A rough diamond is still a diamond nontheless.  :D

Again,  all good points.

I'll finish off the target,  and get it circulated for trials.

Kind regards,

Refinement eeek i'm lower deck scum, M.

[Rincewind]

Great idea Phil. Will it be an 'elbows on the table while sitting' type or just with the pistol supported?  Apologies if I am being a bit fussy.

I am warming to sitting, certainly allows all abilities to take part.

I have a "fat bag" which is a great benchrest bag.  A one handed pistol rests perfectly in the V of this, but I think one handed rested is all that needs to be said.

Shooters can then adopt whatever they feel is best.

I'll post some pictures of how I would shoot,  for ideas.

Kind regards,



Phil

[Ian]

Sounds interesting - never tried this before, only shot standing unsupported one or two handed

I will look on the net for a suitable rest

[Plinkit]

I've only ever shot standing unsupported too. So do you support the hand, arm or the pistol?

[Ian]

The more I think about this bench rest thing the more I am intrigued

Just been reading this - it relates mainly to cartridge pistols but some of it may be useful

I hold the pistol as normal,  then rest my hand,  so its a bit of both, depending upon which rest is chosen.

Do a net search for Fat Bag and you'll see mine.

Kind regards,

I'm sure Mrs pmh would not appreciate the name calling (shame on you)  :shock:

I will however do some net searches for benchrest equipment.

Well found there Ian.

Odd name indeed.  :D

Thats the chap. I filled my with bean bag fill, and it's perfect.

Trouble is, out of a 3ft bag of the stuff, I still have most of it left, so if anybody needs any fill, I have plenty left.

Well, I finished the trial target, just needs a few lines for date, etc, but here it is if anybody fancies a go, the target is >>Here<<.

1 shot at each roundel, 10 shots in total.

Highest score is 10, but you score a bonus 0.5 if you completely obliterate the very small centre circle, which then makes the total possible for each roundel 10.5

I would be grateful for feed back.

Kind regards,



Phil

Looks good Phil - I will print a couple off tomorrow and have a go with an improvised rest - probably a couple of cushions!
