Glad to see that you're working on your Fast Draw, Tony!

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

Jim

I know Jim, Im just trying to push myself a little. I amm hoping to hear something soon about IPAS in this area and that requires fast draw, fast shoot and accuracy This comp will be good training for me

Hi Jim,
PPK scores on way to you.
Zastava scores hard to read, I do need to short out target paper, by the end of stage one a whole part of the 8/9 area had been torn up and shots were not able to be registered.
The PPK was much more fun though
Loving it.

Decided to shoot mine tomorrow

I have just come back in and my right fore-arm is killing me
Takes me about 15 seconds to fire 6 shots, open and reload then fire 6 more while keeping the sight picture.
Guess what? I aint fired a single pellet yet Just wanted to see what my times are like.
I am going to out to try it with the .357-6 in a few mins, that will slow me down huh? Take me forever opening and reloading that beast.

how's the hand mate? Been thinking of getting a holster for the PPK, what do you think of the one you've got?

Its much better thank you, no sign of infection and I can move it fully again, typing much better again

The PPK is quite a small frame if I remember correctly?
(Long time since I almoast deafend myself with an accidental discharge in the out house with one of those wife made me get rid as she was almost deafend as well!)

I like the Viper Real FireArm holster it suits my mid to large frame pistols.
Not sure it would suit the PPK though, having said that, its fully adjustable for size and barrel length. I also have a cordura holster that seems to suit the smaller pistols. But on the other hand the Cordura one is a bit on the "Flimsy" side

I just came back after trying my hand with the .357-6 and my timing is down to 23 seconds

Gonna be interesting to see my practice scores in the morning

TTFN

GOT 'em, Crabbet! And you're the first to report in.

Yes, sometimes those targets can be hard to read: pellets just not cutting cleanly. A stiff backing (like cardboard) helps, as does having the target fit its backing "tight".

Jim,
I have had so much fun today shooting the Police Pistol Comp

I Could do this all day long except cash is tight and need to save my Co2 and pellets

Thank you for setting it all up and running it, Its amazing fun.

Sent you my scores via email.

Take care

IS this the one that was in the Airgun mag a while back? I fancied giving it a go, but the smaller pistols feel, well, too small for me.

If only I could use my Desert Eagle.....

No it wasnt the one featured in the mag (although that was cool if I remember)

Oohhhhhhhhhhhh....think I'll have to give that one a bash!

And thanks, but the Deagle gets used a lot!

[Ranyhyn]

Give it a go Shoves, its a good 'un!
Just a shame we do it 'postal' and not together at a range!
Its a buzz

First post here,

can I enter with my 54 year old smoothbore webley junior?
I will need dispensation for the fact it is a single shot so I won't be meeting the timelines or double tapping?

cheers

I'm afraid that we couldn't waive hte time limits, 38, , since the competition is designed to simulate police-type shooting: therefore, speed of firing (reloading, too) and fast follow-up shots are essential.

Sounds like your pistol is well-suited to the springer category (and side shoots) of the regular UBC shoot, though.
