6 yard MPL Postal Competition for Classic Air Rifles. - Any Interest ?

[zooma]

I am starting this thread to see what interest there would be if we run a 6 yard MPL Postal Competition for .177 spring powered and SSP air rifles.

The rules would be basically the same as the existing 6 yard MPL postal competition that is already running for air pistols but it would be shot on more suitable 6 yard air rifle targets (Air 7) and will suite those that would like to shoot from home or anywhere that is safe to do so.

The rifles are to be shot at 6 yards from a standing ( unsupported) position ( same as bell target and 10 metre rifle).

This competition also suites those that have no local shooting club that they can easily get to as well as those that are fortunate enough to have a local club they can use.

Like the other MPL competitions this one is for air rifles that need "muscle power" to cock them and provide the energy so CO2 and PCP rifles are banned.

The idea is to encourage the use of .177 Classic air rifles that will generally be more affordable than CO2 or PCP air rifles and can provide a "more even playing field" for those that take part with limited budgets.....and for those that can afford to invest in the latest high tech kit - if they wanted to !

The competition is fun and self scoring - each month you shoot 6 match cards and then email your score to us after you have shot your targets. Simple!

If there is enough interest the competition will start in July 2014 and run for 6 months until December 2014.
