I will now update the scores twice a week on a Wednesday and Sunday to help with my time management at the moment.
Best cheers

Scores updated
Scores updated, this household has not shot 6yd this year so far as we are concentrating on our 10m training for the NSRA air championship next weekend but we will catch up quickly.
George
All this competition shooting started when you first entered the 6 yard postal series - and now look where this journey has taken you
Beware - this target shooting lark can get infectious and has taken George from the warmth and comfort of his home range to the cold and uncomfortable range at Bisley
Good luck George - enjoy the experience !
Rossendale Target Shooting Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening 7 - 10pm.
You also compounded it by selling me your Styer LP2 so my wife could embarrass me on regular occasions, but so far I've kept ahead when it matters . You are not the only one that have made it snow ball and advised and kept me on the straight and narrow - all the wonders of the internet.
The Lord Roberts centre at Bisley is very nice with I think 80 ish electronic firing points and it is quite intimidating but I'm hoping and training to shoot a personal best at a competition over the weekend and enjoy ourselves. Our home range involves standing in front of a log burner which runs all of the time so it is very toasty at times but we cannot replicate that at Bisley without getting into problems with the range officer!
It is an sport - an international and Olympic sport that I can compete in and still produce a respectful result unlike my other two ventures of Sprint Kayaking and dinghy sailing (took both to international level).
You have to start somewhere and the MPL was it for me and the journey is only just over a year in the making so I'm only just starting but training and seeing improvement is so gratifying and importantly I can fit the training around my crazy work life.
10m pcp and 6yd mpl are so different and 6yd is soooo challenging especially with the older lower cost sports equipment we use.
Whats the point of plinking when instead you could be trying hard to improve and competing with yourself and others, you also meet some great like minded people that are committed to working hard to raise the profile of our sport to the position it rightly commands in other parts of the World.

Sorry for the later than normal update but the internet at home is on the blink.
George
Sunday update.
Glyn is shooting superbly with his hw 30s with a dioptre fitted against the heavy old target metal.
George
goodness Les is back on form again with his hw40!!!!
Zooma's on the move and using his new Pardini K12 Junior and shooting well, the barrel and cylinders are only a little shorter than the full size K12 but it seems to make the feel so different - I've got one too a K12 with both set ups, brilliant pistol but not shot any of the 6yd targets this year as both of us have focused on the 10m so far this year but will get the ball rolling during the Easter hols.
Enjoy your shooting
George
The Pardini K12 is the longest match target pistol made and only just fits into the control size box, but is the choice of a growing number of international 10 metre match competitors and also featured well at the last (London) Olympics.
This extra long sightline would no doubt be a bonus to a good match shooter with a steady hand and strong control but for a less competent exponent of the art it can be demoralising and magnifies any sight movement.( ask me how I know :roll eyes.
Fortunately it is possible to buy a short barrel that is very simple to exchange (two screws) and this can be used with the existing standard size cylinders or with matched shorter cylinders, and like the excellent Bennelli Kite the cylinder choice can be made to give a change of balance that could be helpful to some shooters.
With the short barrel fitted it has a very similar sight-line and overall length to a Steyr LP10 so it is far from being a genuine "short" pistol - more like a "normal" or "regular" length match pistol.
When fitted (or bought) with the so called :"short" barrel and cylinders the pistol is known as the K12 Junior . I must say this does seem like a very inappropriate name, but they also make a "proper" junior sized pistol known as the "Kid" so they do have a good range of pistol lengths and weights from short to long - even if the "short" is actually "not so short".
Rossendale Target Shooting Club. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening 7 - 10pm.
You learn something every day! I had no idea the K12 was the longest AP but it does mimic the looks of their super competitive free pistol. I must agree the slightly shorter sight line has damped down the perceived shake which is difficult to shut out and just see through. Changing barrels is very quick and very simple as you say. I've got the shorter cylinders too and you can feel the difference with the junior, and I agree the title of junior does not do Pardini any marketing favours, perhaps something has been lost in translation. I've not experienced having difficulty in it fitting in the control box unlike the horrors my wife has had with the Styer LP2 compact you sold us!!! she has failed at the ESSU, Midland, and Sussex in fact everywhere it has been presented, it is such a small compact pistol but fails on its width with a left hand grip. I've sorted it for good now with the use of my milling machine. Both of us failed at the British for some of the filler I had applied on the grip under the sight area but the kind chaps lent me a file to correct the problem.
I hope it grows on you and that you can get it to suit you and your confidence in it builds as it is a nice lighter pistol.
