    ... 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!

    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 !

    I found last night, after much cajoling, bullying, shaming and outright bribery, that Rivi can muster 7 pistoleers; HOWEVER, one of these is TC2 whose loyalty has to be dependent on the wind direction and early indications of average scores; another has, as yet, no pistol and is hoping that the largesse of her husband will stretch to provide something of better quality than a "GAT " and a brave (foolhardy??) soul who intends to compete with a smooth bore Webley Junior for which we are struggling to find a pellet which provides any degree of consistency.

    I believe we should score his cards +5 for anything which lands inside the 4 ring.

    And you want TC3 to defect to shoot for RMTC???? By the way, TC1 has been informed that his cards must be shot at Rossendale; this will be reinforced by an inability to find anyone at Rivi to sign as witness

    Hope your weekend in the camper van passes uneventfully

    It just confirms what Ive always said about Webley pistols - great fishing weights!

    The biggest problem at Rivvi is finding some one who can write!
    The good news (For R.M.T.C. is that Chris, Amandas husband, wont let her use the FWB103 pistol in the compt as it doesn't suit her. I suggested they search for a nice Webley smooth bore pistol. What? Alls fair in love and pistol shooting.

    I'm working on teaching them to write X but that might lead to wholesale forgeries of your signature


    BTW Bob, we have lost a potential team member because you poached an Original 6 from under his nose and TC1 won't sell him the FWB 65 he hasn't got the strength to cock - major sulk mode and he's disappeared to Turkey for two weeks.

    Its easy to confuse and flumux the Rivvi lads. Just offer them two shovels and say "Take your pick?"
    You could be there for hours.
