On a glorious morning (13degC, no clouds, no wind), went to the Club and shot rounds 6 and 7 of the West Kent Rifle League's (WKRL) 10m Individual Air Pistol competition.
Card 6 was just below average, shots grouping slightly high and left. For card 7 things improved dramatically! Initially all shots were inside the 8-ring, with the 9th shot being an almost central V-bull. The excitement got to me and I rushed the 10th shot for a very disappointing (and missing the black) hole 'touching' the 6-ring (it's dodgy though and might gauge out as a 5).

With the card 7 score being so much higher than my average, it actually worsened my running standard deviation.

At long last I am back in to shooting 10m air pistol competition cards!
The KCSSA and WKRL winter leagues are well under way, and as of this morning I have shot ahead up to, and including, round 5 (out of 10) in both competitions.

The Kent competition is 10 rounds of 10 shots per round, shot as 2 cards with 5 shots on each. The WKRL competition is 10 rounds of 10 shots per round on one card.
The morning first card was KCSSA 4/1 and it stank. usually my first card is fairly good, but today is was a wildly inaccurate 27 ex 50, with the next card KCSSA 4/2 being a much better 43 ex 50.
This set the tone from then on, with the KCSSA 5/1-2 cards scoring a combined 78 ex 100, and the WKRL R4 and R5 scoring 80 ex 100 and 79 ex 100 respectively.
