    Results for Jan 10 Vintage & Open Class Rifle Competition

    Hi all

    The results are in.

    >>RESULTS<<

    Challanging set of targets this time round. With my airguns & another competitor, we had to aim off for me sometimes way off to hit each indivdual target


    Still high scores this round. Again We will be doing a completely different target for the next round & we will update the webpage very soon, to give you ample time to print out the target


    So Weldone to all those who took part.

    Regards
    Paddy.
    BE-HAPPY-OK

    Ah, don't forget that Paddy was going to use the best five out of six rounds to sort the overall winner.

    I think the same thing is going to happen in the 10mtr & 6yd comps as well.

    I might have to concede though as I'm not far off doing a deal on a Steyr FT rifle and will need to sell some stuff including the Crosman 66. I must get the old Diana 15 re-sprung and washered.

    We can see how well a smoothbore gun can do though. How many target competitions are there where a Daisy Red Ryder is second to a FWB 300s, arguably the finest spring powered rifle ever made?

    Those old Daisys are well-nigh magical! They can be used on grizzlies, or to run off Black Bart and his gang...

    With only 7 points in it from top to bottom, kind of shows you where the skill is, eh Paddy?

    Rumour has it you can take out a wild turkey, a squirrel and a wood pigeon, all with one shot, these Red Ryders certainly are a legendary gun.

    Once again a fantastic competition, this is definitely one of my favourites. The cheapie rifle category was a brilliant idea and fair play to Paddy who took it on and added it, like he hadn't already got enough to do. Oh and by the way Paddy, the XS78 is CO2, not spring (but still cheap ).

    Massive thanks to Paddy for the competition and Jim for the targets.

    And I need to do something about that Frontbrake fella, I mean, he came to our last meet, tried out most of my pistols, liked the 6M and bought his own, AND NOW HE'S BEATING ME WITH IT, there's no justice
    Seriously, well done Alan, you are certainly giving us a run for our money, now let's see you knock that Adam bloke off the top spot.

    Jef , I think it's beginners luck. Just wait until the next one and you'll probably see my true form.
    Cheers . Alan
