so you have dogs ? I had a motorized one probably 50 years old , worked great actually cutting the grass like scissors instead of whacking the ends off leaving ragged tears instead of smooth cuts . That was on the city lot , here my front lawn is 70 x 300 feet i have a zero turn 52 inch cut 28 HP motor ! it will do 8 MPH but not very comfortable going that fast .I bought a new old fashion no motor push mower. Thinking I would get a better work out. It was going great till I discovered the meaning of s#*+ hitting the fan.

I used to love cutting the grass with my John Deere zero turn. 54 inch cutting deck,14 k’s an hour. We had 97 gum and iron bark trees on our footpath, zooming around them was a breeze. Used to take me 3 hours to mow what I could mow, we had just over 6 acres of land that I could mow the rest was dense bush and creek.

One Squirrel less to eat bird seed , Shot with PP700 S A open sights , holding a pistol scope on the PP700 didn't work well , eye box was to small , long eye relief but if my eye was not in a very straight line with the scope center , maybe rested might be better ?

I used the metal pp750 baffles I accidentally got from Wes at AAF , And put them in my tactical Gauntlet SL 22. There metal , fit better have a smaller hole work better. I also put some clear plastic tubing on the Gauntlet barrel. Much more Quiet now. OV.

I was looking at my new scope caps and noticed a couple tabs on the inside of the eye piece lid.
It can hold a piece of paper! How cool is that?
I made a dope card to match my big sheet and cut it out . It pops into the lid.
Tomorrow I am going to shoot a 72 shot field target course. 4 lanes 3 targets per lane and 2 shots per target. Three loops. I’m not going to move the targets.
I spent today dialing in the gun. Tomorrow it will be the first time trying out the new course with 12 targets in four lanes and I’m going to move the targets all around . So I don’t know the distance. I will record the distance to each target and kill zone size and figure out the Troyer scale.
Should be fun.

Drizzling rain all day here. Melted down about 60lbs of lead, 3:1 roofing lead:wheel weights. Then cast 500ish slugs for my .457 Challenger Elite, going to be ready is USPS ever finds the new barrel they lost.
Also found this whole shed Blacksnake skin in my building, just a bit over 4 feet. With all the field mice around here he's got plenty to eat.

mounted an old ( b4 2000 ) old center point red dot on my PP700 S A . .177 . Started sighting it in . got it on target and in one hole (20 yards ) another in the same hole then one 3/4 inch in another direction ( side note : gun was in a vice on a tripod ) so i check everything level on the tri pod /level on the vice / level on the gun , all matching . move poa to another bull . single hole 2 pellets and another flyer ? so then i remember it has been maybe 1500 pellets DOH!
8 patches through the barrel and 5 shots =one single hole . put my pellet score plug in and still one single hole . IT was the vice to blame for the single hole

I designed a 3D cradle to secure my air tank to my shooting bench. It's raining so I got creative, great accomplishment for someone who knows nothing about 3D printing.
