HW/Weihrauch WH30s Useful Range

[Tarheel]

I have a new WH 30s. I bought it mostly for plinking. I will do some but limited target shooing - not competition. What's the longest range this rifle is still accurate? I am aware that it is one of the lowest FPS at the muzzle of all WH Springers and I am good with that. Thanks! Oh yeah, using JSB Match Diabolo EXACT .177 cal, 7.33 grain.

i really like the AIRMAX too. Very excited about the AIRMAX 6-25x50 IR I’ve ordered for the 97 and I no longe4 hunt but I’m at the range several times a week shooting my 30 or shooting barebow, my other passion.

I got the baby Airmax on my 97K...lol.

The 95/r9 is just a practical all around utility gun that really don't disapoint..

I like my hw stuff but I don't care for ball or the lever detant lock.. I just prefer chisel type. Now none of the takes away from hw just a preference of mine after Diana stuff on the ball one for sure

The wind is what makes it challenging. Hitting the center of the dot on paper over and over when things are perfect is no fun at all. Trying to dope the wind and determine trajectory on targets at various ranges is the whole point of the exercise isn't it?

Some folks try to eliminate all variables. Others focus on working with the variables. I guess it just depends on what your goals for shooting are.

I used to fly RC precision aerobatics, and I would be the only one who showed up at the field on nasty wind and weather days. Guess who out of our group took the trophies home. It was allways crazy wind at the contests, especially Pensacola.

You have had trouble with the ball detent?

The chisels on the H@t$ans work great. They can be rough and sticky. The balls seem smoother. I've never had problems with any of them. So far...

If your hobby is things that fly through the air (airplanes, pellets, sailboats, kites etc.) it makes sense to learn the wind. Or at least crash (or miss) a few trying to learn it.

It's windy where I live. I shoot every day unless it's really bad. You learn to deal with it. My hits go way down in the wind but I can bend them in there pretty good. If I can't hit it at 50 in the wind I just move it up to 35 and keep on shooting. Every hit is a celebration. Every miss a lesson.
