Ahh...thats a much clearer picture now.
I take it you want to shoot in competitions.
That means with air rifles and pistols, its 10mtr air rifle and pistol and Field Target for you.
This new IHP PCP is good for ISSF 10mtr event and the new IHP PCP pistol (Price 10K approx) is good for 10mtr ISSF air pistol event.
The Diana Mod 56 I am afraid wont be allowed in the 10mtr ISSF or the 10mtr Open sight even because its way too powerful. The usual 10mtr air rifles do 500fps. The Mod 56 I believe does more than twice that speed.
However if you have set your heart on the curvy lines of the Mod 56 (can't blame you, the curves really are .....you know what I mean) then do look at Field Target which is coming up here. Google for Field Target to know more. I am also setting up mfta.in which would be our foot print in the sport of Field Target.
Happy shooting.

I have some problems regarding eye sight, but i love this sport well enough to make me wish to take part in official competition, not for winning but for the spirit of the game.
So that would require a good air rifle. A friend of mine currently in Dubai has promised me that he will try to get a Diana Mod. 56 target hunter, but it seems unlikely that he will come back with in 2009. That's why i was thinking of getting an N 35. But if IHP can properly answer my queries and make a commitment on service support, i might settle for the compressed air.
I am impressed by its looks, but looks can be deceiving

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.
