    Still waiting on the new pellets to arrive, and even then until I've fired it won't know if it works. But I shall keep on being the optimist until then.

    If they do arrive, so tempted to use the loft, had a quick measure up today, and I have the 6yrds. Brick chimney breast as backing, plus other measures. reckon I might have a nice little range up there!

    I warn you, Boggy, this PP comp stuff IS addictive!

    Ok. I've found the ideal target material.....from Lidls. Lidls have their chilled meats delivered in a thin white corregated cardboard boxes. They then unpack the boxes and chuck them away. Umarexs at 10 metres leave nice clean holes. I found my local Lidls was pleased to give me as much of this stuff as I could carry. You could probably silk screen the target straight onto it. The boxes are quite big and provide several A3 sized bits of card.
    The ideal seems to be stiff but easy to penetrate. Sounds like a girl I used to know...

    Sounds like you found the right stuff there, Nap.

    With that and if you'd hung onto the girl, you'd be set up perfectly!

    Shoot today, shoot next weekend too!

    Remember that the last day to shoot our regular UBC bullseye comp and side matches for December, is tomorrow: and that the UBC's December police pistol comp starts next weekend!
