What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
So many guns and so much time. You sir are living it big!
Just the other day I told my wife that I am retired now. She said, “No, get in the car.”

Maybe a few guns. I don’t know about the so much time.When I supposedly started to take it easy I lost 40 lbs.
Last week I started on my range I hand bombed 15 tons of granite rocks in a bucket in 4+ hrs. to move them. I have since put another 20 tons on wall for range. One of reasons I shoot at nite. No rest for the wicked, I must be real bad. Lunch now. Crow
I was supposed to start on my range in early June, that’s how far behind I am.

Got another 5 hours working on gun range. Got 2 1/2 hrs of shooting in tonite with these 4 beauties. 
2 Pro Sports and 2 TX200’s. 1 each of .177 and .22.
The more I use the Pro Sport the more I get addicted. If this gun had a breach opening the size of the 97 IMO this would be the perfect underlever springer. Crow

don't know how you shoot i found slow and easy practice , springers are sometimes hold sensitive , most times a very light hold is best ?
Shoot then think about where and how you held on to the 77 , might help . My 97 i barely hold on at all

Re-positioned the rear peep on my RWS Diana Model 34. It's my 10 M gun when Kim wants to shoot her HW30S or the critter git'r when it's too humid to run outside with a scoped gun. One sighting shot at 10 M, adjusted the peep, and then 5 more. 3 from a rest, last 2 standing. I know some people don't like the T05 trigger but mine is smooth with a solid wall and breaks cleanly at just over 2 lb. Great shooting gun. Just think what I could have done with an under lever! 
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Thanks for the tips, but I'm out. I have tinnitus and that recoil vibration means that my left ear has voted springers off the island. I got the HW77 moderator as a last ditch effort to see if it helps. It does quiet the report down to dull thud, but the sound and action coming in through my body remains and the ringing flares up. Sadly, boxing up the 77 to sell. Guess I need to look into PCP's. Currently shooting my HW75 pistol which is fine.

Is your 77 tuned at all ?re/greased ? I also have serious tinnitus , to me sounds like tires on a rough surface road at 60 MPH that's 24/7 always .

Sighting in and general experimentation at 25yds for over 4 hours. Beeman R9 (0.177) & Benjamin Trail NP2 (0.22). About 300 pellets thru each and about 10-12 pellet brands each. Lots of fun and good data. Most airgun shooting in a day yet for me I think and my arm is...
a bit sore...Regards

My little HW 57. .177. I also have one in .22, Lightweight, relatively powerful, and accurate, at least for my offhand shooting.

I drugged out my B3-3 and shot about 10 shots over the Chrono. I'd only ever shot 1shot out of it after rebuilding it for my wife but she doesn't want to have anything to do with it so it's been sitting for over a year.

HW30 10m off hand, maybe 150 shots. Took a few with the 95 from the bench. Then back in the shop to work on a non springer.

Went up North to my buddies range in the middle of nowhere. Now he has hatches on windows. 
This is the one that got me started, when he let me shoot his HW80 3 1/2 years ago.
Got there around 10:30, it was 32 F. don’t;Ike that, here’s the solution
A blazing wood stove, came in handy.
My buddy dislikes .177, so this was my selection
HW95 .177, R9 .20, HW97 .20, HW98 .22, K98 Mauser .22 iron sights, and the cannon Hadson 135 .30 iron sights. He liked the .20.
Love shooting here. My range is only 38 yds. so I shot 50 yd. shots constantly.
The 97 .20 was just stupid accurate. Got 4 hours of sniping in. A great day. Crow

That looks like a 135. I jacked my 135 for about 40 rounds today. Not a gun I could shoot regular.
Very interesting. Crow
Not familiar with this rifle. Crow
How can you go wrong with a 30. Have a 30 black en route arriving soon. Two great guns, enjoy. Crow
