Did you know that when you cut a worm in two one end will wriggle.
But not if you cut it length ways.

No doubt you have spent a lot of time practicing your culinary skills on worms during your enforced time as a frog - so you will know these things...witch leads me to think about the MPL.
A Model 80 is going with me to the range tonight - its about time I decided which pistol to use in the MPL as August is getting closer - and that's when we start shooting - but the problem is I have a few nice classics to choose from and I would like to exercise them all.
The Model 65 and 80 are the "natural" choices for me as we go back to the 70's together - but then again so does the Model 10 and Model 6 - but I also like to shoot the FAS 604 and the FWB103.
The other thing is I am very tempted to go for the simple sping powered "kicker" and see how I get on with scoring UP and with the +1 pont bonus per card. I think it will be a close choice as the rules have been devised to make it this way. This brings the GAMO Centre/Target right back into play ( and others like the HW70 and Model 5) ...and even a well sorted Webley Premier could spring a few surprises! **
Decisions......decisions......

... Clip ... Clop ... Clip... Clop.....
The Webley would make it easier to score. 1 + 2 + 1 + 0 + 0 and thats a good card.
Whats to stop you shooting every round with a different pistol? You could start off with a one of your FWB80s - (lets face it, you could shoot the whole 20 shot course and not have to re-load ) and then use a model 5 or HW70. As long as each card is marked with what pistol you used to aid scoring.
You could even use your Original mod 12G for one round. Now, Ive never heard of a Mod 12G but you have probably got one, the only one in captivity, and I bet its in its original box!
.....Clip .... Clop .... Clip .... Clop .... DINK!

I forgot about the Model 12G - that's another one to try.
Are you still the Public Relations Officer for the Webley Air Pistol Appreciation Club?

I acquired a .177 Webley Tempest today and took it to the club tonight.
I shot a 45 at 10 meters with my first card........ but it was with my Model 80!
I did hit the card with the Tempest ( a few times) - but it needs a lot of work on the trigger to make it better and good enough to even consider using it in the MPL.
John Gould also shot the Tempest - but not for long and complained that it hurt his had too!
After 50 or so shots with the Tempest I was too knackered to shoot it again and my hand hurt!..and I never scored anything worth mentioning with the Model 80 after that either!
I guess this makes the Webley a great "leveller" - put 50 shots through it and you won't be able to shoot anything else afterwards very well either!
Anyway, I am off in the camper van for a couple of days tomorrow, so keep things ticking-over until I get back and try to find a TC3 (no tutu required - we already have TC2 angel Frankie).
I will be giving points for originality, wit, humour etc but a bonus for recruiting a TC3 !
