Hi Shooters,
This weekend I shot my second 100m airgun contest ,just for SPRINGERS.
Made a little movie about my prep and the contest.
Hope you enjoy.

Sounds interesting but I don't see a video? I have shot a springer at 100 yards. Very challenging! Mine was a .22 Browning Leverage under lever. Had 4 1/2 feet of drop but still had enough energy to punch clear through tin cans. I was surprised haha! Best group was like 6-8 inches but its hard to see at 100 yds with the cheap 3-9x scope it came with. Sounds like fun!

I don't see a video either-that does sound challenging! I shot my .22 R9 at a 6" long piece of 2x4 at a hundred yards, I was surprised at how many times I hit it!

Great video, thanks for posting! Opens a whole new perspective on springers. Looks like a lot of fun and camaraderie... What were the other springers used?

 

[wilhelm]

Thanks for all the kind words.
We had mostly Weirauch springers HW97K and one HW90.
One AA prosport (second place), and Walter LGU .
Pellets were mostly in 177 cal. all JSB , except for one Crossmann Premier.

Nice video Wilhelm, were you shooting at 12 foot pounds( 16 Joules) or full power? I found it interesting to see shooters directly resting their rifles on bags and bench rests-Does the point of impact change from when the rifle is held in your hands?

Hi John ,
I was shooting a 12 ft-pound gun There is a different inpact from hard or soft support.Mine is a roller with foam and leather around it so soft (isch).
I do not like the harder surface. One of the best shooters Jonas always put his hand under the gun.One of the great things is to find out all the different set-ups, and go what works for you.With this set-up I am still working on the recoil pad, and a lot of other stuff.

The winner shot a HW 97 (12 ft after market kit) with a plastic stock and a 4x10x44 scope on a hard bag, so all bets are off

PS 1.5 to 2 inch groups are shot sometimes.

I sold my springier so I wont get a a chance to try it at this time... : ) Thanks for enlighting us on a great day of shooting.... looks like a lot of fun.1.5 to 2" at 100 yards is outstanding.... : )

Never tried it with a springer ( or indoors) but I love shooting "12fpe" at 110yards, really helps fine tune your skill.
Thanks for sharing.
