I’ve got time on my hands. If I can’t work on yard I’m shooting. This is my possy this morning. Started off with “Greeny” named after Peter Green’s guitar, originator of Fleetwood Mac. This gun almost shots like his guitar playing. My bells took a beating. Another long barrel .22 cal. This gun...

Yesterday I had lazer surgery on my shooting eye. A few months ago I kept cleaning my glasses, until I realized it wasn’t my glasses. Went got eyes checked. Cataracts. Right eye , my shooter eye. If I waited much longer I’d be using a white cane. Today I shot a R9 and a HW98 both .20 cal. Wow...

Love rain days. This morning I shot 3 guns in common with the Weihrauch stainless version. It sure is a durable finish. And for a change they look good, they dress up nicely. ‘First up is a gem HW97 .20. If I notched this for tree rats, it would be saw dust. A gun you can measure everything to...

Today was cleanup time on the range after winter. Here’s what I started with. Just a mess. Broken pole. Went and got the tools on this gorgeous day and started taking things down and raking. The Kabota saves the day. Still shovelled almost 4 tons of stone and dirt. I’ll sleep tonite. It’s hard...

If anyone wants a great deal on a 10 inch target with stand all hardware and stencils. $65. Spend over $150. free delivery. In Canada. If they ship over border would be about 45 US. I scooped 4. My buddy got one , impressive deal. I like the fact easy to move around. Crow

Took a trip up north to my buddies today. We worked on his range. Here’s a before pic. I cut at least a dozen trees down to open things up. What a difference. Unfortunately every tree hung up and had to chop 4-5 ft. off at a time and let it drop. This is finished, got 68 yds. cleared so far...

I’ve got 3 rifles that are major loopers. HW77k, HW97k both .25 and HW30 .22. They’re my favorites for plinking. I scored 10 tens of lead .25 cal. yesterday to meet demands. You shoot, it’s like a delay action when finally hitting their mark. Also more often than not you can watch its path...

A week ago I took delivery of 3 rifles. Everyone is happy. Just my luck the next day Friday I see an add for this. A HW77 tuned by Venum. Had to act fast.Very touchy situation, and I knew it. I was scared. I mentioned to my wife there was a really nice rifle for sale. I got that “your dead“ look...

I was bitten by the bug again. These were available for a while. I’ve been painting my interior house, nasty job. Got the itch last week. A box arrived today. A box inside the box I scored a HW 50 .177 1972 with an inscription. Hope it’s true. It’s a beater. This doesn’t have barrel droop, it...

Drove to the Post Office in town. Walked out with a long heavy box. It was my first stop of a 7 hour journey. Drove me crazy to have it behind me all day, whispering to me. Got home. After unpacking and sit down with a coffee, I finally check it out. I give my rifles a name and this one is...

I used to down hill ski, Eastern Townships Quebec or Jay Peek. Used to really enjoy spring skiing, icey granulars and warm sun shine. Well I know it’s still winter but the weather around here has been just that. Last week and the week before was just that as well. I put in nearly 40 hrs. on my...

Just picked up an order I made. Ordered 4 sets of Vortek springs on Dec. 26th. I thought they were lost. Ordered springs from the UK 2 days after the Vortek order, got it 2 weeks ago. I could have driven there (Vortek)in just over 6 1/2 hours. The Pony Express would have been faster. Month + is...

What a smorgasbord. Temps. mid 30’s and snowing constantly. 5 black rifles, 3 makers. First up Hadson 130 .30 cal. This is a young man’s gun, and that’s not me. Started shooting at this can which filled with water and froze. The 130 decimated it. I tried hitting the rim and wrapping it around...

In the winter I have a lot more free time to shoot compared to the summer. Problem our winters can go down to 0F. and lower. Makes a bit of a challenge to shoot comfortably. If a strong North wind comes I retreat into the warmth of the house which is 20 ft. from my shooting bench. Don’t like...

Picked up my HW45 .20 at the post office today. Self Christmas present. Dynamite gun. Also got some JSB Predator’s .20 cal. which I’ve never seen before. I was hitting a 12 x 12 in. plate 47 yds. 2 out of 3 shots. Love the fibre optic sights. Not on the P1. Already found a spot. Crow

A package delivered yesterday I opened this morning. Busy yesterday taking down Christmas decor. More tools, yay. Got punches for split pins and a set of Wera micro drivers. I‘m getting ready to install some more spring sets I‘ve accumulated over the last year, 15 sets. I have three different...

I’ve been tuning a few rifles and have approx. 15 spring sets to install now. I’m not satisfied with my crony. I’m using the Caldwell. The FX was not working for me. I would like to get a good quality chronograph. I heard mention of a Garmin Zero and I’ve seen an orange one that looked serious...

With Christmas sneaking up so fast. I happened to see a HW45 .20 yesterday. Hmmm. Santa, Christmas, little early, oh well, good enough reason, sold. Did you get yourself something for Christmas? Lets here. ‘ Merry Christmas, Crow

Came up with a brain wave today. Not going to win a Noble prize. Been redrilling my plate targets, when taking down I noticed a dime on the ground. I’ve lost a load of dimes you use to compare in photos. I found some barrel shaped Earth magnets in my shop. Drilled an under size hole somewhere...

I generally try to shoot in mornings to score more natural light. The daylight is shortened about 8 hours from the summer. Totally hooked on plinking. Today I started with a HW97 .25. I did take another rifle out, a 90, with are a blast to shoot. I couldn’t put that 97 down, talk about selfish...
