My HW70 is in for refurbishment and not sure if it will be back in time and the Original Mod 6 I've just purchased probably won't be here so looks like the good 'ol HW40 for me......thats the one with the 5 yard shoulder stock and trigger linkage that I designed especially for this competition......:D

An idea is an idea, however me personally think it's a good one. :)

It is up to you if you want to submit the pellets. But when you submit your scores just put what pellet you used ;) So one month it might be different, I just update that one accordingly.

so its ok if i use 1 pellet for double handed and a different pellet for single handed?

[Pad. E]

so its ok if i use 1 pellet for double handed and a different pellet for single handed?

Why would you want to do that :confused:

My opinion is to use 'one' set of pellets for the set targets, to save on confusion & less complicated. ;) :)

tried shooting bis mags single handed?

[ikarma70]

Surely it makes no difference? :confused:

try it and see:)

[Pad. E]

Surely it makes no difference? :confused:

I was thinking that.

I might be compelled in trying them, however I've spent so much money recently I dare not ask for some more pocket money :D

[ikarma70]

double handed bis mags are very good but single handed,you just can't manage the extra recoil.....try it:)

[ikarma70]

they are great double handed use,handful single handed.

[harvey_s]

but single handed,you just can't manage the extra recoil.....try it:)

Is it extra recoil or just the fact that a two handed grip provides a much more stable shooting platform?
My POI is considerably higher when using just one-hand - I assume that my finger around the front of the trigger guard was preventing barrel lift just through having a piston travelling toward me on firing...

[ikarma70]

if i use ftt's or superdomes single handed i get better groups but looser and higher grouping with bis mags.

[Jega]

Hi Pad ,Will it be o.k. for the young un's to have a go(under adult supervision of course) i dont reckon there is any need for a junior section as such but it'll be a bit of fun for them,and some thing else they can beat us at :D

No I'll keep that one as yours ;)

I'm still working out an excuse, but I think a gnat landed on the top of the pistol & weighed the gun down :D

[JamesB]

Does this mean that i'm not last:D:D:D:D:D i was only just thinking about seeing the results.. I reckon the second round will be harder:D;)

[mxgb]

I was rather hoping it would get a bit easier:rolleyes: Did any one else feel a bit tense when they put up their comp target, I know I did:eek: I dated and and put my name on the target before I shot it so that there was no going back and I felt very tense and pressured, and this was on my own in my garden, good job it was not a face to face on the range affair:) Still good fun and with plenty of room for improvement :D:D

[eredel]

Just shot mine this evening and had 3 non-scoring fliers but was still quite pleased with my score considering how nerve-wracking it was....:rolleyes:
Must get more practice....:o
Eric.

[JamesB]

i've been off work for the last few days (missus had a baby) and i've managed to spent a reasonable time playing pistols in the garden (she only needs to shout!:D)
So i was quite relaxed when i did mine. Doesn't mean it's any good though!!! :)

Congratulations!!!! :):):):):)

[Graham]

It's looking bad for me getting the spoon (NOT) I just printed off the targets and they're a bit bigger than the ones I used last week. I might even hit double figures.... Watch this space!

Although........ the ones I printed off appear to go up to 11, have I printed the wrong ones? They go up to eight with figures and there are three more scoring rings inside that, including the bull. Does that just count as 10 as well or have I printed the wrong target? I took the 1st page for 6 yards from the link in the first post.

HEEEEEELP!

I'll send results in tomorrow....... as long as I have something to shoot at.:p

[Graham]

Hopefully this picture will show you what I mean.....

You think it was tense.

At least you didn't know some of the scores before you got to shoot. ;)

Had my practice shots, done some good grouping. Then on the competition target it looked like I was using a blunderbus :o :D

Only about 8 people left to submit there scores. & then the next lot of banter begins :D

Hi Graham, thats the right target, (first page 4 targets on a sheet) don't worry about the bull it still only scores 10, if you submit a score of 55 out of 50 there might be problem. :D

Cheers lads, the missus had a boy. I now have one of each flavour! his sister is nearly 4 now, it's surprising how quick you forget the joy of nappies and broken sleep!!. He's got his little body clock out of sync, sleeps loads during the day so i get plenty of time plinking in the garden::):) Downside is bugger all sleep at night! you should see the black rings round my eyes!:D

Not long to wait untill the score board is revealed.....

[Jega]

Hi lads well me and my lad have just finished our first training/practice session,its taken a while to set up as .22 pellets were ricocheting off the back board all over the shop and at 6 yards the buggers sting when they hit . Any-way managed to mount the targets on a littlewoods catalogue and this has sorted out the bouncing terrors.That one handed buisness isnt as easy as you think is it?.
The real shoot off starts tomorrow night as soon as i finish work, we've decided 5 practice shots each then GAME ON.
Jordan (my lad )doesn't know it yet but this weeks pocket money might be on hold if i lose:D

Sorry lads I'm not going to be able to shoot and post results in time. I have a house full of visitors (and have had all week) and need to shoot upstairs through two rooms to be able to make the 6 yards, without beginning divorce procedures.
I can't shoot outside or I'd get the opportunity to check out which firearms the local armed response team are using PDQ. :(

I'll try and shoot it tomorrow when I should have more space or have time to get my arse down the range.

Sorry.

Hi Pete

If you can submitt your score Saturday evening I'll put it on the score sheet. I don't people will mind, will except for 'cookie' who's getting abit impatient :D . As in part of the rules you have until Saturday to submit them to me ;)

I know it can be hard to find the 'right' time when at home to shoot.

So next month I'm looking at slightly differnt days so to accommadate people that shoot at the range at the weekend.

Regards
Paddy. :)

Yup, the suspense is killing me. I was actually delighted with my scores although I'm still expecting the spoon.

I've only been shooting a couple of months and still haven't even finished my first tin of pellets so all things considered I'm happy.

I've had another entry to the comp & 5 more to submit theres.

As soon as they are done I'll get that thread up. oh am I loving this (need an evil smiley :D)

That is the main thing is that you enjoy it. This gives you more 'purpose to go out & shoot. I've had my HW45 for years & never took it seriously until now. I'm a real pants shot & when I suggested doing this I knew I'd never come first, but I'm enjoying it & trying to improve.

Regards
Paddy. :)

[harvey_s]

Could'nt agree me more, I'm lovin' this.....
And this is why I'm quite happy to come last....cos' the only way is up!:D
But my shootin' is improving leaps & bounds ~ come within 6m of me now & I'll have ya eye out (if I poke you with the muzzle!):o

Pad. E you're a legend for comin' up with this compo.:D:D:D

[cookie]

I must say I now am thinking about each shot, my hold, stance, instaed of just getting as much lead down the range as quick as possible.

and the end result is making me enjoy it even more. :D:D:D

Mind you not as much as Paddy at the moment, You evil son of a gun. :p;)

[ikarma70]

just get the bloody scores up:p

[Pad. E]

just get the bloody scores up:p

I would if I had everyones scores in :p































Or would I? :D

Excuses already! :D

Jim

[Pete R]

OK my scores are in. :)

I had to sneak in a quick shoot while the missus was out at the shops with a friend. Managed to sort out six yards form along the upstairs landing and into the Loo, where my targets, and cardboard backstop were balanced on top of the wicker bath towel box. It would have been really expensive if I'd had a bad shot as the only thing behind all this is the double glazed bathroom window. :eek:

Next month I'm shooting across the bedrooms with both doors open (more than 10m) no matter who is staying. I'll just have to design a range flag and danger notice for the bottom of the stairs. :D

Pete

[Pad. E]

Update gentleman.

only three more people to submit there scores.

As soon as they are all in I'll PM you the new Results Thread :)

Thank you for taking part :) & look forward to the banter on the results thread :D

Regards
Paddy. :)

Hi Folks......as we allow spring and single stroke pneumatics in the comp I honestly cant see a reason why we cant allow pcp pistols as shooting them is basically the same as a single stroke and I can see no special advantages here...just my thoughts as I now have all three af these varieties and would enjoy shooting them all in the comp...I shoot just as cr~p with 'em all anyway!!
It is a fun comp after all...yes??.....:)
Eric.

[cookie]

I like the idea of spring and single stroke as you have to put a bit of effort in to cock it which means you have to take each shot from the begining, unlike some of our multi shot co2's where you line the first shot up and fire another 7 straight after without moving.

Though it does sound like you are offering to start up a Co2 only Comp Eric.

I'm sure Paddy would mail you his score sheet to get you started, we already have our targets and rules. I would add one rule if this goes ahead that after each shot the pistol has to return to the shooters side before the next shot can be taken. ;)

What do you say Eric :D

[cookie]

Come guy's only 4 hours left to get them scores in. :eek:

Jason ol' m8....I'm talking about pcp...pre-charged pneumatic, not Co2.
I now have a Rohm Twinmaster Sport match pistol which I would like to use in the comp...they're a standard comp pistol, single shot.....;)
Eric.

[Pad. E]

Idea.

I would submit the PCP scores but I won't put on the positions sheet. If there are more people who would like to use PCP pistols I could do a duplicate sheet. As I've already got the format all I need to do is change the wording.

We can discuss this & see what the general concenus is.

Regards
Paddy. :)

[eredel]

Don't wanna rock the boat Paddy...If most want to keep it spring and single stroke...who am I to argue....;):D
Eric.

If there are a few people that have PCP pistols, I can do another score sheet at the same time as I've already set the format.

Lets see how popular it will be.

Hi I'm considering it.

I shall be doing a suggesting/poll for Junes comp soon enough.

With the idea of four catogories:- Spring / Single Stroke / Co2 / PCP

I've just been doing another spead sheet, so if it's a go ahead I can use it straight away ;)

Just need to know how many will be wanting to use what type. I say a minimum of 5 per catogory. Spring & SSP are already sorted, just the other two need to be finalised.

Regards
Paddy. :)
