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

Hi

Just came across this thread - is it too late to join in?

I've had my Gamo compact a couple of years. One of the first things I did was to investigate the trigger adjustment. I havent changed the spring but found that the adjustment screw is the same type as those used to fix electrical switches / sockets to their plastic boxes.

After experimenting a bit I cut one of these bolts down from the original inch to about 1 cm , filed a new screwdriver notch in one end and replaced the original adjuster screw which , as has been pointed out , is too short.

As yet I havent had a missfire - going off when one closes the barrel - but the let-off weight is pretty light. Much better that as was originally supplied.

Cheers

Hi Russ
feel free to join in, we seem to have had a few folk dropout of the last round, however as it is mainly for fun and practice with only a token prize then its not a problem.
As you have no doubt read in the threads it is more about keeping the pistol in use.

I have had requests to look at opening out the competition, so after this one has run its course will look at what other pistols people are happy competing with, initially I am thinking just about anything except pcp, this would open it up to a bigger audience, and I believe would still leave the Gamo with a fighting chance in the right hands ( Snooper601 for instance seems to be making the gun very much his own!)
Again welcome, and look forward to adding your scores to list list on or before the 25th.
regards
Graeme

If you do open it out, I'd enjoy taking part with my Alfa CO2. Even though it carries a silly price in this country (if you can find it) it only cost a little more than the Gamo in it's native Czech Republic. Like the Tau, it is certainly not very exotic!

The IZH 46 would be another good candidate
