Hi Charles
I shall be skiing thus allowing Splund an early head-start!
However regarding pistols just follow Ford and make it difficult. I think I hit a 30yd bell standing but Sir Richard still beat me.
Open sight pistols can be .177 or .22 of any make, vintage, spring, pump-up, PCP, CO2 or whatever. The best man/woman/luckiest person wins.
Good luck.

That is exactly how we have it planned - any pistol so long as it has open sights..

Let me see then, so you aren't happy with shooting them silly old rifles with open sights and bluing from the 50's...you now wanna shoot 30yd targets without 'andles on 'em....(not the targets..the rifles you understand....)

Goddamnit sir! X

And now for something completely different

[Charles44]

Weather looking good - cool, dry (may even get a guest appearance from the big yellow thing), and the wind should not be too bad either!

I can always ask someone to throw mud and water at you as you shoot.
