Hello everyone,
I know everyone has heard the old saying “ it’s like riding a bicycle, you just don’t forget”. Well shooting different air rifles is surely not like the bicycle thing! I have shot my Diana Stormrider all week and although it doesn’t have a great trigger, it really isn’t too bad with a pull of 2-1/2 pounds. I have not shot my RAW for just over a week and decided to shoot the 30-yard Challenge with it this morning. The RAW only needs 6-ounces for the pull so it is a lot lighter than the Stormrider. Anyway I get my target set up and settle down at the bench and get a good look through the scope and BANG. What the heck....
.... old mussel memory expecting to set the first stage on the trigger at 2-1/2 pounds and I have a wayward pellet. I said to myself, hey dummy this is the RAW, remember it is only 6-ounces. OK throw that target away and put up a practice target and relearn how to shoot again....

, and I was inside my shop??? I probably had shot at least 300 rounds with the Stormrider that week so my poor ole brain just was a bit confused. Oh well.
