Shoot whatever Vintage Pumper Pistol, Modern Pumper Pistol, or Vintage Everything Else Pistol (see below) that you want at 5M (more or less depending on what you have available).
Pistols only. Any type/style/barrel length but must not have a shoulder stock.
Distance: 5 Meters (16 feet, 5 inches). The shooter should not be over the "Firing Line"....his/her foot or feet should just touch the firing line/paint and not on it. The arm or arms and pistol can be over the firing line.
3 shots @ 5 Bulls. - Max Score 150
Shots are scored according to the highest value of the target scoring zone or ring that is touched by a circle centered over the shot with a diameter equal to your pellet caliber. A scoring gauge or the head of a wadcutter pellet comes in handy for this (the pellet skirt may be too large). If any part of a scoring ring (demarcation line between the scoring zones) is touched by the circle, including even the outside edge of the scoring ring line, the shot is scored the higher value of the two scoring zones. In order to score an "X," the entire circle must remain within the 10 ring (this exception only affects calibers larger than 177).
Any sighting device is fine.
Standing unsupported, one or two hand only, no rests of any kind. Seated is permitted only if you are unable to stand.
Classes are:
• Vintage Pumper Pistol (VP) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1985)
• Modern Pumper Pistol (MP) (Manufactured after 1984)
• Vintage Everything Else Pistol (VEE) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1985)
Divisions are One Handed and Two Handed.
Unlike the regular 5M match, multiple entries may be made in each class as long as the pistols are substantially different. the same pistol may be entered in both the one handed and two handed divisions. I’m sure that this will cause some confusion. We’ll work it out as we go along. The object of this match is to have fun and show off our pumpers and vintage pistols.
If possible, please turn in a scan or picture of the target. If you want to show off your pistol, then please include a picture. Please note, that a scan or picture of the target or gun is optional.
Target due date is Sunday, April 1, 2018.

Division (One Handed or Two Handed)

Any of the targets from the regular “Rules & Targets for the 5M Pistol Match are acceptable. These targets may be found at https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114750.0 (https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114750.0)
The 5M “Ink Saver” target is linked below.
I’ll post entries to an excel spreadsheet and sort by class. If we get enough entries, then I post a 2nd spreadsheet sorted by make and model.
Shoot safe and have fun,
Jim
