6 yard pistol shoot. 5,49meters

I must get around to trying another target with the Webley.  We had a bit of a re-org in the garage which meant my 6 yard indoor range was no more.    All sorted now  and more than enough clear space now.   Did shoot a few 3" shoot-n-see targets stuck to cardboard cut to fit in my pellet trap and I do like how the Webley shoots.  Nowhere near the standard of some of the other members but hopefully can do better than last time.

Looking to buy another pistol at present for more serious target shooting - waiting on answers from Andy Mayberry regarding several he is selling.   Probably find all the target guns have already been snapped up. I do like the FWB Model 65s as they are spring powered and have complex recoil management system which I think is more interesting than a single stroke pneumatic.  Having said that I was keen on the Gamo Compact but I'm pretty sure that's sold.   Next choice for me after the FWB is either the Daisy 777 or Walther LP3 

I did email the Rifle, Rod and Gun Club Manawatu over a week ago asking about 10m Air Pistol but have yet to get a reply so possibly not a big thing at this club?   The HB pistol club is at least 40mins further drive from home so Palmy is much more convenient.   Also the HB club lease is expiring soon and they have already been told it will not be renewed so not sure where it might end up. 

Not sure if I would like 10m air pistol or not - but would like to try at least and none of the guns I'm considering are too expensive.   I have put my Gamo P900-IGT on TradeMe. If it sells I will help with the cost of a better "target" pistol.  Then again if nothing comes of the Palmy club, I may just stick with what I've got for backyard plinking - and the 6 yard challenge!

I have bought some silicone moulds and have been making plaster of paris targets. So far I've tested a robot and a astronaut bunny with the webley and managed a clean head shot on the robot and cut the astronaut off at the knees at about 5-6 yards.   Search for "lego men" on the TBT channel and you will get an idea what I'm talking about.

   

But I'm enjoying watching you sharp shooters zapping those targets!!!  

Quite pleased apart from a couple of wayward shots.

As for the discuson around scoring - my understanding is that if you break the line you score the higher score.  As for 10.1 for a perfect bull - while I have heard of this, I don't beleive we need go this far.  As  Pauly said- a 10 is a 10.  Hell in my case I'd be happy to break the line on a 10  once across 10 shots with my pistol!

While I am competitive,  I'm mostly competitive with myself. I shot a 67 with my first target and I want to do better next time.  I'm interesed in what every one else is doing and very impressed with Mercs latest effort, but I'm not going to argue that a paticular shot is an eight or a nine or get miffed because others are scoring higher than me.  For me it's  all about being out there doing it - and the more that are involved the better - so get those pistols out and start shooting!

Bench rest using a bag, the white low and high were each the last of 5.

Having to crouch down to line up the sights was more difficult than expected.

Good fun
