I hope so too.

It has been a long time since we last had the chance to shoot Classic target air rifles at 6 yards in a national postal league and this competition is open to everyone in the UK, so whilst it is not exactly in the same league as the much loved and missed NARPA series it does bring back some happy memories of better times.

The rifle's used then of course were not Classics but "state of the art" for the time period, but the time delay has been long enough for most of the types used such as the Feinwerkbau 300S and Original Model 66 and 75 to become classics and so this competition brings out the 'feel" of what it was like to shoot in those early NSRA and NARPA postal leagues.

The long time delay since then has seen a change of 6 yard targets (that certainly caught me out) but as you say this is only a small teething problem that has now been sorted out so we should be able to move onwards with a strong series for the future.

It is good to see interested persons contributing to the thread that do not currently take part in the competition and hopefully several more reading the thread that may also be tempted to "have a go" - hopefully in the near future - but if not, their help and guidance has been appreciated.

It is never too late to enter any of the MPL series as long as you are willing to "catch-up" before they end ( this one ends in December 2014) so lets hope we continue to gain more entries as we go along.
