What did you do airgun related today.

Just easy stuff this morning, made an aluminum thread protector for the Mark 1 since it's now polished. I had made a black Delrin protector before.

I got up at 5am just like every other day, make some coffee, walked my dog , when I came back the hardest decision which rifle should I take tomorrow to the desert? The King, the Impact, the crown, the alpha or the Vixen, In the meantime I put air in my great white , charge the battery on my alpha wolf, check my inventory to see if what I need to order. Seems I’m going to the desert I will take 2 rifles. Be safe everyone
 
I went out to my field target course. Just to see how long it would take. I left the house at 9:30 showed up at 10:00 took all my stuff from the parking lot to the sight in bench. Shot about ten shots to warm up and sight in .
Then shot 14 lanes of field target. Two shots per target and three targets per lane for a total of 84 shots. I got a 70. Then I packed up and drove home. It took an hour plus 45 of total drive time so two hours to shoot 84 shots of field target. I got home befor 11:00.
I can do this any day of the week I want. My work schedule has me off at 3:00 two days a week. So I get to shoot four days a week. I don’t know of any permanently set up field target airgun parks. But here in Iowa we have one.

Cast slugs today. This is 490, sized .459-275gn, just missed my mark of 500. Unfortunately these take me a good while since I'm not good at casting, at least 1/4 is usually culled back in the pot. Plastic tube are from router bits at work, great for keeping slugs from getting beat up. 5 slugs per tube, can get 450 round in a 30 cal ammo box.

Got more practice on my Gamo varmint power 22. Felt great about my accuracy and zeroing at 20yards yesterday. Then tested at 30 yards and left with questions. Also found this cool forum. Also realized my tool for pest control might turn into a hobby and now have envy for an hw77k. I’m in trouble.
