Gamo 10m Pistol Competition

[pollythedog]

HI Roger
welcome on board, certainly consistent!
Improvement is what its all about, hopefully competing will spur us all on a bit, and of course the palm shelf should help.
No doubt see you next week at the club.
cheers

I will shoot my last two cards at Sutton Coldfield this PM. Thanks to all who are taking part.

My last two scores for September: 34x50 and 42x50. Slight improvement with the last card! My score for September is 152x200. To encourage entries, I will put the names of everyone who enters (except me) in my hat and will pick someone out at random. The name chosen will get a special Gamo Pistol Competition prize sent to them. It will have to be a UK resident as it might cost too much to post abroad.

Cheers Rockphoon, kind of you to add some extra interest to the competition.
a nice 42 in your cards as well, don't know about you but I get quite a buzz just breaking the 40 point barrier.

Cheers

i have left my girlfriend with instructions to purchase a gamo compact.
she is left handed, and i am right handed, this could be interesting!
what targets do we need?
do we send you the cards?
we should be submitting scores soon.

HI Petroc, nice to have you on board, you must have agreat girlfriend if you can leave her with instructions to buy, if I told mine to buy a gamo compact she would come back with a pot of makeup or a small family car!

Targets are standard NSRA 10m pistol targets.
Rather than get messed up wityh posting and all its hazards, the entrants agreed to be honest and just report their scores here on this thread, they are then updated by me further up the same thread. Their is a token prize of a tin of pellets (High Speed Match Kugeln .177) and Rockphoon is kindly adding a mystery award to a randomly chosen entrant. The competition is really not about prizes though, more to get you to use and become more proficient with your gun and enjoy using it and the challenge of improvement, shooting against others adds that extra motivation.

Cheers and good luck
Graeme

I'm up for this, not fired my Compact for ages so it'll be good to get it out

Can I clarify some rules please?

I assume it's one handed shooting, as 10m?
Is there a specific height for the target above the floor in the 10m rules?
Had you thought about scans of the targets as an alterntive to photos?

Now to start modding the trigger and adding lead to the front

Cheers

John

Hi John welcome on board,
One handed? yes.

Height of target...er I will have to measure my clubs targets and let you know what height they are at, not considered this question before as I assumed most entrants would be club shotters with a standard height target. Good question.

Photos/scans, it was generally felt that we are all honest people on here and as we are not competing for an enourmous prize that submitting scores on this thread would suffice, and not everyone has access to scanners etc. However, should anyone wish to display their cards they are more than welcome to.
When we get Gamo Compact 10m to hit the big time and we get a national team together between us then we may have to address the scrore submission method again!

Cheers
Graeme
p.s. monthly scores when submitted are compiled on a relpy further back on this thread.

If your sticking to the ISSF rules then the target height should be:

The centre of the target should be 1.4m +/-0.05m above the level of the floor of the firing point

Not sure if your following the ISSF rules.

Thanks for the target height info, I need a new screw in the shed door then

Shooting in the back garden so wind may be a laugh as the year progresses

Cheers
