Right, I'm up to have a go at this.
All I need is a clever sod to list all the qualifying pistols...(come on, you know you want to.....
)
(don't suppose any of mine count))

Congratulations on your new toy, Jim!
Targets? Yeah, targets....OK, let me think about that. Then I may be getting back to you.
CANNON?! Good Lord, you're right about me not being there: airguns are bad enough on the budget, but the big stuff?...

Hi Guys
OK Paddy (Multicoloured Lord of the Scoreboard) Says the 130 will classify as a SSP for wimpssince it takes 6 pumps instead of one so now we are official if I get the range problem (I don't have one but I can borrow next doors yard if I grovel) to join the main shoot as well. The Nemesis is great but I still need a rear blade.
You DID include pump ups in your original post so I never had any doubts about the 130 qualifying for this contest and since Daisy have confirmed the date of the end run of Model 94 "Red Rider's" as the mid sixties I now have two vetran/vintage collectibles and am negotiating a third whilst still trying to afford the Titan.
Regards

Target.
Right Folks
Cap'n William has decided on a version of the old Red, White and Blue "Webley" target from the 50s and 60s. I will have a version of it available in UBC livery on here by the start of next week.
RULES
This will be a 10 (ten) shot contest.
The target will print as a double target with markings to fit it to a 170mm (Standard) single target holder. Users with Vintage 4 inch holders contact me for targets sized to fit.
You may shoot this as either two separate targets with 5 (five) shots in each fitted to a 170mm target holder, or, shoot as a double target, again five shots in each.
In either case back the target closely with a piece cut from a cereal packet to provide a clean shot hole for scoring. Put the shiny side to the back of the target.
The outer RED ring scores five (5) Points and increases by one till you get ten (10) points for a Bull. The INNER white ring surrounded by a black divider only comes into play in a "live" contest to help decide the winner in the case of a tie.
As far as I am aware this target is scored INWARDS. That is to say cut a dividing line and you get the highest score.
If Cap'n William wishes to alter these rules he WILL do so.
If this works the first Target is available HERE

- what do you all think about leveling the playing field between the BB Gunners, and the Pelleteers, by having separate scoring sections for rifled and smooth pistols, and rifled and smooth rifles?
I warn you that I have an ulterior motive for posing this question: I just picked up today, at a local gun show, a Model 1938 Daisy Red Ryder (Production years, 1972-78): and a Healthways Plainsman Model ML 175 (Production years, 1969-1980).
Got both of 'em for $50.
They look to be fun plinkers, but being BB guns, they're not going to be competitive against rifled pellets.

Whaddya mean innacurate?
I used to shoot flies on the ceiling of my room with the Daisy.
Mum made me fill and repaint the ceiling after that little episode, but I did get my BBs back from the plaster.

I've just had a quick go with my 1970's SA Parabellum. Shot two of the 10m targets @ 10metres & without any practice shots, just load & shoot. I'm quite pleased with my with my scores 34 & 34.
I enjoyed this quick shoot, no stress & felt rather comfortable. Just have to wait for August. I know our schedule is rather busy within the UBC comps each week. I might ponder on making it more often & fit it in within one of the weeks.

Frequency
Hi Paddy
If you are scoring/invigilating remember there are 4 Saturdays in each month to be used. Also if you get this monthly one month Pistol, one month Rifle. Although, since some of these guns are smoothbore, it should be long gun.
Jim McA, even though you get a big bang out of it, this does NOT include cannon.

I've sorted out a score sheet, will go though this thread to get the rules sorted. Jim D I'll await the targets, I do think your idea of the old style webley is a good one.
As for dates I'm thinking of doing the usual 6rd style on the same weeks as the PP Comps as Jim Mc collects then scores for the PP Comps. So I don't have double work load.
And for criteria, I want to keep it simple of two categories of Pistol & Rifle .
Once I get everything together I'll make a new thread.
Regards
Paddy.

We also want to have as many pistols and "long guns" as we can, since we're trying to encourage everyone to give all their old airguns a try: so a given shooter can enter as many rifles and pistols as he or she wishes.
