Thread: Going to give pistol shooting a go

Our club also has no problem with recreational shooters coming to put rounds into steels on a Sunday, but we do find that, aside from 1-2 mainly BP guys that turn up very regularly, guys that don't fall into a competetive discipline gradually lose interest. We're now in a difficult position due to a small group that may just turn up to a club shoot to sign the log book and leave. I guess some people enjoy the ownership of a pistol more than the act of using it.
Luckily there are plenty of other disciplines that are competetive but don't require such competitive gear. You could happily shoot speed steel with a p38 or tt33

Pistol shooters in general - I hope that OP enjoys pistol shooting and finds something that suits him

I can't be arsed with the negativity from some people so will leave yas to it
