6 yard Air Rifle Shooters Wanted.

[zooma]

We need a few more people who can shoot a spring powered air rifle at 6 yards to enter the 6 yard MPL Postal Air Rifle Competition.

Any spring powered .177 air rifle can be used with open sights or peep sights, but telescopic sights are banned.

This should also appeal to bell target shooters who (in many cases) already shoot spring powered air rifle with open or peep sights at 6 yards.

This competition only needs 6 targets to be shot every month between now and the end of June so it is not exactly very time consuming and it is also a good excuse to give those old classic air rifles some exercise.

Most modern air rifles are used with telescopic sights these days - and many new spring powered air rifles don't even have "open" sights fitted, - but some do (and almost all classic air rifles were never made without them) so there are still plenty of different spring powered air rifles to choose from that can be shot with "open" or "peep" sights.

This "old school" competition takes us all back to basic air rifle shooting and will make a refreshing chance to see if any of us can remember how to do it!

Late entries for this competition will always be accepted, but entering now will give you the full 6 months time period to shoot your six sets of six targets (one set of six per month), and entering later has no penalties other than having less time to shoot your six batches of six targets.
