I make my score at 118 even though the scoring says 115. sorry i didnt realize white was 3 points untill i had scanned the image.

i have used my Birthday Money and just brought myself a pistol. Need to get used to it. Seeing as its my first time ever at shooting one i am pleased with my score.

i am open to any advice anyone may have regarding the technic in shooting a pistol or any general comments. i was surprised how little power it seemed to have, even though it states 393ft (120m/s)

like i said never shoot a pistol befor will shoot the target with my rifle saturday (weather permitting)

Okay, downloaded the target and placed it in the target holder.
Headed back to the firing line....
Geez, those little red dots are small. Cranked down the front iris
to try to get a sight picture on the red dot. Hmm... real small.

So, it made me really concentrate, and that affected my time.
I set the timer to 15:00 and got the last shot off just before the beep.
(I saw the time running out and fired the last shot. Guess which one it is!! Mad

)

I really like the two targets in the lower right. They look identical!!
I'm thinking if I re-print the target and shoot it again, I might have
a chance of cleaning it, but I only print and shoot one. There is always next time! Wink

Okay, Bean I posted my target so now you can post yours
(that is if you were waiting for me.... Razz

rws hobby pellets
open sight
9min 34 seconds (taken more time on my shoots this time around)

score 155 or 160 so i am leaving it to Alstone to decide (sorry m8)

I Have been practacing with my New Pistol trying to get where i am as accurat as possable to actually holding it right. belive it or not i have gone through near on 600 pellets and am on my 10th co2 canister.
My arm hurts and my shoulder is burning due to using musels i dont normaly use or required to stay still for a long period of time. but i think i have got it pretty sorted where i need to line things up to get a good grouping

Anyway i am submitting my second go at this target with my pistol. and i am not being funny when i say i think the practice has payed of. i was so pleased with score i did a dance around my garden and kissed the next doors cat ( yuk (furr ball) cant wait to see what Alstone decides

sorry Bean And Oatring Smile

There as been some craking shooting this week well done to everyone that entred.

Bean and oatring am telling you chaps well done, i nearly didnt retry again because i was sure i couldnt beat ether of you.
(But the competative side of me won)

i was just wondering if it was possable to have 2 seperate scoring systems?. where as the person with the highest Rifle score is posted with the person with the highest pistol score and the end of the week.

if this is aready the case then i am sorry for not noticeing. but its just a thought.
