It's feels like it's the never ending winter here. NW New Jersey. Had a dusting of snow this morning, and today was freezing and windy. But. This Sunday weather forecast says it will be 60 with about 5 miles per hour winds from the north. I'm psyched, cause since I've gotten my first air rifle a couple weeks ago, the weather has sucked! Only shot her twice. First was sighting in, and preliminary Pellet preference. Second time was pure pellet testing, but wind was too strong from left to right. Took her out to only 40 yds. This Sunday morning, going to get more accurate, accuracy tests with the 2 pellets she likes. Damn weather men better be correct!!!

It's been a crazy spring here in central Maryland but it's finally getting better. Nice here today, sunny and low 60's with a little breeze. 60's would be fine with me all summer. I hate the hot humid weather we get here in summer. What gun did you get?

I got a Benjamin Maximus in .22. This will be a pure small game hunter for me. Can't have anything with any type of sound suppression system on it, and can't be more than .22 for hunting. I can't wait to retire, and move to a free state.

Finally a nice spring day here, so I went to shoot my new rifle. A little breezier than forecasted, and windier than I would like, but, it is what it is. This is only the third time I've shot the Maximus. Shot the 2 pellets that it seems to like. JSB 15.89 gr., and Beeman Devastator 16.36 gr.. Also wanted to compare accuracy to my CZ 452 22LR. Shot 5 round groups at 20, 30, 40, and 50 yds..
Unfortunately, I had one of those days we all have when my skills couldn't complement the equipment. Anyway. The Maximus held it's own with the CZ. I'm very impressed, this being the only air rifle I've ever owned.

Nice, I know you enjoyed that day. Probably won't be your last air gun, welcome to the addiction Dave
