I have an LP2 and keen to take part.
Thanks Tristin
The MPL is primarily about supporting classic airgun shooting at 6 yards but we also support target shooting of all types at the traditional British 6 yard distance, so if enough people want to shoot PCP pistols at 6 yards I am sure we would be happy to accommodate them in the next MPL series.
The previous attempt to run a series for PCP pistols at 6 yards was not a success so we would need to be certain there were enough people to make the series interesting before taking it on again. Most PCP shooters prefer to shoot at 10 metres - but there must be at least 10 (or more) that are curious enough to want to see how they can perform at 6 yards?
Some of us found that we can actually score at least as well - and often better - at 6 yards with classic airguns than we could with our more modern and expensive PCP pistols so maybe that is why it lost support?
Classic air pistol and air rifle shooting at 6 yards will continue and we are always interested in trying or listening to any other ideas that could work as well. This time we have added supported air pistol shooting to the series and had hoped that it would gain some more support as the season run on but so far we have failed to gain any more support - so we do give most things a try - but they need support to become a regular MPL class.
