Perhaps you would like to be the first to try to record a 50 ex 50 at 10 meters with your air pistol live on our range?
You seem to be able to do it on your own range often enough, so this would be your chance to get your name recorded for posterity (but for a good reason this time!) by recording the first "possible" on the refurbished club range.
No excuses, perfect lighting, excellent target changers and good heating - it would all be down (!) to you........and no penalties like having to buy everyone a cup of tea to worry about either!
We have already recorded several "possibles" on the range for supported air rifle shooting, and I have hit one hole groups with the air rifle at 10 meters a few times now, so it only leaves the opportunity for the air pistol to record something memorable - and since we don't shoot air pistol much here any more, it leaves the door open for an intermitent visitor (and previous club member) such as yourself (or Oliver) to grab the honour - if you can

We have some spare stickers from the days when us and the Ribby club used to shoot 10 meter MPL together - maybe that would be enough to encourage him to have a go?
Failing that you could come over and set the record and take the honour away from him
That should go down really well!

I will have you know Ive done 50 ex 50 at a variety of ranges including North Manchester, Rochdale, Rivi and of course, when I lower my standards - yours.
What nights do you shoot 10m? I cant be bothered with this 6 yard, poke em with a long pencil, stuff.

Hi Ian,
I cannot remember seeing a 50 ex 50 air pistol score from you shot live on our range at 10 metres, and I reckon if you had shot one then we would all know about it - probably for months to follow too!
As one of the first to support our club when I first started it, it would be nice if you were to be the first to hit a "possible" on our newly refurbished range. We certainly shot in a lot worse conditions when we first started the club - as I am sure you will remember!
The refurbished club range will give you your best opportunity to "put the record straight" with good lighting, warm conditions and good target changers - quite a bit different to when we saw you last.
We seldom shoot 6 yards at our club - maybe once a month (by agreement) when we fancy a change or get all nostalgic about maintaining the classic British 6 yard shooting distance and shoot our MPL targets - something we all enjoy and find just as challenging as shooting at 10 meters.
Our club nights have never changed, we still shoot on Tuesday and Thursday evenings but we are having a break over the Easter holiday period as one of us will be celebrating a 70th birthday next week and the rest of us are up to no good somewhere else!
Let me know when you are coming - there is a possibility that we will be shooting at 6 yards next Thursday night and I know that the small 6 yard targets are too much of a challenge for you so it would be best avoided
