I have stayed away from suggesting competitions on here, as the UBC covers most variations a shooter could wish for, and we don't exist to be in competition.
That said, I am aware that some shooters would like to take part, but injuries, medical conditions, etc, make it difficult for them to take part in most on offer.
One solution may be to run a 6 yard benchrest pistol comp.
This comp isn't run elsewhere, is at a distance we all have, and takes the strain off the shooter.
Any thoughts?
Kind regards,
Phil
Competitions
Sounds OK
I would recommend
> Standard target that can be downloaded or sent as an attachment over the tinternet
> Simple and brief rules
> Scores emailed in - honor system no need for witnesses and posting them in etc
> Dedicated thread with sticky at top containing table with results
Simple and fun - even if just a few of us join in at first

Simple is by far the best.
It is also the intention to make a competition that everybody can enter, and isn't already run somewhere else.
So, any suggestions are gratefully received.

:lol:I printed some samples out.
The 50mm dia one looks well proportioned, though I may settle on 55mm for the final size.
I was thinking an A4 landscape with two faces, each face having 5 targets set out in the traditional dice shape.
One shot at each target, upward scoring.
If the very inner circle gets completely obliterated, then this scores 10.5, otherwise it's 10 for the highest.
I suggest 10 shots, one at each target, scoring a maximum of 105.
As it is benchrest, then I suggest one handed only.
I hope to post a sample target shortly, for comment.
Anybody not having a suitable classic pistol, then this is the perfect ex use and justification.
We do, of course, need to specify pistols.
I would like to see spring only, open sights, but am open to consensus of opinion.
Kind regards,

If it's about joining in and having a bit of fun I wouldn't start restricting who can join in. Just bung a target out there and let the guys shoot. Refinement can come with time.Ian:315 wrote:Sounds good Phil
Recoiling spring only? Something like an FWB65 would have a bit of an advantage over my Webley!
And what about caliber? It would be nice if .22 were allowed!
Not that its of earth shattering importance of course - its about joining in and having a bit of fun
