Grandson out enjoying the new PCP. The smile was from ear to ear Christmas Morning. After a tin of pellets downrange he said "this is so much better than the break barrel singleshot.

Love to see it! There's just something about airguns, right? I got my wife into shooting this year, shooting everything from 9mm handguns to .308 bolt rifles, yet she says the funnest is her Prod bullpup.
Going on a tangent now, but the airgun being the funnest for her has nothing to do with the recoil or blast of firearms either. I bought myself a .223 Ruger bolt action and a .308 Ruger bolt action. I thought she'd like to use the .223 when I'm shooting the .308. Not so! She shot the .223 and seemed to like it, then took one shot with the .308 and demanded that I buy another .308 for her to shoot.
Anywho, shooting guns with family is great, ain't it?

Yes it is! My daughter was competing in IDPA at 13yrs old and beating alot of the adults. Thought I was gonna get to coach a future prodigy then BOYS suddenly didn't have cooties anymore. Most fun I had with her was sending her to look for the brass magnet in the truck to help pickup spent brass.

Yep Santa went for quality over quantity this year. He has been wanting to squirrel; hunt with me. Now he has the equipment. Working on getting him to sit still and quiet for longer than 5 mins
Shooting it with the tune it came from the factory on. I'm getting 16 shots (230Bar down to 170Bar) or 1 mag off the cylinder.Upvote 0
Man i seen the title " grandson sighted in". My first thought was hes being used for a target?.. glad i was wrong..
Ashame more kids dont get any opportunity to responsibly befrend guns and the shooting sport. Maybe we'd have less issues today with it/ anti gun or a crazy.

Back about his age we had shoots from school clubs like gun club, 4h ,ffa. Had prizes or awards skeek shoots right on the large football practice feild. No 911 or Alphabet org involvment or criminal actions.
Now look how it is.. now i guess kids get there gun experience's from tv , movies or video games that parents gave them as a built in babysitter to get them out of there hair.. .. sad

think your tunes hot. you shoud be able to get more than that per fill i would think kinda fps and what gr pellets are you using regs at 170 bar seems higher than needed i think 500mm 25 cal im sure reg at 150 will be plenty should be able to get 35 shots with 25 gr kings at 890 fpsYep Santa went for quality over quantity this year.

I want to teach my nephew and nieces to shoot, but none of them seen interested, they are between 20 and 35 of age.
We will see, my oldest niece just got 2 horses, the biggest one seem large enough to carry my old fat wrinkly ass, so maybe she can teach me to ride this summer and i can teach her to shoot.
I did give her a crash course on how to solder a few years back, and she was all over that, so uncle probably just need to nudge her a little on the shooting stuff.
They do have mice and rats as they live out in the country, and i can not see any better way to get rid of something like that.

Oh yeah I know it is hot. I just haven't played with it yet. I'm going to drop it down especially since primary distance will be under 50yards for now. When I go to the range for longer shots I will get a tune for that.

And that my friends is what this life should be all about; the pure wondrous joy being a child of GOD.
