Hey George,How are those Miester pellets doing in your S.E.? About the first S. E. match, There are a set of 5 meter pistol match rules elsewhere on this site. George, I think you are a good choice to over see the match. Since it is a S. E. match only, there will not be a lot of folks competing. I would recommend that we post our targets on a "S. E. Match" thread. and send a larger copy of the target to whom is officiating the match. I'm certainly not an expert on posting photos on this site, but mine have had to be low pixel to post, lower that can be easily scored. BTW, when we post our targets, we should have scored them ourselves, and have the header filled out. This way we all get to see the targets and scores.It is not my desire to design this match or control it, I just want to see it go forward. I was hoping that there might be some discussion and group consent. Before anyone asks, "I do not want to oversee this match." My goal is to shoot competitively. I really appreciate Eric sponsoring this match. Eric feels that he hasn't the time to officiate the match, hopefully one of you will step up and volunteer. BobH.
George, if you're gonna die, just hurry up and do it. It would have to be better than the last month...lol.Whoever does this will be teaching us all. This will be a select group of pretty reasonable folks (after all, they bought total sleepers). I figure we can forgive the first official anything... then hang the second at the slightest provocation.I'll take my turn as soon as I can do it right.
OK... I'll try, but you'll have to sit veeewy still.
Bad news... the trajectory needed will pass orbit... and it will just wander off into space.Can anyone closer help poor George out here?
Guys, Mike is now offering 17s, both SEs and inspected stockers, on his site. I have some unsolicited (by anyone) advice for you.If an SE is a bit rich for your purposes, I highly recommend you buy a stocker from Mike. I have handled many 17s now, and can tell you that a substandard pistol can almost always be discovered within a few shots. The direct tactile connection to the power plant allows you to feel any anomalies that can't be heard. The current 17s are better than the old ones, but if you plan to make one a gift... putting it in Mike's hands, first, could make all the difference in the experience.

I am fairly new to the site and have no idea who Mike is or what his site is. Who is he? PM me if needed. Thanks! I'm enjoying my stock so far P17. Nice little weapon

It should work well for you. Did you go for the Stage I?

Did you go for the Stage I?Ordering the FDAR entry Level one and then will perform all of my own modifications and improvements. This will be my very first Air-Gun to do such projects with and I cannot wait!What Mike does to the $55.00 one is great and will get me by until I can get working on it myself.The UTG RED-DOT SIGHT that I bought specifically for use on the Flying Dragon P17 is on the way.I will send Mike a check for the P17 on the 29th!Man, there are soooooooo many up-grades and modifications you can do with this P17, it has got my head spinning, which is a great thing! When I start working on it, you'll know, ha! ha! As you will be hearing a lot from me for advice!Respectfully,Al.

I checked it out, it is the single dot, not the dot within a circle. I have the latter, and it just does not work well because the circle is too much. The next one i buy will be the one you did. Great sight and a great value.
