    I would love a Compact but just cant find a 2nd hand one atm, anyone got experience of the PR-45? Could (missus not knowin') stretch to a new one as there about £100.

    could get a p-800 to give myself a challenge.....

    Can we post May scores yet?

    Is it OK to post May scores yet?

    If so, I did, with a Beeman P3 single-stroke pneumatic .177 with H&N wadcutters:

    2-handed, 30 and 33
    1-handed, 24 and 25 =

    112 / 200 (worse than I did all-one-handed on Polly's competition! )


    If not: then it gives me more time to practice!


    But in all seriousness, I need a heavier pistol: I just can't hold that plastic piece steady enough to score well with it.

    I know we are in a different time line, I didn't know it was that way ahead

    Only joking.

    It's the first week in May, so you've got another 10 days. What I was thinking is PM me the scores & once I've got all scores I'll make it public. Gives it abit more suspence

    What do you reckon

    Regards

    Hi Jim before buying a new pistol or adding wieght to your muzzle try this, get your self 12" of fishing line and a tub of lead fishing wieghts, loop and tie off the line and add wieghts to the line and loop over the muzzle so it pulls the end down, keep adding wieght until it shoots the way you want. it's a cheap option to find out the wieght required, once you know the wieght you can add it permanatley inside the muzzle.

    buying a heavier pistol doesn't mean you will hold it steady, and can even have the reverse affect IMHO

    I thought this comp. was for pistols that went "Boing" or "Twang", not "pump, pump, Phuut"

    Cos' on first go I 'aint never gonna compete at this kinda level....
    First practice today totalled 41

    But it was windy, and my sights were originally set for 15 yards, and i was feelin' kinda low and then the tortoise came haring past & put me off...
