The Muscle Power League - whats that then?

Oy - that's the RMTC promotional and public relations executive you are talking about!

Self appointed of course - can you meet his salary and benefits package Bob? I believe it makes Bob Diamond look good value for [everyone's] money.

Yup - due to his stunning performance as our "liason director" ( did I mention this promotion?) I am going to double his pay.

Damm....can't find the calculator, can anyone help - whats two times nothing?

Gentlemen - gentlemen please. 'Sticks and stones .......'

Today while I was at B.A.R. I managed to pick up a tidy, boxed HW70 pistol which I purchased for the club (out of club funds of course ). We now have two club pistols, an ElGamo and this HW70, either of which can be used by members for this upcoming new M.P.L. (after Ive adjusted the sights )

A good choice for a club "springer" Ian,

My first "proper" target air pistol back in the seventies was the HW70, and it is a very accurate little springer that performs well.

Like all "retro" pistols they may come as a bit of a "culture shock" after the posh PCP's - but with practice some very good scores can be had from them, and remember all the "recoiling" pistols used in the MPL series "score UP" whereas all of the recoiless pistols "score DOWN" so this can make enough difference to make them very competetive.

Another good performer that can be picked up cheap that performs very well is the GAMO Centre underlever pistol - well worth looking out for.

I dont suppose you just happen to have one for sale do you Bob?

Anyway the Rivi lads () have got a HW70 to play with AND its got sights which is a luxury for them.

Dont forget the 2 points per card advantage for the recoiling brigade plus inward scoring. After the first season (6 rounds) we will have a better idea whether this handicapping system is working and can adjust it accordingly. Hopefully we will end up with a very strange mixture of pistols heading the winners league but I doubt very much if there will be any 'over barrel' Webleys amongst them!
Now, Ive not only alienated the 'Rivi Clan' but stepped on the toes of some of the members of the Collectors Corner - and all before lunch! Who said men cant multi-task?

Your are a true multi-tasker Ian - and I know your fellow Rivvy club members are eager to congratulate you with your recent performances!

I have two GAMO Centre pistols - I will certainly be keeping one of them, but I could let one go if you would like it.

Last week I took them down to the RMTC and was surprised just how good they were - the fixed barrel helps I think, and the underlever cocking does suite some better than a break barrel.

I have them here if you would like to pop over for a brew and a "pop" with them.

They are great fun on the Bell Target and give nice tight groups.

BTW - I still have my original instruction booklet for the HW70 - so if anyone has any problems trying to find out where to insert the pellet ( or anything else technical like that) I can take copies for you to distribute!

BTW 2. I think you could be surprised by somebody with a Webley - they do shoot well once you get used to them, and a true Webely fan may well make the effort to prove it!

Come to think of it - I shot some very good cards with a Webley Junior in the old 6 yard NARPA competition at one time ( many years ago) so the Webleys are not that bad at all, and no doubt the Mk1.and Senior could be even better?

I have a nice Premier - but it is a .22 so I won't able to use that - unless I can find a .177 barrel to fit it.......
