Spring Power Pistol Competition.

[Jim McArthur]

Hi Guys.

Just had ago, with the pistol at 6yds, my Hw45 not zero'ed shooting low & my grouping is slightly bigger than a £2 coin . At least this will give me some pratice to try & get better


Right then the rules :

Type: Spring Pistol / Single Stroke Pistol.

Range: Set at 6yds (That is the longest I can shoot in the back garden)

Shots: 10/15 practice shots, then 5 shots per target

Date: Anytime in the first week of every month. Starting May.

Final scores: PM me with scores by Friday/Saturday.

Update scores: I'll put on the thread Saturday/Sunday.

If anyone can add to this or have any ideas please let me know.

Regards
Paddy.

Paddy, two other matters that I can think of:

- Are we restricted to one-hand hold or can we use two?

- Are we restricted to iron sights or can we use optical?

I like to shoot an air pistol competition the traditional way: one hand, iron sights - but many don't.

Ok..plastic with the Copmpact & HW40 but the thoughts there...

I'll update the rules on my original post & this post below. Thanks for you input

I think with the short numbers it won't matter, I shall put on the score sheet what pistol used.

Right then the rules :

Type: Spring Pistol / Single Stroke Pistol (to be stated when submitting score).

Sights: Open sights only

Stance: Top two targets two handed / Bottom two targets one handed (that way it caters for everyone & abit different)

Targets: Follow link on post #1 >HERE< using the target with 4 targets on it.

Range: Set at 6yds (That is the longest I can shoot in the back garden)

Shots: 10/15 practice shots, then 5 shots per target

Date: Anytime in the first week of every month. Starting May.

Scoring: If the pellet breaks into two points i.e 8 & 9, you score the highest number

Final scores: PM me with scores by Friday/Saturday.

Update scores: I'll put on the thread Saturday/Sunday.

If anyone can add to this or have any ideas please let me know.

Regards
Paddy.

Which target again? Sounds great to me. But what are these umarex grape busters gonna shoot?

It's the one from the link in my first post. The PDF file with the target with the four targets on it.

First week in May,

If you look on post #22 I've compiled a list of rules

Thanks Time to get practicing! I'll be using a HW70

[ikarma70]

i suspect my 45 would be the best out of all my pistols.

Don't worry Andy, always got a back up pistol or two just incase i run out of Co2.

[gedfinn 2]

Can someone shoot them for me ? ( Local, that is )

[eredel]

Eric.

[Pad. E]

Me too. Good on yer Eric. And lets be honest chaps. I practiced last night with these rules and scored a really sobering 38.

Hi Andy.

Did you use this part of the rules.

Stance: Top two targets two handed / Bottom two targets one handed (that way it caters for everyone & abit different)

I'm not looking forward to compare the scores from two handed to one handed. It's all good fun though.


Don't you think this thread is beginning abit "Oh woe is me" (thats me included )

[harvey_s]

Hi All....
Completely new to this - excuse any etiquette errors!

Paddy...
Me & the Beesa would like to take part too if poss.

Forgive stupid question - but "Range: Set at 6yds" is that from your feet or the muzzle (otherwise might be nearer 5 yards!!!

Thanks

Harvey
