A 6fpe kicker is a better tool for the job but it's interesting to see how far you can go with a full power rifle. I find the report of 11fpe rifle and the loud twang against the target holder affects my concentration a wee bit on my small, enclosed range. I'm sure I can overcome it with practice.
Thanks Drew,
Its good to shoot a variety of springers and SSP's - and the MPL competition is a great opportunity/excuse for playing with all your toys!
Lets see if we get any more comments in favour or against the +2 idea for kickers .
It attracted a few more shooters to have a go the last time we used the idea as those that did not have a recoilless rifle (or pistol) felt more able to compete against those that did on a more level playing field.
Some also enjoyed giving the recoilless shooters a serious "run for their money" - even if it was themselves they ended up trying to beat (enter with both types!).
I actually "mixed it up" the last time we did this and enjoyed shooting with both types just to see how I could do!
No problem with entering the same event twice - once with a kicker, and once with a recoilless - no problem at all - and really good fun!
Enjoy your weekend,
Bob.
