    Thanks Bob - you could do well with a Hurricane.

    I tried a .22 Hurricane last night and wished I had used it instead of the Model 5 !

    Don't forget to let me have your postal address !

    I have just completed the last of my cards for the January .22 6 yard MPL postal series.

    The cards were shot with my Grey Plastic Grip Original Model 5 ( stamped as being made in April 1966) following the fitting of a new end cap and a set of the correct type of sights and I used Hobby pellets.

    I did take a few shots with an old .22 Hurricane after I had shot with the Model 5 and I was very surprised at how good it was. The trigger did not feel that good to be honest but I let the pistol jump around after I had released the shot and to my surprise all the shots were inside the black.

    thats exactly what i found , after the leap you think well that could have gone anywhere,but was very pleased to find they had found their way into the black.of the 4 hurricanes and two tempests i have ,no two seem to have the same feel as you edge off the release ;a challenge in itself but well worth the time and effort to learn. im up to the 30s plus with odd flyers to keep me honest,if a newbie l/h can do it anythings possible.

    ........I'm not suggesting any of the other shots would be in the black - I quit while I was ahead

    Hey Bob, If I'm in time - can I have an entry in the .22 class please?

    I can pay by bank trans, like I did for the .177 class.

    Would that be the same £26.50 inc another 100 practice cards and the delivery?

    I'd like to give you guys some competition, with my trusty Tempest!

    Hi Phil,

    You are more than welcome to join us in the .22 class - we need all the support we can get

    It is never too late to join in the 6 yard MPL series - and you are not really that late so there will be very little catching-up needed.

    I will get another entry pack prepared for you and another 100 spare targets and send them to you by "next day" carrier as last time.

    Thanks for your support.

    Thank you for all your help, Bob

    Sent you a PM.

    Looking forward to it - Phil
