Todays 75 & 100y try

[Hateful McNasty]

First 75 just a tad right


So i go 1 click left and a tad left ( guess i need a 1/2 click)

So went in for a coffee refill and stuff came back out and tried a 100y with just a sideknob adjustment .

It more left but the wind picked up from pretty much none at 75y the a right to left tailing wiffs worth..

I got to assume that pushed them off that much or somthing ..

100y ( 1 premature trigger pull,)



By the time i walked there and back for a look see and pictures then another refill. The wind picked up more so i gave up for now..lol.

R9, cphp.177, 3x12 Talos @6x

No telling about pellets @ times. Have you tried a harmonic balancer?

No , just dont see it on a springer doing much. Then what do i know?

 

[Bob-in-WV]

That is excellent shooting with a spring gun, but the R9 is an excellent gun.

Ya, im about to the point i think im just sticking with one (hw95/r9) and just staying .177. Though i was looking hard at a .22 on a pa referb deal..lol. One thing covid shortages and all showed me is overall i just dont need it. Several guns, several pellets ect..

Just one good gun and one decent locally bought pellet is all . I can only shoot one at a time ( except for pistol i can have one in each hand).

Of course thats subject to change at any time ... Like gifted, free, super sale discount, on anything else ..lol

Oh well , looking like I'm fading right . Hmmm ... Earth's rotation maybe?

 

[Hateful McNasty]

So late yesterday from post above I commented on drifted right some .

Being last shots of the day I took it in and checked the gun over for typical things scock screws , mount, hinge ,...

Nothing looked out of the ordinary all good.

So I patched cleaned the barrel , some residue but not bad light discovering.

So this morning still right from about where I left off yesterday..



Good elevation, nice group, but whatever reason that off right ... head scratching..

So ended up 3 clicks worth ( for now)


Ended up doing 4 left.


Sadly still them 2 dropped shots .. ( darn crosmans)

Wow that’s fantastic shooting for sure!
You certainly know that rifle.
That it’s a springer at that distance is impressive, thanks for sharing.
