Webley versus Steyr shock!!!!

[Amac]

I think Gerard's explanation of his own personal experience when wielding a wobbly perfectly summarises how threatened those used to shooting high end PCPs feel when confronted by a "real" gun. I know the feeling well. The thing is chaps that said Jones, as I mentioned in the opening post, had his bottom slapped by an admittedly expert pistol shot using a 40 year old Premier.

It is unfortunate Gerard that you have given Ian the "Flare Gun" description. Things are hard enough as it is! My mission this evening is to first catch the unbeliever, strap and tape a wobbly into his hand, and watch him try and hit the bull while hanging from the ceiling of the 10mt range shouting "Come back Christine, I love you really."

Thanks for your efforts last evening as well Bob. If Ian manages to survive this evening in one piece, I will take a picture of him wielding a wobbly in either his live or dead hand. I'll give you "overarm swing" you utter heathen!!!

As with all springers I believe the main secrets to controlling recoil and shooting reasonably accurately with these pistols is not to grip too tightly and FOLLOW THROUGH.

I shall be bringing a pistol to the club tonight for an airing. No, its NOT a Wobbly. Its got better wood work than 'the plumbers nightmare' and more of it.
It has less plastic.
Its got a better trigger than the Birmingham 'flare gun'.
It IS British made! [I think]
It IS multi shot.
I bet it gets more use than the Wobblys.

Feeling a wee bit lonesome are we, hmmmm?

He is feeling smug Gerard because my own Wobbly Tempest failed to perform this evening unfortunately. For whatever reason, and believe me a couple of us tried our best, we couldn't get a zero. Interestingly, the gun is very consistent over the chrono, but if you cant hit anything, well, what can I say?

Ians "Orca" semi automatic pistol was much more accurate tonight. He was shooting it at all and sundry. Its very accurate for an elastic band gun I must say. Just needs some more work on the stock and it could go into production. Me, I will stick to the Wobbly Mk1 and Premier which are clearly far superior to the Tempest I hate to say. The BSA Magnum I was using was a different matter though. Take a look at the other thread for a quick summary of that guns good performance.

(Awaits tirade from Ian Jones)

Tirade!

Happy now?

Don't give up on your Tempest - there are plenty of good results being displayed here on the BBS that have been shot with the Wobbly Tempest so yours is not typical and just needs some attention.

Your next visit to RMTC can include some time with my .177 Tempest - no problem getting that one zeroed-in on the 10 meter target - come and try it for yourself.

Don't go all wobbly with your Tempest
