Gamo 10m Pistol Competition

[pollythedog]

I'm up for this, not fired my Compact for ages so it'll be good to get it out

Can I clarify some rules please?

I assume it's one handed shooting, as 10m?
Is there a specific height for the target above the floor in the 10m rules?
Had you thought about scans of the targets as an alterntive to photos?

Now to start modding the trigger nd dding lead to the front

Cheers

John

Hi John welcome on board,
One handed? yes.

Height of target...er I will have to measure my clubs targets and let you know what height they are at, not considered this question before as I assumed most entrants would be club shotters with a standard height target. Good question.

Photos/scans, it was generally felt that we are all honest people on here and as we are not competing for an enourmous prize that submitting scores on this thread would suffice, and not everyone has access to scanners etc. However, should anyone wish to display their cards they are more than welcome to.
When we get Gamo Compact 10m to hit the big time and we get a national team together between us then we may have to address the scrore submission method again!

Cheers
Graeme
p.s. monthly scores when submitted are compiled on a relpy further back on this thread.

If your sticking to the ISSF rules then the target height should be:

The centre of the target should be 1.4m +/-0.05m above the level of the floor of the firing point

Not sure if your following the ISSF rules.

Thanks for the target height info, I need a new screw in the shed door then

Shooting in the back garden so wind may be a laugh as the year progresses

no pistol yet
but
just to clarify..
is that the big side on the "in practice you cannot beat bisley pellets" target?
hope that makes sense.
do we take the lowest score in the event of a broken line?

Hi Petroc, the target we are using ( I hope!) is the 6th target down on thsi webpage http://www.nsra.co.uk/Shop2/Shop_html/airgun.htm

Broken line scores count the highest value.

It's worth buying yourself a lot of these targets in bulk. It costs a bit at first but they will last for decades of shooting.

pistol arrived!
first 3 shots in a 1" group, i thought " i am going to be good at this!"

after that it all went down hill.
i have a moderate case of "gamo nipple"
we are averaging 25, so room for improvement.

or is it a caSE OF "IF YOU GIVE ENOUGH MONKEYS ENOUGH TYPEWRITERS......"
will try trigger mod, hope to submit some scores soon.
