HEAR YE! HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

Spread the Word far and wide

The inaugural Vintage Pumper, Modern Pumper, and Vintage Everything Else Casual Match 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.

Rules are the same as for the 50’ Casual Match, except as noted below. Distance is 10M instead of 50’, using the 50’ target of choice. If you are like me and limited to distance, shoot at whatever distance you have available.

Classes are:
•   Vintage Pumper (VP) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1985)
•   Modern Pumper (MP) (Manufactured after 1984)
•   Vintage Everything Else (VEE) (as defined in the Vintage Gate – manufactured pre-1985)

Unlike the regular casual match, multiple entries may be made in each class as long as the air rifles are substantially different. For example, all Sheridan Series C Streaks (Blue or Silver) manufactured prior to 1985 would be considered to be substantially the same and only one Series C entry would be allowed. However, if you a Super Grade and a Series C, an entry may be made for each gun. A Sheridan and a Benjamin would be different air rifles even if in the same class. 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 out pumpers and vintage guns.

If possible, please turn in a scan or picture of the target. If you want to show off your gun, then please include a picture. Please note, that a scan or picture of the target or gun is optional.

Target due date is Sunday, February 4, 2018.

The 50’ rules and targets may be found at:

http://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=114644.0

Please include the following information with your entry:

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

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

This is GREAT jim.
Thank you very much for taking me up on my suggestion. BUT YOU took it the next level!
I was hoping for a Pumper class added to the already established Casual 10M but your idea for a separate Match, divided into these three Classes is OVER THE TOP!!!

I can shoot my Sheridan C, Benji 342, even my 312 in Vintage (VP) ... My 392P, Sheridan C9 and my newest 392 in another (MP)... and my 160 in the everything else (VEE).

I think I am gonna have a right arm that looks like Popeye's

Scott,

Spread the word. Let's drum up some friendly competition.

15 minutes with my Sheridan Blue Streak and my shoulder is killing me (rotator cuff problem). I'm going to have to talk my daughter into be my "pumping assistant."

Does you 300s classify as vintage?

Jim

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #3 on:** January 21, 2018, 07:13:10 PM »

Oh, yeah... 1980

But I am gonna keep using that over in the original "Jumper" class. The whole thought process I had was to get this rolling was for "other" guns that I simply could not compete with there.

You have mentored me over there last couple years there, and watched me progress up the ranks.
This is my way of trying to get more members involved in the Matches with what they have interest in... Vintage and Pumpers!
I started many threads in the various gates, as you know, and I am thankful the Mods did not see them as redundant and "Clean House".

Tomorrow I will try and get some shots in!

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #4 on:** January 21, 2018, 07:17:23 PM »

Bummer about the rotator cuff.... Think of this as Physical Therapy!
I am looking forward to the Cardio work out.

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #5 on:** January 21, 2018, 07:26:03 PM »

Great work gentalmen!!! I think the response will be great!!! Spread the word & let the games begin!!!

Dan's, 392's, 397's & shoot, I'll even give the 101 a go.

I posted links on the General Airgun gate, the Daisy Gate, the Crosman / Benji gate, and the Vintage gate.

EXCELLENT!!!

SlowWalker · « **Reply #8 on:** January 24, 2018, 01:53:14 PM »

I'm looking so forward to trying this...been a very long time since I've shot anything at all. This should be way fun! Thanks! for putting this together. Awesome!

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #9 on:** January 25, 2018, 07:03:01 PM »

Since I instigated this I shot a target tonight with my Crosman 160 in the VEE class as an example to all the newcomers.
If I take out the center totally it is an "X" (roman numeral 10) an it counts pointwise as a 10 but an "X" will beat a "10" that just touches the Dot .
Hope it scans OK. I use a red construction paper behind it to help show the holes.
And included a complimentary pic of the old Gal for bragging rights.

Here we go....

Call name: Hoosier Daddy
Class: VEE
Air rifle Make and Model: Crosman 160
Sighting system: S331 peep
Pellet and caliber: JSB .22 15.89 Exact
Shooting position : Bench with 2 bag rest
Score: 179 / 2X

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #10 on:** January 25, 2018, 07:59:28 PM »

Scott, wouldn't your "X-10" be an "X-X"? Even though there is a hint of gray at the bottom? Are you sure the paper didn't rebound? I found that if I find the dead center entry point, place the pellet in that location, some of the paper remained. I think you sold yourself short on that one. I think the only way a person can get a clean hole is with a wad-cutter & just the right backing. Am I blowing smoke or do you concur?

...& the "9-8" next to the "X-10", shouldn't the 9 be a 10?

I guess I'm not too bright, but what class is my Baikal MP-523 in?.................

I’m not familiar with the Baikal MP-523. Am I correct in that it is a piston power plant with a side lever?

If yes and it is manufactured before 1985 then it goes in VEE. If after 1984, then it goes in the jumper class in the off season 10M class in the shooter gate. I don’t know how to post a link from my phone. I’ll try to post link when I get home

Jim

**Edit**
Oops. My bad. It looks like the MP-532 is an SSP and made post 1984 so it would go in the modern pumper class.

Atta Boy Marty!!!

Ever hear the saying "Be careful what you wish for...it just might come true"
Well that is me right about now!
This @$%^ is TOUGH with a Pumper!
I learned my 342 shoots better than my prized C Sheridan... and my C9 'Dan needs a rebuild.... Even the '15 Benji 392 with a 4X32 scope is a challenge.
2nd night in a row trying to shoot a decent target with pumpers.... the wife wants to have me committed.

Oh what fun!!!!

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #15 on:** January 26, 2018, 07:55:17 PM »

Glad I'm not the only one Scott.

I thought this would be a cake walk. Been doing most of my shooting out to 40 yds. Man was I mistaken. Nail 1 row, then the 2nd not so good, the third even worse & forget about the 4th row. Took a while till I could judge the hold over/under. Hint, place the target on the horizontal & use the &^^& out of the 2 crosshairs.

Marty, couldn't you claim the same score with 5X by dropping your two 10-9's instead of your two 9-X's?

My first attempts this weekend were quite humbling .....with open sights on my Blue Streaks! May have to fix that and add some glass.

Yng@hrt · « **Reply #18 on:** January 29, 2018, 11:17:51 AM »

Thank you Arlan. I completely missed that.

I don't know how anyone can determine POI with open sites. A scope definately helps. I am currently trying to post up a series with my Crosman 101. Since I can not see the bulls-eye I am having to use the outer black rings as a guide by first zeroing in on the middle bulls with the target set on the horizontal. Then using the same outer black rings to try & judge hold under for both the bottom & top bulls. I am finding that the peep site on the 101 is taylor made for this type shooting. If your Dan is pre-tapped for a Williams I would highly recommend using one. If not, a scope works well.

Another noticable advantage with the 101 is the trigger (narrow & crisp). The Dan's trigger is also good but not as good as the 101 for this type shooting (in my opinion). On the other end of the spectrum is the Benji's trigger. 3 or 4 times larger/bulkier. Not ideal for this application. A while back Scott Decker metioned how good the 101 is. I'm beginning to understand why.
