What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski

Finally got a "round tuit " actually have a real one from the '40's and a wooden one also ;
So any way i traded Scopes on a TX200 , old one for the new one = Athlon 10x 42 fixed power . i got for Bird feeder Squirrel patrol .
Sighted it in and shot a few almost single hole (just a bit out of round ) holes in a splatter target Squirrels will not know they have no brain matter in their noggin's .
'EDIT : also tried H&N Hornet (with the metal tip @ 9.7 GR . shot the same as the 8.64 FTT's .

Had the pleasure to shoot a HW50 .22 Ann. Put a TbT kit in it last winter. So accurate. Love the red.

I’ve been trying to find someone who makes stocks in Canada. Can’t ship over border. I can get a gun but not a stock.
‘That stock is a beauty. Lucky. Enjoy.
The best I can do so far is buy a gun with Walnut stock from AoA. Crow

Got the crony out and gave the HW95 .177 a run in the morning. FTT 8.44
If not too hot, already 95F. I’ll crony the 90 .20 down a few bar. CROW

Took the 350 magnum "Diana"
Out back to try the last 2 tins of pellets I had Gamo red fire 7.87
, and she hated those. Then I found her sweet tooth which I never expected after reading about the " Best pellets for a 350 " the only pellets" I can use in my Sig pistol which I keep in a separate box away from my big box of .177 is the 7 grain AIR BOSS match competition air pistol. A flat nose wad cutter.
These things were moving fast
at an average 982.43 with 15 fpe. I came up with a theory.
If the springers with short barrels are more accurate then they are not being effected as much by the movement of the recoil from the spring. Therefore a faster moving pellet exiting the barrel sooner will remain closer to the point of aim.
Anyway she shot her first 3 dime size 5 shot groups. I can't wait to try some JSB EXACT 7.33
with a 5.2 head , and see if I can stack a few OV.
Edit : I ordered theJSB EXACT RS 4.5 MM not 4.52 as I remembered the 10.5g Crosman Pirhana in 4.5 fit very tight.

This gun is cool. HW90 .20. JSB 13.??
First reading is at 18 bar. 5 shots. I didn’t feed the right grain in crony. 
16 bar
14 bar
12 bar
10 bar
Dirty accurate at all bar, I left it at 10 bar. The jacking got easier as the bar declined.

When the temp finally dropped to 90 this evening I went out and shot my FWB 124. They’re such sweet guns. Stood at 20 yards and just wore a couple targets out after I remembered how it likes to be held. Really enjoying the Hawke 2 x 7 scope. Might end up with a few more.

Hey Septic I shot one of yours. Haven’t shot this gun in close to 5 yrs. It’s .22. I was curious on its speed. JSB 15.89. Not tuned by Mike M. Great shooting gun. 
Also shot a HW50 .177. Great accuracy. Vortek spring.
