    What springer did you shoot today?

    Haven’t shot any of my air rifles for the last 9 days since free standing and shooting my Benjamin Titan at 10 meters. So from the depths of my enormous safe (that only holds 4 rifles) I grabbed my 22 cal Hw77 and shot 9 pellets, one for each day at 25 meters. 5 on the left, 3 in the middle and...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Dave do you own any Hw 97’s and if so are they fitted with a suppressor or a muzzle break. I think your laws on suppressors are they same as ours, no can haveeeeee. Here they are advertised as having a muzzle break. Gary

    Aussie HW 97

    Here (Australia) the 97 is advertised as having a fixed barrel with a muzzle break. Can’t see any holes drilled as such in any of the local advertising as show in your picture. Maybe using Weihrauch pictures. And yes we are not allowed to have a suppressors without a permit (contract shooters...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Believe it or not a few years ago I would have to take most of my shots freehand as stalking close to your prey in sight of a tree or fence was difficult. Needless to say my group would have been a tad smaller. Just holding the rifle as still as possible for those 10 shots and trying to remember...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I haven’t shot any of my airrifles from the standing position since moving from the bush. So for poops and giggles today I grabbed my Benjamin Titan from the safe measured out 10 meters and adjusted the parallax from 25 meters to 10. Nothing more. And here’s the result, 10 shots. While not very...

    Air Arms How accurate is a springer- really

    I read this article a few years ago by Tom Gaylord after I noticed drift to the left and then drift to the right at different distances when shooting a particular spring rifle. Initially I thought it might be a bad scope but Mr Gaylord’s article made sense to me. I didn’t fix to problem however...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 in .22

    I have a Hw50S in 22 cal. The pellet it likes is the 12.65 gr H&N Baracuda Green. You will really enjoy your new rifle. Gary

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Went in the hospital yesterday for check up and discuss results from surgery. I’m still in a bit of pain when eating and swallowing and that’s after 6 weeks but it’s getting better. I had transoral robotic surgery, there were clear margins around the invasive stuff which is great but unclear...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Dave it’s good news you have your power back. Got a question for you, how is that older Hw50 going that you were having trouble with. As a side note we just got connected to the NBN (national broadband network). Before I had to connect the iPad through hotspot on my iPhone, always dropped out...

    A shout out to All Lefties...

    I shoot, play pool, clean my teeth and write left handed, every thing else is done on the other side🤔. I surfed for 50 years as a natural footed surfer until my knees went. Gary

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I feel for you Dave, having to clean up after a storm isn’t nice or fun. At our old property we had 92 gum trees on our foot path (verge) and any sort of heavy rain and winds would bring down spears. The ghost gums are noted for dropping their branches and the little Husqvarna used to get a work...

    How do YOU challenge YOU?

    When we had our big property I used to lay on my back in the shade and shoot the small green pine cones before they opened. (Not the ones directly above me) It was good practice for judging hold under to eradicate pest birds that landed high in the trees. Gary

    Spring loaded target

    Well done Dave, that’s a lot of pellets. Which rifle did you use? Gary

    Spring loaded target

    Dave I don’t think you’ll miss much with that 22 cal Hw50. Have you tried the H&N Baracuda Greens 12.65 gr. These are the only pellets I shoot in my 22cal HW50s, 22 cal Hw77 Stainless and my 22 cal LGV Challenger Ultra. They are a little bit more pricey but I’ve found them to be the most...

    Spring loaded target

    G’day Crow I’ve got a couple of questions for you and there is no rush to answer them. 1. If you shot only one pellet at each target how many pellets would you use assuming you hit the target each time? and 2. How long would this take. Thanks Gary

    N/A Guess the rifle

    Is it a Beeman double barrel with duel calibers? Gary

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Grabbed the Hw77 Stainless out of the safe. Felt good to shoot even if was only short. First time shooting any air rifle since before going into hospital. Lost 7 kilos in two weeks couldn’t eat anything except custard and scrambled eggs. Bloody pain unbearable. Doctor rang last night with...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Thanks guys for your words of encouragement. As of 6.15am this morning Alfred is 65 kilometres off the coast and has been down graded to a tropical low. So far over 239000 properties have lost power and a lot more is expected. Wind gusts are in the 60 to 100k’s an hour. Many many people have and...
