What springer did you shoot today?

Rumors of my demise still much exaggerated LOL. Weather and schedule finally cooperated and I got to shoot for a several hours today for the first time in months. FWB day at the ranch with 124, 300S and 601. Just reactive targets and cans some sitting some standing. Pitting the 300S and 601 against each other at 13 yards was a lot of fun. Almost nothing between them. 300S is easier to cock, but the big difference is trigger. 300S has a great trigger but 601 trigger is sublime. Little less weight and so adjustable it’s like someone built you a custom trigger. It and Diana Model 75 are the best triggers I’ve ever used on anything. Both of these are fantastic guns. Their biggest drawback is if I miss I can’t blame my equipment!

Some fun in-between chores today.

View attachment 439073Here’s A moon shot real time off front porch. Weak lighting, hard to hold. View attachment 439078This HW90 .20 just gets better and better. Ringing bells through 1 in. hole all on me. What a gun. View attachment 439079Hopefully a .177 will arrive this week. Today a little brrr 2 hours shooting 24 F. Sun keeps you warm. Crow

No 75 in the pic. Things have finally calmed down enough for me to get it packed and off for reseal though so it will be seen soon. The laminate gun is a FWB 601. You want one. I did shoot the Wing today though. Blast to shoot chalk with.

HW98 .177 in a new Steve Corcoran stock. Had a chance to shoot a quick group indoors at 15 yards.

Shot for a hour this morning.

Today was PCPs for an hour or so, but yesterday was quality time with my TX200. A lot more shots with the PCPs in the same amount of time. My happy place:

Pouring rain all day, good time to try out my new Daisy 499B. Wanted one of these a long time and finally picked one up, perfect for some target shooting in the garage.

Morning 2 hour shoot, high 30’s and sunny. HW 95 .20 first of the day. Once sighted in couldn’t miss .View attachment 439316A little gulling happening. Begging for a new internal.
The HW97kt .25 just carved my snow targets. It destroyed the melting snow, best targets.
I tried using my middle finger on trigger as used I think by Mycapt65 suggested. I was blown away. I stopped pulling. I found it comfortable, and like using a hand saw your index is pointing at your target. Thanks, for great idea. I was smacking my bells through 1 inch holes at will, 47 yds. View attachment 439315This .25 is easily one of my favorite plinkers. Crow

Yes. That was my suggestion. I'm glad it's working for you.

Shot the 20 cal 98 at 50 before the wind kicked up I had several targets with three or four touching and a flyer a half inch away. This gun is showing more promise each outing. I guess it's finally breaking in. I kitted it and replaced the piston seal late last summer it's probably only had 1000 shots since then.

I went down to work in my shop for the um-teeth time, have a few jobs waiting. Opened the blinds sat down. View attachment 439583Got up and filled the elevator with guns. Closed the blinds and shot on range instead for 2 hours.
Started off with 2 cannons. A Diana 54 Pro .22. View attachment 439587Once I zeroed it at 47 yds. it was accurate with good force.
This Hatson 135 .30 cal. is just plain torture to jack. I still one arm it but it’s a good pull. I finally got it sighted in. Kicks like a mule. And the rounds are almost the size of my sling shot rounds.

Hammer time.

Smacking beer cans with the P1 out to 25 yards. Winds too strong for serious shooting.
