Spring Power Pistol Competition.

As I recall, it's for springers and single stroke pneumatics.

Mine's an SSP, so it goes "pump, Phuut", not "pump, pump, Phuut".

You sir, are of course right.....
I was thinking 'bout the title of the thread rather than the original post.
Pay no mind to me, I am just appalled by my own lack of talent.
I shall practice more & not give in to the temptation to upgrade the hardware to compensate for my wobbly hands

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

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

You too, mate? I get really aggravated with myself, sometimes. But then, just once in awhile, I shoot a little better, and it makes my world a better place.

I think you have it right about the equipment, too. We both would probably be better practicing more with what we already have, than thinking a new pistol is the answer. My Beeman, I am sure, shoots way better than I will ever shoot it.

And I have the same problem with my hands! I tell my wife, "I can't dance, but my pistol sure can! " I thought maybe more weight might be the answer, but then some tell me otherwise.

In any case, I'm going to try that trick with lead fishing weights and see if it helps.

Cheers!

1 yard would be better as I could lean forward and place the pellet in the target.....
The Rohm Sport I've got coming will be wasted ........but the Original Mod 6 that's also on the way won't be....

Yup!!.......think I may have to let one of the HWs go if the two new 'uns are keepers...

For me, the spirit of airgun pistol shooting is firmly encompassed with the HW45's and BSA Magnums. Lovely to shoot and feel great to master the recoil. I'll be looking for a HW45 in .177 very soon.

With me it's trying 'em all and keeping the best ones no matter what name or nationality...
Good luck with the 45 search....think I may regret selling mine...

Dirty-minded beggar!!!!....

Insufficient rest between hand-cranking and shooting might be a major factor here
All that pumping, its gotta make ya a bit wobbly!
But if you get someone else to do the pumping for you - where's the sense of satisfaction in that?

That's what I'll be using , as for mastering the recoil no comment

I think it's very satisfying when the pumping is done by someone else. But I do know what you mean about pumping air-pistols yourself

It only takes a single stroke......but that's enough each shot to make the old wrist ache after about 50 shots..with the HW40 that is...
