That's what I needed to hear, Moe. I started with the 177 Vantage. Then I decided to spring for a Mike Mellick R9 (because, hey, it's a fun hobby), but it was only available in 177 at the time. Not sure why I'd want a 22. I just thought it might be a cheap and easy switch. By the way, what...

This could be a dumb question. Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings. Can a Crosman Vantage NP (Model 30021) be converted from 177 cal to 22 cal by swapping out the barrel?

Oh, that looks a lot better!

Got it out. Thanks all!

I removed the stock rear sight on my Beeman R9. It has a pin sticking up. Is that something that will likely fall out , or should I leave it in? I don’t want to mar it by trying to remove it.

About 50yds. Pretty satisfying when I do hit it.

I live in a rural setting, and I wanted the sound so I would know if I hit it from a fair distance. Yep, four hits up to that point. I’m not gonna say how many misses. Lol

I bought this cowbell with a handle at Tactor Supply for $3.98. I think it’s for calling in you cows or something. It had a plastic handle grip that I slid off. I can now stick the handle in the ground wherever I want it and then have a good bell target. The steel is pretty mild. It...

I never would have thought of that. Thanks for the information. I guess it's all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

Thanks for the warning! So far, that hasn't happened, but I sure don't want it to. I may be rethinking this. My thought was that the give of the spinning spoons would prevent ricochets. I'm wondering how the gongs are different from the spoons in this regard?

Here's an el-cheapo target I made that's actually pretty fun to shoot. I took an old yard sign (plenty of those around lately) and put some thrift store spoons on it. These were light weight spoons, so I bent the handles around the wires. Next time I'll drill heavier spoons and use wire ties...

That's funny! Seems like good advice, but I can't decide if I should get the S99 suspenders or the S99xs which are a little wider with more holding power. Hm... I guess I just have to get both. lol

Thanks for the info! So far, I've gotten everything from Pyramid Air. Super happy so far. I have tried H&N, Crossman, and RWS. Now I need to try JSBs. Question: if you could only keep one, would it be the R9 or HW50s? Just looked at Flying Dragon... oh geesh, I think I might be in trouble. lol

Hey, welcome. I'm new, too.
