Only one shot. Direct to the dome of a squirrel eating at my bird feeder. Love my cz200 hunter 177 and Athlon Talos 10x.

Went to my gun club’s range today (I was solo there) and shot my exceptionally accurate Notos using a range of JTS .22 pellets. It liked them all. Then my 2013-purchased Ruger Air Hawk Elite breakbarrel in .177 and despite having sat dormant for 4 years in controlled environment, it shot straight and true using a 10 or so grain domed pellet. My JTS Airacuda Max is in Katy, Texas, being repaired for leaks. And that is the finest of the many airguns I own. I’ll be helping JTS’s business in October when their new rifles premiere. They sound awesome.

I tried to pattern groups at different distances with FWB this morning.
I made no scope corrections or point of aim. I did okay i guess. Cant wait to get a longer range shooter. I think this is the absolute max for accuracy with the 300

I got drunk and fired my new fx impact m3 sniper through a paperback book - https://streamable.com/rz97ys
The post office tried to deliver my thermal scope but I wasn't home so right now all we can do is blow massive holes in stuff in the garden. Its a lot more satisfying than I thought it would be.

I shot an iPhone 8 with a 30 grain hollow point (H&N Slug HP II) too. That was quite satifsfying, this phone has been pissing me off for months it turns itself off constantly. That 30 grain turned it off for good : https://streamable.com/oqx19c
I dug the slug back out, I was impressed with the hollow point doing its job thats some serious spread. 10 cent coin and an un-fired 30 grain for scale.

I waited until the kids went to bed, and the temperature had dropped from 93 down to 86, humidity was 60%. Put 20 rounds through my 2-week old Veteran II standard .25 out to 50 yards. I am still stunned by how quiet this rifle is - easily backyard friendly. I was also reminded of how bad I wobble with my Primos Triggerstick tripod. It's fine for quick duty at 30 yards on a squirrel, but 50 yard targets, not so much (for me). I have a Caldwell Precision Turret which works well if I get a table out, but for brief shooting periods like this, I think a real tripod would be better.

Got the hm1000x out after installing the huma regulator and getting it set. Was able to get the H&N 218 30 grain slugs moving at 950 fps. Was smacking the 1" target at 100 yards and it was stupid boring.
Got my son some practice for our NRL22 matches. So it should be fun next month

I refilled my CZ200 Hunter. I have a large male agama that made my shed roof his calling ground for a mate. I’m just looking for the right shot to present itself.

Thats a nice Vixen.
Personally i adjusted a little on the valve return thing on the valve of my Two, and once again realized i really need to top up my 12 L bottle CUZ its below 150 BAR now.
Come Tuesday - Wednesday - Thursday next week i will.
Day #1 Hit lumber yard, and probably start on the flooring in the new shot shed.
Day #2 Mess around wit a little concrete on the big faux mountain on the G-scale train layout,,,,,, and be amazed again how overgrown it is.
If we are to run any trains this year, well i will have to bust out the big gasoline weed wacker and clean beside ALL of the track, CUZ,,,, damn.
Maybe also do preliminary work for the lake / waterfall that will be made so the trains have something pretty to drive by.
Day #3 shooting a lot, even if the perfect conditions have already been cancelled in the weather forecast, then at least it have not yet been turned into complete garbage.
Temperatures still below 20 deg C in the 9 day forecast, and not much sun to be seen in it either, i am inclined to belive the scientists that say when the world experience global warming we up here in northern Scandinavia might experience a small ice age.
CUZ the 25 deg C that constitute a summers day here, well we had 2 of those already but i fear that is also it more or less.
