    Hi Nige,

    Place the stickers centrally on the back of the target so you shoot through them.

    This idea works well as long as you are close enough to the black bit in the middle when you shoot the card!

    You could try putting the stickers centrally on the front of the target ........but it makes it tricky to score

    I guess with a self scoring ( trust system) competition it makes very little difference where you put the sticker (within reason) but knowing it is fixed to the target is often worth - 2 points (or more) so having it on makes it a "pucka" match card

    Cheers Bob, obviously when I said the front I didn't actually mean across the center I figured shoot through was probably the method used, looking forward to having a go, reckon I've tamed the HW enough to shoot single handed now, I can see me having an even larger collection of pistols by the end of this

    This disease that can cause additional purchase of spring powered and SSP air pistols is known as the MPL.

    A similar strain of the MPL disease has also been known to affect air rifle shooters too.

    Sadly there is no known cure and any attempt to find one would be strongly resisted

    Come and Join Us !

    We still have a few of our "regular" MPL shooters who have not yet renewed for this new season and the interest generally is good but we still hope a few more will join us and get a bit more use out of their classic air pistols and air rifles.

    Where else can you get 6 months of 6 yard fun in a well organised national competition with your classic ?

    Come and join us and get your entry in - all details at the start of this thread

    Took my 1st 5 shots on a stickered card. Wish I hadn't. Guess I will need to get used to the pistol a lot more before shooting the remaining 5 for this month.... or take them down the club and use their FWB 100. The Gamo Compact has probably the worst trigger out of all the pistols I have used and it is the one I shoot the most inconsistently with. Might have to see if my RFD has any cheap pistols when I pick up the LP10E sometime next week.
