I am one of the best losers!!!

[Yelena]

Today our friend Scrivener had invited me to the 0.22 rimfire pistol competition to his gun club. I was not trying to win (simply because my chances was not so great), but certainly had a lot of fun missing the targets My fancy Russian Olympic gun, IZH-35 aka Bobby, for some reason was not too cooperative, so Scrivener offered me to use his Ruger. I ended up winning one of the "loser shoots" and went home with a prize: a pretty large steak.
Thank you Scrivener!!!

Congrats, Yelena! Wish I'd thought to check The Outdoor Message; could have come down for the shoot.

I know Ross. I've shot with him a number of times at Hopkinton. Just joking around with his NES street rep.

Even though I am not a member... you do all realize this could upset the balance of the Scrivener tough love fan club social group resulting in a drastic time/space change.

Indeed.

We've discussed it.

I think the way you called it in order to inspire me to win was a little better... Thanks for a nice laugh, dear Equal Opportunity Abuser!!!

Yelena it was a pleasure to have you at one of our shoots.

I hope you had a good time , You seemed to not mind a little ribbing from our fellow members , i just wished we had more female shooters. We used to have a woman who shot black powder rifle with an incredible custom made Kentucky rifle . Hope to see you agian .

Yelena,
How do you like your IZH 35? I wish they were available in MA. I think it would be a good step up for me in Bullseye competition. Has anyone ever seen or know one of these for sale in MA?
Thanks

Honestly, I don't have a clear opinion on this gun. First of all, because this is the first and so far the only rimfire 0.22 pistol I own, I can't compare it with anything. It seems to be pretty accurate when I practice at the range, and I think that the gun is doing its part better than I do mine. There are two problems I see. First, this is a heavy pistol. I simply can't hold it still for a long time. Second, it sometimes jams rounds or fails to shoot.
If you wish to try it, you are more than welcome to. Just fire me a PM, and we will figure out the time to meet. I know that availibility of those pistols is limited, as they are not exported from Russia any more.

After honing your skills with a Ruger, the S&W 41 is a popular next step. Up from that are the euro guns like Yelena's that have a much different grip angle as well as various adjustments in grip and trigger distance and pull. Hard to find here; but I saw Yankee Artifacts has a Benelli for sale. I picked one up myself after last season and will be using it for Riverside this winter.
