FWB Day out with the FWB Sport

[Sqwirl57]

Had a little free time today and decided to have some fun with my newer model Sport with a 4-12x50 Airmax. This gun has a pretty tame 11.8fpe FT tune. After reading some stuff somewhere else I think I'm going to re-tune this gun again and go with a short stroke setup. We'll see how that goes. Should be some fun experimenting though.

Ok so onto how she did. Range was 50yds with a slight breeze and but I had a small piece of orange tape down range to judge wind by a little. Groups 1 and 2 were guesses at holdover and I had the right idea by #3. Best group of the day was 0.36" while the worst groups were both 1.09". Average for the day was 0.76" for just under 1.5 MOA. I can live with that.

.360 is good at 50 yards with a piston gun.

Just wish I could do it more than once

Yep

Yep that's the challenge with piston guns, hold, breathing, trigger break, and follow thru..lol. Why do you think everybody loves pcp. Some can never master the piston.

Haha yeah man thats why I like them. When you string a few good ones in a row it feels pretty darn good.

You really have to shoot a few every day to get consistent. I can tell when I don't shoot for a week or two.

Been a bit for me. This winter BS is starting to get old. I'm ready for warm weather and long days already!

Range Buddy! Its a pretty great free app or at least it was. Mine still works fine but some friends have said there's has stopped working properly on their newer phones

Nice! Pretty much anything inside 3/4 - 1 inch, at 50 yds, with a springer, is great shooting.
