CS: Target-Modern Pentathlon

From: "Nik", [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have checked my facts (for once) and they do now use .177 AP (www.mpagb.easynet.co.uk for the full details). As any self-respecting international will be using a pre-charged pneumatic, the use of ear muffs would make sense, from a concentration rathe
