I've got just one little query....
I'm intending to use my little Webley Junior for this comp, with an FT beanbag as a table-top rest. However, my hand extends below the base of the grip, and would therefore touch the rest. Am I permitted to extend the grip to be forward of the rest but with the muzzle still 6yds or more from the target. This would be with my shooting fore-arm only touching the rest.
ps.. do I get an extre half-point for using a non-rifled barrel

Its such a tiny pistol that it would be impractical to rest the forward part of it on a beanbag of this large size. If its mandatory for the pistol to touch the rest, then I'll use a smaller/firmer alternative type of rest. It would have to touch the rest forward of the trigger because the whole grip is smaller than my hand.
I chose the Junior as it is the only one I possess that is older than me (57), and thought it would be nice to use it in a competition. Sorry to be awkward.

Yes, I think so and ready for a December launch.
I would suggest adding something about the distance.
For standing, the shooters feet must of course be behind the line. As such, I'd suggest the shooters elbow must be behind the line.
We also need to decide 1 target sheet (10 shots) or 2.
I was thinking the round lasts a full calendar month to give everybody time to shoot.
Kind regards,
Phil

I've finished the rules, quite simple really, and just need to tweak the target, then we can get going.
Hopefully, I'll get them uploaded tomorrow.
This will be in the competitions area though, not here.
I am proposing a calendar month in which to shoot the comp.
To keep everything consistent, I am thinking 6 rounds per season.
Kind regards,
Phil
