What springer did you shoot today?

Got to spend some time with the little HW30S today. The Leupold 3-9 EFR is a perfect match. I was shooting the JSB 7.33 Exacts with decent results but I thought I might experiment with the FTT Green 5.71 grain. I did clean the barrel really well before trying the new pellets...They did pretty good for an initial round at 22 meters considering I was caffeinated and in a hurry. I'm pretty sure they could do even better but for now all critters better beware out to 30 meters!
Nice gun. Can’t beat a 30 with a club.
I always told my daughter to get rid of the squirrels. Renters moved out of her house. Tree Rats filled her wall with nuts and food plus got in the attic. Lucky they didn’t cause a fire. Crow
 
Spent a little quality time yesterday with my R9 .177. at 30 yds.

Theoben Evolution .177...Haven't shot it in months...it wasn't the kind of day to shoot impressive types of groups considering how windy it was today...Light .177 pellets out of a 12 fpe gun and wind just don't mix...but the gun is a joy to shoot and functioned perfectly and the numbers were the same as the last time I shot it. All groups shot sitting in a chair not benched @ 25y... the JSB 8.44s had a SD of 3 the 7.9 CPHPs 5.

Thanks. That rifle never misses, I do. On those rare days I can one hole 5 shots.
Have same issues daily. Crow

Nice to see I'm not the only one that draws his own targets. Nice group especially for 25 yards. ;)
 
Took these two black beauties out this morning. Both awesome rifles. I feel so lucky to have this LGU Varmint

And the snow keeps coming. This is a dream gun. Accuracy seems to be its specialty. Out of the box the smoothest rifle, no doubt. Been said a million tines, too bad, no more.

‘Now being a HW97 Blackline, this one has a reputation to live up to and it does. Both guns are .22 cal. and begging for a spring kit because they both have spring chatter. Treat to shoot both. Crow
 
Beautiful sunny day but way windy too shoot. I have "wind socks" (homemade) on my target stands at 25 - 60 yards at 5 yard increments. All are flying straight out. Yep 15+ mph wind.

Oh well, one benefit of retirement...I'll try again tomorrow.
I just came in, I was tied in to the bench. Windy here this afternoon. Only shot 50 rounds with something special, a HW30 .177. Put a Vortek in it. Nite and day.

It could hit any target I had up. Such an easy gun. Have an Air Max 2x7x32, what a perfect match. Crow

Actually shot my TX200 at bullseye's first time today H&N FTT 8.64 20 yards ,5 shot groups black is size of dimeView attachment 334306

Got to like the quality of Air Arms. Nice shooting. That would make any fly nervous.
I had my TX out today, but quickly put away. I find disengaging the cocking arm tight to release. Today was 25 F. and fingers didn’t like the release. The 97’s and 77’s have a button to push which I find easier. Crow
 
I shot my Diana model 48 in .177 for the first time in about four years. Wow, doing so was a real work out for me. Been shooting too many co2 and low powered springers and forgot just how hard cocking the beast was. I have a FWB 300S that is also a side lever gun which is very easy to cock and shoot. Getting old can be challenging:) Having fun any way.

Got a few stubborn ones myself. Get your self a HW30. “You will take back things, you didn’t even steal”, they’re that good. We only get old once. Crow
I shot my BSA Airsporter Stutzen today. Very windy and cold so not much fun.
Not familiar with gun. Enjoy.
Don’t like the wind. Crow
Wow.,Nice movement on the wood.
Not too shabby on the shooting. Thanks for sharing. Crow
My FWB 80, recoiless air pistol. standing up bullseye style, at soda cans 15 yard range. They ended up being well ventilated.
The recoilless are so cool. I have a few but haven’t spent any time with them.
Cans pay the price so nicely. Crow
