Great shooting i see , even with dirty glasses

All my targets are 50 feet or more. (16 yards ) out to 40 yards , no my 717 or 777 will not hit anything at 40 but at 50 feet they are super .

yeah right on that...in my day I was shooting in the expert class...35 years later all busted up...maybe not so bad..lol...anything more than 10 meters with this gun would be a shot in the dark...but ok... lets find out...I will set the sights in for 25 yards and see if I can hold a paper plate.....BB's are unpredictable at that range ...It's going to be more luck then skill

I have always been rather dismissive of trying to turn a pistol into a rifle (just get a rifle!) but my mind has shifted a little after I got tempted by a folding stock for the HW45.
Had great fun today with it, but the cheap red dot did not deal well with the recoil, and being so close to my eye, it just made the red 'smudge' cover more of the target.
At least I have proved to myself that it is possible to mount a sight at the back end of the top 'slide', but it just isn't the right thing for this set up. Next time it will be a better quality sight, further from my eye!

I also gave my 0.22 Beeman P17 a trip to the range, sporting a BSA 1.5x scope, not too bad at 10m after the workout I had just had with the 45.
