Right!

I wish I could be doing so abysmally bad with my Beeman, The BEST card I ever shot was 37/50; TYPICAL card is far worse.Originally Posted by derekm

I assume this will be iron sights only? (I hope so; I don't own a scope!)

Hi Jim
welcome on board
gotta admit I had not even thought about anything other than iron sights being used.
But, yes, iron sights are the order of the day.

Tres bien!
My kind of a pistol competition, where "one hand" and "open sights", go without saying!

I`m up for this when all the niceties are settled. I`ve dusted off the FWB 90 and on a trial run I`ve managed:-
Card 1 Card 2 Card 3 Card 4
43 45 37 42 167/200 total using R10 4.49x7.7grn.
Card 3 was a disaster; must do better.

Me too! In the meantime I shot a couple of the "6 Yard" targets for practice:
40, 35, 31, 33.
Not so good for a lot of shooters, but very good for me.

Keep at it Jim and it will click in place, especially with a pneumatic. My PB with a Daisy 717 was 88/100 and with the Alfa it's 95. These are single cards though, not averages. It's a shock to the system going back to a (modest) springer, but satisfying if and when it works!I wish I could be doing so abysmally bad with my Beeman, The BEST card I ever shot was 37/50; TYPICAL card is far worse.

... but which I reckon was worth it as it should remove any doubt we're all using the same sizes, at least within tolerances that make it insignificant.
Looks as though NSRA adopted the ISSF 'standard', but there are otherwise enough variations out there, including some which may be defunct, but you'd bet remain lying around in dim dark corners of cupboards.
Attached is my final attempt to satisfy, so has three options:
1 & 2 : two 10M editions - one with a single target out to the 1 ring and one with 4 bulls on a page for the brave souls who are confident they can hit 5+ every shot
and
3 : a single page with 4 full targets, but scaled down for shooting at 6 YARDS.
Before anyone says anything, the 4x10M sheet bulls LOOK bigger compared with the single. It's an illusion!
All the best
