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.

	I am in the throws of moving house and everything is packed away. Moving on Friday, so for some sanity I might be able to sneak away and relax my mind and shoot a couple of targets later in the weekend.

	So this is 9m (due to convenient distance place target) Out doors, breeze left to right. Black arrow is aim point after 1322 open sights adjusted as much as they allow for windage. Bag rested. Just because the first attempt at standing made a shot gun pattern at 40m look tight. Target not the offical because dont have printer and frankly don't expect to do that great. Still 1322 has promise if i can master it. Only about 50 shots on barrel so may be leading in still Not sure if its ten or 11 shots. im putting it down to my shooting pistol👍
