    Just read the write ups. From Delta1, Target Bunny & MikeB.

    Most excellent reading & sums up the day & opinions perfectly.

    You really should read it to realise what you missed if you wasn't there. But don't fret there WILL be another one! We will give you plenty of notice so you can cancel everything else

    Regards
    Paddy.

    I have wooden grips on my Beretta and CP88's, no problems here and they look great.

    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    Airsoft for UBC?

    Dear UBC,
    I am back in Thailand for a while, and was wondering if Airsoft pistols are allowed in the UBC (I am particularly interested in Jim's Police Pistol Competitions)? Air pistols require a licence "over here", so I became interested in Airsoft about three years ago. I have a Marui 1911A1 and a Glock 17(3G) which would be suitable, although I will need to get a spare mag for each.

    I downloaded Jim's target this morning, and scored 103 with 12 rounds measuring from centre of BB strike (my target printed slightly smaller than A4).

    Not to worry it they are not - just a thought .
    All the best,

    I think Paul55 has been competing with himself in Airsoft, some stiffer competition might be welcome

    Paul's been competing with Airsoft, and with that very pistol.

    We've just started the final Round of the current Season. so please have a go: it'll be a great warm-up for the next Season, which starts in November.

    I could tell this Thread hasn't seen much action of late: Phantom Sniper appears heavily on the most current page, and he's seldom on here any more.

    Cheers, Nick and Jim.
    I will be making a suitable A4 target holder tomorrow after I have had another look through the rules (on the new website). I've also found a spare magazine which will fit my 1911A1.

    I assume that if a shot touches a scoring ring, then you get the higher value? As wadcutters are obvioulsy out of the question with airsoft, what I propose to do is place a BB over the entry hole to see if it touches a scoring line.

    All the best.
