    Maybe he'll get another surprise tomorrow, and maybe he will surprise me again on the 23rd?!?!?!?
    Either way, it will be a big surprise!

    Any thing is possible

    If the gun feel's right in your hand it will improve your scores.
    You already mentioned your scores have improved now its just a case of practice, practice, practice and I am sure you'll get there

    Jan, do you fire it single or double action?

    Thanks for running the competition - I can't believe I came 4th in the SSP class! I suppose the good thing about being self-employed is I can practice every day. Snooper601's 170 with a HW45 is amazing, I could never shoot mine accurately. Might have to enter the HW70 for next month's one, though.

    I really want a Baikal IZH46M now, but I'm not allowed one yet because I've just got a corn snake

    She fires it single in this comp, but will fire it double in that Police Pistol comp I'm going to get started and that we're all going to enter.

    Good Choice Jim. I did a review a while ago on here (http://www.airgunbbs.com/forums/arch.../t-184417.html) and I've since had a lot of use out of it. Overall, the HW70 is a brilliant, fun & easy to use gun. Using a 2-handed hold, I can get half-inch groups at 6 yards very easily indeed. However, I find shooting it one-handed very hard and I struggle to make 1.5" at the same distance. The problem is the narrow, light, hollow, plasticky grip. I've since filled it with blue-tack and pellets and although it feels better, my group sizes haven't changed.

    Get it though, you won't be dissapointed

    How do you find the WEIGHT of it, Jon? One-handed, that is?

    My Beeman at about 28 ounces is too light for me for a one-handed hold. My wife's Crosman .357 at about 32 ounces is better, but still a bit too light. My Umarex Smith at about 44 ounces is too heavy for me for a one hand hold.

    I was thinking that the HW 70 at about 38 ounces might be close to ideal.

    Ah, I should haveread your review before posting. You indicated that it felt a bit light. But was that with a one or two hand hold?

    Good site, Tony, thanks.

    That sounds right: a kilogram = approximately 2.2 pounds.

    Like most Americans, I'm not metric.
