Last month I took part in another target shooting competition, I ended up winning 3 sections, the 10yard scoped PCP pistol, the 25 yard springer rifle and the 25 yard PCP rifle. I'm also pleased that my scores have improved in the last year and extremely pleased to have produced a maximum score with the pcp rifle. #airrifle #benchrest
New #Documentation: Resolving a leak on a #HW100 air rifle
My #airrifle developed a leak which meant that it couldn't hold pressure over time. This risked allowing moisture ingress.
So, just as I would with almost anything else... I took it apart to repair it.

Could have gone better for me. That 8.8 cost me a lot.
Congratulations to Mike Bargeron who has won a #GBR quota to the #Paris2024 #Olympics in Rio. The first male Brit to win a rifle quota since Jon Hammond in 2008. This quota for 3P will also allow him a start in the Men’s Air Rifle and to partner Seonaid McIntosh in the Air Rifle Mixed Pairs match. #teamgb #sport #targetsport #shooting #rifle #airrifle #ISSF #rio

Paul Watkiss had a stand-up weekend, finishing fourth in the open Air Pistol event at the third installment of British Shooting’s Air Series at Aldersley, near Wolverhampton.
Shooting on Saturday, Paul managed 561, topping Relay 2. On Sunday morning he improved on that with a 562 in Relay 4. Both these scores were good enough to qualify Paul for the 8-athlete final. Starting with a wobble he placed 6th after the first string. Regrouping however, he climbed to fifth after the second string and fourth after his 12th shot. Further steady shooting saw him climb in to bronze medal position, but a robust response from Charlotte Hicks over her last four shots saw her climb past Paul and Ayush Chauhan into silver medal position, pushing Ayush in Bronze and Paul just out the medals.
In the Air Rifle, Bill Clark, Izzy Ward and Nathan Clark all put in strong performances. Bill managed third and 5th in his two relays, Izzy placed 5th and 3rd, whilst Nathan placed 6th in his relay. Their best results put Bill 13th overall, Izzy 15th and Nathan 19th. Congratulations to all.

I had a rare afternoon of R&R today, and the first chance I've had to get pellets down my #airrifle since my youngest was born... seven years ago. Happy with the result!
