What springer did you shoot today?

Last night I dismantled a HW95 .177. Put this kit in along with a Vortek piston seal. View attachment 511362Easy as pie. I believe a low power one. My crony is in shop. Cleaned the insides and put back together. View attachment 511363What a difference. Not going to be my last low power.
‘Nasty weather. Windy as hell even though I’m sheltered. View attachment 511364This is behind me. That wind is coming from the North. I could only shoot an hour, 50F. and the wind wins again. Crow
It's that time of year.

Walleye time
 
Musky time. Deer just opened on Monday. Crow
I'd rather eat walleye any day. Plenty of fish I'd rather eat than deer. I eat fish every week. Had catfish for dinner this evening. Crabmeat stuffed flounder last week. Been teaching my daughter in law to cook them.

Fishy fishy in the brook
Daddy catch em on a hook
Mamma fry em in the pan
Baby eat em like a man
 
I had to lookup what this walleye fish looked like that you guys were talking about.They look like our Aussie native fish on steroids lol. When we were kids we’d catch the gudgeons in the creek and put them in our fish tanks.

My TX200 at 50-feet. I am shooting my Hunting Flies target.

Life-size flies, 15 of them, on 8.5x11 paper. Unlimited sighters on sperate target. One shot per fly scored best edge. Plugged shots are done using a unfired .177 pellet head (not skirt).


3-points for head shots
2-points for body shot
1-leg or wings
0-points for a miss
45 possible points


Total Score: 28

Good shooting. I like that target. Get practice for the real McCoy in the summer. Crow
 
I'm out of town!
But who doesn't ahoot when they're out of town?
I can't begin to tell which springers we shot!
Visiting beerthief " Stan from Kentucky"
The FWB he's got was my favorite, I think?

Hey Gary. Get ready for the heat. I used to be in the fish tanks big time. That looks like a plecostomus catfish. A must have. Crow

I hope you don't mind the pic.
We had a great time.
Yes it was a fun day shooting and visiting . i like the picture . i get frustrated when members do not put even just the state they live in . Maybe they are embarrassed for some reason ? Or hiding from some past adventure ? Witness Protection ? Hmmm ?
 
What gallon size does it take to keep a Crowski in? Probably larger than I can lift. I just saw you were into fish tanks. Be Well Brothers, dito.
I’m considering a fish tank in future, no more travelling. I’m looking in the 200 gal. range. Had 75’s 100, 120 and 180 gal. Super entertaining and healthy. Been a while since I had one. Crow
Your gudgeons resemble our darters

See the walleye eyes? View attachment 511473

Nice catch. Crow
