Another pistol competition

[derekm]

Could someone produce a printable (correct size) NSRA target, for those who cannot buy them? Also for our friends over the pond, as the chances are they will be unfindable in the States.
Printed on ordinary paper and backed with a bit of cornflake packet, they should cut OK for a friendly comp.

The NSRA card is identical to the 10 metre cards that are used internationally in World/Olympic comps etc. and so are used all over the world
The 6 yard cards are different and were produced by the NSRA partly for those clubs that do not have 10m facilities. I doubt if they are found abroad but I could be wrong(often am)

Right!
Hope I'm not jumping the gun, but to get the show on the road (and get the laughs over with!) here are my first four ABYSSMAL cards, shot last night with a Baikal IZH 53M.

5 7 7 9 9 37
5 7 8 9 9 38
5 6 7 8 9 35
6 8 8 9 10x 41
------------------
151/ 200

Must practice more with this springy thing; first time I picked one up I did an 86!

I wish I could be doing so abysmally bad with my Beeman, The BEST card I ever shot was 37/50; TYPICAL card is far worse.

I assume this will be iron sights only? (I hope so; I don't own a scope!)

Hi Jim
welcome on board
gotta admit I had not even thought about anything other than iron sights being used.

But, yes, iron sights are the order of the day.
Cheers

Tres bien!

My kind of a pistol competition, where "one hand" and "open sights", go without saying!

Keep at it Jim and it will click in place, especially with a pneumatic. My PB with a Daisy 717 was 88/100 and with the Alfa it's 95. These are single cards though, not averages. It's a shock to the system going back to a (modest) springer, but satisfying if and when it works!

... but which I reckon was worth it as it should remove any doubt we're all using the same sizes, at least within tolerances that make it insignificant.

Looks as though NSRA adopted the ISSF 'standard', but there are otherwise enough variations out there, including some which may be defunct, but you'd bet remain lying around in dim dark corners of cupboards.

Attached is my final attempt to satisfy, so has three options:

1 & 2 : two 10M editions - one with a single target out to the 1 ring and one with 4 bulls on a page for the brave souls who are confident they can hit 5+ every shot

and

3 : a single page with 4 full targets, but scaled down for shooting at 6 YARDS.

Before anyone says anything, the 4x10M sheet bulls LOOK bigger compared with the single. It's an illusion!

All the best
