Shot with some friends Saturday ( a few pictures)

[John "spysir" Blount]

Thought for a minute about posting in the "competition" section but as I have no report and it's just fun seeing some of my airgun friends thought maybe the general section was better? Likely there will be a full report in a few days and I'll post the "facts" in the FT section.
Hope the pictures work this time!
An older version of the "new" pellet inspection/sorter:

One shooter had a rifle I had never seen in person an AA (I believe, maybe a CZ though?) 200, super nice light weight rig that was shooting right at 16j in .22

At the last shoot a newer shooter had asked if anyone had a marauder he could try just a few shots with so I brought one along, he really enjoyed it and notied right away the difference from his springer as far as seeing the pellet impact the target which is a big advantage in target work

Jim also brought his highly customized (ya that's it) Marauder. Jim certainly did a nice job with his trigger! It had to be right at 2oz

Brent (I hope that's right) using his nitro piston - any rifle under 20fpe works just fine)

David was also kind enough to let me use his Daystate 2000 for the match, nice rifle

You need to copy the "Direct" link from photobucket to get your pics to show up

Well, I tried, perhaps I will get the pictures right next time? Hopefully people can click on the link? It is a public album.

And, if I hadn't hit some hyperlink snag I would have added,

Naturally everyone is happy to let you try what they shoot, several good deals were made between several shooters, the weather and hamburgers were great and just the nicest people! I heard several new shooters as well as an old timer talking about what they learned that day. Even if you think Field Target isn't your thing ( and if it isn't you've likely never tried it, 99.9% of people come back for yet more fun) anyone seeking knowledge whether about a particular airgun or shooting or absolutely anything airgun, you need to get to a shoot near you.

Hope everyone had as nice a weekend!

John
