What springer did you shoot today?

I managed an evening 35 min plinking session! I set up a target at 20 yards, my KYL was at 30 yards. It’s fun nailing the KYL at that distance with a little springer. Only about 10 CPHP left. I’m really looking forward to see that this rifle will do with JSB lead.

Had about 45 minutes of light after a late dinner. Good thing as tomorrow is scheduled to be the 13th rainy Saturday in a row.
HW35 .177 Baracuda 8 8.44
My longest distance.

I could get another dozen yards tabling in the garage, then across the deck, but this is going to be my spot for a while.

I like setting the bar low.
It leaves plenty of room for improvement. 🤙
Nice setup all around!

I'm thinking about a range finder, what are you using? I like that view format.

Best regards, Mike

I still haven't figured out what a KYL is?

KYL = Know your limits , the one i gave you is one ,but usually a 10 target model placed at farther and farther distances as the shooter progresses . KYL means you stop b4 you miss one . You miss one and you get no score for that round . Even though you hit the first 9 spinners , you miss and you get 0 .

Out at the range this morning with my Browning leverage. I was ready to do some sight in today and maybe some field target practice tomorrow.
But this old girl did it all in 45 minutes.

This is a tuned field target gun with an old leapers 12x scope. It was tuned with a lot of help from Mike Melick at flying dragon.

I made a first shot and then set that as the aim point. It put ten in a hole under the bullseye.
I actually turned the top turret to zero and shot the next ten in that sort of line.
It was me aiming right and left and just being stunned .
So I did a rough sight in from 10-55 yards.
Then I went to the field target course and cleared a lane on the first try. I did miss one of the reset shots because I flinched . But it knocked down and reset three targets twice set at 15 25 and 45 yards . That was it. Gun is ready for use.

I am lending it to a friend who wants to get into field target. I won’t let him spend money till he can get a one hole group with this.

First day of seven shooting this weeks gun , TX200 .177 H&N FTT 8.4 . Stayed within the 1/4 inch 10 ring for 20 shots and eliminated the center dot 9 times . N50 target / Sorry no pictures .my I phone will not send pic. Need to find a 15 year old to fix it .
 
Got time after supper to shoot. Grabbed a Diana 34 .22. When I got to my bench it turned into a .177. Bought this gun used. Someone did a really nice tune on it. View attachment 571778Deadly accurate. 2 misses all night. Impressive gun. Crow
So what did you mean it turned into a .177 did you think you bought a .22?
What .177 pellets were you using.?
