Paul,
Welcome to the MPL
For a real, and very enjoyable challenge, try shooting a recoiling springer pistol (e.g. Diana/Original Model 5) in the MPL
I will be using both my 1948 Original Model 5 and my Diana 5G in the Spring/Summer 2019 pistol rounds.
For the rifle rounds, I will be using my Weihrauch HW95 SuperMatch & HW30S, with the odd use of my TX200.
Have fun
Best regards
Russ
It comes as quite a shock to the system to start shooting with a spring powered air pistol after enjoying the silky smooth action of a match pistol - but guess what?....after a surprisingly short time you will be amazed at just how close you can get to your PCP scores with a basic kicker!
When we ran competitions for PCM pistols in the MPL both George and myself could not believe that we both out-scored ourselves with our SSP pistols against our regular PCP match pistols!!
I had a similar experience with an under-lever Centre air pistol too !
We get used to having everything so easy with our PCP match airguns, but we can also adapt to working with more basic airguns surprisingly quickly!
Rossendale Target Shooting Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening 7 - 10pm.
I did have a quick practice down the club last night both with my HW75 and HW45.
On 'low-power' mode the HW45 shot some decent groups and weren't much smaller than the groups I shot with the HW75
I tend to use the HW45 on 'full power' for plinking using a 'two-handed' grip at 10M and when I used the 'one handed target stance' last night, the groups moved over to the right by about 2" or so - not surprising really
I'll keep an eye out for a 'target' style recoiling pistol to use in the MPL, but I think, for my introduction for this series I'll start softly with my HW75

Paul,
The HW45 in 'full-power' mode is certainly challenging and fun to shoot
I have an HW45 Silver Star (0.177") - I might try some cards with it.
Have fun
Best regards

Hi Russ,
That's the same as what I've got and was using go on, have a go at some cards
It's a fine pistol and most shots are accompanied with a whiff of smoke - a characteristic of this gun
It reminds me of years gone by when we used to shoot my mates .22" Webley Tempest at 20yds up the back garden at .22LR pistol targets (PL12s maybe ) - although the trigger on the HW45 is far better !!
Good Shooting
