Well done Andrew.
I've been shooting 10m air for a few years now. I have never shot in a match, and just as well cause I have only got 500 once. Didn't help starting shooting 10 meter late in life ( I'll be 59 in a few weeks ).

Always enjoy your shooting. I do

Very nice, I'd like to try a competition shoot but I don't have the money to spend on a super accurate gun like a Beeman. I could do mid-range shooting with my Diana (like 30 meteres) though because I can hit like 1.5cm groups at that range off a bench. With some practice I could do good standing or crouching, my degree of accuracy in those is just enough to hit a squirrel.

Well done Andrew. The FWB 300 might be an older rifle, but they work well. 8)

Have you ever had a crack at air rifle silhouette? The FWB should have enough grunt to do it, and with your 10m score, you should do pretty well. You may just have to talk to Lewis about pellet choice.

Best of luck for future comps.

regards, curan

Ah Andrew, you gotta find somewhere around you that shoots an AR silhouette match!

It is great fun........even with those microscopic targets :lol:

Enjoy your sport mate, and I hope a couple of our Vic AV members can give you some hints on where you can go to knock over some sillywets. Mind you, with those 10m scores, they might be scared you're gonna show them up!! :wink:
