    N/A old man that is newby to air guns

    Until you’re grouping in the bull, I’m just seeing wounded groundhogs. Shooting is fun, and comes with responsibility. I do hope your varmint situation gets resolved.

    2025 Goals for Airgunners

    Shooting for 6 months now with an HW35. It took nerve and mistakes but I was able to successfully put in a JM spring and Vortek seal. Learning and confidence have increased with patience. I also bought a Silver Star a couple months ago since pistols don’t count.

    Had about 45 minutes of light after a late dinner. Good thing as tomorrow is scheduled to be the 13th rainy Saturday in a row. HW35 .177 Baracuda 8 8.44 My longest distance. I could get another dozen yards tabling in the garage, then across the deck, but this is going to be my spot for a...

    Springer vs. PCP

    Welcome from Massachusetts. How old is this youngest? I’m a springer guy. They’re simple, inexpensive to maintain and challenging. Read up on the Weihrauch springers. They’re high end and accurate. All the specs are out there. Beware of video reviews. If this person is a sturdy teen, then...

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Did a Jimmie Dee trigger adjustment this morning on the .177 Silver Star. Got the rd close to zero resting the butt on a bag. The safety is extremely tight now. I loosened the grip screws without any change. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Rookie to the “air” world!!

    Welcome from Massachusetts. Read and spend wisely so you don’t get piles of unnecessary stuff. I’m a springer rifle and pistol guy, less than a year. I prefer higher end accessories and the only thing ever to break, I broke myself. Most of all is to enjoy yourself.

    POI Shift - gun or scope?

    My yard is about the same. What gun are you shooting and which projectiles? UTG BugBuster on my HW35 meets all my needs. The only downside is me. Always good scopes here in the classifieds.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    It is good clean, family fun. Wouldn’t you rather gift her something off your racks? A rifle with great stories and sentimental value because it was yours. 🧙‍♂️

    What springer did you shoot today?

    My first outside adventure scoped. I only had sights last summer when I first started shooting. HW35 .177 Barracuda 8 8.44gr My daughter had an appointment near me and is spending the night. She wasn’t too enthusiastic to shoot and said she’d sit with me and watch. Then I asked her to...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    The factory safety worked perfectly every time. The brass fit in nicely and I’m cocking until I hear things catch. Putting the trigger back in was all lined up, front pin first, and I tried to visualize the trigger/safety relationship. I was unable to understand the mechanics of setting the...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Thanks. That first tinker is a tough one. Not without scratches, stripping threads, and improper tools. I’ve passed a small hump and have more, but not too much. It is my HW35 pictured. The brass safety button is hit or miss. My trigger is lined up perfectly, yet the safety isn’t always catching.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    It’s been a couple months. I put in a Vortek seal and Maccari spring. It wasn’t a cakewalk. I was so discouraged, I had to buy an HW45. After an unsolicited and encouraging message from one of the Jedi Masters of the spring, I climbed back down the HW35 hole. The second reassembly went...
