    Hi Bartmick,

    I am afraid that your Red Dot sight is not allowed in 10 mtr pistol competitions. The relevant extract from the NSRA Rules is as follows:

    9.2.4 Sights. All front and rear sights must be strictly open; the notch must not be narrower at the top than at any other part. Aperture or peep sights or any covered, shaded or telescope sights are not permitted. Both front and rear sights may be adjustable laterally and/or vertically and may be coloured and/or include light reflecting substances.

    9.2.5 Orthoptics. The use of a fixed hole or iris aperture, worn by the
    shooter but not attached to the pistol, is permitted.
    As to whether the Brocock Aimx .177 complies with the rules, I do not know as I am not familiar with that type of pistol. However the NSRA Rules say the following:

    9.2.1.3 any air pistol complying with Rule 9.2.3

    and 9.2.3 state

    9.2.3 Air pistols used in competitions under ISSF rules may be any type of compressed air or CO2 pistol calibre 4.5
    mm (.177 in) which conforms with current ISSF regulations.
    A short summary of the ISSF Rules:

    Weight 1500g max
    Trigger weight 500g min
    Pistol must fit in a box 420mm x 200mm x 50mm
    There are other regulations relating to grips and porting.

    I hope that this helps.

    Mick, you need to check out the UBC internet / postal shoots we have from right here on the Forum. Go to the Air Pistol subforum, under the General Airguns Forum.

    And, red dot sights ARE permitted!

    Cheers,

    But you can shoot two-handed in SOME of the UBC events.
