Yes the Daystate Huntsman are great air rifles. Here is a video of me shooting mine a .22 non regulated at 25 yards JSB 18gr., trying out a new video set up, looking thru a Hawke scope.

Over on the GTA, a few shooters are getting interested in returning to their routes.
Yep.
BB guns.
Specifically Daisy (Avanti) 499b.
The guns built for 5m shooting.
Well today I got mine out and shot fifty shots a four playing cards (edge ways), 8 yards away, offhand.
I didn’t hit, much less split any of them.
Gentlemen that is a challenge.

I couldn’t hit the cards with the 499b so I drug out the R1 with 8.2 WC.
Short range (9 yards) standing (wobbling)/offhand:

This looks difficult.

Late to the party on this but this is a post on another forum I did a while ago with my sub12fpe rapid .177

Well now, I've never heard of such a thing and been shooting 55yrs........I thought I was doing something by hanging a can from a string and shooting the string and watching the can hit the ground?

Not to be outdone, I just purchased a new deck of cards and am going to build a stand like the one posted. Great idea folks, I'm so pumped!

You mean, like mine on a stepper motor??

Edit - Oh, I get it now. I hadn't clicked on the link in your attachment. Good luck!!

You can shoot in the snow, by the way.

Interesting? Do you turn that remotely?

Sortof. You have to have a stepper driver to turn the motor, but a stepper motor can turn really consistently. They have a lot of torque at low speeds. I am a nerd so I have a printed circuit board that I designed that I can just pull out and use. I just looked on eBay, and found this little stepper controller that appears to be a complete unit for a reasonable price if you want to play around with spinning things. You'd need a stepper motor. Here is a dinky little unit that runs off of 5V, so you could power this whole thing from a USB battery pack and put the target wherever you want. Just a thought...

Happy shooting!!!

Duckfish had his Sheridan H9 pistol at the range yesterday.
Whoa, does that thing pump hard?
Anywho, I thought I would get the C9a out for a quick 50 as long as I was pumping.
Most at three pumps (in the garage) some at four and a few at five.
Finishing, I put two playing cards up at 9 yards and shot seated, offhand??
Peeps..
Not to bad but I wish I knew how to lighten the trigger.
