    I will need dispensation for the fact it is a single shot so I won't be meeting the timelines or double tapping?

    cheers

    Hi there,
    Sadly I think that'll be a no chance buddy, However as you do shoot an air pistol, why not join the UBC and enter our pistol comp every month?
    2nd season starts this month

    No, Shoves, this is the UBC's (Umarex Boys Club: but we let girls join, too! own shoot. And you and your Desert Eagle are most welcome to compete!

    Any repeating air pistol, whether CO2 or PCP (or even other types, if they exist), is eligible. It just has to hold 6 rounds: no other restrictions on the gun.

    EVENTUALLY I'd like to have "categories" for CO2 and PCP, open sight and optical sight, maybe revolver and auto pistol. But right now, we don't have sufficient entrants to start breaking things into categories.

    Jim and Jan shot today!

    And I won't tell you their scores, yet!

    But I CAN tell you that a certain, well, ghost or apparition or poltegeist or some such, IS doing very well, very well indeed ...

    Hi 38thfoot
    Like the others say, PPC is a contest for repeating pistols.
    However you can still get the targets for personal use.
    Try http://www.targetbunny.btik.com/p_Self_Defence.ikml
    Also the main site has multi-part targets (torso) and Pistol targets FREE

    Have fun

    Six scores so far!

    And it's still not too late, because you have till midnight on Sunday.

    Unfortunately, I have to leave town for a business trip on Monday morning, so please bear with me, it'll probably be Wednesday before I can post the scores.

    Still time to compete!

    Another whole weekend in which to compete, mates, but remember, this months's round ends at midnight (yours or mine, whichever comes later as Sunday becomes Monday, so please get out there and have a go this weekend!

    It's a load of fun! We've had six scores submitted so far: 5 shooters, one used two different pistols which is perfectly OK and indeed encoiuraged.

    Targets available right in this Thread (Message # 24), rules are in Messages # 38 and # 39. Very simple shoot, all you need is a repeating air pistol that holds 6 rounds: the targets that you can print-out from # 24, and 6 yards of space.

    Come on, have a nice Combat shoot in your own home or backyard!

    I shot my second gun today, having sorted out a suitable target paper.
    I photocopied water colour paper and PVA'd it to cereal box card (all bran).
    My Zastava seemed to be very at 'home'
