I have a Hw50S in 22 cal. The pellet it likes is the 12.65 gr H&N Baracuda Green. You will really enjoy your new rifle. Gary

Went in the hospital yesterday for check up and discuss results from surgery. I’m still in a bit of pain when eating and swallowing and that’s after 6 weeks but it’s getting better. I had transoral robotic surgery, there were clear margins around the invasive stuff which is great but unclear...

Dave it’s good news you have your power back. Got a question for you, how is that older Hw50 going that you were having trouble with. As a side note we just got connected to the NBN (national broadband network). Before I had to connect the iPad through hotspot on my iPhone, always dropped out...

I shoot, play pool, clean my teeth and write left handed, every thing else is done on the other side🤔. I surfed for 50 years as a natural footed surfer until my knees went. Gary

I feel for you Dave, having to clean up after a storm isn’t nice or fun. At our old property we had 92 gum trees on our foot path (verge) and any sort of heavy rain and winds would bring down spears. The ghost gums are noted for dropping their branches and the little Husqvarna used to get a work...

I’m honered.

When we had our big property I used to lay on my back in the shade and shoot the small green pine cones before they opened. (Not the ones directly above me) It was good practice for judging hold under to eradicate pest birds that landed high in the trees. Gary

Well done Dave, that’s a lot of pellets. Which rifle did you use? Gary

Dave I don’t think you’ll miss much with that 22 cal Hw50. Have you tried the H&N Baracuda Greens 12.65 gr. These are the only pellets I shoot in my 22cal HW50s, 22 cal Hw77 Stainless and my 22 cal LGV Challenger Ultra. They are a little bit more pricey but I’ve found them to be the most...

G’day Crow I’ve got a couple of questions for you and there is no rush to answer them. 1. If you shot only one pellet at each target how many pellets would you use assuming you hit the target each time? and 2. How long would this take. Thanks Gary

Is it a Beeman double barrel with duel calibers? Gary

Grabbed the Hw77 Stainless out of the safe. Felt good to shoot even if was only short. First time shooting any air rifle since before going into hospital. Lost 7 kilos in two weeks couldn’t eat anything except custard and scrambled eggs. Bloody pain unbearable. Doctor rang last night with...

Thanks guys for your words of encouragement. As of 6.15am this morning Alfred is 65 kilometres off the coast and has been down graded to a tropical low. So far over 239000 properties have lost power and a lot more is expected. Wind gusts are in the 60 to 100k’s an hour. Many many people have and...

We are into the 7th day of Autumn

Alfred will hit the coast early on Saturday (that’s tomorrow our time)morning as a category 2 cyclone, however the system is unusually expansive and will affect about 4.5 million people. We live about 15 minutes from Rainbow beach and we are about 2 minutes as the crow flys from the bay and...
