Spaniel Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 not bad at all, i was surprised at all the gear they were wearing, i guess it is all about H&S Also watched the archery this morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southeastpete Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Am i alone in thinking whats the point? From a forum of people alot of whom regularly shoot air rifles at ranges up 50 or so yards, surely these competitors would have the latest guns and sights, and at 10m, there would just be a hairs breadth in it? Then again I didnt manage to catch it, so i may be missing something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a forum of people alot of whom regularly shoot air rifles at ranges up 50 or so yards, Yep, but usually prone, off a bipod, through a scope. Try standing and shooting at a bull smaller than a .177 pellet though iron sights Edit: Just googled it. The 10 spot is half a millimetre across.

southeastpete Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Yea, I decided to youtube it, and saw they were standing. Still, there was hardly anything in it, personally id prefer to see longer range shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 It's impressive but boring there is 50m comp but men only ? The gear is a bit OTT but all in the rules it's a precision sport. Are the pistols pistols? Or laser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ought to learn to blink, unless they've had their eyelids removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
