Spring Power Pistol Competition.

[Pad. E]

Hi.

Following from this >>THREAD<< about 6yd targets. I posted a comment on whether a honourable gentlemans postal competition would start?

Now I know it's being done in the target section. However they use different targets & different range.

I wonder if anyone is interested? I don't mind doing the scores & updating on the forum, as for the rules & dates. I'll let people with more knowledge to guide me

What do you think

The rules :

Type: Spring Pistol / Single Stroke Pistol (to be stated when submitting score).

Sights: Open sights only

Stance: Top two targets two handed / Bottom two targets one handed (that way it caters for everyone & abit different)

Targets: Follow link on post #1 >HERE< using the target with 4 targets on it.

Range: Set at 6yds (That is the longest I can shoot in the back garden)

Shots: 10/15 practice shots, then 5 shots per target

Date: Anytime in the first week of every month. Starting May.

Scoring: If the pellet breaks into two points i.e 8 & 9, you score the highest number

Final scores: PM me with scores by Friday/Saturday.

Update scores: I'll put on the thread Saturday/Sunday.

If anyone can add to this or have any ideas please let me know.

Regards
Paddy.

Hi Andy.

Pictures could be posted on the thread, open sights only. Good idea of practice shots say 10/15 only.

I've already set up a monthly score sheet & leader board (tried to do PDF Link, works on xl format, had no luck yet?). Say once a month we can either start at end of April or begining of May?

Regards
Paddy.

Paddy, you ARE allowed to shoot pollythedog's competition at 6 yards, but you must use the 6 yard (reduced scale) target. I'm starting to use that one. My pistol / I seem to shoot better at 6 yards than at 10 meters, and as there are 4 bullseyes on that target, you can do the whole shoot using a single target.

I don't have a springer pistol - mine is a variant of the HW 40, and is really a single stroke pneumatic - but I think more competitions are always good: even if I don't have the time to compete. Right now, I'm doing just Polly's, but that's over in May.

Polly's allows, if I recall, any pistol that requires manual charging for each shot: NO PCP's or CO2's, in other words.

Cheers!

Sounds good to me, Single stroke & Spring as most of us have at least one of them, looking at the targets Jamie has posted do i take it you can shoot either 10m or 6 yrd on the appropriate target as i shoot 10m and don't really fancy adjusting my zero for the postal and then back to 10 for the club.

So Paddy leave it upto you for the dates as you are the man offering to do the scoring.
