Right, we’ve drunk the champagne, curried the leftover turkey, finished off the mince pies and now it’s time to welcome 2025.
To help get us into the new year I would like to formally invite you all to:
** The January 2025, Slightly Official, Informal, 6 Yard Pistol Shooting Competition! **
I’m going to stick with the rules from the November competition as they seemed to work well.
The competition is over 6 yards, using official NSRA 6yd targets. Home printed versions of the targets are acceptable, but please check the sizing of the target. The black section of the target should measure just under 31mm in diameter (30.89mm to be precise!). I’ve attached a .pdf version below for printing on the back of a standard 17cm target, but there are other versions available on the “6 yard Air Pistol” thread.
There are three categories in the competition:
- One handed unsupported
- Two handed unsupported
- Rested (this can be standing or sitting, resting on anything really).
There will be a winner for each category and you can enter all three if you fancy it!
I’m going to recommended that you shoot two targets of five shots each for reliable scoring.
To keep scoring and record-keeping straightforwards, please submit your entry with a photo of your target/s with the below information, and don't forget to show off your pistol.
- Username
- Pistol type and model
- One-handed, two-handed or rested
- Score
To keep everyone’s interest up during the month, I’m going to allow each member to submit up to 4 cards during the month for each category. That way you can keep shooting and not worry that you might get a better score later in the month. I will use the highest score of the 4 to determine the winners and I will tot up the scores and make the announcement on or about February 1st.
Any questions, give me a shout but remember that this is all just a bit of fun to get us shooting. There are no prizes other than bragging rights. The competition opens from 00:01 on Jan 1st, so get shooting and let’s see your cards!
