New to bell target shooting.

Hi all and thank you to the admins for validating my account,

My name is Allan I'm 42 recently separated male with AUDHD who has just been introduced to the world of bell target shooting along with my eldest daughter (16), I'm not the best shot in the world and as usual I didn't research this hobby before jumping in feet first all the way and blow me of it ain't incredibly expensive but great fun, I've managed to pick myself up a reasonably cheap PCP rifle £300 AA s400 classic, needed to buy the Dioptre sights and still need to restrict the power output it's around 11ftlbs and I need a minimum of 7, sadly I didn't check the gun first and it's a right handed stock 🤦 and being a lefty it's not great, anyways thank you for gaking the time to read this

A good gunsmith will have your gun running at 6ftlbs for not much money .....enjoy the sport

Many years ago, the bell target was the fun part of the day at the club.You put 10p in the box to have 5 shots, 1 sighting at a paper target and 4 at the bell but with a spring power pistol ( told you it was for fun). Winner takes all. There wasn't many shoot off's, but they did happen. Never did it myself.

Hi Alan

If you're gun shop can't sort it, here's someone close to Beduff who can :-

They are based in Newbold Verdon, Leicestershire, so maybe just a half hour drive for you.
