What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
After depressing at my 25-yard performance yesterday I moved back to 50-yards. The range was very busy today so... I spent most of my time talking and catching up. Good folks.
At 50-yards I resighted using AA 8.44 Field Diabolo (4.52) sorted to 8.5 grains. I shot one target for groups.
1st 5 shot group was a pretty good one. I shot a 0.36" group. One of the infrequent under 0.50" that show up.
I then got cocky and shot a 10-shot group of 1.95" for 10 or 1.18" for 8. It was all due to poor trigger control as you can see. Cocky got me for sure.
I then focused and did 10 shots in 0.87". The more typical for this rig.
Not stellar but operational. I can now try 25 yards again and get depressed.

Finally got a chance to shoot a little this evening. 56T/H in .177 for me. So easy to shoot. Kim was so impressed. Keep telling her it’s the gun. She shot her .22 HW50S. She did great. 25 mph winds so she got a little practice with wind doping. Good time.

Getting closer to finishing off the re-engineering project of my Gun Toys RO72 spring pistol.
Trial fitted the recently reinforced grip this evening to check out the cocking clearances, so obviously needed to fire the thing a few times!
Once it has had the cosmetic work done and become the Italian beauty it should always have been, I will post some pictures.
Right now it ain't pretty!

This morning I had an opportunity to shoot my 97kt .25. 
This gun is second to none. What a pleasure to shoot. So stinking accurate. I think this is going to be the one for fly and wasp hunting. Also shot the 48. Crow

Not familiar with the 1322 but the other two are gems. Crow

Keeping the .25’s going brought out a HW77 .25,
Did I ever say I liked this gun. Lucky to have this one. My Diamond. .25 cal. is best for plinking. Spins the spinners more. Rips bigger holes in cans. All with supreme accuracy. Crow

No all my 97’s are k models. The 77 .25 is k as well. But have 2-77’s long, .177 and .22, both keepers. Crow

According to HW mine is a K model also. Says so on the box. Then it says, “long”. Cracks me up. Are all of yours KT? T is the thumbhole designation.

It was a poor day at the range for me. No reason that I can figure save I was not with it.
I was set up at 25 yards. Shot an Air Rifle 25 yard benchrest target. Had a poor 217 total. I shot an ARA unlimited style target. Did a poor 1610.
