little honest grovelling goes a long way!:D:D

I'll shoot the PPK single shot with AA fields if it keeps things simple.

Thanks :)

I've improved by 22 points :cool: However it's / I'm still pants :o :D

I need to!!!:D

No Problem as it's PCP, I'll update the score sheet.

So good luck to everyone for this competition. :)

Hi All
Following on from Pade post, I have also shot a few practice targets:D:D well quite a few actually and my best to date is a total of 125 some 33 point improvement:D:D:D:D mind you I still throw in the odd sub 100 score with some real fliers:( not sure if its me or the pellets as the Umarex pellets do seem a bit variable in the breech:confused: Not long now and the target will be for the comp:D

That's superb,125 :eek:, I'm going to have to get some practice in this weekend....... or start thinking up some excuses! :p

As for pellets, I've never tried any others but I'm using RWS Hobby and when I miss I know it's not down to the gun or the pellets, it's me every time.

If I rest my hands on a table and hold the gun in two hands I can get excellent groups so I'd definitely recommend them if you fancy a change. I think they're fairly cheap compared to some others as well, always a bonus.

[mxgb]

Cheers Graham
I bet when the comp target goes up my scores will go down:) I will try the RWS Hobby's

[/creep mode on] Dearest Mr Pad. E, having arrived a little late to the party, and noticing your, no more peeps, statement on page one I was, to say the least, a little disheartened :( and accept that if you let me in, I can imagine it would be a lot of work for your already heavy workload, what with all the camo projects :) and everything.

So I'd understand if you can't say yes, come on in and join the fun, which is a shame really as I feel that Blackpool may be a little under-represented in the competition and I'm sure I'll represent the town well.

Should you be in a position to add another member to the exclusive, well respected, list of members I would very much appreciate it :) [/creep mode off]

Seriously, if anyone drops out then please put me on your standby list :)

They're not cheap but they seem to be the best in all my pistols...;)
ATB...Eric.

These are good pellets all my ladie's love them, but they are just to pricey, so i have to settle for the H & N Match Kugeln, How much do you pay for yours Eric?

£7.59 from our sponsor, Jason, cheaper if you buy 10 tins which I may do when I'm getting low on pellets and I'm feeling flush....but I use Geco, Co2 Target, Bisley Practice and R 10 Match when practicing....;)

unlikely i'll be able to shoot in junes comp....got no pellets as my local shop closed down and i have things to find funds for at the mo.

if Northern35s wants my place then let him in :) shame to deny the chap a place as i can't shoot.

[Big Mat]

im probably not going to be able to shoot junes comp either. been too busy with other projects to get my pistol and fix it.

Thanks for that dude, shame you can't shoot, but I think my grovelling post earlier may have done the trick ;)

Hi Guys

I've updated the the score sheets with information given on first post. Still need a few people to input some stuff.

Good luck with the competition :)

And may the banter begin next week ;) :D

Regards
Paddy. :)

[eredel]

Hi Paddy,
H&N Match K pellets in my Rohm for the PCP section same as my other pistols....:)
Cheers...Eric.

[Jim McArthur]

Eredel, I notice you have a 4" S&W. Is there a reason why you opted for a 4" vs. a 6"? I'm considering getting one and am interested about your choice. :)

Jim

[eredel]

Hi Jim,
The reason I have the 4" is that a local mail order company were selling off the last of their stock of pistols and rifles and due to the VCR act it was pick-up only...they only had the 4" Nickel 686 but with Red Dot scope and dovetail rail at an exceedingly cheap price so I jumped right in there and got one...don't regret it as they're a great pistol....;)
I've been advertising for a 6" barrel but have had no luck so will probably purchase a new one...they're £65.00!!!....:eek:
So that's why I have the 4".....:)
Regards....Eric.

Many thanks

Hi All
I can't believe the comp's come round all ready:eek: I have not fired a single shot since the last comp so I best get out there and fire off a few shots:) ATB Keith

[MikeB]

Had a quick practice sesh tonight after work. The result: need more practice! :o

[Jim McArthur]

I never have much time to practice, so I figure the competition IS practice: forces me / gives me an excuse, to get out there and shoot. :)

Jim

[northern35s]

I was at the club practicing tonight, just CO2 though, which is improving nicely.

A bit off topic, but hopefully will improve my spring performance to a point where I can hit a barn door. I've taken the grip off my BSA 240 Magnum in an attempt to modify it, remove some sharp edges and finally stipple or chequer the grip, anyone any ideas how to go about stippling and what's best to use, or am I best off going at it with a dremmel. :)

[eredel]

I've not practiced either and I'm working all this weekend......:(
Better get out there next week if the evenings are fine.
