blowing my own trumpet...

[pollythedog]

been playing at 10m pistol with a Gamo compact, just started to get the hang of the game and managed to get (using 10 pellets per taget) 83, 84 and and 88, I am well chuffed with that.
Any other Gamo users want to start a monthly shoot and submit card pictures, obviously honesty will be very much required!

I shoot well with the Gamo (almost as well as with my Original 6M) but it's a bit light in weight for my tastes and becomes a pain to cock if you are firing 60 shots plus sighters in a match. I need to make a lead weight to put in the frame somewhere. I'm happy to swap some cards in a fun comp. especially if some other Gamo owners want to join in.

I have blue tack with lead shot in it stuck in the rectangular hole under the end of the barrel.
I am on for a fun comp, definitely, lets see if any more Gamo users are interested as well and get something sorted. We could photograph a trophy and the monthly winner can post a photo of themslelves holding the picture of the trophy!

hi peeps, have just got a Gamo Compact, what a nice pistol

would post targets except that im a bit pants the moment, got 1 in the bull for a ten one in the nine and then all over the place

might as well have used a .410 instead.....

bit no doubt ill get better....., also caught my middle finger pad in the "mousetrap" ouch........

great piece of kit and sooo much better than my old co2 guns (and free air)...

its putting out an impressive 351 fps (with AA fields as these were the only .177s i had)......as if it really matters

also a quick question, what wadcutter pellets do you use???? locally the prices are a joke for wadcutters......over £6 for some bisley practice,£5.50 for Hobbies around so i think a bulk buy is in order from JSR (mostly looking at the rws types)...

cheers and thanks for reading

Hi Paul
don't worry about the scores, the idea was more as fun competition that would push us, certainly I find if I have someone to compete against I concentrate more.
As for pellets, I started with hobbys but was getting quite a few misfires, so Iam now on HN's which have not missed a beat. The hobbys also gave wild flyers occasionaly whereas the HN's seem more uniform.
At the club I use Hobbys are £3 ish a tin if you buy in bulk (box of 20) and HN's are £5.50 all the time.
Cheers

p.s. not caught any skin yet but regularly catch my tee shirt, not a pleasant site when I lift that up!!

yup im up for a friendly competition....

update is that ive found some co2 pellets that i had for my old gas gun, im gonna have a go with these (when im getting good ill use the rn10s).... will lube them for added zip and hope that i can get better.... although i shoot with 2 ex-10m instructors so im getting some good tips (may even share em with you)....

just need to set up the sights properly and weigh the front down a bit.... and sort out the heavy trigger (good stages just a bit too heavy).....

cheers and look forward to posting some decent scores....
