2008 (2nd half) Pistol Competition

[Jim McArthur]

PS. Jim, go for the 747! It can put pellet on pellet. You will be the only variable

Good scores, Derek! And good advice: I've never heard anything bad about the 747, and I've heard a lot of good.

well done to Biggles, a handmade silver bracelet will be winging its way to you shortly, please pm me your address.

congrats to John for second place, as per last year I have decided to bung a tin of pellets at 2nd and 3rd so I will sort those out for you John, Barnsr if you could Pm me your address details I will get a tin of pellets on their way to you.

Many thanks to all who took part, I hope it was worthwhile, from my point it did give me a score average increase so it has been beneficial, and it has been enjoyable shooting against like minded people from across the globe who I will possibly never meet in person but thanks to the wonders of the net have had the pleasure of making a small connection with. ( I hope that last bit sounds right!)



I will edit this tomorrow morning for the final position.

Cheers
Graeme

BIG thanks to Graeme and everyone who entered.

Shame that others dropped out as I suspect some were well capable of encouraging me to improve further; Snooper would have wiped the floor with all of us had he continued beyond R1.

Were it not for this comp, I don't s'pose my HW would see the light of day too often, so I do hope that there is a rerun some time in the not too distant future.

All the best too one and all and here's hoping you have a merry Christmas (in spite of Woolworths closure ).

Congratulations to Biggles who has been consistent right through the competition and in the end was a worthy winner.

Many thanks to Graeme for all the work in putting these competitions together and for his prompt, accurate and humorous feedback

Regards to all

One day I will have a target that looks like that! How exciting. Jan

Evening Graeme et al

Well, I finally got around to it - the final card - with the usual erratic shots, but one very pleasant surprise.

For 3 out of four of the diagrams I knew I'd fired some shots as I could see one hole either clear of the black bit or at least peeking out of it (doh ). The 4th (2nd diagram shot) was a mystery only revealed when I walked up to the target.

Results per diagram were:

1. 6,9,9,10,10 = 44
2. 10,10,10,10,10 = 50
3. 7,8,8,9,10 = 42
4. 7,8,8,9,9 = 41

Total 177 and including that PB diagram 2 which really surprised me; it hadn't felt that good. Well chuffed So much so that I felt the need to take a piccy of it ...
