What springer did you shoot today?

Sweet! It's shooting well!
I got the Tech Sight I ordered when I saw yours. Same deal. It's a little low. A great steel sight though. And I like the mounting clamps.
I need a lower front sight or a peep about 3/16" taller for it to work just right. I might trim down one of those inserts in the front globe a bit and try that. It's sure going to limit range but will work great out to 50 yards.
I might try and make a new peep for it out of a machine screw. If there was just a little more adjustment it would be a perfect rear sight.

I would love to hear how that 20 barrel would wring out on that gun. Sounds like fascinating and fun. Be Well Brothers, dito.

Not much shooting going on? Maybe it’s the change of the season?
Lovely day today. I’ve been wanting to spend some more time with the 77 Tyrolean. I grabbed it and took it for a whirl after work today. Nothing precision just some good ol’ iron sighted airgunning! So nice

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.

I need a 77...
On topic, I used my HW30K to swat a starling that was on my old TV antenna. I love that rifle.

Gave this Webley a little time. Took a few shots at a tree rat, not even close. 
What a workout jacking this Beast. Got her with some accuracy now. Lucky rats. Crow

I’ve been in contact with a fellow Air gunner I met through gun sales. He’s mid west Canada. Shared stories on the horn and texting. He’s also into rim fires, which I’m not.
I contacted him when he had a HW50 for sale. This one
This thing needs some TLC but does it ever shoot sweet. 
Well we made a trade. I unloaded a rim fire. Had for 3 years never fired it. Not my bag.
Also scored this R7 .177.
This baby needs a spring. Going to be my first job in almost 2 years.
Missing sights. This going to be a fun job.
‘Last in the deal was this Barakuda. And what a gem.
This is my second and this one jacks like a new gun.
Shoots really nice. 
Going to spend some time with the 50 and Barakuda, iron sights next shoot. Crow

I'm down to 4 pellet guns, 3 PCPs and an HW95 .20 I can have days without time to shoot much but the HW I pull out the safe and send a dozen or so rounds almost every day. It's just so convenient and a pleasure to shoot.

The 97K finaly gets some non JSB ammo shooting 75 yards.
After 3500 rounds of 13.73, I started with JSB Heavy's shooting all 500 rounds. I found the accuracy to suffer only slightly. The trajectory change required 6 MOA of up. After that I switched back and finished off the tin of 13.73's.
Next up was H&N Barracuda's 13.58.
I didn't like these as they were hard to load, and inaccurate for me. Interestingly their trajectory was about 5 MOA higher than the JSB Exact's, even though the H&N's were only .15 gr lighter.
I wound up dialing in 20 clicks of down with them.
after 60 or so rounds my thumb got sore loading those so I switched to the H&N 11.42 FTT's.
The 11.42 FTT's shot higher yet requiring all the down that I had left bottoming out my elevation turret. They were easy to load seating a little less than flush. The accuracy came back and I shot a round of Crazy Eights before I lost light.
The H&N's had different characteristics than the JSB's in the way they sounded hitting the steel targets. The JSB's have a pronounced "klink", and the H&N's were almost silent.
I can't beleive I'm at my scope stop with these, and I don't want to subject the scope to a springer pounding while it's against the stops. So ill have to adjust my rings to continue with the FTT's.
I am curious about how much flatter my trajectory is and how that will effect accuracy, and shot ranging, but they were worse in the wind so?
