    Right then the rules :

    Type: Spring Pistol / Single Stroke Pistol.

    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.

    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.

    Paddy, two other matters that I can think of:

    - Are we restricted to one-hand hold or can we use two?

    - Are we restricted to iron sights or can we use optical?

    I like to shoot an air pistol competition the traditional way: one hand, iron sights - but many don't.

    I think with the short numbers it won't matter, I shall put on the score sheet what pistol used.

    Right then 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.

    It's the one from the link in my first post. The PDF file with the target with the four targets on it.

    This sounds fun. I'll have a go with my 45 which has resorted to spraying pellets wider than a shotgun group.

    I would love a Compact but just cant find a 2nd hand one atm, anyone got experience of the PR-45? Could (missus not knowin') stretch to a new one as there about £100.

    could get a p-800 to give myself a challenge.....

    I'm in.....

    Count me and my Webley Typhoon in, 6 yards, I'm gonna have to measure from the top of the stairs to the bottom. lol

    Any hints on pellet types? I'm a re-born airgun fan, had a rifle some 15 years ago and recently got the pistol and a tin of wadcutters (if that's what they're called), the flat headed ones.

    Planning to buy a rifle in the next month or so as well, I was thinking of an HW97, any other recommendations?

    Don't worry Andy, always got a back up pistol or two just incase i run out of Co2.
    Fancy shooting your air pistols & rifles a bit more, then guy's & gal's come visit us at the
    UBC for loads of fun competitions for all types of air pistols and rifles.
