    looks like you've got your work cut out for the next few months Jim
    I'm not sure that using a single rapid fire target would be all that interesting. As I recall, the event requires you to fire 1 shot on each of 5 separate targets, in ever-shortening time intervals.

    Anyone ever shot it, by the way?

    It was never a popular event in the US. Here, NRA Bullseye was very popular, until practical / action events displaced them. The International events, such as rapid fire or free pistol, were never popular.

    Right you lot
    Paddy and Jim McArthur are currently vetting the rules for this one. If THEY agree then it will be put into store on the site for them to release as they see fit.

    Now burger off and let me start the "Western" version of this incorporating Paul's ideas.
    Any more bright ideas please PM them so I can keep them on file.

    Regards

    PS there will be "sighting markers" on this one.

    had a go today and was able to keep it within a 2inch circle single handed.

    using 5 of the 4inch targets supplied by jsr in a row and i kept it in the black.

    was just using up the end of a co2 bulb so didn't have enough gas to try 2 handed but it would solve the problem of pulling off target so its doable with reasonable results
