What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Indoor shooting today , storms and the wind is off the lake so rain is on my shooting platform . Thinking i will shoot the cheap springer Chinese pistol .
Wow the wind just picked up guessing 20 MPH or more The weather guessers are saying 2 to 3 inches more rain today on top of an inch last night . Low water crossings will not be passable . last night had 40 MPH wind . Wonder how far left i would have had to holdover ?

A while ago I ran across this thread https://www.airgunnation.com/threads/hw98-muzzle-brake.1300481/
I bought 2 Delrin muzzle brakes from SpiralGroove and wanted to report back that these are great! Got one for the HW98 and HW95. Haven't fitted the 95 yet but the 98 fit great. Very nice machining, works perfectly as a grip and for visual enhancement.
Just for fun I tried the muzzle brake without the barrel extension:
It's a bear to cock, have to use my belly as a pivot point! Kind of like it though. Going to get the scope back on to see how the balance feels.
Highly recommended (the muzzle brakes, not the shorty 98!
). Thanks @SpiralGroove, I'll be back for more.

I’m getting spoiled, 52F in morning. Took out 4 black squirrels invading, with my Walther Varmite .22. This is a favorite. 
Also shot a Diana 350 mag. .22. Lean and mean. No adjustments nessessary on scope. 
Snow is melting fast and the lake is starting to open. Birds are returning. Crow

Or the "blue bomber", you scored good on that blue stock. If you could get a blue anodized cocking handle it would be.

Waited until later in the day, hoping the wind would lie down, it didn't. Shot the .22 HW35, .177 HW95, and the newly stocked .177 HW30. The bullseyes were safe today, but the silhouettes were not. They require a bit less precision. The 35 in action, the two CS stocked rifles in natural light. Not the killer grained stocks I've seen here, but not bad. And the HW30 deserves a nice stock...I had to make sure my scope position was good, it was..the top is the 95, the bottom the 30.

Today I shot my Beeman R9 in .177, I just shot it in the backyard at some plastic drink bottles about 70 to 80 yards away. Not too much, maybe 15 or 20 shots.

Temp up to 56 today. Liking it. This afternoon I got addicted to a HW50 .22. Couldn’t put down. My 125 Ann. is .22 as well. Tearing up cans with Hades.
The lake is opening. If you open, you can see 2 docks that broke away, and floating in middle of lake.

I shot my grey laminate Hw30 for a few minutes before dark. I finally got to meet my new neighbor today. Looks like I'm getting my long range shooting and hunting privileges back.

Wow! So happy you can continue taking advantage of that amazing vista. Congratulations! I am jealous of your view...

That's really nice, I'd never leave the deck..lol.
You have multiple possibilities with that range.

Late day in the Arkansas summer sun you would. You'll melt. The deck is north facing. It's shaded most of the day but the summer sun cooks it in the afternoon. That's when the front porch gets shade so I move to shooting short range (<93 yards) with BB guns and rimfire.

It looks like you’re shooting north. Bonus, you’re not shooting into the sun throughout the day. Nice setup. Crow

Not any more.
My boat hasn’t seen water in 4 yrs.
I used to jump in it and fly a mile down the lake to fish.
Caught the biggest fish in this lake off my docks, which is my new fishing hole. Plus you can’t get busted on dock. Few more months away to rip lip. Crow

The weather is a complete turn around 58 and rain = flooding. I’m sorry to see my white back drop turn to mud.
Shot the Varmite .22 again, such an infectious rifle. Pic yesterday.
Also sighted in a HW30 .177
Check out the fog. Thick as soup at times. Crow
