    Wouldn't you be afraid to shoot it?

    Vintage Comp

    I'd be up for this.

    The cut off date and whats eligible would need careful looking at.

    Just off to dust off the Light Pattern!

    Are Old Gits welcome too?

    I have an old, I think about 1930, Webley MkI .177 air pistol, with the Safety Catch and the extended barrel. It has never been taken apart. I still love to shoot it, and I hope to get some glasses this year which will help me to shoot it better with the open sights.

    I cannot travel, but I would love to correspond, and if I go into into it any depth, I might even engage in Postal Comps. The only problem is that I do not have a Referee at the moment. I have a girl friend who has been through good and bad with me, and does not like my involvement with even Air Guns. Nonetheless she would be willing to validate my targets, and she would give me any leeway.

    So, is there any room for me there?

    Hey! It's all on a trust basis. if someone cheats they are only cheating themselves! The Umarex boys club is one of the offshoots from bbs that offers a competition opportunity , well, several: 6M target and side shoots and police pistol and side shoots........ open and optical categories. and divided into hpa/co2/spring catagories.

    WHATEVER we decide on dates or equipment, Alan, rest asured it WILL be postal. That's how we UBC boys do our regular competitions. For a lot of reasons.

    My wife and I are in Louisiana! But we will both be there for the UBC special shoot on May 23.

    Cheers!

    vintage shoot

    i'm up for it and would be pleased to offer any member who would like to enter but has no vintage gun one of mine for the competition,i'm afraid this would have to be from my close area and if a local(reasonably close perhaps 20 miles from canvey island) then not only would i enter but i would bring all my vintage guns to allow more shooters to try them.i'm at present trying to introduce bell target shooting to my stamping ground with as yet small response but it grows.more to the point i reckon all of the members of the club i frequent would probably come too.regards nik

    Nice idea Nik,

    However it will be an email/postal comp as are all the UBC comps
    It would be a bit of a drag for the comp organiser to run back and forth from New Orleans every month.

    What would be a good idea though if, like you say some locals (to you) could all get together and enter

    They would (as would you) have to sign up and Join the UBC
    The membership is a bit on the steep side costing £0.00p per year.

    Check out the umarex boys club sticky for further details.

    Take care

    Nik, as Tony said, this will be an internet comp, but it would be great if a bunch of guys could all get together for their participation in it: even more fun that way!
