Lets see those deadeyes out there.

I'll start.

I ran about 100 pellets through my Walther this afternoon. I'm still getting used to this gun, but my shooting is improving.

Each mag holds eight shots, so I used one mag per target and got through 12 or so targets and a couple of CO2 powerlets.

These are about the best of my afternoon. For some reason, I always seem to get at least one flyer per mag - though it's my shooting, not the gun. I usually get the flyer just when I think I'm going to get a nice group. I panic a bit and snatch a shot.

Anyway, here's my best today. They were shot at 6.5 metres, freestyle standing. By that I mean using two hands, no rests or anything and standing up.





The next one is my best target of the day. Aside from one flyer in the 6 ring, all the other 7 shots were inside the 9 ring and check out that bull.



(the observant among you will notice the target doesnt look quite the same as the one in the first post, that's cos these were an earlier version. I had a load of em printed off so I reakon I'd use em up. They are exactly the same scale as the targets in the first post though.)

I'd love to play but have nowhere to shoot and no scanner my back garden is big enough for a short range but I wont shoot there for fear of upsetting my neighbours who have enough to put up with from my forging!

[Martyn]

Oh, go on, go for it in yer garden.

A cautionary note. I just decided to measure out accurately my pistol range (backstop to footplate) and I've been shooting from 7.4 metres.

So, dont guess it, measure it.

[Ophidian]

Hmmmm, pistol shooting… can I use my .44 cal B.P. Revolver ?

(yes I do have FAC & SGC)

[Jason_01]

Sorry, I know this doesnt comply with the rules......

50 rounds through a .45 semi auto, range varies from 15m down to 5m, emptying the clip as quickly as I could pull the trigger as it was probably the one and only time I'll ever get to shoot one of those scary beasts



Not quite olympic standard

Mibbys no, but it sure looks like fun!

[Rickman]

How about a thread for airifles too? I would have thought that more people would own rifles. Well, I do anyway

Or should we just post rifle target pictures here?

I was grinning from ear to ear

SWMBO was going to have a go but changed her mind after I'd fired the first one and ran off to somewhere quieter

I wonder if we could arrange a target shooting meet up for air rifles/pistols? I rarely get to use mine but it would be cool to have a small informal gathering outside of the usual FT clubs. I guess finding land and liability might be an issue though.

Hell, why not - if .45 ACP gets a look in, why not rifles too.

Though I think with modern PCP's and a good scope, all we'll be seeing is a single raggy hole at anything less than 30 yards. The thing with these plinking pistols, they are so much fun because they actually put the skill back into it. It's actually quite hard to get groups under 2" at 6.5 meters.

Even though there may be more rifles than pistols, I doubt many have the ground to just pop outside and shoot 30 shots at 50 yards.

If there is enough interest I have a bit of land, 6 acre wood and 3.5 acre field.Situated near Clitheroe,Lancashire.

You know it's possible to go off people don't you














very VERY jealous

[mojofilter]

It would be very nice indeed!

[mojofilter]

I can just imagine the tabloids getting a few pics of us having a meetup to do a bit of shooting in the woods, armed to the teeth with rifles, pistols and knives

The RAFs finest would probably be overhead in jig time to wipe out the suspected "terrorist training camp"

I would have liked to go, but its a bit far

Where did you get to play with that?
HMG stole mine
