What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
FWB 300S for a bit. That rifle will make you look good. Ran across chrono, right at 6 FPE so seems to be healthy. Little problem getting it to zero but that’s for other thread. Just a blast to shoot.

Spent about two hours shooting my HW35E and HW30S at my three new reactive targets. What fun it was. The rocking RAT was my favorite, and the other two were great as well. Something about shoot a RAT is just plain fun. And nothing dies in the process. Charles

Got to be happy. Can’t go wrong with a PS. Crow
Always looking for targets. Is a pic possible? Crow

Gave a HW50 .177 a run. Must have a plus Vortek spring. A little heavier to jack and it’s throwing the lead a little quicker. 
Great gun. Crow

Shot the .22 Springfield Armory M1A underlever this morning. I had it set up with a scope, but decided I like it better with iron sights like my actual .308 M1A. Chrono puts RWS 11.9gr wadcutters at just over 800fps. Hits good and hard. Great fun banging 4" steel targets at 40yds offhand. Solid rifle. Funny that it weighs half a pound more than the real one.

Got out the old Mendoza rm2003 .177/.22. It’s a bit underpowered in .22 but .177 hits hard. Played around with scope but will put peep sight back on . Then it will sit in corner another couple years, just don’t care for springers. Maybe should try n sell it one day.

These .20 cal. demand time. They were lined at the door. R9
Enough said. Like a dream. Lucky to have this one.
The HW90 .20 is a solid gun.
It probably caught me off guard, more than any other gun. Beautifully engineered gun. Looking forward to opening up this winter.
And last an identical twin of the R9. The HW95, Same story. Flawless.
All three were a treat to use.

More pellet testing in the wind today with the Prosport. nothing really great out of 7 different pellets..lol. I did manage a .224 ctc 5 shot group after the wind died somewhat. So far the QYS 8.48 is the best. I tested jsb exacts 8.44, 4.52 and 4.53 head sizes. H&N FTT 8.64, H&N sniper 8.5, crosman 7.9 premier, and the super dome 8.3 was the worst..lol.
Maybe I need to try some AA 8.44 and some heavies?

After tighten two screws on my new HW35E I re-zeroed my scope and it was only a bit off. Just got to remember to often check the screws on all of my springers. Of course that is part of the fun in shooting springers. Charles

Knew we had rain coming so before we got breakfast and took the dogs to park I snuck about 20 shots with FWB 300S. Decided to try what it was designed for and shoot standing off hand at 10 m. Absolutely amazing. Heavy rifle but so well -balanced you don’t notice, really easy to support and keep on target.

Took the HW45, HW70, HW30, HW50, HW95 and the TX200 out yesterday. Very challenging wind conditions, couldn't buy a spinner. Cans were swinging in the breeze. Weatherman was calling for six mph winds yesterday. Ended up very gusty and swirling winds. Two or three mil dot hold overs made for a challenging session. Even brought my portable compressor out for a spin. Should have brought a PCP with me instead of springers. Still had a good time, any trigger time is a good time.

TX200.
I dropped out of FT a couple of months ago but I think I will shoot a bit during the winter for a little excercise.
