    What springer did you shoot today?

    Got the second FWB 150 back from resealing by David Slade. Put the diopter sight back on and shot a few times at my swinger target. Did not need any sight adjustments. I put a Gehmann 522 adjustable iris on the front globe and really like it,

    Antique airgun - how remarkable is this one?

    Neat. The French were notable for making some "quirkey" guns. I have two of their rather unique double barrel shotguns, both of the sliding breech varity, one a Darne 28 ga is probably the strongest action of the two, it has a hidden, rising bolt that locks into an extension between the two...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    That looks like the 510 Gehmann iris with silver body. I have two sets of guns, same model except for caliber I have black iris on .177 and silver on .22. I can just glance at the guns and know what caliber.

    Other Recommendations for 10yo?

    I agree on the HW30. I got one a couple of months ago and it is one of the easiest cocking springers I have seen.

It had a...

    Quality Compact Scopes

    I recently got an Accushot 3x12 side focus as part of a package when I bought a Feinwerkbau 150 air rifle. I have not tried the scope on anything, actually preferring diopters on this type rifle. I am by no means expert in examining a scope but can say it looks clear, nice mil dot reticule ...

    Are you happy with your shooting?

    I hear you, I shot competition many years back and honestly it was not what I would call fun. I enjoyed and still enjoy shooting, anything, but did not care for the pressure and stress. My soda cans and swinger targets are much more fun than paper, who cares for tiny groups, there is something...

    The Amazing China airguns.

    I have a Diana Airbug, made in China, and have no problems with the quality. Considering their politics and military aggressiveness especially around some of the islands in the South China Sea, around the Philippines, and Tiawain I do my best not to purchase any products made there. I realize...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Modified a Sinclair clamp onto bench spotting scope stand. My scope has an angled eyepiece and with it mounted direct to the stand the eyepiece is horizontal to the ground and not convenient for me I got a piece of 1/4" thick angle aluminum, drilled and tapped a hole for it , then on the side...

    Are you happy with your shooting?

    I have done my share of shooting like that. I'll be 80 in a few months and find that style more convenient and rewarding than setting up my bench with front rest and rear bag. I often shoot a pistol the same way. My chair is not the most conducive to shooting small groups as it has a slight...

    This upsets me because it is not helpful

    Exactly, My recommendation in such a case is put those funds back, wait a while and save a bit more and buy quality.

    FWB FWB 602 soon to be on way home

    Late reply to this, but I agree. I have been supporting Mr Slade with these old FWB's over the last few years, Two pistols and three rifles now, and one Diana Giss pistol. A FWB150 is supposed to be shipped back to me tomorrow.

    Are you happy with your shooting?

    That's good. The last real offhand shooting I did when I was shooting 4 position, smallbore match back in college, but that's been 60 years ago now. This got me interested so I put a Freeland palm rest on my FWB 150 and went out for a few shots. The palm rest helps a lot, but still I tired...

    Are you happy with your shooting?

    "Personally I'm very happy with my continuing progress but CANNOT shoot freehand anymore. Getting old sucks! I've lost too much strength & control of my left arm & shoulder to chance freehand shooting while hunting. Bipods are my friends! I'm OK with that" I understand that, I'm 79 and no...
