If it ain't broke . . .

. . . don't fix it. I'm sure most of you know the saying.

So I'm working from home this week - there are three of us (network support) and we're on a rotating WFH schedule during this current time. So anyway - earlier today around lunchtime I thought I'd go out in the back yard and shoot my little .177 m-rod that I had hoped ( still holding out hope?? ) to use for FT this summer with a local club. I've not shot it in quite a while as I recently picked up a new .22 that I've been spending a fair amount of time playing with.

So anyway ... I have the m-rod zeroed at 28 yards which seems to give me a pretty flat trajectory for a FT range - 10-55 yards. I grabbed my bucket and sticks and sat down out at around 39/40 yards out in the back yard. First two shots a tad low - "oh yeah ... 28 yards -- need a little hold over..." I'm mumbling to self. I don't have a dope sheet or anything on me but I can see where they hit - ok - hold over just a touch. Pew! Pew!

It's cold out (AGAIN . . . . {sigh}). I ain't touchin' this thing - it shoots like a little laser. Four shots - it's cold out - I'm done. ( lol ) I had thought about messing around with it some but . . . nah. Those little orange shoot-n-see things are . . . I don't know - maybe the size of a U.S. dime?

If it ain't broke . . .

If it ain't broke then modify it says the addiction. ;^)

 

[jdanvers]

lol!! Exactly ... the mailman delivered some shiny new toys that (I could) test out / play with on this gun.

... but then I shot it at lunch. {sigh} The first FT meet of the season has already been nixed ... kind of assuming the next one will too unfortunately. If and when that happens then yeah ... modify!!!

This thing may go long onto next year. Depending on How many more die after states start to prematurely easen their restrictions. Hunker down be smart be safe be alive to shoot after next year... Yo

Same here. Dive in, "improve" everything, and fix it when you mess it up.

I used to be the guy that if it wasn’t broke, I would try to fix it anyway.

Many airgunners think they are a lot smarter than the manufacturers who engineered them.

I find when I start to loose my poi that a few passes down the bore will restore my accuracy. However I am not a remanufacturer and rarely have to fiddle with the inner workings of my guns. I like the KISS rule "Keep It Simple Stupid" . It has served me well.

LOL.....if ain't broke, ya didn't try hard nuff!

Good shootin' anyway!

Now that 90% of the population has died, is it safe to assume we can take off our masks?

Good thing most young people have enough money saved up that they can afford to take a couple years off.
