davehiscockplumb Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi all, Hope all is well at PW. I have just got hold of a cp88, and no little about the pistol target shooting religion... Just seeing if anyone knows of any clubs where I could see how bad I am at pistol shooting Not sure on back garden shooting with a pistol? I have a 60ft x 60ft garden, with a huge backstop, but again not wanting to break any laws or upset any neighbours. Can anyone shed some light on this for me... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 No problems with shooting this in your garden as long as you don`t cause a nuisance, no pellets leave your boundary, etc etc, common sense stuff really, if you have direct neighbours maybe let them know what you are up to. These Co2 pistols are really only good for shooting very close range paper or cans, temperature also has a big effect on accuracy and power which is around 1.5 to 2 ft/lb, although I have seen a six inch barreled CP 88 knock a can over at 100 yards must have been a very lucky shot .

Livefast123 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Back in the day I had 2 CP88s, a black one and a nickel one. Nice pistols and good fun but as has already been said, don't expect to get much power or range out of them. They are ideal for attic or back garden plinking. If you have neighbours that can see into your garden I would let them know what you are doing and maybe consider getting a silencer if the noise is going to pee the neigbours off. You can try here, they are an online club that does postal league comps etc and loads of advice to be had. http://umarexboysclubforum.myfineforum.org/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davehiscockplumb Posted January 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Quality !! Loving the cp88. I am looking into wooden grips and adjustable rear sights, just can not find anyone who sells them tho ! Been a great laugh with a friend of mine, making up competitions and destroying cans!! Great bit of fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 The wood grips were going for around £50 per set, new from Uttings some time back, not sure if anyone other than Umarex do the sights but they discontinued the adjustable ones a few years back, the do come up sometimes in the second hand market but usually go for a lot of money.
