EVERYONE WELLCOME

2) Shooting distance is 5m/16.4ft for pistols.
3) Shooting distance is 10m/32.8ft for rifles.
3a) The rules for shooting 5m or 10 m are that the distance from the target to the firing line should be 10m for rifle and 5m for pistol.
All shots, from whatever shooting position must be made with the competitor wholly behind the firing line but able to touch it.
Basically the shooter should be behind the line but the part of the gun not being held by the shooter can protrude past the line.

5) Any sighting device may be used.
6) NO rests or steadying aids are allowed.
7) 20 shots total, 1 per Target. Max score is 200. Up to 5 sighting/practice shots not on the clock using the Green dot

9) Scoring is 10 for each animal, Only one hit per animal counts. Maximum point count is 200.
10) Entries need to be scanned or photographed and posted. Please list gun, pellet, sighting device and total time expended.
11) You can enter using both a pistol and a rifle as separate entries, only one entry for each, but all rules must be followed.
12) Score your own target. Winner and Runner-Up will be verified by board officials.
13) An honourable contest for sport- to lie or cheat, is the only real loser. Please keep it above-board!
14) Each competition runs from Monday to Sunday. Your entry must be posted in the forum no later than 23:00 GMT Sunday.
15) These rules are for this week's shooting competition and may change for others

I purchased a set of Grip Master Prohands (blue, red and black) and have been using them anytime I am watching tv or just seated. I can tell a difference in my grip and control after only two weeks of use.

Also, started using the cup & saucer hold which is great for low recoil handguns. And the most important upgrade is finally getting a heater installed in the garage !!!

I should have shot the rifle target the day I shot the pistol target. Before starting today I dropped an open tin of RWS R10s on the garage floor and I was not about to throw them away. I washed them in mineral spirits, dried with heat gun, then relubed with pellet lube oil. I'm a cheap old guy...

In actual fact although the score is low the shooting is good, you could have got another 100/ 120 points if the shot had landed a bit higher, you shots are falling low on half of your shots but are perfectly lined up on the vertical, you just need to lift your aim slightly or alter your hold.
Keep at it

Interesting stuff but what is the "Cup & Saucer" hold? I agree with the heater no way can you shoot and shiver at the same time.

| I haven't heard of the cup and saucer hold either. Please explain. I do need to set my range up again. I just don't have time to shoot anymore.I wish I had as much time free as I used to, but sadly I am getting stretched on my time for fun stuff. |

Thank you. I actually figured out why my shots were off of the mark. I forgot to tighten the Scope Mount screws, and the scope was moving. That and along side of a shaky hand.  |

Cup & saucer hold, or grip, is when you place the weak hand palm up under the strong hand which is gripping the pistol. It was only used for low recoil handguns years ago and is no longer recommended. I move my weak hand even farther below so the bottom of the grip is centered in my palm. With the popularity of heavier loads (10mm, .45acp and .357) in handguns these days the cup and saucer hold is not used as the strong hand and pistol will recoil upward out of the palm up hand. It was hard to find a good image of the cup and saucer hold, but here is one.

Cheers Stu, I can see the advantages of that hold in some circumstances.

vitalymezh is on form this shoot and welcome to Jr. Squirreler.
Sean I will use you target next shoot, the only criteria I use for submitted targets is that they do not use to much ink, have 10 to 20 targets and have somthing for both pistols and rifles.
