Air Arms Messing Around

[Frank in Fairfield]

For the past two weeks I have been touching on the TX200 #3.
The free one in Walnut.
It didn’t want to cock.
Scott (Motörhead) said the piston rod had to be adjusted.
He was right.
So, today, I took TX200 #2 (beech) out for a few so I would be ready for my 50% on Sunday’s FT match at Diablo.
I finished with the cards at 9.5 yards in the garage at 8X, offhand.
I didn’t cut any but I came close.
Not too bad for a wobbly old codger at 79:

That's absolutely fantastic offhand shooting! If it were me shooting in the garage offhand...there would be holes EVERYWHERE and I am 62y/o...

Well Deadeye, you got me by 10 years and I certainly can’t do that.

Wow, great shooting any any age, but at your mature # that is super

That's impressive no matter what the age is.

We used to do the card cut at our muzzleloading matches in the 70s. We used it at two and three day regional matches in the evening before the last day. Also when there was no breeze in the evening there was a candle match. A dollar per shot. Winner took all. But in the state of Misery rarely is there a quiet night, no breeze. Lots of fun though. If you didn't camp out at the range, you missed lots of fun and socializing. We allowed alcohol only after the range closed. And there was never a time we had to manhandle someone too far into their cups, probably a good thing I don't drink. AND NOW BACK TO YOUR REGULARLY SCHEDULED PROGRAMMING! Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

That card cut is the hardest shot I have attempted. We used to use Neco candies stuck in putty to the bullet trap in the basement. After warm ups at about 8 meters we turned the candy discs on edge, then shot the pieces. I wouldn't do well these days. Need hours of practice. Be Well, B.

my cards would have all 4 cards with one pellet shot . (yes one shot not edge /in a stack. (for those that didn't assume that .)

Shucks . . . If'n you'd just turn the cards the other way, I could hit 'em easy at 25 yards! Anyway . . . I've tried cutting the cards and well. . . no way, I've tried. I bow to your excellence. Orv.

Excellent

Never tried a card cut. I used to light matches shooting across the deck when I had one, probably about 25 feet. Never did it offhand, but would sit in a chair. Gun used was a FWB 300S with factory irons.
