HW/Weihrauch Green 97 at 50 yards

[Mycapt65]

I've been on a 50 yard kick lately because 25 gets boring quickly. I shot these groups with my 177 Green Hw97. They're shot left to right then top to bottom. Most groups are 10 shots. The circled ones are where I stopped at five because I didn't want to mess them up. There was a light shifting breeze but ironically my groups suddenly tanked at the end when there was no wind.

The last three groups were shot after giving me and the gun a break because the last group prior went tragically wrong immediately after a good one. Apparently it didn't help. Anyway like always here's the whole page. Now you can see why I don't like cherry picked groups.

Be well all.
Thanks for looking.

How did you make them shells on the right fit the 97 ? LOL

Good shooting Ron!

It was tough but you can't see the big hammer out of frame. Lol! I was sighting in my 357 Lever gun at 50 as well for the upcoming deer season. If you look closely you can see the targets with 2" red dots at the bottom of the board. It's got open sights so I need a big target

Realism…Nice

Thanks. I always try to keep it real. When I was new to this stuff I used to expect the same results as everyone's cherry picked groups.

You should try some 10.3s

Nice shooting Tex! Did you know that soup cans are trying to take over the world? They are evil! Have you tried H&N Baracuda Match 10.65's? I have had good results with them in my .177 springers. Fun to lob them with the HW30.

Ron, are you safety wiring your stock screws? Ha
I keep seeing the Milbar pliers in your pictures

I'm a retired railroad machinist. I use safety wire like most men use duct tape. It holds half my place together Its great stuff for hanging targets from trees and such.

Dime size groups at 50 yards is pretty good marksmanship, in my book at least
