Had a fun competition at the club today. Round 1 was with 10m pistol and some silly targets (small pictures of Santa etc), two points for a perfect shot, one for a more marginal hit. I managed a pretty poor 13x40, though I should say that this was on the higher end of the score chart. My mate, who shoots at a pretty high competition standard managed a much better 22x40, despite opting to shoot with a Crosman 2240.Round 2 was up at the HFT course; 20 targets, kneeling or standing depending on personal preference. I have to say I had a pretty bloody good round at this coming back with 33x40. That beat a good few PCP shooters and was the top score with a spring rifle. Combined scores put me in 5th place out of about 20 shooters. Anyway, the main aim was to have fun and in that regard it was a total success.

It's always fun watching people struggle to get parked 37x60 under the circumstances isn't a bad result G,though I'm surprised you were allowed to share the gun. It's a pain the HW98 being over the limit...was it on pellet weight? Or was it simply over sprung?As to the HW35,if worst comes to worst,look at sending it to Hull Cartridge for a full service
Not gotten around to fully stripping the HW35, but I have flushed the barrel articulation with gun oil and I definitively think I'm in the right area as it's markedly better. I think it may be as simple as a rougue bit of crud or grease has gotten into the lock receiver. However, while it's not too fiddly taking a HW35 apart putting it back together can be a very different story.
Here's an interesting alternative to UKHFT: http://www.uksarc.co.uk/rules/There's plan to run 3 or 4 of these comps up here in Scotland with, I believe, slight tweaks to those rules. So no preset positional shots, no peg to hang on to, smaller targets with more realistically placed kill zones, and longer ranges. The idea as I understand it is to make you think if it's worth going for a risky 2 points with a chance of a total miss or play it safe and go for the single point.

Well, I got to shoot a competition under the SARCs rules and have to say it's a very fun format. Interesting to see different shooters tackling the same shots in different ways. Even better I won my class with a 42x60. Given the highest score was a 47x60 I'm pretty happy with my shooting.
