What springer did you shoot today?

Got a morning shoot in. Feels like rain. A Pro Sport .22 cures most.

Using this gun, it is harder to jack, but I’m sitting and pull the lever towards my body, which makes it easier. At end of day wicked rifle. Crow
 
You'd never guess?
Lol
The grandkids went home and I got an evening shoot. Finally shot with the new scope..
The alignment of the centered scope held zero all the way out to 75 yards, with not one click of right or left.
I guess my modified West Hunter rings are proving themselves. 👍

With a centered scope I was 6 MOA high, at 30 yards. It's zeroed for 75 now

I can't believe how bright that picture is out here in the dark. The glow in the stock is from a solar yard light.

Glad you like your Element. I prefer them as well.
A few weeks ago I went to bathroom, 4 AM. This is a picture I couldn’t resist from living room window. No flash. Should be pitch black. Never seen this before

HW30 today during a squall line passing.
This little rifle is amazing, switching from 30 to 75 yards, no problem. After the downpour the branches were sagging down, and I wound up shooting through leaves on the way to the 75 y target. The HW30 still got good hits!
I still find the biggest challenge at 75 to be "cant".
 
I picked up where I left off yesterday with the HW30
A wasp landed about five feet in front of me. I thought no way, and cocked the rifle as he flew away. After a few shots he lands in the exact spot on a roll of box tape. This time the rifle was loaded and the shot was clear. I sighted down the barrel edge fired, and the wasp disappeared.
Never touched the tape. The HW30's first kill.
Lol
 
Today I'm shooting the 93 Webly Vulcan, .177, 7.33gr, JSB Exacts at 30y. Then I dialed in 75 yards with 1.75 turret rotations of up. Then zeroed elevation with 1 click of down. How convenient is that?

The wind really reeks havoc on these .177s.
I did manage to shoot a nice group on the Crazy Eights reset paddle, but they never reset. I had shot all the paddles with the HW30 yesterday, but ran out of pellets before I could get it reset.
The Vulcan has the accuracy, but lacks the energy. I will have to reset it with the HW30, then try the Crazy Eights, hanging paddles with the Vulcan later. It's time for me to cook a late breakfast, and cut grass.
👍
 
Surprise surprise, the Webly Vulcan in .177 hasn't got the power to shoot Crazy Eights at 75 y at all. It only wobbles the disks.
It's harder to cock than the HW30, and has a louder report. It shoots a flatter trajectory, but doesn't have the mustard for the Crazy Eights, swingers.
I haven't chronographed the Vulcan yet, but the HW30 in .20 slams the C8's and the 97K generally knocks them down at some point during the shoot.
