    Pauls WEBLEY PREMIER has also had the advantage of being nicely run-in as it has been around since the 1970's, whereas Ian's Steyr LP10 is almost brand new, so he had very little chance of competing in this David v Goliath competition - but still managed to achieve this crushing victory.

    Well done Ian - great result
    Thank you. It was a crushing blow to 'Hippo' and one in the eye for Wobbly pistol owners. (Actually I used a FWB65 as my Steyr isn't eligible for this compt but then you would have thought the originator of the rules would have known that! )

    I just wonder what the result would have been like if Paul (Hippo) had kept at least one eye open while shooting.

    The next round of the MPL starts from Sunday the 25th!

    It's a far better story if I claim you are using a Steyr - but the main thrust of the story remain that you got your ass kicked by a WEBLEY

    ........and that's all any of us are interested in!

    Paul 'Hippo' Wray - shooting a Wobbly = 177

    Moi - shooting a nice German FWB65 = 178

    A whopping by anyone's standards.

    Ian may I be the first to congratulate you on a crushing victory.
    My therapist has booked a round the world cruise on the back of this humiliating loss :-)
    As you know I also had the option of using an inferior German recoiless sludge system pistol. But unlike you, being a win at any cost guy, I used the best of British and was still thrashed.
    I can only apologise to the legions of Wobbly match pistol owners out there.
    I am now seeking one to one tuition in order to redeem myself in round 2.
    Your humbled servant sir.

    See! Now thats what I call respect ....... or is it sarcasm?

    I love the moniker - 'Wobbly Hippo'. Reminds me of my mother-in-law. May she rest in peace (soon).

    I guess that depends on whether or not you passed-on any of your "effluent" communication skills to your Rivvy friends

    I think it sound's like a genuine congratulation from a true competitor and displays the highest level of sportsmanship
