    And runs thru Saturday, 29 August (though it might be extended through Sunday the 30th.

    Hi Jim, going to do mine using Walther LP53.

    I've picked up and serviced a real nice Original 5 made in 1966.

    Are we allowed two entries?

    Just being greedy again, me, me, me,

    Good luck, Phil

    Sure thing, Phil, you can enter with as many rifles or pistols as you like, provided they all qualify as to being "vintage".

    Just have a look at the >>Vintage Results Page<< , then have a look at the rifle section . Does that answer your question

    I'm loving that Vintage target - much more visible and somehow easier to shoot than the standard black bullseye.

    Thanks Jim!

    Never got round to replacing the spring on my Diana 15 and now we're in Filey for the week.
    Something occurred though. Is the Original mod 6 pistol old enough? Not the 6M, the old 6 with the hooded foresight and plastic wraparound grips. I have one of those. Trouble is it shoots v high. Missing shim on breech seal I think, making barrel point up a bit.

    I have just shot & submitted mine this afternoon, in the glorious sunshine .

    I had done so well using this old Webley Junior in the 10m comp (due to my modern pistol being broke ) that I thought I would keep going before my luck changes.

    I am glad that I did, I will just say that I am very pleased with my score .

    Cheers, Mark

    Six people submitted scores, Thanks & weldone so far

    I managed to find time today to submit 5 . Quite pleased with my results. I'm having to aim off to get the scores, which is interesting to say the least!

    I should spend time in zero'ing in properly, but I've got too many to do

    Hopefully tomorrow & Thursday, I'll do the rest which is about another 5

    Regards
    Paddy.
