I would love a Compact but just cant find a 2nd hand one atm, anyone got experience of the PR-45? Could (missus not knowin') stretch to a new one as there about £100.

could get a p-800 to give myself a challenge.....

Count me and my Webley Typhoon in, 6 yards, I'm gonna have to measure from the top of the stairs to the bottom. lol

Any hints on pellet types? I'm a re-born airgun fan, had a rifle some 15 years ago and recently got the pistol and a tin of wadcutters (if that's what they're called), the flat headed ones.

Planning to buy a rifle in the next month or so as well, I was thinking of an HW97, any other recommendations?

Is it OK to post May scores yet?

If so, I did, with a Beeman P3 single-stroke pneumatic .177 with H&N wadcutters:

2-handed, 30 and 33
1-handed, 24 and 25 =

112 / 200 (worse than I did all-one-handed on Polly's competition! )


If not: then it gives me more time to practice!


But in all seriousness, I need a heavier pistol: I just can't hold that plastic piece steady enough to score well with it.

I know we are in a different time line, I didn't know it was that way ahead

Only joking.

It's the first week in May, so you've got another 10 days. What I was thinking is PM me the scores & once I've got all scores I'll make it public. Gives it abit more suspence

What do you reckon

Regards
Paddy.

Sounds good to me paddy, like a bit suspence now and again.

Shot a card yesterday definatley getting better one handed, i was surprised when shooting at 6 yards i didn't have to change my sights from 10m is this normal, or is my eye sight worse than i thought and they where ll lucky shots

keep those pellets flying boys.

This all came about because I'm in the New World.

Or maybe because you don't have Daylight Savings Time!

Cheers!

We do have daylight, but hardly any sunshine. But you're not still 10 days ahead of us

p.s If you want me to submit them scores, I will do.

No, let's just consider them as practice scores.

Hi Jim before buying a new pistol or adding wieght to your muzzle try this, get your self 12" of fishing line and a tub of lead fishing wieghts, loop and tie off the line and add wieghts to the line and loop over the muzzle so it pulls the end down, keep adding wieght until it shoots the way you want. it's a cheap option to find out the wieght required, once you know the wieght you can add it permanatley inside the muzzle.

buying a heavier pistol doesn't mean you will hold it steady, and can even have the reverse affect IMHO

Hmmm....never thought that more weight might have the reverse effect.

A problem is that the pistol cocks from the top, hinges from the front: anything attached to the muzzle would probably have to be duct-taped to the lower part of the muzzle housing, or it would interfere with cocking.

Thanks for the idea!

How would I add weight permanently inside the muzzle?

When you open the the pistol as if you are cocking it ,at the front of the pistols body where it pivots is several small square appertures,I put fishing weights in these held in with blu tacnot a very refined job but it worked in calming down the slight flip I got when shooting my HW40 which in all sense and purposes is the same pistol

I thought this comp. was for pistols that went "Boing" or "Twang", not "pump, pump, Phuut"

Cos' on first go I 'aint never gonna compete at this kinda level....
First practice today totalled 41

But it was windy, and my sights were originally set for 15 yards, and i was feelin' kinda low and then the tortoise came haring past & put me off...

[eredel]

I've been practicing today with the 6 yard targets for the first time and best I can manage at the moment is lower 30's one handed with the HW40...but I am trying to shoot with both eyes open for the first time and I think I'm getting there...
Just agreed to buy an Original Mod 6 today so hopefully have that in time to try for the May competition.
