    Your Nemesis would also be competitive in the 6yd and 10m SSP competitions.
    Stick around, I'm sure you'll find that the pistol section is by far the most interesting, closely followed by the collectors section, when they're awake, they do need their long afternoon naps bless them.
    Yeah right.
    I'm going for a wander around the site now - I am sure that I'll return here though.

    Sorry guys, I've got this a bit late first of all, welcome to the forum Paul. You've found your way to the best bit.

    Now Nick, which buns are you referring to? I find that Choux buns are the most scary, but a Belgium one sends me scuttling behind the sofa. It must have been something from my childhood.

    I feel at home already.
    The banter feels familiar - I guess most good sites have a lot in common when off topic?

    The banter here never stops, and it's almost impossible to get this lot to stay on topic. And if you can make it to one of the UBC meets in coventry, it gets even worse hands on and face to face, we have even been known to shoot a pistol or two.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.

    Welcome to the Forum! You won't find a sharper or more helpful bunch of airgun shooters anywhere, and you can't beat the UBC's comps: plinking and vintage rifle, police pistol, 6 yards, 10 meters, categories for formal target pistols, CO2, SSP, springer...you name it! No dues, no entry fees except for one comp, no having to travel anywhere to shoot.

    Travel

    Hi PaulR
    Do NOT listen to that Jim McArthur about not having to travel.
    He attends the comps by flying in from New Orleans.

    Hopefully since you are a bit closer and we'll see you in May if you stick with us.
    Have a chat with Cerebral Chasm. I think she is closest to you.
