    I was rather hoping it would get a bit easier Did any one else feel a bit tense when they put up their comp target, I know I did I dated and and put my name on the target before I shot it so that there was no going back and I felt very tense and pressured, and this was on my own in my garden, good job it was not a face to face on the range affair Still good fun and with plenty of room for improvement

    Just shot mine this evening and had 3 non-scoring fliers but was still quite pleased with my score considering how nerve-wracking it was....
    Must get more practice....

    i've been off work for the last few days (missus had a baby) and i've managed to spent a reasonable time playing pistols in the garden (she only needs to shout!)
    So i was quite relaxed when i did mine. Doesn't mean it's any good though!!!

    It's looking bad for me getting the spoon (NOT) I just printed off the targets and they're a bit bigger than the ones I used last week. I might even hit double figures.... Watch this space!

    Although........ the ones I printed off appear to go up to 11, have I printed the wrong ones? They go up to eight with figures and there are three more scoring rings inside that, including the bull. Does that just count as 10 as well or have I printed the wrong target? I took the 1st page for 6 yards from the link in the first post.

    HEEEEEELP!

    I'll send results in tomorrow....... as long as I have something to shoot at.

    Hi Graham, thats the right target, (first page 4 targets on a sheet) don't worry about the bull it still only scores 10, if you submit a score of 55 out of 50 there might be problem.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    Congratulations James, Hope mother a Baby are doing well, Boy or girl?

    A proud daddy, I'm surprised you could shoot with your head up in the clouds.

    Bring on those sleepless nights

    I'll second that congratulations James.

    However don't expect any extra points being awarded to you

    You think it was tense.

    At least you didn't know some of the scores before you got to shoot.

    Had my practice shots, done some good grouping. Then on the competition target it looked like I was using a blunderbus

    Only about 8 people left to submit there scores. & then the next lot of banter begins

    Ok just want to know how i've done now, suspence is getting to me.

    Shot my test card 12 shots 3 in each target, then my result card which i thought wasn't bad, now starting to think maybe it wasn't that good.
