    Went out and practiced a bit today, but had to stop because of rain. I'll try again!

    Done some practicing today.

    I couldn't get on with the laser, So I went back into my bits & pieces box, a few minutes later I came up with >THIS<

    I zero'ed it much better than the laser, went onto my target. However the zero was progressingly going over to the right . Until I realised everytime I cocked the HW45 my thumb was turning the turret wheel . God I'm pants, well at least I'm honest


    So the competition is now on good luck to you all.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Results are in.

    Hi Guys & Girls


    The results are in for the first round of the snooker competition.

    Sorry that I have to stick to the rules rigidly to those who didn't take part or asked for an extension . I had to do this in the first season also.

    Right back to business.

    I think & everyone who shot the the first season, that this target is much harder & less forgiving! So without further ado

    Click >HERE< to view the scores.

    Regards
    Paddy.

    Thanks Paddy for another great Competition, Bloody hell that new target is hard

    Mr. Mike B how did you manage to shoot better with open sights than optical, good shooting fella.

    Well done to all who took part.

    Good Luck for next month

    Agreed - it's a complete bitch, isn't it?

    Sheer fluke I think, Jason. I've been training hard for the past couple of weeks with the Compact, I've zeroed it to shoot to POA which causes me a few sighting issues with the standard 6yd targets as well as with the blacks on the Snooker, but in compensation, the trigger has been nicely fettled to my satisfaction and I've added weight to the muzzle. The Nighthawk's trigger is in a different league, sadly. All in all, the Gamo is shaping up to be an awesome bit of kit, and I'm still learning with it.

    Well done to you fella for the Gold in the Optical Division, and to Paddy for the Silver.

    Also, well done to everyone who took part - it is much harder than the last season, and those white segments just seem to gobble up the pellets, don't they?

    A big thanks to Paddy, Jim and the UBC Management for dreaming up such a devilishly difficult challenge. And can I just say...



    Yessss!


    My first Gold!
