    Gamo 10m Pistol Competition

    Time for kick off with the first two cards from me and my friend, John...

    "Chucky" Rockphoon (1) 37x50 (2) 39x50 [Gamo Compact, RWS Hobby, 24.8.7]
    John "The Postie" Brotherton (1) 39x50 (2) 36x50 [Compact, pellets unknown, 24.8.7]

    Not high scores yet but we'll shoot another couple of cards and see how things go. John tends to compete with the rifle rather than the pistol but I'm a pistolman through and through so I should be getting better results than that.

    Anyone else had a go yet?

    Just to clarify the rules as such.

    Gamo Compact ( Gamo PR45 allowable also as it is the same pistol without the anatomical grips)

    Targets. Standard NSRA 10m Pistol Targets shot at 10m
    Max 20 practise shots, then shoot 4 cards, 5 pellets per card
    Card scores to be submitted on this thread by the 25th of each month.
    Highest total score after 6 months becomes the winner.
    1st card scores to be submitted by 25th Sept 2007

    Should everyone wish to continue after the first competition then any changes/improvements to the format will be discussed prior to the next competition.

    I will use this reply to update scores as they come in.

    hi, ive not done mine yet, however regards the Asi/Gamo falcon, i had one years ago, its was a spring underlever pistol and would be at a disadvantage against us Compact shooters... but if they want too, i would say that the PR45 (compact with normal grips) would be comparable and maybe the AF10 too (no adjustable trigger though)......

    unless we have a Handicap system/class system....


    just my 2ps worth, chaps

    cheers

    Sorry G
    I gave you duff info on Falcon
    As Paul says it is a spring gun
    Just to clarify on models, this is an advert from a 1990 AGW

    Gamo Falcon - spring underlever - £42
    Gamo Centre - spring underlever (no safety) with better grips - £52
    Gamo Target - spring underlever with anatomical grips - £62
    Gamo PR15 - pneumatic repeater using lead ball - £53
    Gamo PR45 - single stroke pneumatic with plastic grips - £63
    Gamo Compact - single stroke pneumatic with anatomical walnut grips -£89.95
    Sorry no mention of AF10 (perhaps it's a later model?)

    Ok guys just to make it a bit more intersting (only a bit mind, they don't call me "Arkwright" for nothing in my village!) The eventual winner at the end of 6 months will get a tin of 500 High Speed Match Kugeln .177 pellets as a token prize. I would say they were supplied by one of my business's but don't know if I am allowed to mention the website, if anyone wants to know PM me!

    Best of luck
    Graeme
    p.s. cheers for the update on the gun models guys, I am guessing anyone with a PR45 should be able to enter as well as they only have a grip difference.

    Me and John would like to consider those scores as our first two match cards. We'll submit another two by the 25th. Slightly against the rules, I know but I was keen to get this contest kicked off. For next month, we'll shoot all 4 cards in one go. On pistols, I have no objection to anyone using the other Gamo pistols but the Compact is definitely the best one to use - SSP, target grips, direct-loading breech, adjustable trigger and chunky Patridge style sights. A chap at Sutton Coldfield R&PC uses a FAS pistol and it's obvious where Gamo copied the compact from. If enough people are prepared to chip in, I'll get some Gamo Pistol Comp 2007 souvenir medals printed. Don't expect them to be made of gold though!

    Hi Herx77, certainly not too late. See the thread " blowing my own trumpet" , http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/showthread.php?t=215337for the rules. Target card is standard NSRA 10 metre Pistol card.
    Good luck.

    Hi guys,
    I'm glad to see that the guide on adjusting the Compact trigger on my 'Postcardfromspain' website is of use to you

    Even doing the 1st stage of trigger adjustment, deepening the hole, works very well right up to the point where you almost have a hair trigger

    To compensate for muzzle flip, blue-tacking melted down pellets into the front recess hole works quite well.

    Just a note; Although the Compact is advertised as having an adjustable trigger, it's bull. The only adjustment you can really make is turning the blade to the left or the right........ That screw in the plastic does absolutely nothing unless the hole is deepened which allows the screw to actually make contact

    The Gamo AF10 is a kids Co2 plinker which shoots lead balls........ok for tin cans at 5 yards

    cheers Nige,

    ive just completed stage 1 of operation "must get a reasonable score",

    ive just widened the front hole(ooer) and it works

    trigger seems alot better now, i would even say it seems lighter too perhaps the increased angle helps to trip the sear...

    also as an added bonus i still have all my fingers and the gun is still working and immaculate....


    many thanks for that site

    September card.

    Hi Graeme

    Wait for it:-

    27; 27; 27; 28 (Total 109)

    Room for improvement I believe!

    There is no palm shelf on my Compact so obviously at a massive disadvantage!

    HI Roger
    welcome on board, certainly consistent!
    Improvement is what its all about, hopefully competing will spur us all on a bit, and of course the palm shelf should help.
    No doubt see you next week at the club.
    cheers

    My last two scores for September: 34x50 and 42x50. Slight improvement with the last card! My score for September is 152x200. To encourage entries, I will put the names of everyone who enters (except me) in my hat and will pick someone out at random. The name chosen will get a special Gamo Pistol Competition prize sent to them. It will have to be a UK resident as it might cost too much to post abroad.
