What have you done with your airgun today?

[DIYEngineer235]

Use the Fusion 2 to test out my new backstop. Just a couple of industrial rubber mats screwed to a 2x4 on a-frames. I made the a-frames from a couple of steel t-posts and some bed-frame brackets. 

I did layer some cardboard into the box to help catch pellets before I started using it.

Then decided to have some fun with some new targets I printed out. In this instance, 9 shots with the scope to the "head" and 9 with the iron sights. Iron sights shoot a little high right now, but can't complain about grouping! (The three off-center shots were bad trigger control.) I had to make my own mounting rail for the iron sights but so far, can't complain about the results!

Also realized in need a cheek riser because right now, the butt-stock is more of a chin rest with the way my scope is setup. Right now, I'm kinda able to use the front iron sight to make a rough adjustment to my head placement to get good shots, but it would be easier with a cheek riser added. Until I get that fixed, I don't think I should spend money on a better scope.

90 shots with a Gamo 177 break barrel at 40 yards. Gun is so accurate. had a great time.

Saw a squirrel in my tree, actually my son saw the squirrel so I didn’t have time to run out and provide speedy service to it from the lead buffet. Hopefully it will come back next few days, excuse to recheck my zero on my somewhat dedicated squirrel sayer anyways.....no it doesn’t need it but something to do.

Had a little plink date competition with the wife. Guess who won?

Me^ Wife^

Same gun, same ammo. Still, she had a blast plinking away at cans and targets. I just need to get her a smaller one for her birthday in a couple of weeks.

Been too hot and smoky(thanks to forest fire) to be outside at all. today got a little better so I took my dream-tac compact to check zero. First shot @20 yard zero, dead on! Then second shot at 30 yards, dead on so I put the gun back in the cabinet. O fox squirrels, wherefore art thou? 

 

[BackStop]

Tested Crosman Piranha 10.5 pellets in my Fortitude Gen2. Too many wild fliers/flyers. Other than that, grouped very good at 10 meters/~750fps.

Only shot 30 of them, so maybe I need either shoot a LOT more or simply clean the barrel and start over? (grin)

Shot my goat bell at 140 yards with my Dreamline BullPup with 8 mph gusts.

16 hits from a 18 round mag. Had fun!!

Work on improving groups with my Crosman 392 iron sights. Does anyone else use irons anymore?

A sticker from UA, Pretty happy not really a slug shooter but saving pellets right now, Daystate .22hp on low power 950fps. Just having fun, don’t take personal, I don’t hate FX’s!

I'm working on mounting some iron sights to my Fusion 2. Its trial and error. The hard part is finding a good front mount because of the integrated suppressor. I have to use a 3D printed picatinny mount on the barrel with AR style sights. The problem I keep running into is just getting things setup just right so I still use the scope with a quick mount. Yes, a scope is more accurate, but sometimes, I just want to plink away without one.

Right now, I'm using a set of cheap flip-up sights with a quick detach for my scope. My first iteration didn't work because I had the scope mounted too far back, mainly because of how the mounting rail and magazine interact. I just got my latest version mocked up yesterday, but then my front sight adjustment tool snapped on me. GAHHH! The reason it snapped is because I had to replace the front post and the replacement was threading in a little too tight. Now I'm waiting on a replacement sight tool with a tap/die set to arrive so I can finally test it out.

Diy, two thumbs up on the home fabrication! Sounds like a ton of fun making your own usable objects! Don't get me wrong, I love scopes, but enjoy the skill/ difficulty and challenge of using irons. I'd like to see how your project turns out when your done!

Set up my new gun rest...really cool setup. 

 

[Shortcut]

Got most of them out for a family picture and a cleaning. Couple of my other ones are loaned to my buddies, always fun to get them all out. 

 

[kball]

Shot about 1/2 a tin of JSB 18.1's tween 30 and 75 yds today. What can I say, never thought it would happen but I've turned into a grouper.

Got couple of house sparrows for my yard skunk, Pepe le pew.
