Some 10m air pistol practise

Completed the 60-shot NSRA/Eley 10m air pistol competition on 19th November in a rushed session at the Club. Done as 10 cards with 4 shots on each, the best card returned a 35.1 and the worst a 28, for competition stats of 315.3 ex 400, with and average of 78.83 and a standard deviation of 2.65 (the lower this number, the more consistent the shooting) .

The end of November saw the start of the winter season for the Hendon League 10m air pistol competition. With a submitted average of 77.33, completed the round one six cards with 30-shots in total, with a 234 ex 300 and an average of 78.0 and a standard deviation of 2.77, so slightly up on average but with a worse standard deviation.The worst card was the first to be shot, with a 34.0 ex 40. The best was a 43.0

In order to avoid the Christmas range closures, took the opportunity the following available range session, to shoot round two of the Hendon League 10m air pistol competition. Finished the round with a 238 ex 300 and an average of 79.33, up on the round one results. The standard deviation was 1.60, showing a more consistent shoot, even though the session was rushed, and the range VERY cold at only 9degC. The worst card was the first to be shot, with a 37.0 ex 40. The best was a 42.0

Beginning of December took advantage of some quiet time at home to shoot an ex-200 practise on two cards. Shot an 86.0 followed by an 85.0 for an average of 85.5 and a standard deviation of 0.05

All in all a very good little session. I'm very happy with the 6-shot grouping on the last card, although I've since dropped the rear-sight on the Steyr LP10 two clicks, ready for the next session. Hopefully I can shortly get my running average up over 80.0 and my standard deviation consistently below 2.0!

Overall my air pistol stats are now as follows:
