STOEGER XP4 - review & tuning - Introduction to the "BELL TARGET SHOOTING" discipline - Part 1

Good evening to you all.
In this episode, we will begin the review and tuning of a new PCA air pistol model, the Stoeger XP4. After making some mechanical improvements, the power went from 2.3 joules (1.86 ft-lb.) to 3.9 joules (2.86 ft-lb.). Precision has also benefited, you can see discrete groups made at 10 meters in front support using different types of match pellets.
In this first part, I started talking about an old shooting discipline, born in 1890 in the UK, in pubs and private clubs. This is the "BELL TARGET SHOOTING", the discipline is still very popular among young people and not all over the United Kingdom. It is shot with air rifles and air pistols both match and not, at a distance of 6 or 10 meters indoors. The target is an iron plate with a hole in the centre measuring 3/8 inch in diameter. behind which a BELL is positioned which if struck by the pellet that passes through this hole causes a particular and exclusive sound.
In the second part of the video, we will see how to build the final target, in this first part it was the first prototype

Enjoy
