Classic Carbon League - Anyone?

[silvershooter]

I do see your point , it is better to be safe than sorry ,especially as you are running a club.

(For anyone interested new C25/C55 cylinders are about 100 euro + shipping.)

Thanks - that is the point exactly - we have nothing at all against the C25 which is a very fine and accurate CO2 pistol.

Do you have enough members at your club to join in with either the Classic Carbon League or the MPL series?

It really is good fun between the two local clubs that are having a go at the moment. We try to get everyone involved - even the beginners, and then we take the average of all the scores as the Club result for the monthly match.

Naturally the averages are not so high - and it is a fun competition to get more people taking part with pistols they can afford to buy without thinking they have any dissadvantage as some do when competing against the more expensive PCP pistols in other competitions.

It is also well worth getting involved just for the banter that goes with it!

I'm the only person in our club who owns a CO2 pistol. I was thinking of joining in but I'm doing 3 postal leagues at the moment and sometimes have a job to shoot them by the specified date.

I know exactly what you mean.

We decided not to shoot in the Eley competition this year as we felt we had enough going-on in our club and did not want to overload ourselves.

Three competitions going on at the same time probably is enough for most club members to take on. We are fortunate with our choice as none of them are too demanding on our time so we can keep them as something to look forward to and not something that becomes a chore.

We still have plenty of time for some relaxed shooting most weeks, so right now I think we have the balance just about right - and still have time for some bell target shooting as well!

Let us know if things change and you get a sudden rush of interest in any of the Classic air pistols - even if most of your club share pistols to make up the team numbers - this is often what we do!
