That would resemble a mass cetacean stranding in our range!

Quick question about entering scores. Do we enter the actual score, e.g. 80, or the number off, i.e. 20?

Right, I had a brainwave and remembered that the LSR shooters at another club that uses our range shoot on PL14s, so I've secured enough of them from their secretary to do this comp.

The PL15 has the same size aiming mark as the PL14, it's just that all of the rings are bigger on the PL15.

Ah, right. Well, I haven't got any PL14s, and I'm not going to pay NSRA shop prices for a pack I won't use anywhere else!

I believe that the PL-15 is the an incorrect target. The PL-14 fits the ratio of ten ring diameter to distance when compared to the NRA targets listed in the match rules. It doesn't really matter much to me but you might want to check it yourself before you decide. Dan, we discussed this further up...

I'll stick with my original plan of shooting on PL15s at 20 yards. I'm looking forward to getting started!

Did we agree in the end on 30 shots for this Kick-Off league? The details page says 6 x 10.

OK, I'm happy with whatever the majority chooses.

I'm not sure the larger bullet hole relative to the scoring ring of a scaled-down target really conveys much of an advantage. At least, not in my case!

Yes, I'm good for a monthly 60-shot match, starting if possible in January. Should we standardise the distance? There might be something to be said for limiting distance to 20 yards or 25 metres, so everyone can shoot indoors at a more or less similar distance. Having just got home from my first pro...

Twenty (or maybe thirty) would be more manageable for me, on top of a heavy league stint already; twenty is the norm for a round of a medium range pistol league here, and this is not the only one I'm in by a long way!

Ex 600 each week on top of my winter league shooting? Wow!

I'll manage it somehow...

Matt, what's the number of shots per week for the free pistol section? Ten, on a target appropriate to the distance?

Welcome!

Thanks, Matt. I saw that, and I'm happy!

Welcome!

Great. Thanks, Alissa. I look forward to recovering my nationality!

Thanks, Matt. I'm signed up, as you saw. But your system is a bit weird. It refuses to believe I'm not American. I change my country to UK, save my profile, but no little flag, and when I go back to my profile, it's changed my country to US. There aren't many of us, so I'd quite like to "fly th...

Fortunately, the English Whisky Co is just up the road from here.

I recommend whisky, whatever the exchange rate!
