6 yard pistol shoot. 5,49meters

Sun came out and wind abated - very confusing.

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

Centre POA for lower target

Top of black POA for lower target

That's pretty impresive Mercs! I did get a bit of time yesterday for more testing with my pistol on some 3 inch splater targets I have. Re-testing JSB exacts as they SHOULD be better than the Apolos. Still more a gathering than a groupng and still shooting high. Should get time over the next few days for more testing with both pelllets I have and if I can either get a consitent aim point or adjust the sights to shoot lower at 6 yards I will shoot another target.

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!
