    PCP then springer?

    I have to learn what to feed my 22Lr that's for sure. It's like you expecting good work out of me feeding me Brussel sprouts. Lol, I'll have to PM you sometime about that 22 Lr subject off the forum. I really do enjoy a bit of peesonal entertainment in a post. I hope you didn't get slapped. 👍

    Crosman Crosman 2240 Radical Trigger Mod

    Nice work! Mine needs something done, it's a terrible trigger release. One of the better triggeres are on old Sheridans, and it's a one peice trigger! Note; a small radius on Sheridans sear. The way many triggers are, especially in lower price point guns, it seems that manufacturers are more...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Thanks Crow. The motivation to get it done is what you bring! 👍

    Another of those... please help me decide on a air rifle.

    My squirrel killer has been my 72 Bluestreak since it was new. In the early 90s, I bought a .20 cal Beeman R1. That gun had quite a recoil and required hold awareness, but none the less it was a deadly squirrel gun. I had some really nice shots with it. Today, I own three PCPs, and two of...

    The old Air Gun Nation

    Similar to the Old Vet, myself. Sheridans made lifers out of young airgunners.

    Let’s see them work benches

    I have not set my benches up here as yet. They're buried under stuff at the moment. I have been throwing a drop cloth over the kitchen table to get by. Bench pics from seven or eight years ago.

    Another of those... please help me decide on a air rifle.

    If I were to venture into the woods for a squirrel hunt, I would take either the the FX Crown .30 cal, or my HW95.20 cal. The HW 97k .20 is to heavy and clumsy for me, when away from the bench and a seat. Lol

    PCP then springer?

    I have yet to out shoot my FX Crown with any other gun I own, and I have a 10/22 with a Kidd fluted bull barrel. Still though, I shoot the springers and the 22Lr more often.

    Beeman I couldn't resist 🤪(Update it's finally here)

    I keep hearing this and for fun, go check all the major pellet sources and find plenty.of of stock to be had. The lack of variety has a little more truth to it, but the pellets that work are usually FTT or JSB 13.73. All that variety would just be setting on your shelf as the ones that didn't...

    Sheridan What is a Sheridan? Really

    May of 69!

    PCP then springer?

    I have a handful or more of any way you can deliver a pellet, PCP being the most recent. I also recently purchased a set of springers that I had missed out on back in the day, and of those the 97K gets the most airtime. That's why these guys call it a rabbit hole. 😁

    Daisy I was gifted 2 air pistols, a Beeman 800 and a Daisy 717. I need some help please.

    You have a couple of nice vintage pistols there. What I think I would recommend is getting a shooter in your hands while you figure those out. A Bemman P17 is a single stroke pneumatic, that is affordable, accurate, with good sights, and a nice trigger. Then you can get shooting. I recommend .7...

    Daisy I was gifted 2 air pistols, a Beeman 800 and a Daisy 717. I need some help please.

    I was gifted a 717 month or two ago. It came with all the new replacement parts. I am handy and logical so I rebuilt it with the new parts and it leaked. Second time, it leaked again. I put the old original parts in it and that fixed it. It is now a quite accurate shooter. It feels like a dud...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Somebody made the mistake of telling me that once.😁

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Devolope the woods in back, and build a concealed shooting bench. I have a building with a deck connecting to the house that will do nicely, but will involve some serious work for this 69 year old and his chainsaw. I have a little over a hundred yards back there to the property line. I will...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    The last shoot at the 75-yard range. Playing with the Sideshot and an old iPhone with the .20cal 97K BlueLam, during a lul in the wind.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    That is no good during tornado warnings. Electrical archs and flashes are the foot prints of those guys.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    With the wind we've been having, any hanging target is a moving target.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I was thinking that you might weld a bolt to the targets and screw them into the springs.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    I use a cell phone to record with using a short microphone stand with clamps to hold it. The same stand that I clamp my pocket chrony, or flashlight on.
