Dang, sorry for the short notice....My bad. I overlooked the Vintage match in the previous update.
I need to keep the ending dates the same to stay on track so next rounds will line up with the others.... Shoot what you can!
Come one, Come all!
Vintage Pumper, Modern Pumper, and Vintage Everything Else Casual Match #1 is open for business. The Casual Match is a fun match. Shoot whatever Vintage Pumper, Modern Pumper, or Vintage Everything Else gun (see below) that you want at 10M (more or less depending on what you have available), use any position, rest or optic that you prefer. See below for the details.
Because this is a relatively new match started late last season, with hopefully New members not familiar, detailed rules are below so we don’t have to keep referring to the 50’ Casual rules (mostly copied from the 50' Casual rules).
Remember, this is the "honor system" and the object is to have fun.
Rules:
- Distance is 10M. If you are limited to distance, shoot at whatever distance you have available.
- Any position you like including bench rest, prone, sitting, kneeling, mono pod, bi pod, etc...
- Any scope or open sights, red dot, shooting from the hip, whatever…
- Targets are the same as for the regular 50’ Casual Match and can be found at http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114644.0 (http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114644.0)
Classes are:
• Vintage Pumper (VP) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1993)
• Modern Pumper (MP) (Manufactured after 1992)
• Vintage Everything Else (VEE) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1993)
Please turn in a scan or picture of the scored, dated target. If you want to show off your gun, then by all means, include a picture of it too.
Target due date is Sunday, December 16th, 2018.
Please include the following information with your entry (The best way is to copy the info below and paste it back in to your reply):
Call name or real name
Class (VP, MP, VEE)
Air rifle or Pistol Make and Model (e.g., Sheridan Super Grade)
Sighting system
Pellet and caliber
Shooting position and/or aid(s)
Score
Shoot straight, be safe and have FUN!

Thanks for the running the match, Scott!
DanD
VEE
Webley Vulcan Mk1 (1979-81?)
3-9x32ao generic (4 for $80 ebay) scope at 9x
JSB 8.44 .177 @690fps
Seated with font rest and hand under gun
186/200 - 0x
10.7 yards to target
Factory single stage trigger stoned with lighter spring 1lb 14oz avg pull (but a bit creepy)
I keep thinking about cutting 4 inches off the barrel since it seems to have a consistent taper, then gets looser over those last 4 inches... I'm hesitant to chop an out of production classic, though.
I want to shoot these casual target matches with the guns I consider to be accurate so I can see how they actually shoot compared to how I think they shoot. This one only scored 1 point lower than my vintage HW50 which has a far superior trigger.

Thanks for participating Dan,
I got match #3 up now, hoping for a better turn out with the correct amount of time this next go around.
