    Plinking and paper targets out to 10m
    Pistol HFT out to around 20m .
    You don't need to be running at just under 6ft/lb
    My Rohm runs at around 3.5 which is more than adequate.
    Grips seem to be adjustable on many target pistols , just make sure that it feels right for you .

    Gamo Compact is a nice basic target pistol, single stroke pneumatic, adjustable grips & less than £200 new.

    Look at the Lov 21. You'll have £200 change from your budget.
    It's a single shot CO2 pistol that is accurate and powerful enough to punch clean holes
    In targets at 10M. Very accurate too.

    Hi,
    if you're going to be using a scope then the pp700sa is hard to beat for the price, extremely accurate and very powerful. Open sights are useless on it though, so no good for 10 meter target.

    I do pistol hft with open sights, so if you can find a good PCP with open sights you can use it for both.

    It needs to be relatively powerful to knock down hft targets, and a 45+ shot count to make it round the course.

    I use a 1983 semi-recoiless spring powered Feinwerkbau 90 (electronic trigger) for HFT and the missus uses a scoped pp700sa and we do pretty well.

    Cheers,
    Matt.
