    Hi Jim,
    I'm very interested
    Ive asked for and received the rules and targets.
    Just need to figure out how to get the mechanical stuff together to turn the targets

    How were you thinking of implementing it?

    I'm thinking turning targets = way too complicated for us! More like "count to three slowly as you raise pistol and fire: count to seven slowly as you lower pistol and pause between shots...:... repeat...": as your firing sequence.

    We'd also need to make it closer ranges: 10, 7, 5, or 7, 5, 3 yards as the distances involved.

    The harder we make it, the fewer will participate.

    Mates, I really believe we can do this! Anyone with a repeater air pistol, something to mount a target on a couple feet off the ground, and 10 yards of space, should be able to participate.

    I'm going for it! Tony's interested, and I know Jan will be also. Let's do it!

    Good to hear from you, Johnny! Yes, you need to put those pistols to use!

    I'm thinking of this competition as being simplicity itself: all we'd need is a repeating air pistol, 10 yards / meters of space at an absolute maximum (no reason we can't do it with 6), and some police-style targets, and we're ready to roll.

    I don't have / don't have access to a sophisticated turning target system and I don't see any need for it.

    So far we have four people interested. I'm going to make another announcement about it in a couple days.

    Cheers,
