I did a thing

[humbled.ag]

I shot at the Nenameseck Woods and FT club Sunday. The course was 60 shots, with one kneeler, and one standing lane. The conditions were slightly breezish, just enough to feel it, not enough to move out of the kill zone. Shifting to a springer has been a fun adventure so far. I've got it shooting relatively stable and had no shifts during the match. Given my lack of practice, and a not quite correct stock I left 20pts in the woods. It's ok though. I've learned what needs to be adjusted on the stock, and what I need to practice, specifically. Also, having Leo as by standard doesn't help.

I can't lift heavy things in the gym anymore, so why not for sport!

In my opinion, based on experience and observations, to avoid coming away from an FT match after using a springer the gun should be at least as heavy as possible to handle (preferably without a crane), and tuned to the nth degree by a spring-piston magician. Just sayin'; not criticizin'.

Matter of fact the least prone to zero shifts spring rifle of five nice ones I own (a .22 Pro Sport) is in the hands of the closest springer smith for a Vortek transplant, in hopes she continues maintaining zero as well, but with renewed vigor and smoothness. Yes, I said .22.

No, I won't put a heavy custom stock on her for FT work. If she doesn't do well enough in FT, she's relegated to a lovely small-game and pest rifle. Hey...

I like custom stocks and will "put up " with the extra weight .
