What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
Got out for a third round. Shot till 7:45 pm. Diana 350 .22. Amazing accuracy and like throwing a hammer. 
What a difference from the 30. Crow

No idea. This one is second hand and I haven’t had time to chronograph it yet. Not very high I wouldn’t think. It was fast enough that I can’t see a pellet in flight though.

Beautiful day in South Florida. Tried some different pellets in my two .177 rifles. The Benjamin Match 10.5s seem to be as good or slightly better than the JSB 10.3s. Ordered the new JTS 10.4s from Pyramid. My .22 Prosport likes those...

Got shims in the FWB 65. Had to make a few with a die punch set. Couldn’t find my shim stock so I used a cheap set of feeler gauges. Surprising what a difference .016 of shims makes
This little pistol is SOO FUN!!

Next up a R9. This gun is a keeper.
Last up a HW98

let's see .............................. shot my HW35 oldie but goodie , have to get a different insert for the front , something a bit thicker this one fades into the target , peeps btw . then it was the HW30 's turn what a little jem to shoot ,peeps also .
PEEPS reminds me Easter was yesterday , used to love the PEEPS candy bunnies but i would open the package then leave open for a few days to get a little stale so they weren't so mushy SO .. a few years ago i saw the boxes of PEEPS on the shelve . two came home and i immediately open them up , Then sadness struck me . the PEEPS were exactly like they were when i opened them a week ago, D$@!$% !! so i waited another week Same result ! another and another week Same thing soft and the day they came home . Finally another month (i was determined ) they never changed . time to throw them out .

I shot the HW30s Deluxe in .20 cal again.
(It's hard one to pass up)
I cleared all the targets in the thirty yard range right down to Stans tiniest swinger.
View from my Element scope. The HW30s scope set on 4X, completely covers that little swinger
Then Then I moved to the 75 yard range and hit three consecutive swingers on the crazy eights. (Now I'm hooked!)
But alas, that great start was followed up by bunch of hit and miss mostly miisses.
Then out of the blue as my tin was running empty, i got four consecutive hits clearing the Crazy Eights. It took three more shots to reset them, two hits and one clean miss.
It was fun with my wife cheering me on.
