I didn't do as well with my chosen gun as I would have liked, so am intending to change for the next round.
My Gamo Compact is calling, then so are my Originals.
The emphasis, as has been mentioned a few times, is on fun and enjoyment.
The "committee" will review the results after month two, and make a decision on divisions.
Around half the shooters have submitted their scores, so far, and there is quite a difference between the highest and the lowest, so some balance is required.
Kind regards,
Phil

Only a couple of days left now for Round 1.
We are supposed to be in for several days of sunshine, so abandon the gardening, and get shooting.
Kind regards,
Phil

I think emailing the results put most of them off.
There are only so many targets you can staple to a carrier pigeon before they go off course.
Kind regards,

We have another entrant here too - my mate Jim.
He was going to shoot his June cards this weekend so we may have got off to a slow start but we have some really dedicated shooters on board here.

Just sent in my round 2 scores.
Seemed to do a little better, but still in no danger of bothering those at the top of the scale!
I think I'll be in my own group - see if I can improve with every round.
I need to work on my concentration, the best cards are numbers 1-3 then Iose it for 4 and 5 before shooting a good card at the end.
Plus I missed the target totally this time!!!! Although I did get an all black round so I'm quite happy with this.
Can't wait to see the results.

The 6 yard competition is a very interesting one, in that people who struggle with 10m think they will dramatically improve at 6 yards.
The reality seems to be that whatever shooters tend to score at 10m, then they also score at 6 yards.
I know my scores are actually down on the 6 yards, when compared with 10m.
Kind regards,
Phil

I have never shot at ten yards, but I am surprised that I should be able to expect the same (ish) score as at six yards.
Both single handed?
I must see how far my garage is end to end, I might be able to squeeze 9 and a bit yards out of it!
Might try to shoot round 3 this weekend.
Try out my new methods of concentration for all targets. Not sure if I can wear a tutu and heels at the final though

Single handed only, as are all proper competitions.
All abilities are welcome, and the division system will give everybody a chance.
Kind regards,
Phil
