HW97k. 50 yards.

Found with a metal detector at a gold mine in New Mexico. 1942 silver nickel hit with a steel BB.

So how's the weather in Boogaloosa? Waxahathcee? Tuscaloosa? Have the iguanas thawed? 72 degrees and sunshine on the desert today. Tee shirts from 1 'till 5. Shotgun shells to 80 yards with the air rifle. Out to 200 with the new rimfire. The first fine day in a few weeks. Spring is almost...

I would like to introduce my two Castillian exchange students who are staying with me for the next few semesters. Cometa 400 gas ram in .22 cal. Maria, on the left has been here since late september. Her sister Juanita arrived on Saturday just in time for Maria's birthday! Maria just...

My son and his cousins have been hunting hogs for a few days. They have killed several. Tonight they got a pretty big one. Not an air rifle kill but I thought someone might get a kick out of seeing this big rascal.

After breaking a couple new (factory) springs I finally decided to dig into the HW95. I've been using a bar clamp for a compressor. It works but it's less than ideal. I wanted to build a jig that held all my rifles properly. I grabbed a piece of 3/8" plywood and a couple pine 2x2 and went to...

So I've been shooting the Cometa Fenix 400 Gas Ram rifle the past month. I have put about 4000 shots through it so far. I put 500 through it in the last 4 hours. Here's the skinny. It kicks pretty hard and it jumps forward. The trigger is funny. The open sights are iffy. The bluing is...

It rained for the first time in months. The wind blew. I had my heart set on shooting the "Ol' 97" today but decided to do a couple projects in the shop with it instead. I made a new little cleaning block that doubles as a breech seal saver. A safety block for cleaning. You can flip it...

When I was a kid I learned to shoot a BB gun about 4 years old. My favorite targets were plastic army men thumbtacked to a board floating down the canal. My father was a west Texas cowboy and he expected me to "go a plankin" every evening after chores. I was 8 years old before I discovered it...

What are the game laws in your State concerning hunting with an air rifle? Do you know them? Are you sure? In New Mexico you can't hunt any game animal with air guns except collared dove, squirrel and grouse. There are no other provisions for air rifles. In prior years you were allowed to...

I went out hunting collared dove with the Diana 34 .22 cal today. The first time i have ever actually hunted with a springer. We see a bunch where we usually shoot. So I figured that would be a good place to start. I put a scope on the Diana and went to sight it in. Got it tuned in at 25 and...

Since taking up shooting springers 6 years ago I have probably fired a quarter million shots. Ive broken guns, mounts and scrambled scopes. Empty pellet tins and rifle shipping boxes litter the floor of the shop. The thought of knowing how much I had spent almost terrified me. But the actual...

I finally got my Hatsan 95 back from repair. I sent it ten days ago. The rifle has about 25-30k shots through it total. It's had 2 replacement triggers, 2 springs and two seals. It will be one year old next week. It's my 6th Hatsan 95. I have a couple more newer ones and a few broken ones in...

Have any of you heard the old technique of shooting cross eyed? My father was a crack shot. He was unbelievable with a rifle. His father was a rifleman and taught him to shoot when he was very small. He was raised during the depression in rural west Texas hunting for what he ate. He was a...

Hello group! My name is Bob and I have a pellet problem. I guess it all started innocently enough. I loved shooting and had been an avid shooter for more than 50 years. I had wanted a Diana break barrel air rifle since first seeing one in action as a lad. I was looking for a rifle I could...

A couple years back I decided to have my D34 tuned and a Vortek kit installed. I shipped it to a reputable Smith and things were just groovy. Upon return the box was damaged but the gun looked fine. I mounted a scope and zeroed it. No problems. It shot beautifully. A few weeks ago I decided to...

Over the past couple years I have purchased a couple awesome springers from AOA. Both have required warranty repairs. When things always go right it's great. But when they don't you really find out who you are dealing with. Airguns of Arizona has stood behind their products and warranty every...
