    MPL Postal Competition Rules.

    The Muscle Power League Rules have not changed - but we do have a small number of additions to include the new 6 yard PCP Air PISTOL competition, and repeating these rules at the start of each new MPL season is something we have always been asked to do - so here they are again!


    .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 a competition for .177 MPL air pistol and another for. 177 MPL air rifle. MPL airguns are those that need "Muscle Power" (ie effort) to cock them and include spring powered and single stroke pneumatic airguns.

    The Supported Air Pistol competition will also continue again this season. This competition is for .177 spring powered, SSP, CO2 or PCP air pistols.

    The Supported Air Rifle competition will also continue again this season. This competition is for .177 spring powered, SSP, CO2 or PCP air rifles.

    The PCP Air Pistol competition is for .177 PCP and CO2 powered air pistol.

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

    4. 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.
