What springer did you shoot today?

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Tested out newly installed Morgan recoil pad today. Didn’t like the look of the stock black one with Hector’s CF shroud and HPM. Took awhile to find a Morgan with the aluminum rather than the hard black plastic they’re using now. Worth the wait I think. This gun is of course both a hammer and a laser. And a workout shooting offhand like I did today ha ha ha.

Took 3 rifles out to try the FX crony. HW97 .20 first up. Lazer. No pic. Next HW97 .22 Black

It’s one I could sell because I have 2 .22 cal. Can’t part with it. Soon a spring and piston seal is waiting.
Last up a Diana 460 .22. Like throwing a hammer Lazer guided. Might have to turn this one onto a few fur balls.

This crony works flawlessly. Crow

Awesome, and so easy to use. I can't wait to try out the Garmin version. FX gives more info from what I see.

Today before the rain came I continue on practicing my shooting stick hold with the mighty Prosport. There was a strong wind this afternoon
and I need wind practice as well.
After checking my zero I decided to recheck my holdover dope. But this time instead of shooting at lines and dots on paper, I used my rabbit with a 1/4" KZ. I was able to verify my hold from 9 yards out to 20 yards, before I got tired. Doing it this way I think I'm getting a better "real world" hold for actual field target use. I would not call it good until I knocked it down 2 or 3 times with a clean shot through the 1/4" KZ, not hitting any steel on the field target. Now when the wind allows I still have to verify out to 55 yards, but will go with a bigger KZ once I get to 40 yards, probably a 3/8" or 1/2".
Here's the rabbit set out at 20 yards before quitting for the day. The tape runs back into my garage another 30' or so.

Close up... Note the squirrel and crow out at 41 and 42 yards, these are new and reset (no string)

Here's a not so good view of the rabbit at 20yards through the scope on 16 power. It's not easy balancing the gun on sticks while trying to focus the iphone camera one handed..lol. Trust me the real view is much better than this.

The mighty Prosport is resting now. It shot extremely well for me today.

80’s classics day, got to shoot 50 or so pellets at can and spinners. Shooting these two together is a blast. Really points out just how easy the FWB 124 is to cock, and just how short the cocking stroke is on the Diana 45. Shoot a little better offhand with the FWB than the Diana. To be fair I have more time with the 124 than the 45, and need to clean and lube the trigger on Diana. It still went 3/6 on 3/4” Shoot n See dot to finish. The FWB of course went 3/3 so Diana still playing catch up ha ha ha. Both are nice shooting old rifles.

The Pro Sport is in a class of it’s own. Love your weather. Crow

Two guns today, windy. First up, love this gun HW85 .22. Really like the muzzle ends for jacking in the cold weather.

Totally terrorized the targets.
Next a TX200 .22. to deliver the lead. All the Air Arms shoot well.

Temps. in the mid 20’s. Had to stop because of blowing snow. This is now.

Guess what I’m doing tomorrow. Crow

I think you have one or two of every air rifle made?
Yes our winters can be mild or it can and sometimes does get bad, but usually only in Jan and Feb. Next week temps will drop in the teens at night and calling for possible snow or mix. It really hasn't been below mid 20's so far, but nice in the afternoons, upper 40's to almost 60 at times.

I remember as a kid Mom could always come up with old towels. When the winter storms hit I could shoot a towell filled box in the basement with my Daisy 25. Now I miss the Daisy but especially my Mom. That happens quite often as you navigate the age of 70 plus. And
the fog makes my eyes water. Be Well Brothers of the Springer, Bandito.
