Thanks so much! I have found one, actually more than one. Color me shocked. I am new here but I really like Airgun Nation.
I edited this post up top to say thanks because if two people actually found a couple of these, then I am sure that more people checked a junk and parts drawer for me even though they didn't have one or message. That is really cool.
Hello this is a weird one and I know I'm going to have to probably wait a while.
My hope that if you come across one, then this will be a weird enough item that you remember me. Rear Sight Hammerli Pneuma.
I want to teach my son open notch sites. The kid is 9 and he is just too good already from prone with a scope.
I need to back him down so that he learns to love the fundamentals of shooting and not just the fundamentals of using a scope.
Here is why this is so important. He is shooting a .30 Delta at a 4 inch target at 110 yards.
On Saturday we shot in some tall grass I spot for him, he says "I'm on" and for the first time I didn't say "send it" I said "hold for wind". I didn't realize I'd never taught him this. He is not good enough to place natural point of aim beyond lowering magnification and keeping the the target in the scope. He has to muscle it too much but we will get there.
When I told him to open both eyes, keep the target in the scope and sprinkle some dust near him with his left hand and look down scope to see if the wind was blowing the grass the same direction, we had to take a break because he realized that he was about learning how to use wind and he laughed hard because this idea was so novel and fun for him.
With a little coaching we decided it was a 7mph wind consistent all the way out to target about 45 degrees from R to L
I poop you not he said, "dad it's only half blowing to the left, should I hold half over?" I almost poop my pants. 45 degrees is indeed half of blowing directly half way across and you should hold for half what we said. It was a .2 mil so he could have held dead on and been fine. But if he favored the reticle further to the right than that, just feeling the Kentucky windage of it, it could have forced a miss and then a lesson. But instead I skipped that and showed him how to dial 2 clicks into the wind and hold dead on. He is so hungry to learn more rules because he magically seems to understand some of the reasons and reasoning for the rule and how to apply it and explain it.
So I need that adjustable rear knotch site for the Pneuma really bad. Get him back down to .22 make the target harder to hit.
