    What pistol did you shoot today

    My Crosman Custom Shop with H&N Finale Match Heavy works well for me. Being 82 with Parkinson's, I use a red-dot at 10 yds. I still get a perfect 50 now and then, but 48 is more common.

    What pistol did you shoot today

    Spent some time with my Crosman Custom Shop at 10 yds. Best I could do today was a 48 out of 50 score. Anything over 47 is good for me. Covid shut down the Custom Shop around Spring of 2020. For the past year, their message has been "opening soon".

    What are your thoughts on replicas?

    The only replica I have is this Schofield, a very good copy of the post-civil war pistol. It uses 2 kinds of cartridges, one for BBs, and one for pellets. So once you've loaded all 6, you are good to go. The CO2 cartridge goes in once you remove the grip panel. This panel also has a thing to...

    What's with the Crosman Custom Shop?

    For the past year or so, their website contains the message "coming soon". I feel like a dope convincing people to go there for the wonderful pistol I got 2 years ago.

    Is Crosman failing/going out of business?

    The Custom Shop website has said "coming soon" for quite a while. Glad I got my pistol before the Covid stuff started. Love the gun, especially with the Zebra-wood grips.

    .177 for all of us?

    The only .22s I have are a S&W model 41 and a S&W model 617. My airguns are all .177.

    What got you into Airguns

    This book looked interesting, so I looked on-line for one. Without this original cover, they were around $40. on eBay, and $36. on Amazon. With this old cover, over $100. I did order a "newer" cover from a bookseller for $20. + shipping. Looking forward to getting it.

    What did you shoot in your youth?

    Back in 1954, age 12, my parents did not allow me to have a BB gun, but said I could have a .22 rifle after I had NRA training. After many years of that rifle, handguns and shotguns, I bought my first air gun, a HW 77 scoped rifle, in 1997 after seeing them at my gun club. Got "serious" with air...

    what to get

    I agree. Powerful and very accurate. I've had my HW for 22 years.

    New to the Forum, New to the Hobby/Sport

    Welcome. I'm also into traditional recurve archery (not hunting).

    I\'ve been watching the forums for a few years

    There seem to be a few US members, but few post. Aside from airguns, it's interesting to see how they are coping with "virus lock-down". They seem more "hard hit" than we are, although I have not mentioned it (I'm waiting for a Brit to shoot his mouth off). On a "per 100,000 people" basis, the...

    A question - are longer barrels more accurate?

    Not sure about air guns, but a longer barrel on my 4 pistols are on most guns used in competitions. For open sights, the extra distance between the rear and front sights can give a more accurate aim. The longer barrel also adds weight and balance (less "felt" recoil). All 4 of mine have 6"-7"...

    I\'ve been watching the forums for a few years

    The other air gun forum I belong to is Airgunforum.co.uk. It is British. I find it interesting because air guns are about all they are allowed to own over there. Scotland is even worse, needing government permission to own a air gun. Being an American, I get jabbed now and then. I don't think...

    Missing our shooting club

    I'm 78, and go out to the supermarket (with the mandated mask) almost every day. Live free or die. If Churchill worried about the death count during 31 nights of the Blitz, he would have handed England over to Hitler. But that is just me...plus we have no child to take care of. I've had a very...

    Does PA have a bday sale soon around...

    I buy all of my pellets from PyramydAir. Buy 3 and the 4th one is free. You can mix, but the lowest cost one is the free one. I buy premium cost pellets, so this is a good savings for me. If you want cheap, go to Walmart.
