PRACTICAL PISTOL IS BACK!
THE UKPSA and PJR Custom are proud to announce the return of Practical Pistol to Bisley at the Phoenix! We will be running both a UKPSA graded match and an open match. Anybody can shoot the open match, all equipment will be available for hire on the day. It will be run as a "pay and play event". In addition, UKPSA members may shoot the graded or the open match.
We will also be running a Steel Challenge match, again open to anybody with all equipment available for hire. There will also be a test range where you can try out all the latest equipment, if you just want to "have a go" and PJR Custom will have a full range of equipment available for sale.
The event will run for all three days, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and will be an unsquadded event, just turn up and let us know you want to shoot. You will either be able to shoot straight away or will be given a time slot later that day. If you wish to shoot the full UKPSA graded match then it is highly recommended that you pre-register your intention in order to ensure that you can shoot on the day and time slot that you prefer.
All this will take place inside large marquees on the 'Bowling green' in front of the London and Middlesex Rifle Asso-ciation, behind Fultons.
The guns used will be true semi auto gas blow back pistols, exact copies of full bore firearms, such as Glock's, 1911's, STI, Para Ordnance, etc. These are high quality airsoft pistols, firing 6mm plastic ammunition.
These matches will provide the ideal opportunity for those unfamiliar with pistols to try something new, or for those still missing the handguns they once had, to re-acquaint them-selves with a familiar discipline. OK, it’s not quite the same, but the quality of these new pistols, with their blow-back ac-tion, is much more realistic and satisfying to shoot than you might imagine.
Clubs might like to see how a match can be set up, with a view to putting something similar on for members.
Go on, give it a try you might well be surprised!
