Some thoughts on .22 MPL pistol shooting .......
I found that my .22 Original Model 5 pistol doesn't quite produce enough power for the RWS Meisterkugeln pellets to consistently cut a clean hole in a slightly damp NSRA 6yd pistol target.....![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](images/smilies/rolleyes.png)
So, plan B....try my Weihrauch HW45 Silver Star on the 'low-power' setting to shoot my MPL targets.
Well, that was slightly better, but the pellets were still not cutting clean holes with every shot, so I decided to shoot my MPL cards with the gun on 'full power' complete with the traditional HW45 whiff of smoke ![Old EEK](images/smilies/eek.gif)
Noticing that most of the shots were falling slightly to the right of the black aiming area, and the shots in the black were actually fliers
, I adjusted the sights a few clicks over to the left and up a bit and ended up with two sets of cards with reasonable scores.
There is certainly more work to be done, and a consistent grip is definitely essential when shooting one of these hand cannons, but we have made a start with .22 target shooting now, so with a bit more practice, I would say that scores in the low to mid 40s should be achievable.
Good luck and good shooting
