Haven’t shot any of my air rifles for the last 9 days since free standing and shooting my Benjamin Titan at 10 meters. So from the depths of my enormous safe (that only holds 4 rifles) I grabbed my 22 cal Hw77 and shot 9 pellets, one for each day at 25 meters. 5 on the left, 3 in the middle and...

Thanks mate

Dave do you own any Hw 97’s and if so are they fitted with a suppressor or a muzzle break. I think your laws on suppressors are they same as ours, no can haveeeeee. Here they are advertised as having a muzzle break. Gary

Here (Australia) the 97 is advertised as having a fixed barrel with a muzzle break. Can’t see any holes drilled as such in any of the local advertising as show in your picture. Maybe using Weihrauch pictures. And yes we are not allowed to have a suppressors without a permit (contract shooters...

Believe it or not a few years ago I would have to take most of my shots freehand as stalking close to your prey in sight of a tree or fence was difficult. Needless to say my group would have been a tad smaller. Just holding the rifle as still as possible for those 10 shots and trying to remember...

I haven’t shot any of my airrifles from the standing position since moving from the bush. So for poops and giggles today I grabbed my Benjamin Titan from the safe measured out 10 meters and adjusted the parallax from 25 meters to 10. Nothing more. And here’s the result, 10 shots. While not very...

I read this article a few years ago by Tom Gaylord after I noticed drift to the left and then drift to the right at different distances when shooting a particular spring rifle. Initially I thought it might be a bad scope but Mr Gaylord’s article made sense to me. I didn’t fix to problem however...

I have a Hw50S in 22 cal. The pellet it likes is the 12.65 gr H&N Baracuda Green. You will really enjoy your new rifle. Gary

Went in the hospital yesterday for check up and discuss results from surgery. I’m still in a bit of pain when eating and swallowing and that’s after 6 weeks but it’s getting better. I had transoral robotic surgery, there were clear margins around the invasive stuff which is great but unclear...

Dave it’s good news you have your power back. Got a question for you, how is that older Hw50 going that you were having trouble with. As a side note we just got connected to the NBN (national broadband network). Before I had to connect the iPad through hotspot on my iPhone, always dropped out...

I shoot, play pool, clean my teeth and write left handed, every thing else is done on the other side🤔. I surfed for 50 years as a natural footed surfer until my knees went. Gary

I feel for you Dave, having to clean up after a storm isn’t nice or fun. At our old property we had 92 gum trees on our foot path (verge) and any sort of heavy rain and winds would bring down spears. The ghost gums are noted for dropping their branches and the little Husqvarna used to get a work...

I’m honered.

When we had our big property I used to lay on my back in the shade and shoot the small green pine cones before they opened. (Not the ones directly above me) It was good practice for judging hold under to eradicate pest birds that landed high in the trees. Gary

Well done Dave, that’s a lot of pellets. Which rifle did you use? Gary
