Interested in competing w/ Crosman Air Pistol?

February 2010 Shooting Competition at CAPOF

The folks over at The Crosman Air Pistol Owners Forum http://www.crosman-air-pistol-owners-forum.com/ are having a shooting Competition. Obviously, it is Crosman Air guns that count.

It is a 5 Meter / 16.4 ft Competition, so it's not like you need a lot of room, just a good, safe place and safe backstop to shoot.

If you have a stocked 13xx/22xx air pistol, then you shoot it at 10M/32.8ft (or swap the stock for regular grips and shoot as a pistol, of course).

Honor system rules, and recommended method of taking picture of target is to put colored paper behind it when you scan/photograph it to upload for scoring purposes.

Well, I entered my Target in the February 2010 Competiton.


The Gun



It is just a factory stock 1377, nothing fancy. I've replaced the factory hammer spring w/ A. C. Custom spring/delrin guide and A. C. Custom Stainless breech screw.


The Target



5 Meter / 16.4 ft, 3 pellets per target, 12 pellets total, possible 120 points.

I tried making that gun work in competition, using a variety of pellets, up to Mesiterkugeln. It's simply not up to it, and the sights are atrocious and not click adjustable.

A far better solution for a low-end target pistol is the Daisy 717 or the Polish Predom.

Good luck!

I love postal target shoots. Too bad this one's limited to Crossman guns. I have an IZH 46M.

btw, to my eye, it looks like you nicked the 8-ring (lower left), in which case that score would be a 23 and you broke 100.

For me, it is reason to shoot an air pistol and enjoy shooting at a low cost vs shooting rimfire or centerfire at the indoor range which costs me $$$ every trigger pull. A tin of 500 pellets is minimal by comparison. I'm not exactly a competitive shooter, per se, so it's something different for me.

The sights could be upgraded if I swapped out to a steel breech and added the Williams adjustable like on the Co2 version in the link.

MrBorland,

It was a paper tear, not really nickin' the 8. Since I've been practising, I've learned to better score my targets (would usually score down, this one has taught me too look close and score up).


Kinda boils down to trigger work/practice and have fun in the process.

Don't know, but I can see that some make it shoot well enough for our little competition.
