I did shoot today, but it was a brand spanking new powder burner, shooting a 20 inches steel target @ 1200 yards!

Hw30s .20 cal, a gun that just put a smile on my face and surprice me with the accurasy every time i shoot with it. Today was not a great day to shoot low powered airguns and to test different types of pellets i have come across, very windy 10-15 m/s from my right to the left, but i think it's a good idéa to test the gun in different weather to see how they perform, so i meassure out 25 meters and set up some papertargets, i aimed at the "9" @ 3 o'clock and you can see when the wind picked up and when it calmed down a bit, the flathead and the pointed pellets did not perform well at this wind and distance, i will try them at shorter distance when there is less windy, my go to pellet is FTT, but to my surprice the FT pellet didn't do well at all, but it loves the hollowpoints style, even in the very windy condition... But now i have atleast 4 different sorts of pellets i can use atleast out to 25 meters!

Streamline, standing, rested on trigger sticks at steel circles 50-75 yards. Steel is 4" and 5" round. Love the smack of lead on steel!

Shot 5 shots each out of all my 37 non co2 airrifles to keep them "lubricated" and ready for buisness, it was hard work but someone has to do it...

A while back I did some 90yrd shooting off the bench with a .22 cal HW95. Today I did some off hand shooting at that same distance at a 1 gallon water jug with both my .177 and .22 caliber HW95s. Both rifles are scoped and had the magnification set at 9X.
The .22 had a very high trajectory at that distance with the 15.89 JSB pellets. Even the lighter weight Crosman pellets would drop off really low. The .177 definitely shot flatter. I only had to hold about 4" inches high above the jug and I was able to consistently hit it.
I don't normally shoot my air rifles at this distance but it was a lot of fun trying something different.

Today was all about the Hatsan Hydra for me. This is a gun I bought a few months back, shot it for function and it has been hanging on the wall in my study ever since.
It is the first time I have fiddled with a Hatsan Quattro trigger, and in the end I am impressed with them. Got it right where I like it and really easy to access the adjustment screws.
Then my wife comes out back and asks if she can shoot too. Well I had finished with the Hydra chrony work, so I aired up her Wolverine. She took a few shots on paper, and then started popping Charms Mini-Pops. None survived. I just love the pop they make when they are hit - sound like little squirrel heads.
