LOL!! o yes they made all the difference andys making up a set for the hw45 ;being tuned for the 2015 season .

The next 6 yard postal series starts this July and runs through until December.

Every 6 yard MPL competition last for 6 months...why wait until 2015 to unleash your tuned HW45 ?

You may have an even better chance of beating them up with one of your other Webley's (of the SSP type) ......

I have noticed how much shooter's hate being beaten by anything with a Webley name on it - almost like it is the final insult and certainly something that usually annoys at the very least.

The HW45 is a superb air pistol but it is not that easy to tame for precision target work in .177 but I have not tried one in .22. Which flavour is yours ?

ahhh thats where the secret lies ;its a .22 springer with a new .177 barrel installed ,she chronos at 4ftlbs and is very nice in the firing cycle for a springer im getting the measure of her for consistency and look forward to seeing how she performs on the official cards ! which is always a little different to informal practise cards .

Good effort Bob!

It is always more satisfying to squeeze a result out of a kicking springer than to hit a higher score with a recoilless or SSP air pistol.

In the 10 meter MPL series we have a +3 point bonus per card for those that shoot with a "kicker" and this has helped to even-out the scores between those that choose to shoot a kicker and those that don't.

I never thought this would be necessary for a 6 yard competition but the proportionate 6 yard targets that we use are just as hard to score well at as the 10 meter targets are so maybe we should consider this for next time.

The .22 competition would not need this as they are all "kickers" in any case!

Any thoughts .?

it may well be an option;thing is it would be good for say an accomplished trgt shooter to run say a hurricane against a pneumatic to see just how much difference would occur and if possible to enhance the accuracy ask two or three to do the same test ,then view the average across the board .
a bonus could then be calculated based on that result. i bet this isnt an original idea apology's if this is already the case .

You are right - it took us a very long time with a serious amount of time and testing to come up with the +3 points average.

At first we had a higher points bonus per card but after a seasons testing with shooters at all levels of ability it was dropped to +3 and since then we have equalised the scores to the level that not everyone automatically chooses a "kicker" any more as there is no advantage - it is now as level a playing field as it is possible to get with comparable results being achieved from "kickers" and recoilless pistols of both types ( spring and SSP).

The 6 yard targets we are using are proportional to the 10 meter targets we use at 10 meters and everybody's score and average has remained about the same between the two distances so it would be fair to assume that a +3 point bonus per card would work just as well at the shorter distance.

...but like the 10 metre competition it would need a full season of testing with all the competitors taking part so we could study the results and compare them to see if the practice is the same as the theory.

If the competitors think this is worth doing then we can start with the idea next seasons competition that starts in July - if not we can leave everything as it is now and just enjoy the erosional challenge of shooting a "kicker" and take no notice of the better score being achieved with the recoilless springers and SSP pistols.

Somebody is bound to mug us eventually - possibly with a Daisy 722, or a Crosman 1322

Nah - I think we will be safe enough for some time yet
