Gamo 10m Pistol Competition

[Powderfinger]

Time for kick off with the first two cards from me and my friend, John...

"Chucky" Rockphoon (1) 37x50 (2) 39x50 [Gamo Compact, RWS Hobby, 24.8.7]
John "The Postie" Brotherton (1) 39x50 (2) 36x50 [Compact, pellets unknown, 24.8.7]

Not high scores yet but we'll shoot another couple of cards and see how things go. John tends to compete with the rifle rather than the pistol but I'm a pistolman through and through so I should be getting better results than that.

Anyone else had a go yet?

[pollythedog]

Just to clarify the rules as such.

Gamo Compact ( Gamo PR45 allowable also as it is the same pistol without the anatomical grips)

Targets. Standard NSRA 10m Pistol Targets shot at 10m
Max 20 practise shots, then shoot 4 cards, 5 pellets per card
Card scores to be submitted on this thread by the 25th of each month.
Highest total score after 6 months becomes the winner.
1st card scores to be submitted by 25th Sept 2007

Should everyone wish to continue after the first competition then any changes/improvements to the format will be discussed prior to the next competition.

I will use this reply to update scores as they come in.

Highest single card shot so far. 48 by Snooper601 (Jan)

[dunn220]

hi, ive not done mine yet, however regards the Asi/Gamo falcon, i had one years ago, its was a spring underlever pistol and would be at a disadvantage against us Compact shooters... but if they want too, i would say that the PR45 (compact with normal grips) would be comparable and maybe the AF10 too (no adjustable trigger though)......

unless we have a Handicap system/class system....


just my 2ps worth, chaps

cheers

Sorry G
I gave you duff info on Falcon
As Paul says it is a spring gun
Just to clarify on models, this is an advert from a 1990 AGW

Gamo Falcon - spring underlever - £42
Gamo Centre - spring underlever (no safety) with better grips - £52
Gamo Target - spring underlever with anatomical grips - £62
Gamo PR15 - pneumatic repeater using lead ball - £53
Gamo PR45 - single stroke pneumatic with plastic grips - £63
Gamo Compact - single stroke pneumatic with anatomical walnut grips -£89.95
Sorry no mention of AF10 (perhaps it's a later model?)

Ok guys just to make it a bit more intersting (only a bit mind, they don't call me "Arkwright" for nothing in my village!) The eventual winner at the end of 6 months will get a tin of 500 High Speed Match Kugeln .177 pellets as a token prize. I would say they were supplied by one of my business's but don't know if I am allowed to mention the website, if anyone wants to know PM me!

Best of luck
Graeme
p.s. cheers for the update on the gun models guys, I am guessing anyone with a PR45 should be able to enter as well as they only have a grip difference.

[Powderfinger]

Me and John would like to consider those scores as our first two match cards. We'll submit another two by the 25th. Slightly against the rules, I know but I was keen to get this contest kicked off. For next month, we'll shoot all 4 cards in one go. On pistols, I have no objection to anyone using the other Gamo pistols but the Compact is definitely the best one to use - SSP, target grips, direct-loading breech, adjustable trigger and chunky Patridge style sights. A chap at Sutton Coldfield R&PC uses a FAS pistol and it's obvious where Gamo copied the compact from. If enough people are prepared to chip in, I'll get some Gamo Pistol Comp 2007 souvenir medals printed. Don't expect them to be made of gold though!

[pollythedog]

Well done to serrowman with a new personal best, the practice is starting to pay off.
Cheers

I know I'm last & holding up the league but I seem to have only scored 13 in November???

Please pay attention as you were actually there when I shot the last cards!!!

Are you sure Rog? Just checked and according to what I see it says 113.

Interestingly though I notice gaps in between the dashes which don't show when I try and edit them out.

Anyone else not seeing the fuull scores???

[pollythedog]

Rockphoon, Snooper601, score updated. Thank you.

With a score of 181 I don't think you need any excuses Snopper! Well done.

Rockphoon, nice to see you are maintaining your higher scores as well.

by the way if someone on here knows how to set a Poll let me know, I can't figure it out and want to set one in regard to the next pistol competition. I will actually sponsor it to the extent of a voucher or payment of some sort to be used at the forum sponsors site, Ramsbottom. I tried to get a mod to pm me and run the idea by them but as no one replied I will go ahead and just do it anyway.

p.s. John where did you shoot your HFT, weren't at Kibworth by any chance were you?

Shepreth, 2nd in the recoiling, I would have done Kibworth as well if I had not been working on Saturday.

Wendover for the 2nd round of the Southern Hunters next Sunday

I ought to try out my 20mm kill Rat and my 15mm Squizzer HFT targets with the pistol for a laugh Not sure if 2 fpe will knock them down though.

Cheers

I was down at BAR on Friday and I just had to treat myself to a Compact... lovely gun and I have fancied one for quite a while, just need to find time and space to shoot it, and really need to find out how to ease of the weight of the second stage of the trigger... think I might even have a go at some of the comps on here...

Just a thought, what pellets are prefered with this gun as the ones in the tin that were with the gun are really bad, haven't found one skirt that isn't bashed.
