    Hi Mike.

    Paul (Paul55) got this score in the last round of the UBC Police Pistol

    In 4th place was Paul55 with a score of 100 + 104 + 55 = 259 using his 6mm Airsoft Tokyo Marui Colt 1911A1 Government
    he beat me, however that isn't hard to do

    Regards
    Paddy.

    I forgot to add that, on the next round of the 6yd I'm doing a new 6mm airsoft category aswell.

    That should keep Paul happy

    I did have a go but the paper I print my targets on isn't suitable. I use a cardboard backing for pellets and get neat round holes. If I use cardboard with the airsoft the BBs just bounce back without making a hole. Trouble is, if used without cardboard the paper tears unpredictably. I got two sevens, I know 'cos I got two separate holes. The other ten shots all hit between the lower half of the ten ring and the bottom of the eight leaving one large hole and a big flap of paper. You can see a definite ten, a couple of nines and at least one eight, but I can't be sure where the other six went. I expect they all went through the lower half of the ten ring but I can't be sure so I didn't shoot the rest and didn't enter my score.

    I now need to look out some cheaper paper that tends to fall apart rather than tear.

    We're also adding an airsoft category to Police Pistol for next Season.

    Along with pocket pistol and sniper rifle.

    That should keep EVERYONE happy!

    tried taping the paper up so it can't tear?

    I've been doing some testing with airsoft an will need adjustable sights on my KJ Works Beretta for targets. I've had to stuff the boxes I'm using with newspaper though, as the .2g balls will go straight through and break on the wall if I don't,

    It'd be nice to have you on the score sheets, that's if you've got the time to.

    Paddy,
    That could prove dificult, in testing, once I found that the sights didn't align and would need machining off & replacing, I stuffed some extra boxes, made stands and did some CBAPS (Cardboard Box and Paper Shooting ) to practice my draw and target aquisition for RIPS (Redhill Iron Plate Shooting).
    I hope to be much improved for the UBCAPS (Umarex Boys Club Action Plate Shoot)
