    HMMM....as the rule is written, Jim, that could be a problem.

    Since some had complained of the difficulty of verifying the age of a particular air gun, we decided to go with an "out of production in or before 1986" rule - for the model, not the particular gun in question.

    So, if you hold in your hand a particular gun that was made in, say, 1940, but the MODEL is still in production, or didn't go out of production until 1987, or later: that particular gun WOULDN'T qualify.

    I do have an Airgun Blue Book which gives production-run years for different models and I'll check this (and any other one in question) out.

    Are the pistols all in one class, or are there seperate classes for spring, ssp, pcp, etc?
    I'm not trying to make more work for you, honest!

    They'll all be scored in one class, Garry.

    Remember that the Vintage comp starts on 29 August. This is going to be a pure-fun, occasional (only in the months where there IS a 5th Saturday) competition: no leader board. It will be for rifles and pistols (separate scoring categories).

    IF there's sufficient interest I might add pistol crossbows, too.

    Hi Jim, could you put me down for the pistol shoot. Using a Walther LP53. I'm sure the was only made up to the early 70's.


    Good luck, Phil

    Question Pump Up

    Hi Jim
    Serious question. I keep going back to that seriese of pictures on Kranks website. Apart from the desire to own a historic pistol I have spotted this: http://www.henrykrank.com/vap112.html and I want to know what class it falls into. OK for this contest it doesn't matter. But what about the main comp?

    Regards
