Re: rule 6, does this mean you must only use one hand on your pistol or can you use a two hand grip.

Robw · Veteran Member

Rule 6- No rests. Are palm rests and pads excluded or should I remove
them?

They do feel somewhat of an unfair advantage sometimes.

Thanks for the reply. I just purchased a IZH 46m and hope to be competing soon, first I must make a left hand grip for the IZH but will have to wait till I get back up north as my time in the sunny south is coming to an end.

Any chance you could share some photos of your grip build when you do it?

Alright, here's my first entry. Shot with a Pardini K10 using RWS Hobby pellets, front of shooting hand at 5 metres from the target which was printed to 'fit page' on 8" x 11" paper - in draft mode, hence the pink; inkjet cartridges are expensive. Time of 8:09 total. I'm a lot shaky as I've hit the weights a couple of times this week, shifting training focus as I won't be shooting an IRL competition until August. So more 'flinging' of the pellets into the target than a focused trigger release since I can't really hold a small pink blob today... Still, it's either a 110 or a 120/140 depending on whether you count touching the line on target #9, the chip on the upper-right of the circle.

Thanks for hosting this! It's fun having extra excuses to bring match tension into AP practice. Too often I get bored with training so a little spice is great.

Nice job Gerard! For "a lot shaky" you sure put me in my place Smile

More psychedelic redness in the May challenge...
