Introduce myself

I missed this response, until now about 10 months later. Lol
I shoot powder every couple of weeks and Air nearly daily. I have been using accurate guns, then stretching to the edge of their range to introduce the long range challenge.
I'm shooting from a bench, and primarily plinking.
My PCP, a Crown .30 cal is too accurate and powerful for my range. It is actually more accurate than my Kidd 10/22 at the moment.
I recently bought a .22 caliber change kit for the Crown so I can cool its jets.
In the meantime I started shooting springers to fill the challenge. Springers add even more handicap with their recoil and dwell time.
I've always been considered a good shot, but I have a lot to learn from the benched guns and sometimes wonder if I just been a lucky shot!
I hope all is well.

I have my fun with working on and plinking with Daisy lever guns. (To each his own) In my youth I was on a team of indoor prone shooters using 22 cal powder burners. These days the little plinkers help to fill the gap of lost trigger time. Stay safe. RussI missed this response, until now about 10 months later. Lol

I have a load of Daisys and grandkids and neighbors to shoot them. I just bought a Daisy 853 Avanti, to shoot some paper with. I also have a set of Daisy SSP pistols that are great recoiles shooters with excellent triggers. I was hoping the Avanti would be a rifle equivalent to the pistol, but it isn't. It has decent accuracy, but the trigger is like shooting a recurve bow.

No I'm down in Louisiana.
I got the Avanti from Airguns of Arizonas recent "Pe-Owned" sale. The 717, and 747, were both gifts, from awesome freinds, and the 7 lever guns were from Academy.

As my old man would have said, Louisiana ain't that far. It's a short walk if you run! Lol If you ever get on YouTube, check out Daisy lever gun fun.No I'm down in Louisiana.
