10m pistol comps, info required

[thisisdonald]

Im itching to get into some postal leagues and attend some 10m pistol comps, the trouble is, Im struggling to find info.
Can someone please sort me out with some links.
I was on the scottish pistol associations website and there is mention of a 10m pistol grand prix in June, but I cant find any dates or links.
I cant wait for the winter leagues, whats out there!?

Might not quite be what you are after but have a look at UBC (Umarex Boys Club). Membership is free.

They have a range of competitions and all internet based. Plenty of categories to choose from - I shoot with a single stroke pneumatic (FAS) and a CO2 BB pistol (Remington 1911).

'Standard' targets and things like Police Pistol too, shot at 6 yards. I can't quite get to 10M on my patio outdoor range so don't do that, or the rifle stuff.

Hope this helps

Thanks lads.. ill have a look at thise tomorrow.. its mrs thisisdonalds 30th today... time to get blootered!
Im primarily interested in 10m because of my newly acquired fwv100, but i also have a .22 tempest, .22 scorpion/rd25, .177 nemesis/ tasco 40mm rd, and a .177 gamo falcon.
If i could ever get my dads mak to stop pissing co2 i could use that too.
Some of those disciplines sound like fun. Cheers.

We have a few 10m comps too so I know you would find a few comps you would like mate..

What makarov does your dad have and where's the CO2 leak coming from I might be able to help..

And a big happy birthday to Mrs thisisdonald, hope you both have a great day.

Hi Donald,

Have a look in the Competitions section of this site for the Muscle Power League - if you have a target rifle or pistol that requires muscular effort to cock rather than a PCP or CO2, the MPL is an excellent starting point. Otherwise, have a look on the NSRA website - they are the governing body for match shooting in the U.K. and will point you in the direction of a local club that participates in postal or shoulder to shoulder events.

Kind regards,

John

Cheers John..Imissed entry for the summer league and am eagerly awaiting the winter one.. that gives me plenty of time to practice. in the meantime Im reading loads about technique - the pilkguns website is excellent

Thanks Marc - Ill pass it on.

I think the mak is a gen1 and just dumps when the bulb is screwed in. it leaks right out of the barrel IIRC.. Ill ask my dad later today when i see him. I had a look at it alomgside the exploded diagram, and was convinced I could fix it, each of the 3 attempts I made. no joy...CO2 is a dark art!!

The NSRA/Eley postal is a good comp to start with as it is graded, dependant on ability. Any NSRA affiliated club can host entrants and I believe entries close around August with a start in November if memory serves me correctly.

I'm presently contributing occasional articles on technique to Airgun World as I used to shoot 10 metre pistol and you never know, some of the tricks I learned may well help others!

Best of luck,

John

No problem mate

Is does the co2 dump out before you put the magazine in the gun, or only when you then put the magazine in the gun?
I would strip it down, inspect it clean it then soak all the seals overnight in a rubber safe silicone oil. then try again, hopefully it does not need a new valve..
Also on UBC there are a good few baikal makarov owners plus we have a sub section just for the baikal makarovs so im sure you could get the help you need from there too..
