What pistol did you shoot today
- Thread starter Septicdeath
- Start date
I have not done any shooting at all really to speak of this summer and it's kind of pissing me off. I try to sustain at least some engagement with any hobby that I've invested some time in but I've just had too much going on and then the wrong kind of energy when I've had free time. I have to start scheduling it like other things that are important to me and then planning around it as opposed to waiting for the planets to align. I would've probably seen what I could hit with some janky iron sights I have on my .357 Rex P if I had gotten around to it. That gun has all kinds of shortcomings relative to the modern highly refined airgun, but I love it for the Air Force like simplicity, complete reliability, easy loading, under lever mechanism, and absurd report. Maybe tomorrow.

Hi guys..it was a good day for me today..sold one of my boats..extra play money now…after all the chores were done ..had some time left for shooting..then the hard part which one get to come out to bark it’s muzzle off…
idea came to mine..gave them each a chip and in the hat they go till I shoot all of them ..no favoritism any more ..first pick was a doozy..It was the 78G..this one is almost museum quantity and it barks like a big dog…@ 30 yards open sights it was crushing the 4” plates..for a CO2 pistol .. I am guessing it’s close to 600 fps..I have been looking for a decent chronograph..but 700 is a little steep just to check the speed of a pellet for just plinking around in the back yard

That is a very fine looking example, I love mine, but that one really gets my envious nerve twitching...Hi guys..it was a good day for me today..sold one of my boats..extra play money now…after all the chores were done ..had some time left for shooting..then the hard part which one get to come out to bark it’s muzzle off…

Had a bit of a Weihrauch day at the range this morning.
My plan 'C' red dot mounting has proved successful, but I have a plan 'D' in the works.
Also gave my new to me HW75 it's first try out at 10m. I had neglected to take along some Meisterkuglen 7.0 to try, but it still proved okay with some Bisley Practice flat heads.

They were cheap for me; I came second in an informal club bench-rest competition and won a £10 voucher for the local gun shop.
The pellets were £6 per tin, so it works out at ten shots per penny.

Did the final testing of pellets for my
1377 Carbine pistol I named Ram Jam , and it came to like the JSB RS EXACT
7.33 grain the best. T.S. is trigger slip.
After the final test I did a challenge with the Wadcutter , and JSB. Took 65 shots total today 10 on a different target at 5 pumps each that's 325 pumps , and that took a minute. That squiggly thing is what I pulled out of my tin of Benjamin pellets there is a whole pellet wrapped up in there. OV.

I would say you are probably correct...the price has doubled since then..so it's a good indication that there product works ...I just bought one and got it in tonight but it was to dark for it to work...it is the Athlon Optics Rangecraft Velocity Pro Radar Chronograph ..only for the reason I also needed it for tuning my Bow.. and I also have a large collection of Slingshots...that I make my own bands for different ammo that I use...but for that price it would make a perfect backup...I will see how good this thing works tomorrow...I have 30 days to play with it...thanks for the info I didn't see this one when I was looking for one

Took out the S&W 79G today and ran it through the chrono with these pellets ...
Crosman Ultra Magnum 10.5gr, 395fps 3.63fpe
RWS Hobby Sportline (flatheads) 7.0gr, 480fps 3.58fpe
Excellent accuracy with both at 10 yards.

No fair eyeballing stuff in background.
Lol. My little range is only 15 yards.
I know they should be better at that range , Excuses: I was covered in mosquito repellent , but they kept coming. Lot's of rain , so high humidity.
The planets were not aligned right , and my wiggles were at a max. Lol.
