    I've got some great news, well it's great for me. Brenda, my missus, has agreed to shoot at the October meet in the Jan McArthur comp. She'll be using an airsoft TM Coly Python 4". Because airsoft is non lethal, therefore inherrently far safer, she has decided to give it a try. We have been out in the garden practicing in the garage range. I filled the Colt with gas and its max 24 BB's thinking that would be plenty. As it turned out I had to reload once more Considering she has never shot a pistol or rifle of any sort I'm really impressed with her shooting. She was shooting at one of our old UBC targets on A4 paper held vertically. Out of 48 shots I think she only had about 5 or 6 complete misses, ie she missed the paper completely.

    Of course I'm biased, but I'm well chuffed for her

    And well you should be, Paul!

    Another new shooter, another new woman shooter, another new safe shooter, and another shooter for the Jan McArthur Memorial Trophy!

    You're happy, so am I, and so is Jan!
