What springer did you shoot today?

I was playing with a fairly new HW30N with a scope. I had an old high gloss Leupold 3-9 AO air gun scope, stamped airgun on focusing bell. At first I tried a standard Sportsmatch one piece mount and it shot so low it was unreal. I ran out of adjustment in the scope, so recentered the reticule and got one of the Sportsmatch droop adjusting mounts. Initally zeroing it brought me from about 18 inchs low to 8. so I could adjust with the scope adjustments, but I was thinking I was getting close to the limits. so started shimming. At firs one shim of soda can brought it up a little, so went with 3 layers and much better Zeroed it at 10 meters then tried out at about 30 and it was dead on a swinger at that range. For the final zero, dusk was fast approaching and it was hard to see pellet holes in a 10meter airgun target so I used a 6 o'clock hold. just resting the target black on the horizontal crosshair and got a little 3 shot group that looked more like two shots.

I don’t know how you guys do it. 98F here today with a breeze. Nasty. That’s small potatoes. We have wild fires near by. Crow

Hope those fires stay away from you. Back in 2011 we had them everywhere here in E Texas. Smoke everywhere.. I was working in another town about 50 miles away and actually drove through an area where the grass and low brush along the highway was burning. Also saw an area where the fire jumped one of the interstate highways. One lady I was working with had a video she took up on Lake of the Pines of forrestry service planes skimming down and picking up water to drop on the fires. One of the airports must have had over a dozen of those planes on the ramp.
Our grandson was born on Aug 11 that year and we delayed going over to see him until the fire danger subsided, in about six weeks.
