What springer did you shoot today?

[.20calguy]

Too many. Don’t want to know. Getting tight for room, but always room for 1 more. Crow

I need to build hangers. What do you use Crow? Simple or not so much? I know they look good!

 

[.20calguy]

I like springers or better yet for targets SSP 10 meter guns . just something so simple and reliable.

Me too!

 

[.20calguy]

I shoot this one pretty much every day. I have stopped putting it away. It is always in the corner of the living room and ready to shoot. My wife I am sure would rather not look at it anymore.

I've been looking at it a long time! I still haven't bought it.

I've been looking at it a long time! I still haven't bought it.

Bite the pellet and buy one! I have bought 6 in the last few years and kept 2. Just know that all 6 needed buffers. I can rebuild them in less than an hour now. You don’t need to take apart the trigger train so they are not terrible to rebuild. The bottom one is a high mileage example I bought from the Netherlands. It is the better shooter of the 2 so don’t worry about looking for a creampuff.

Ok so I got home and found my HW80 just where the UPS picture displayed it to be!!!

I unboxed it and looked through the paperwork and according to the literature that displayed the actual FPS and ftlbs of energy it turns out my HW80 is actually generates 13.5 ftlbs.

So this is actually fine for me as I really didn’t want 20 ftlbs but still 13.5 is kinda light for a “magnum” springer

And while I have not checked the velocity yet I just again want to say that it’s kinda light for a MAGNUM, THE work Horse, the Scope Destroyer

Let me know what you think

I just used scrap wood in my shop. Slight angle, just clamped a board to one side of drill press fpr angle, every 2 inches works. I rested the bottom of rail on top of base board to carry the weight. 1/2 inch dowel.

At 2 inch you can alternate them to get more on. Crow

That Air Arms blueing is next level. Not that anythings wrong with the wood either.

Todays target shows my progression through six 5-shot groups at 40 yards off the sticks. Cold gun and cold me, then it gets better as I get into my form and trigger squeeze. These are a little high from my POA compared to the last target posted.

What are these exactly and what kind of power do they put out? FWB's, expensive?

 

[crowski]

Took a HW30 .20. the best of all cal. IMO.

From the first shot to the last with serious accuracy. Also jumped on the black 50. Didn’t get enough yesterday. Crow
Should be guys out there ice fishing this time of year.

How deep is that lake?

 

[crowski]

How deep is that lake?

Might go 30 -40 ft. Controlled waterway. If I go right, Atlantic ocean. Go left Lake Superior. Great fishing right off docks. Need some floating targets. Crow

Thanks,
I have a drill press and a Forstner bit that would make clean holes like those. I allways admired how nice your racks looked, but I couldn't find a pic of it to save my life

I just used a good twist drill, way faster. You have a zillion holes.
Here’s a rack for pistols. Again mine is scraps. Two rails same as rifles would be same deal.

This measurement works for everything I have. Holds them nice. If I get more pistols I’ll trash these and make a rail

My dowels came from my dad’s shop who passed 2003. They were rungs from a babies crib. That’s recycling. Crow

Which pistol do you like the most, which is most accurate? The one on the bottom FWB, what kind of power do they make, and what do they cost?
Thanks.

Good advice.

Afternoon shoot. Sunny and 62F. crazy. HW 90 .20. I thought I had the .25 cal. This gun is so accurarte. 1 inch hole 47 yds. easily rings the bell. I ordered a .22 cal. last week.

The R9 .20 another magician. My first .20 cal.

This could be the prefect hunting gun. Crow

 

[Septicdeath]

I have not posted in awhile. But shoot most every day. Some pictures I haven't posted. Lately. It might help if I took my phone out with me.

Probably the one I just got HW45 .20. I like the .20 cal. Don’t know why. Great shooter.

The FWB 65 is probably most accurate, hands down. I think it’s a 10 meter gun.
All mine shoot under 500 fps. Over 500 it becomes restricted. I don’t have that licence.
I’m not experienced with these at all. I’m a horrible shot but getting better.
I like shooting the HW70 .177, easy fun gun. Shoot this the most.

Your prices are way better than mine. Crow

Thanks, I wouldn't mind getting one, they are cool. Is the FWB a single stroke pneumatic or a spring gun? The HW's, ones a spring and ones a pneumatic? I imagine the pneumatic is easier to shoot. Thanks for the info.
