    Oh this all looks like it should be a good bit of fun - might even make me practice a bit more rather than getting bored and shooting various out of date fruit (bought with good intentions of healthy living (which lasts as far as the chocolate biscuit and alcohol aisle's at the supermarket )

    Could i have my name down please

    It's lots more fun than the fruit, Stuart.

    Also had another idea at the same time.....
    As some pellets suit some guns better than others - how about sharing the gun & pellet info. with the scores?
    That way we might lock onto a better combination than our current set-ups...

    Hi

    I've updated the score sheet with your idea.

    What pistol are you using by the way?

    Regards
