On, Canada
I was on my range blasting away with two favorites. A HW77k and a HW97kt both in .25 cal. These two guns are the best, really enjoyable as well as reliable. Neither has a spring kit yet, but act as though they do. When hitting steel they let you know with a solid ring. Another bonus is so easy to watch the shot.

This pair is hard to put down, never get enough. Prefect on my range 25 yd. to 45 yds.
Do many of you shoot the .25 cal. springer?
Went to AGS to buy paper targets, I”m out and so are they.
I did check out the new Air Arms Laminate and Black Stain. I liked the black stain. It changed in colour from black to purple, looked really cool. I was eye balling another Pro Sport which I don’t need, it sold about 2 hours before I got there. Problem solved. Someone got a great deal and gun.

It is a 50/50 deal if i lived anywhere within 3 hours of a airgun shop . i would have so many guns and even more pellets , i have way to many pellets , have to stop and shoot for a few years , just today i got 8 more tins , 4 of each just to try out .

I hear you. I’m within minutes of one of Canada’s largest distributor of air guns. It’s like a black hole. Got my name on a parking space there. Don’t even want to think of my investment there. 10 tins .20 cal. and a scope last week, a red dot and ordered 20 tins JSB 15.89 .20 cal. today. Major addiction.
I shoot way more in the winter. Crow

Do I shoot .25?
I really enjoy shooting a .25 Webley Tomahawk. FTT's at 725 fps. Only weighs 7.6 lbs. . Beautiful walnut stock. Always a favorite. There's nothing else like the Tommy. They shoulda made a million of them in .25. Sadly, they're very rare. Sad for you!
I have a gorgeous one in fiddleback walnut but .22 cal that I rarely shoot because I favor the .25 so much.

Unfortunately I’m not at all familiar with the Webley. Read nothing but positive on them. Enjoy. Crow

I would love to try a .25. I was thinking of an HW80. It has a little more power for that bigger .25 cal pellet.

I have a HW80 and a HW90 in .25 as well. The 90 is second to none. And my 80 has a Vortek + spring in it and don’t like. Have to call Tom.
‘The 77 and 97 work perfectly at 25 - 45 yds. Crow

Well lots of no longer available or out of stock on things here as well . Simple things that youd never think were hard to get everyday items.. like targets i long stoped buying and just print special occasion ones . Like nra ones no gots but the cheesier non official ones available but 50 for $12 or silly deals..lol

I put a fresh xl ink cartridges in this hp printer and printed 10 of toms targets and the low ink warning came on .. i was like what the ???? So them cartridges aint cheap if thats all im getting from one and the xl sized too boot.. 🥴

Ya, ill draw my own ..lol. its just show a group size at a ranged distance not scoring for a win .. Crazy. I think i can judge a grouping at xx yards without needind a " official" target .. lol😉

This is the .22 Webley Tomahawk. Slade tuned. The stock is insane up close. I wouldn't take 2 Weihrauchs for it. You can always buy a Weihrauch. 😛

You got bragging rights. I’m surprised there’s not drool stains all over.
I worked with thousands of board feet of hardwood over the years. Rare do you see this. Head to toe. Nice score. Crow

I had a printer. The printer was inexpensive. The ink was ridiculous expensive. For the cost, you would expect it to be done in gold leaf. Good scam. I don’t own a printer now. Crow

I went to a Regular printer , Commercial type not a copy shop , had a target i wanted , thick stock / 500 pieces @ $40.00 . That's .08 each
Click to expand...
Use to have that here . I made up stuff like targets , my custom dive log pages , whatever and could not beat the price for a real print job not the kinkos type..lol

Then maybe his print shop would not of gone under if the pricing was higher in the end ? Now it just the kinkos type around .. honestly no good deals with them ..lol
