    Outshooting the Gun?

    My point isn’t really about whether you can outshoot your gun — it’s more about the mindset around comparing the shooter’s ability to the gun’s — or not comparing them in the first place. It’s like working two jobs — sure, you can compare which one pays more, and we definitely do. But at the...

    Outshooting the Gun?

    I see the phrase “I’ll never outshoot this gun” pop up all the time, but I think this idea is sometimes misunderstood — or misused. I’m not sure how everyone interprets that phrase, but to me, it sounds like people are comparing their own accuracy directly against the gun’s mechanical accuracy...

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    By the way, I have another question. When I decock the rifle and the barrel is just about to touch the cross pin, I hear a fairly loud “click” or “clack” sound. It’s quite noticeable — almost as loud as the sound you get when everything engages at the end of cocking. I’m not entirely sure if...

    Thanks for checking your sights — that’s exactly the kind of firsthand feedback I was hoping for!

    Ambidextrous shooters?

    I started shooting from the right-hand side since I’m right-handed, and that seemed like the “standard” way to shoot. However, my dominant eye is the left one, as my right eye has poor vision. This cross-dominance wasn’t a problem when shooting pistols using the isosceles stance, but it was a...

    Offhand? That’s incredible! Have you been taking part in silhouette matches?

    FWB The 10 meter SSP pistol still exists

    My Hammerli AP20 Pro also gets about two shots per pump stroke. It easily lasts through multiple training sessions before needing a refill. A hand pump definitely feels more than sufficient!

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    I’ve added shims to some of my other sights before, but I can’t really think of an easy way to improve the Weihrauch ones — hence the complaint. Really interesting insights on using open and peep sights at longer ranges. Hitting shotgun shells at 60 yards with open sights is seriously impressive!

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    Yeah, the combination possibilities are awesome — 6 fronts × 4 rear notches = 24 total options! Interestingly, I’ve been shooting my HW30 mostly at 10 meters, and there’s still plenty of room left for elevation adjustment. I have seen a few posts where people mentioned similar complaints...

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    I know, right😄? Glad to hear your symptoms aren't as bad as mine! I didn’t notice this for a long time. You can’t really see it with your eyes, but your fingers can definitely feel it. And once you do notice it — you just can’t unsee it! Now the first thing I do with any iron sights is poke...

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    Thanks to you all for your replies! The title was a bit of a clickbait — sorry about that! :) This obviously isn’t a huge issue, and I know I might be nitpicking here — but that’s only because I genuinely like the sight picture and was impressed by how feature-rich the sight system is. With the...

    Thanks! Fewer people here are interested in shooting, and even fewer in airguns. Great to hear from you!

    HW/Weihrauch Is This the HW30s’ Biggest Weakness?

    I’ve been really enjoying my HW30s — it’s a beautifully made rifle, incredibly smooth and just a joy to shoot. The craftsmanship overall is top-notch, and it’s easy to see why this rifle is so highly regarded. But… there’s one small thing that’s been bugging me — the rear sight. It looks great...
