Perhaps we could identify the scores that have been shot with any recoilless or SSP air pistol to allay any fears that some basic spring powered air pistol shooters may have as I know some have contacted myself as they feel discouraged to shoot against recoilless airguns.
Previous MPL series have shown that this is not really a problem as shooter with a recoiling springer can still beat a shooter with a recoilless air pistol - but we could identify any scores that can be deemed as being shot with a recoilless air pistol with a * just for clarity.
As each score is submitted with the shooters name and pistol used we can easily identify the recoilless (including SSP) air pistols and mark the monthly score total with an *.
I hope this will resolve the problem and encourage those with basic spring powered air pistols to enter without fear of being "out-gunned".
As a matter of interest some of the best and most consistent scores that we have recorded in the MPL air pistol series over the years have included those shot with Webley and Centre spring powered air pistols - hopefully this will encourage anyone with a spring powered air pistol to "have a go".
If we had more entries for the MPL air pistol competitions we could even have separate competitions for "kickers" (recoiling spring powered air pistols) and "recoilless" (including SSP) air pistols, but for now we need to keep them together as they always have been.
