Reply With QuoteI use an old BSA scorpion, weights a ton but good for working on that wobble when one handed shooting.
I also use a BB pistol for eye excercise. You reach 50 and your sight starts playing trick so you gotta excercise it.

Recently dusted off my old Jumbo Rekord .177 and set up a 10m range in the garden to keep my eye in, any of you guy's shoot a humble airpistol to hone your shooting skills? Forgot what fun shooting in the garden can be hee heee.
I shoot and I vote

Me, too!
Yes, mate, I also enjoy backyard plinking with an air pistol. Also, just can't get to the range as frequently as I like. I don't own any BP pistols, but do enjoy the occasional range session with a cartridge pistol.Originally Posted by john paul

When I retire, my dream is to live somewhere rural enough that I can fire a BP gun on my own property! You can't do so on an indoor range
Then again, I do fire BP cannon: but, that's another story!

We fire m/l indoors at my club Jim. We can only get the six shots off in the same time the .22 rifles fire 20 shots at 2 targets because we have to wait between every 2 shots so the smoke can be cleared.
There are some massive fans drawing air through the range but it is possible to have 2 at a time with m/l. The range has only got 4 tubes that we shoot down.
