Is that after spilling the first 400 pellets?

Has anyone observed a difference between the Pardini SP mechanical trigger versus the electronic trigger?

Or take 'em a pickup-truck-load of used catalytic converters . . . then use those proceeds to buy a few tins of pellets & some hooch.

Re: Too much fun!

Now accepting recommendations for SOUNDTRACKS for 75-minute match (now that Village People has been banned.)

I'd start with Paint It Black by the 'Stones, for the 15-minute sight-in period; then progressively get more edgy from there . . . .

So now: The number of shots fired will be 10, plus 5, in initial round (then a break where you cool off & get clumsy), then another 10 shots (a break), then another 5 shots, (yet another break), then make the "Gold Medal round." Then, you shoot AT LEAST another 8 shots (2pts best; winn...
