MPL 2019 Autumn/Winter Postal Competition.

[zooma]

This is just to let everyone know that we will be running another Muscle Power competition starting 1st JULY 2019.



.177 6 YARD MPL POSTAL COMPETITION RULES

There will be no changes to the rules or the entry fees and we will continue to run competitions for .177 MPL air pistol and .177 MPL air rifle .

Note:- This competition is called The Muscle Power league.

An MPL air pistol or MPL rifle is described as one that needs "muscle power" to generate the energy.

A spring powered air rifle or air pistol needs "muscle power" to cock the spring and an SSP air pistol or air rifle needs "muscle power" to compress the air into the cylinder and so both can be described as MPL legal for use in this competition.


The Supported Air Pistol and Supported Air Rifle competition (both to be shot from a hard 50mm max dia bar) will also continue this year and is an "open competition" for any legal .177 spring powered, SSP. CO2 or PCP air pistols and air rifles.

Note:- This is the only class in this "MPL Postal Competition" that can also be entered with non MPL legal air pistols and rifles. MPL legal air pistols and air rifles can also enter in this competition.


LATE ENTRIES - will always be accepted - AT ANY TIME.

SHOOTING.

1. Six targets need to be shot each month with 5 shots on each = total possible score of 300 ex 300.

2. All pistol targets are to be shot single handed (unsupported) at 6 yards by the shooter himself or herself.

2a. Supported Air Pistol Shooting entries are to be shot from the standing position but ONLY the base of the pistol grip may touch the hard 50mm ( max dia) bar.

3. All air rifle targets have to be shot from the free standing position at 6 yards with no supports.

3a. Supported Air Rifles Shooting entries are to be shot from the standing position. Only the fore stock can be supported on the 50mm (max dia) hard bar

NOTE. Those taking part in either of the two Supported classes should refer to the EFRA rules ( copy shown on the BBS) :- http://www.airgunbbs.com/showthread....stol-and-rifle as we base our competition on these rules - except that we shoot at the traditional British 6 yard distance for this MPL competition.

3. The targets can be shot at any time during the month, but it is the shooters responsibility to ensure the scores are emailed to the scorer:- bat540308@btopenworld.com before the end of each competition month - or as soon as possible if you are running late or enter the competition late.

Submit your score in the format as shown below:-


JULY 2019.

A Smyth (smiffee). Original Model 66. Hobby 4.50 pellets. 38 + 34 + 37 + 41 + 44 + 39 = 233.


Please send your scores by the end of each month to Russ (PhatMan) bat540308@btopenworld.com

4/.You should keep your cards safe for 2 months after they are shot as some may be requested for random checking. Any requested cards should be posted to us, and if they are not available they will be given a zero score.

5/. Anyone who scores a perfect 50 ex 50 and would like to show it off should take a picture of the card and send it to bat540308@btopenworld.com so we can see how it should be done!

6/. To avoid any time wasting, any challenges for a disputed score must be accompanied with a cash payment for £10. This will be refunded in full in the event of a successful challenge, but donated to RMTC funds if unsuccessful.

OVERSEAS ENTRIES ARE WELCOME. The entry fee will be the same but the postal cost to deliver the entry pack will be charged at the appropriate rate - PM zooma or PhatMan for more details.

The competition is open to anyone who can shoot the cards to the appropriate MPL rules as described here. The scores should be emailed to the address provided at the end of each month bat540308@btopenworld.com

TARGETS.

1. The pistol competitions will be shot on 6 yard Air 8 targets, the rifle competitions will be shot on 6 yard Air 7 targets.

2. All the targets required to complete each 6 month series will be provided in the entry pack.

3. Spare Air 8 and Air 7 targets will be made available to purchase from us if required for practice. Bulk target supplies are available from the NSRA.

4.Competition targets no longer need to have any stickers fixed to them prior to shooting. This competition is based entirely on trust and so there is really no point in asking for them to be stuck onto the target before shooting. Please sign your cards in the middle (across the reverse side) of your targets before shooting so you recognise them as your competition targets and not one of your practice targets.

Permitted AIR PISTOLS, AIR RIFLES and PELLETS.

1. PISTOLS. Any single shot .177 spring powered or SSP air pistol that complies with the main MPL rules will be eligible for this competition - if in doubt, please check the main MPL rules. Original manufacturers open sights only - no other type of sight is permitted.

1a. SUPPORTED AIR PISTOL. Any type of single shot .177 air pistol ( including CO2 and PCP) can be used to shoot in the Supported Air Pistol competition.
Original manufacturers open sights only - no other type of sight is permitted.

1b. RIFLES. Any single shot .177 spring powered or Single Stroke Pneumatic air rifle with "open sights" or dioptre sights can be used in this air rifle competition. Telescopic sights or any other form of optical aids are banned.

1c. GASSER RIFLES. There will be no 6 yard competition for CO2 or PCP air rifles with us this season.

1d. GASSER PISTOLS. There will be no 6 yard competition for CO2 or PCP air pistols with us this season EXCEPT in the Supported Air Pistol Class where any .177 single shot air pistol can be used.

2. Only semi-wadcutter (flat nosed) pellets should be used to give clear cut holes in the Air 8 and Air 7 targets. Round nose pellets will not give a clean enough cut to permit clear scoring, and cards that cannot be scored clearly should be given a zero score.

3. BB's and any pellet other than .177 calibre are specifically banned from this competition.
