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?

I'm doing great, Phil! Chuffed about the competition and hope you are also!Hi Jim, how yer doing?
Can I put my name down for the comp?
Starting first round 11 Oct ?
Do you want cards witnessed?
atb Phil
Yes, I'd be proud to have you as one of the competitors. It's strictly honor system: no witnesses needed, no target scanning, just tell me your score and the gun you used, via PM to capnwilliam@yahoo.com . I'll then post the scores to the list, after the competition closes.
October 11 is when it all starts!
Cheers,
Jim

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,
Target Bunny

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!

Well,I'm so glad we get a week at this
I decided to put my Viper Holster on my Utility belt and get some Draw technique practise in
I'm still a bit on the large side so needed to adjust the buckle to get a decent fit of the belt (aint paying the silly prices for the extension to the belt). It needed putting into the grab section of the belt
Being thick nylon, I needed to put a lil ole pressure on it with a tool. My tool of choice for this task would normally be a flat bladed scredriver
I didnt have one to hand so grabbed a Phillips that was nearby
Ouchthing went through the nylon belt and embeded itself inside the knuckle joint of my trigger finger on my left hand
Luckily I am right handed, but as I pulled the implement out whilst gritting my teeth, I felt the tendon twang back into place and all of a sudden I felt quite I'll.
For such a small hole the pain was unbearable. I've cleaned the wound and my tetnus is up to date etc, but i find typing one handed very awkward

But, you don't need it for THIS comp: fast shooting, yes: fast draw, no, since "time" starts with the pistol in your hand.

I haven't had the chance to get out and shoot it yet myself, Crabbet: been "out", yes, but working in the yard.
I also am going to do a practice run first: I generally just shoot 5-10 rounds for a warm-up, but this competition is SO different, I want to do a complete practice run.

Know what you mean. It was meant to be raining here today so I'd intended to loose a few off; however they got it totally wrong as usual and it was a cracking day. Took my horse out for a stroll instead. Tomorrow is set fine so will ride out early and give the day a chance to warm up before I shoot.

How nice it must be to have a horse! Do you live in the country?
