That’s awesome Stan!
Was it a show where you found it?
I was thinking about you this evening.
I was hitting all three of your swingers at 30 yards, with the HW75 using a 6x pistol scope. I could only hit when the wind flag laid down. I shot during a crosswind and actually hit the spinner next to the one I was aiming at. It’s a fun challenging little target.

I was busy shooting all winter. Now I’m just finishing up the painting, 1 1 /2 days left. Have 15-16 sets to install and just ordered 6 more. Plus a few repairs. No rest for the wicked. I’m real bad.
Still have 2 90’s I barely shot. I’m free a a bird soon. But soon fishing takes some time. I fish daily, sun rise and sun down. Crow

Installed a Rowan trigger in my LGU today, also a cocking lever handle. Boy this thing is wicked now!

They make great accessories for air guns. I have 2 of their trigger blades, 2 cocking handle grips, and 2 of their trigger guards.

Spent a fun day helping my nephew do some pest control yesterday. Like most people who live in northern Maine, he's got a red squirrel problem.
I used the .22 D350 and he used my .177 D48. We each got three with clean shots at distances from 20-50 yds. He's not new to guns, but he's new to airguns. He usually uses a .410 with birdshot, so the quiet accuracy of the air rifle was something new. Taught him the basics of a light hold and safely handling/loading a springer and he did great. I think I may have another convert. Heading back over to his place again today for round two.
We also did some plinking, and the two Dianas performed perfectly.

Today was pellet testing and a new zero for the new-to-me diopter.
I like it when a rifle tells me what pellets it likes. This one was very clear cut.

I got home late yesterday, but managed five shots by flashlight.
Believe it or not the scope I ordered for this guy is on back order. Lol
I stole the Athelon off of the Crown which is heading to UA for service.
I centered the scope and shot the first 5 at 30Y in the dark with a flashlight.
17 MOA low is not a good start point..
