Bell target shooting.

#1 Post by Alpha1 »

The forum I used to visit apparently now lives here on full bore UK.

Any way I run the underlever night on a Tuesday evening at my local club. I am on A range and the air rifles etc are on B range. The underlever seems to have died a death due to Covid. So I have been shutting up shop early and popping into B range were they are shooting among other things bell targets.
Air rifles are not some thing I am familiar with but this bell target thing is interesting. I have had a go with members borrowed guns.

My question is can any one recommend a not to expensive springer for a first gun to compete with.

And does any one know where the forum went.? I know Christel post the comp results here but what ever happened to the forum.

I think it is just the results posted here that exists now.

Bell Target is great fun and really hones your off-hand skills. I just wish I had more time to shoot a couple of rounds every now and again, since lock down ended the range has been busy and I hardly get a look in.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.

This is the forum now.

I am shooting an 'original 66' so a traditional 1970s springer albeit recoilless ish. I would not even contemplate a modern PCP target rifle however Christel shoots one herself.

Nice but I think I might struggle to find one of those.

Well, Chris the landlord is keen and my brother has bought his own bell for £140, so he's keen. Graham who is organising it is serious about making it work. My problem is that I live 2 hours away.

It just needs people to turn up. Flier's have been sent out to at least one local shooting club and there is interest there.

I'm going so I just hope others turn up to support it and get it off the ground. :good:

Any of the above are good rifles for bell target and/or 6m/10m target shooting.

I wish them all well and hope that it is a success for all concerned.

Look forward to a report and photographs of the proceedings in due course.
