Just to be clear my swinger's have paddles and I shoot em..20 cal, I think that is a great idea. The ideas are flowing, wife would say she's scared! Be Well Brothers, dito.

She needs a challenge. Sometimes targets work. When I I'm instigating a shoot I'll pit two in a match like playing cards. So if a third person comes in, half of the battle is done.She tried but just could not get into shooting , We both got CCl permits when we moved here as we live outside of town , calling the cop's is a joke time wise .
It's hard for me to get used to the term "Loopy". I guess it's the top of a loop? The worst is an "Avalanche" that's when the top of a loop has a snap roll in it. Those usualy only happen when you load one up backwards.Shot my new to me Gen 2 Bone Collector.
Stacking pellets at 15 yards.
Time to stretch it out and see how “Loopy” this .22 is.
Yeah that would be a cool stop for sure. I'm on the east coast so a dream for me as well..lol.been cold here lucky i have a dual fuel system . it has warmed up 5 degrees so far but only a 52 degree day . I am tempted to go an extra 1000 miles on the way home from my daughters house in Campbell CA and stop in AOA /pick up an HW30 in .20 , but no , wife will be in the truck so this is just a dream.
today is going to be Iron Sights day .
I’m not sure about the “Loopy”. I just see it come up quite often on here, to go .177 or .20 because .22 is so loopy.It's hard for me to get used to the term "Loopy". I guess it's the top of a loop?

It's actually fun and challenging, to shoot long range, but you add two fundamentals. The wind is exponentially worse, and can't error correction is critical.
Yup, it is the "go too" term for excessive long range drop.I’m not sure about the “Loopy”. I just see it come up quite often on here, to go .177 or .20 because .22 is so loopy.
Ok. NEWB question on Droop. I’m not sure I understand how you determine the gun shooting low?Yup, it is the "go too" term for excessive long range drop.
Another one that bugs me is "Droop" when a gun shoots low but doesn't have a visibly drooping barrel.
Thanks!!Ok. NEWB question on Droop. I’m not sure I understand how you determine the gun shooting low?
Say I take a new pellet rifle and mount the scope. Weather it’s low, high, left, right. I adjust the scope to get it shooting where I’m aiming.
How then do I realize I have barrel droop?
By centering the scope before mounting it then shooting to see where the gun is shooting compared to where the reciever is aiming.

It would be nice.It would be nice if you could get her shooting with you!
So which is it, loopy, droopy or a rainbow..lol.?Yup, it is the "go too" term for excessive long range drop.

Very cool setup. Something I aspire to have.I’m into to shooting under the lites. Getting dark at 6 pm.
Started with a HW98 .22. Dream rifle. Great gun for the tree rats. View attachment 504887Surprising how good the picture turned out for how dark it was.
Next hammer or gun a Diana 460 .22 cal.View attachment 504888 This gun has no problem with accuracy at 47 yds. Crow

I was having trouble responding to your post yesterday. I wound up having to change internet carriers to fix it?Thanks!!
Perfect explanation. Much appreciated.I was having trouble responding to your post yesterday. I wound up having to change internet carriers to fix it?
Anyway, droop can be checked by mounting an opticly centered scope, then shooting to find the point of impact compared to the point of aim, before adjusting it.
The target that I included shows my 97K's first five shots at 30 yards with an opticly centered scope.

That info let me know that I was going to need moa adjustable rings to raise the back of the scope to compensate for that misalignment. My plan was shooting to out 75 yards.
Trying to adjust that out of the scope turrets can get you too close to the scopes stops, and I think that's a bad idea especially with a springer beating on it.
