Last night we had a case of juxtaposition between a brand new top end pistol and a 46 year old well used Rifle at the Club.
Markyb recently acquired an “Original” 66”(as sold in the UK but for the rest of the world known as a Diana). This particular rifle was manufactured in October 1980.
Markyb shot it tonight in traditional 80’s style with a cheek piece raiser made up of used cards and masking tape! Yes I’m told this was how it was done way back then.? 🥴
We even had Billy take a few shots with it too!
Markyb scored a 48 and then a 49 at 6 yards. Not bad scores bearing in mind it is 46 years old and he was just sighting it in! 😊
There was some excitement for another of our member’s Satabdi who finally received her new Caesar Morini 200ei pistol.
Lovely pistol with great features. Looks fab! Hope Satabdi gets great results with it at future competitions.
We had another “50 Club” entry last night with Rob shooting 50 in supported pistol. Well done!
