Bob,

Nicely summarised

In addition, I feel that it also allows shooters who do not have dedicated target rifles to enter, and not be at a great dis-advantage.

A lot of the 'modern', as well as 'vintage' recoiling 'sporter' springers can shoot small 'one-hole' groups and 'possibles' on the 6 yard targets.

There is a lot of satisfaction to using such rifles in the MPL.

Have fun

Best regards

Thanks Russ,

I forgot to mention the vital advantage you mention that the MPL has to offer where specific target rifles (and pistols) are not needed (but are welcomed) to give a good personal challenge, and mastering these (or at least trying to master them) can be very rewarding.

Previously, I have entered in the same class twice to compare my scores at the end of the year between a rather more sophisticated recoilless match pistol (Model 65) and a simple kicker (an old under lever Centre) and was surprised to see that the basic kicker was more than capable of giving the recoilless pistols really good run for its money!

The MPL scores are (in some ways) really only for the shooters own personal benefit, but what they do is to produce a good reference log and encourage others to see what they can do with similar basic airguns too - so the competitive element is still very much alive - but in a nice way!

Happy New Year Russ - and thanks for your help with the MPL - your efforts are appreciated by us all

Thanks Russ,

I guess it is the time of year when we consider when we should close this Autumn/Winter competition by giving a last date for posting and receiving scores.

Can I suggest that the last date for posting any results for this July-December 2018 competition should be 1st February 2019 as it will give everyone time enough to complete any targets that they intend shooting and a months overlap with the new Spring/Summer 2019 competition that will run from January 2019 - December 2019.

Happy New Year!

Bob.

Hi Rob - you are right - we are generous - not to mention tolerant and encouraging etc etc (although I suppose "good looking" would be too strong a claim to add to our attributes - even at this festive time of year?).

We have always tried to encourage anyone to enter the MPL at any stage of the competition and we have been happy to accept late scores too.

However - at the end of each season we do have to call "time" when it starts to overlap with the next new competition but we are still happy to give everyone the best possible chance of completing the competition as we appreciate that the Christmas and New year period can be a very busy time for some - so 31st January it is for anyone who still has some last minute targets to shoot so we get the scores on or before 1st February!

Meanwhile - anyone that has time to spare and is getting a little bored is welcome to enter the new 2019 Spring/Summer MPL postal competition and start paper punching straight away
