Your probably right Brutuz, I think I made it a bit two easy this week, but at least it stops people getting disillusioned with low scores. 
Have a nice time in the French Alps

Well that was a mess.
If anything I'm learning alot about patience.
Started out great, nailed the practice shots, and the first 6 and 7 on the left. Then missed the 8 badly, got frustrated, and fell apart.
My time of 5:03 pretty much confirmed that.
My grip was pretty shaky also, I dont think that Monster for breakfast helped.
Learn some stuff each time.

Your right Ampage 120 it is, I'll get it right one of these weeks.
I was just saying to Brutuz that this weeks target was maybe to easy, now I'm not so sure.  |

I really should print out these targets before posting them for the competition each week, what I thought would be a difficult target is an easy one, the bulls are bigger than I though.
Anyway here we go
Date 11-3-09
Time 14 minutes
gun Umarex Winchester 94
Pellet Bisley Practice .177
Sight Peep
Range 10m
Score 92/120

Well, no one has nailed it yet. As a matter of fact I was able to put very few near the center of any of the bulls no matter how big they got. I guess my eye is drawn to the edge.
I usually shoot both rifle and pistol at these but never post my rifle results as they are usually rather pitiful. Today - I got the same score with both so I'm posting them!!! The rifle shoot was cleaner than the pistol, more center shots.

Well, I won't post my target as it was very ugly. Of course, it was the first time trying this, and I'm only using a Crosman 357. I've dropped the rear sights as far down as I can, and I'm still missing low.
I'll attempt to benchrest shoot the gun this weekend and see if I can dial in the sights better. Any advice welcomed. |

Welcome to Airgunhome Target shooting jleecbd,
I’m not sure if I’ve got it right what you said about dropping the rear sights and still shooting low, but doing that will make the gun shoot low, to lift the point of aim raise the rear sight, or the problem could be the way you are holding the gun or pulling the trigger.
BTW which barrel do you have fitted 6” or 8”?

I was using my Winchester with peep sights this week and for the large targets it was excellent, but with the smaller ones it was more difficult to hit the bull.

Yeah, I was thinking about that last night. Mental hiccup, as raising the sights has the opposite effect of raising the rear of the gun. I'll try again this weekend. |

I have a question about the stance / hold for pistol shooting.... I realize that you must not use any type of brace or rest for the gun, and that all targets must be shot standing.... Is there any limitation on the way you hold or rest the gun on your body?....
In other words, if you are using a gun with a pistol grip (no stock).... and you are standing (not leaning on or against anything).... is any hold allowed providing the gun is only touching your body?....
I assume there is no limitation on barrel length (ie a 14" barrel is OK).... Sorry for the noob questions, but I have never shot target with a pistol before and I'm trying every conceivable way to hold the wavering monster....

Hi Bob, we try to keep the rules as simple as possible, if the full pistol shooting regulations were adhered to we wouldn’t get anywhere.
So in answer to you question, you can use any hold you like including using your teeth providing your nose does not cross over the 5 or 10 m meter line.
If you want to brace you elbows against your body ok, or you could try holding your left arm out, and rest the right hand with the gun in it on your left elbow, then bring your left hand round and hold your right elbow, if you find that you get the shakes holding the gun single handed or with both hands, you could try these.
Just remember that whatever hold you use no part of your body must be over the 5 or 10 meter line.
I hope that helps

Okay, bullseyes again. Check the scoring rules... Good. Hit the red.
Is there a catch? Check the time... 15 min for 15 shots.
No problem, I should be able to do this. Printed the target, posted in
the trap and head back to position. Thank goodness for the blue rings
for the smaller dots. I can see this through the peep. Okay, now feel
the pressure to clean the target....
