Thought this might be useful to the many of us who struggle with the 10 metre distance.
They have their own dedicated targets if you're a bit more serious. But i find it's more manageable than the longer distances and many can find at least 6 yards to shoot somewhere in their house/garden.

Shot this offering yesterday mainly to keep the parts moving on the pistol but I hadn't had a try in a while.

6 yards, 10 shots, standing, one handed, offhand, FWB80 semi recoiless pistol.

6 yards is a great choice for indoors.
I currently shoot with a laser stuffed down my barrel and an electronic target 5 meter away watching my progress on my iPad or phone.

Works brilliantly. No pellets. No noise.
I plan to write an article about it.

Currently use it with a Feinwerkbau P8X. However, it works well with a Pardini K12, Walther LP500 and LP400.

Also, was it expensive?

Being able to shoot inside without freaking my dog out/ chance of a kid getting one in the back of the head is appealing… cost of pellet saving will slowly off set it

Does it sense the hammer vibration/trigger release? I like it!

What brand is it? 🤔

Yes. It senses the hammer vibration which fires the laser.
I have owned it for 3 months.

Accurize.


Under £400 for all you need for one discipline. Extra targets are about £23 each.

You might need a good torch or two as target is not illuminated.

I use two Makita LED torches. But upstairs landing range is a bit dark. Others might not need any additional light.
It’s a case of finding what works best.

Current challenge is shooting on carpet with carpet slippers on.
All things you don’t really think about until you start shooting.

Hi all! 👋 I realised that the old 10m Pistol shooting thread that kind of ran alongside the 10m Friendly Pistol Comp, where we all discussed anything and everything 10m pistol related and threw around the banter was missing so... let's get it running again (y) Opening question from me to get...
