What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Thank you! A friend bought us an Arken ELP4 6-24x50 scope when they were on sale, and although I love the view at 24x, I find I shoot better with it at 14-16x. Target acquisition and parallax adjustments are more forgiving, too. I think you shoot way better than me, and it helps to know it's not just me.
Much appreciated.

The other day I just about passed out. I saw an albino squirrel. Well he was blonde, I mean she.
Check this guy out I stole his love nest.

Day of rest, means day of shooting. Shooting a keeper, a HW85 .177. Haven’t shot much, just got it in trade for pictures. I like this gun so much this is my 3rd 85. Blows me away AoA doesn’t carry them.
The one .177 will be reg.spring the other .177 a 12 FPE spring. With long barrel it’s a breeze to jack. This gun would be lucky to have 100 rounds through it. Needs a muzzle end.
Here’s 5 shots 46 yds. Second shot clean through. Then lunch. 
Great rifle. Crow

Out with the R9 .20. this afternoon. 
This gun delivers the goods. Aerated a few squirrels with this one.
And the lost 97 .20 again
No squirrels for this one yet but took out 2 flies. Have to continue after supper.
88F with a strong with wind coming off the lake, perfect day. Crow

Awesome guns.
When I see the lower gun it for some reason, reminds me when I was I Las Vegas at the Gun Store and shot a Thompson machine gun. So cool, and totally illegal here. Crow
Not the same colour. I never seen one before. I have to get a picture. He’ll be back. Crow

Finally stopped raining long enough for Kimmie Two Guns and I to shoot a little. Her HW50S .22, my long barrel 97K .177 and Diana 56TH .177 . Metal targets and chalk targets at 20 and 25 yd. Love the chalk, the targets just get smaller and smaller. I actually shoot a hair better with the 97 than the 56TH because the 97’s trigger is better. Little bit of creep in the T06 2nd stage. Which is okay, manageable, feels like a PCP trigger. But. Every 5 or 6 shots suddenly there’s no creep. Takes being surprised by your shot to the extreme! When you’re talking guns with this kind of accuracy it makes a difference. The Rekord is just more consistent and predictable. Now that we’re shooting again hoping Hector is still available to fix it up. Still a heckuva gun and I love shooting it.

Before supper I shot a HW85 .22. Great gun.
Dirty hot 90+F. Worked on dock in the water, still hot.

After supper shooting a HW30 .22 Cal. Mair attack on the flies. Even nailed a few stallions ( horse flies ). I swear they have no legs they land with their teeth. 
This rifle is lethal. Crow

I have been shooting almost exclusively at 75-yards, from the shooting bags, and I set the scope for that distance at 24X. I don't need field of view for that set up as my target acquisition is within a 3x4 foot box. I basically set it and forget it..

.Fantasy "Diana 65RT". The Diana 75RT is very rare, they never made a 65RT.
The gun was really worn, no sights, no sleeve, no pad...now carbon fiber sleeve covers the rusty barrel, Chinese scope, fake wooden RT butt plate...and almost as accurate as a fixed barrel 75!

Thanks. 35 yards is my limit. But I shoot exclusively .177 -- I've never even shot a .22 air gun -- and I have to be able to hit within 1/4" to make a good clean kill. I couldn't do that at 75 yards in my wildest dreams.
I got 5 chippers today despite being sick and not spending much time outside. What a day. That makes 76 for the year so far, not including other critters. I end up burying some almost every day because the cat can't eat them all, on top of what she's getting herself.
We have a point where they love to tease me b/c they know it's out of my range. 65 yards minimum. If you ever want to come to central Colorado and show them who's boss, that'd be keen.
