    Think a button head hex screw would address the trigger contact problem?

    HW/Weihrauch HW50s Update, I Got It Figured Out!

    Wow, I wish I could shoot mine that well offhand! Hats off! I can't shoot well offhand and don't even try unless it's something with a 10" kill zone and very close. But my HW50S .177 of just about any kind of rest, support, sandbag combination isn't the least bit hold or position sensitive...

    What Prevented you from Shooting Today?

    Sunshine. No rain. Yet. Since we's had a spring and summer of 3 or 4 days of rain and then, maybe, 2 days of not-rain, a rainless day is a freaking busy day.

    Average age of shooters

    @Caliber 22 Fun thread, thanks for starting it! I assume you are keeping score, right? So what is the running average age to date? Appears to be heavily weighted towards the geezerhead end of the spectrum, with only a few children under 40 chiming in. I'm loving the responses and stories...

    Average age of shooters

    My average age seems to increase every year, and I feel it! I'm 66.5 and started shooting 22 rifles and .410 shotguns under VERY strict adult supervision before getting my first BB gun, a Crosman 760, for Christmas of '68. After a short break-in period (for me, by my folks) I was turned loose...

    HW/Weihrauch Black walnut season HW50S 177

    When I said abundance I meant thousands of them, literally, from mow-able seedlings to over-mature fencerow ones slowly dying of old age. As for safely shooting up into the tree behind the house and old barn lot, any pellets I will land on our own property. We have 39 acres and nearly all of...

    HW/Weihrauch Black walnut season HW50S 177

    Boy, I wish a nice classic style black walnut stock on it. Something along the lines of a Winchester 70 Super Grade or even a Remington 700 CDL.

    N/A Moved Down From shooter to Spotter

    Do have to keep buying new air rifles and PB's in an ongoing attempt to tempt her into it? I do, but she's beginning to question my motives.

    HW/Weihrauch Black walnut season HW50S 177

    It's black walnut season here at Weedy Hill Farm. We have a ridiculous abundance of black walnut trees. Thanks to the red & gray squirrels they pop up like dandelions everywhere. The nuts are still hanging on the trees, green and in their husks. They make wonderful plinking targets. This one...

    HW/Weihrauch It’s hot and I’m not talking the weather

    Excellent! Congratulations. Tell me: did you actually let your wife see you open the box?? If so I might need some coaching on the finer aspects of spousal information sharing.

    Theoben A Lazy Day Out With the Theobens

    Ahhh, the one from eBay you mentioned earlier? BTW With the exception of the Theoben, your pictures could have been right out back on our property. A fencerow-tye walnut with garlic mustard and honeysuckle at its base, wild grape starting climb the trunk.

    Theoben A Lazy Day Out With the Theobens

    Harrisburg's about a 4 hour, mostly lovely, drive south for me (lovely except for the hateful 260 mile Shamokin Dam Selinsgrove stretch, I mean). Been a few days this summer when I might have made the drive for an AC'd indoor range, especially if your trio of Theoben's were there to be seen...

    Of all of the Theoben rifles

    I appreciate your jest,and the additional info. It seems I have an eye for expensive guns. I've been googlesearching since my last post in an effort to learn a little more (you & your collection keep popping up 😀). I love the lines of those underlevers,if I start shopping it'll be for a...
