The Official Target Stamp has now been ordered, and should be with us by Wednesday/Thursday.

Please let me know if you would like your name added to this list

The two in red are me, so you might want to remove one of them .

[zooma]

OK - one of you is enough!

[mrfixit]

Also remove trouser skip Steve from the list please.I would have liked to shoot it at home to use as practice but I'm not paying £10 for the privilege.And no I'm not tight(IJ)before you pipe in

[Fat stig]

£10 does sound a bit on the high side, but I'll still give it a go if the targets fit in the same target holder/pellet catcher as the normal ones. It's an excuse for shooting at home I can use on the wife

Moi?

Its just your the only bloke I know who has drilled a hole in the fridge door to make sure the light goes out!

[jimmytwobikes]

I would like to have a go at this please. I have a webley ssp.

[Ian]

Looking forward to this

[Fat stig]

3 pints or nearly 2 tins of pellets or one of each

No Problem Steve - there never has been a fee for practicing at home - and I am sure nobody has ever considered you to be "tight"

Ten pounds is a lot of money when you have lost your pants, but with no range fees or traveling costs involved it can even appeal to those that are strapped for cash.

This will be a good national competition (like NARPA) with entrants from all over the UK that will find the best 6 yard air pistol shooter in the UK -as well as giving the rest of us "not so goods" an interesting competition that does not have to take up any club time - but it will produce a British Champion at the end of the series and will provide good value for money (wait and see).

Thanks Jimmy - I have added your name to the list.

Soon we will be inviting all those that would like to enter to let us have their post address so we can post out the entry packs to them - you can let me have this by PM any time it suites you.

Good luck, and thanks for your support by entering this new postal competition.

Hi John,

The Air 8 targets are the standard air pistol size and certainly fit in all of the target holders we have tested so far.

Your entry is not bad value for money as it gives you the chance to become the first 6 yard British Champion for many years!.......and of course you can practice at home free of charge as often as you like with no range fees, traveling costs or memberships etc to pay.

This is an "open" competition and so anyone that thinks they are good enough to be the best 6 yard shot in the UK has the chance to prove it against anybody that wants to compete for the title.

Most of us just look forward to the fun element and the chance to shoot our MPL pistols over the National 6 yard distance on the official Air 8 targets and so winning is not especially important - but for those of you that are "at the top of the tree" here is a rare opportunity to display your talents and to see if you can become a National Champion !

Lets see if anybody can hit a "possible" in the live finals under competition conditions at the end of the season - still a challenge at 6 yards on an Air 8 target that is unlikely to be achieved.

[I. J.]

Target holder, measured distance and back stop sorted. Im looking forward to this national competition.
