Gamo 10m Pistol Competition

[pollythedog]

HI Stephen
welcome aboard.
can't help with members in your area I am afraid, but no doubt someone will be along who can.
One of the guys from the board (Nige) has a site with some excellent Gamo info and mods that can be done.
see http://www.postcardfromspain.com/airgunclub.htm

best tip...practice, practice, practice!
It does work.

Try to cock the gun slighty away from your body as it is easy to trap part of yourself in it!

Cheers
Graeme

My October scores: 39, 41, 35, 44. I'm annoyed at myself for that 35. I know that I can do better than that! Best of luck to all shooting cards for October.

I know the feeling, you feel great, you have just done a good card and then without reason it all seems to go out the window, I usually sit down and have a Yorkie...or two!

Scores updated.

I realise you are all practsing like mad until the last moment...but don't forget scores need to be posted here on, or before the 25th.

My scores from today, I nearly forgot to do this!!

Been in Scotland working and no practice this month and shot outside with it drizzling today. At least the sun wasn't shining in my eyes for a change

1) 43 - 10-9-8-8-8
2) 41 - 9-8-8-8-8
3) 43 - 10-9-8-8-8
4) 45 - 10-9-9-9-8

Total = 172 a slight improvement on last month with better grouping for the most part, but still not centred exactly on the bull

Cheers

Done today,

10 10 9 9 9 = 47
10 9 9 9 8 = 45
10 10 9 9 8 = 46
10 9 8 8 8 = 43
Total = 181

Went 'off the boil on the last set, tired after HFT yesterday and started to wobble a little.

And also avoid anything with caffene e.g. Tea, Coffee, Coke, Red Bull etc.
Chocolate is meant to be a good choice.

Hopefully other scores will arrive before the end of the day.

I think that actually helped, I only did 2 sighting shots as it was cold and getting wetter and just 'got on with it', no messing about and just shot without checking where they went, everything in the black and no corrections seems to help the grouping.

The daft thing is that I don't get any benefit from the trigger technique when shooting HFT as I shoot rifles left handed and pistols right handed.

Cheers
