    Mate you smoked that star.

    Even the Cowboys round here would be impressed.

    My front sight nearly blots the whole plate out at 10m.

    I think I would need bigger plates at 10m!

    It looks like you could make a set of bigger ones as well?
    Please excuse spelling, as finger speed is sometimes behind brain spped........ Or maybe the other wayy.....

    I don't see any reason why not.
    As long as they weighed the same mounting is simple. He sent some spares with it including heavier springs for the latch.

    I would say it would be a lot harder again with a CA gun, no?

    We have a club day tomorrow so I will get to see how the CAS guys and girls go on it.

    @R93, Are the plates just flat, with 2 holes through? Ie nothing welded on them or bent, etc...?

    Yup. Just 2 holes to locate them on the arm.

    The Cowboys I know would shoot it with a 44-40 lever action or a 12 gauge.

    Powers that be at the club say we will not use anything but pistols on the star.
    Don't see a problem using the shotgun myself.
