    The unsupported rifle and pistol does not, and I'm guessing that is where most people would want to shoot?

    What are you going to call it then as it can't be the mpl anymore ?, why not just start one to run along side it instead of adding on, then we will need one for 22 shooters as they are currently excluded, then scope users....

    MPL keeps it simple lets leave it that way

    We did try a season where we had a PCP class and believe it or not - it was not that popular and was not worth the extra time and effort that we put in to promote it and cater for it.

    The main reason was that 10 meters is seen as the distance to shoot PCP pistols and rifles whereas the old classic British distance was 6 yards and suited spring powered and SSP pistols and rifles where the “classics" could shoot alongside their more recent counterparts.

    We dropped the PCP class the following season - and nobody missed it - so we never offered a PCP class in the MPL again as it did not work.

    Including PCP in the supported classes made sense as they shot the same as any other recoiless air pistol or rifle, but I hope that the + 3 point bonus per target will also encourage the classics and kickers to get involved in this class too.

    Merry Christmas to all MPL shooters and future MPL pistol shooters !

    Happy New Year to you too and I'm looking forward to taking part in the competition

    After shooting 10M air pistol for the last few years with my Steyr LP10, it will be interesting to see how things go getting back to 6 yards using a SSP like we did in the old days

    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
