Gross mis-conduct
Hi Jim.
Could you please confirm the target? Or is it already on the ubc site?
I'm also having paper/card issues........could any one recommend the right grade/type that holes well. I had a load of card place mats that punched perfectly that I photocopied on the back of. However I've used them all up and nothing else seems to be as clean, it tears.
Anybody?

Target is shown on message # 24 in this Thread, Crabbet, and the rules are in messages # 38 (appropriate number, what?and 39.
I just print out my targets on looseleaf - not a very good target material - but I like to use staff cardboard as a backing, if I can find any. I like to save cardbord boxes and cut them down to size.

Hi Crabbet
Have a look at the right hand column of the homepage of http://www.targetbunny.btik.com. Not as comprehensive as I would have likedbut the best I have at present.
Best stuff I found was the A3 size desk pads/blotters given away by reps to offices. Just make certain that it's the blotter type since the paper consistency is more porous and punches better. However these are hard to come by in sufficient quantity to be a serious contender, but, if you find any, grab them.
Another answer is to back the sheet with an old cereal box or the plastic version of corrugated cardboard. There will be plenty of the latter around where the estate agents are closing up.
Always ensure that the target is held firmly and that you are shooting at it as near to 90 degrees to the paper as possible.
Last, and this is the one you will probably like least, change to a flat headed wadcutter pellet or a hollow point with a front lip like the Bisley field.
Sorry for the lecture,

Hi TB
Ahead of the game....... I'll be picking up some Geco Hobby flat heads, the quality is good in the consistency of skirt size and they are short enough to get 6 in the Zastava mag!
Thanks for the blotting paper advice. I'll have a look out and give it a go.

And continues through next weekend! Full details in Postings # 38 and 39 in this Thread: target available in Posting # 24.
Everyone welcome! All you need to compete is a repeating air pistol, 6 yards of space, a target and anything to hang it on.
Good luck to all, and may the best (UBC) boy win!
