Now I feel a proper Boys club member!

[Boggystone]

Can hold my head up high as a proper UBC Member now.

Got myself my first C02 Anics skiff 3000a. I know, a lot of bad reviews but couldn't help myself.

Got a Webley tempest coming my way too hopefully at weekend so very happy.

Now before I go entering the snooker competition, I might just have to see if I can shoot the things rather than hold em.

You'll be needing a spare mag for the police pistol comp!

[Boggystone]

I do have a spare but good god. Reckon I'm gonna have to dedicate some time first to hitting the target really slowly before I take on the police pistol.

That always helps, Boggy. But I believe that you'll find PP a lot easier to get the hang of, and quickly, than you may think at this point.

Note I didn't say that it's easy to score well.

[MikeB]

Don't worry about being able to actually hit anything, just get entering the comps and learn as you go - there's plenty of wooden spoons to go around!

[Boggystone]

Ahh well. That's encouraged me to have a crack at everything then.

Been reading the PP rules and stuff. I actually can't wait to give it a go.

Tomorrow morning in fact I shall be having a fair crack to see what my pistol gets up to.

I'm seriously itching to get out there with it.

Is a holster necessary for the PP? I've seen a couple of really nice ones today and am tempted. But likewise if I can just hold it in a lowered stance before starting the count and firing, may as well do that.

But like I say, come morning I shall see just how bad I really am!

I find I have better success with the rapid fire Police Pistol Comp than the Postal comp. I guess fast target aquisition suits my shakey hand more than a slower deliberate style. I'm sure you'll improve time on time like the rest of us.
Try doing a grouping off a rest at 6 yards and I'm sure that will improve confidence in your gun. Suprisingly my PPK will print 1/2" groups so I know the shotgun patterns I manage are my fault not the guns!

1/2" groups?..

You've got to be standing next to it surely?

at 6yds mine won't come below 4" at best.
and no, I'm not that good a shot, but I ain't ###### either...

As much as it goes against the grain to pay Russ a compliment, he's actually not a bad shot, I was the marshall for the UBC competition he won in Coventry.

I take it yours isn't a Leupys Custom Shop special with a lothar Walther barrel and a trigger job then?
That is 1/2" off a REST, with Gamo rounds, shocked me too but there you go.
There is a big difference to the standard which is comparable to lobbing tennis balls down a drain pipe.
It's a different story when it's me shooting it free hand though

You and me both, Crab!

Me too! Me too!!

And I think I've actually got my new toy's sights aligned - after 100 pellets this morning.

I get the feeling your a happy little Bunny,

Unlike poor Brendan with his Skif.

Never had one Jam, but i'm sure it must be an easy enough fix.

i would only use flathead pellets this normally helps. (when it working again)

Yeah, poor Brendan, sorry about that matey - bummer
