    Well I have just come back in from my cold garage having shot my six February 2014 .22 MPL cards.

    One of my first cards was the best group I have ever achieved with my old grey plastic stocked .22 Original Model 5 (that was manufactured in April 1966) and my lowest score included a complete miss

    Overall though I am quite pleased with my nights work and think the .22 competition is by far the hardest to score consistently well in.

    For a start the choice of .22 air pistols that comply with the MPL rules is very restricted. Once the .22 Original Model 5 and the various .22 Webley springers are taken out of the mix - what else is there to choose from?

    Likewise the choice of wadcutter pellet is either the .22 Hobby or the .22 Crossman Match - anybody know of any others?

    This narrow choice does of course make the .22 competition a very level playing field . No recoilless .22 single shot springers exist and nobody has found or used a .22 SSP air pistol yet either.

    Back to basics in the .22 6 yard MPL postal series then - what a pleasant change - no chance of "buying a result" with a posh (read expensive) pistol.

    This competition is still open for anyone to join us - never too late to find out what you have been missing
