While sitting on my porch feeding squirrels fresh lead sandwiches, I looked down and saw a bolt on the ground. Apparently, the bolt in the trigger guard had fallen out. That gave me a chance to tighten all the visible bolts in the hw97. Does anyone recommend using light lock tight on any of...

Using my HW97 I’m confident of hitting my squirrel every time . However, I don’t always get a one shot head kill. On a gut shot, can I assume the squirrel will bleed out? Or, will it survive. It’s not always easy to get a second shot when the critter is flopping around on the ground. Would...

This is my first full season with my HW97. Last year I only had a few months before winter. It was a learning experience with much trial and error. By October the HW was in the closet for a long winter’s nap. With a warm May the squirrels were venturing out. My shooting distance is 45 yards or...

Tomorrow my new gun arrives. Dealer mounted the scope and sighted it in at 22 yards. Where do you begin with a new gun? I was thinking of cleaning the barrel before the first shot. Then, getting used to the gun at 22 yards. Ultimately, I’ll need to resight to 40 yards. Any suggestions on how to...
