    2022 Summer- Autumn MPL Competition Rules.

    2022 June - December MPL Competition Rules.

    Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am a little late getting the next seasons MPL competition underway, but the number of rounds will stay the same.

    Most of us shoot our competition targets whenever we find it convenient (or choose to do so), but please continue to mark them up "per month" as always starting with your first 6 targets being dated "June 2023"

    Many thanks for your understanding at this difficult time.


    The Muscle Power League Rules have not changed much ever since we started - but we do have a small number of additions, and repeating these rules at the start of each new MPL season is something we have always been asked to do - so here they are again!

    There will be no major changes to the previous rules BUT we no longer supply the targets and we have REDUCED the entry fee from £10 to £5 as most previous entrants already had targets or preferred to buy their own.

    We will continue to run a competition for .177 MPL air pistol and another for .177 MPL air rifle. MPL airguns are those that need "Muscle Power" (ie effort) to cock them and include spring powered and single stroke pneumatic airguns.

    We are also adding some competitions for .177 PCP powered airguns. CO2 powered airguns can also be entered in the PCP competitions as both use compressed gas and shoot in a similar manner.


    ALL 2022 MPL Competitions are to be shot with OPEN SIGHTS or DIOPTER SIGHTS (on rifles) ONLY

    2022 MPL POSTAL COMPETITION DETAILS and RULES

    The 6 yard MPL Air Pistol Competition is for .177 spring powered air pistols and is to be shot STANDING and SINGLE HANDED.

The targets can be shot at any time during the month, but it is the shooters responsibility to ensure the scores are emailed to the scorer ( TO BE ADVISED) before the end of each competition month - or as soon as possible if you are running late or if you enter the competition after it has already started.

    5/. Anyone who scores a perfect 50 ex 50 needs to take a picture of the card and send it to mplscores@yahoo.com and zooma@kingcobra.co.uk .....so you can show it off .....and we can see how it should be done!

    Bob,

    I've paid £10 this afternoon by direct bank transfer for entry for the :

    6yds MPL pistol comp, so I can use my Feinwerkbau 65 and 10m Open pistol with my Steyr LP10.

    I will start to organise the scores pages soon, and I will make sure they are up and running by the end of July.

    I'll take the entry names from the list that you put up on this post

    Good shooting everyone
