What springer did you shoot today?
- Thread starter crowski
- Start date
I took tubes of silicone sealer and spread it all over the outside and inside to make a dull thud now still a bit loud but no ring .

Splitting hairs. Probably a personal favorite. R9 same deal.
When I ordered the 98 from AoA I had high expectations. My .177 and .22 were both favorites. I thought it was going to make a rabbit disappear. When it came it was the sloppest rifle ever. Almost had a breakdown. After 200 rounds, turned completely around. Wish I could get in .25. Crow

I like looking at some of your backgrounds, trees, lake, snow as much as the guns, absolutely beautiful!
No shooting for me today and probably all of next week. Today was overcast, humid, windy and cold for here, but mild as to what is to come in a few days, I think next Monday-Tuesday we are to hit the teens at night and one or two days right at or slightly below freezing, Too cold for an old southern boy.
I had thought about shooting a little today, but had car problems My wife went out started it and went to her hairdresser's about 15-18 miles away and came home no problem. We had planned on going out to a veterans luncheon but went out and the car started then when I backed out on the street it started sputtering and would not run. It had gone uphill a little so I let it roll back down across an intersection next to the house and parked it and had it towed in. For years the dealer had been taking care of it but now when I called them, they said they did not work on cars over ten years old. What had been a locally owned dealership had sold out to someone from out of town. I thought it strange because they had worked on my truck just last month, which also is over ten years old. Anyway they lost my loyalty. I had it towed to an independent, who when I described what was happening said it was most probably one of two things, neither serious, just annoying . Anyway he is a little backed up and it will probably be early next week before it gets repaired.

It’s gorgeous up here at this time of year.
This I dug out, was to be my gun range. 12 ft. high limestone. Springs pushing water out and freezing. I park my car and trailers here. I have excellent drinking water here.
Guys were out last week to where the black is, past the island, only the black was water. ice fishing. Can’t imagine any fish tasting that good to risk your life. Dangerous lake.
Not many people here this time of year. Crow

Sounds like a great time of year, Crowski. Fewer people to aggravate you. Maybe even find a fellow airgun shooter! That would be sweet. Especially if you both have extensive ranges. I know my best bud is a ways away but he let's me shoot anything I own, pellets or PBs, about any time. Just have to go pellets only during his KC CHEFS football games. I hope he sees this! Good Shootin' Brothers, Bandito.

You nailed it. Especially the square head next door. “Wouldn’t piss in his ear, even if his brains were on fire”. And you can use that line.
Ironically he has an Airgun, been shooting for years, not here. But I shoot too much. I could do a weekend conference on this guy. Neighbours. Crow

Two rifles this morning 37F and snowing slush. Awesome when you hit the snow when wet it splashes.
Shot a HW35e .177.
Fantastic accuracy once I zeroed the scope. Easy to jack.
Also shot my Pro Sport .22 cal. The perfect gun. Would like a third in .177 and give a 12 FPE spring.
Great trigger. Superb accuracy. Hall of fame stuff.
Even though a heavy snow I’m sheltered.
I’m facing south shooting. Crow

I'm shooting South too.
No snow yet! Supposed to be here Wednesday
Right now it's leaves that splash revealing those low shots. There are shot shell hulls mixed in the leaves, and most of the time that is where I check zero rather than on paper.

Are your patches tight enough? I can barely pull my 2" patches through, and always get something on the first two or three.

Yes I just started using a one inch patch folded in half. They're pretty stiff. You can see the damage on my patch worm from wrapping it around stuff to pull it through.

I've been using this Otis pull through since 2007, I bought from Straight Shooters along with my 97K. I have a patch worm but never use it, can't get enough resistance before the patch pulls off..lol. Pretty much useless except for maybe in the field, but I doubt it.
Also buy these proshot 2" patches and they can be pulled at least two times, maybe three, before using a new patch.
Just poke a hole and feed it thru..
Then gather the edge and feed that thru...
Then fold it over and it's ready, just add ballistol.
Get plenty of resistance along with lead and gunk.

Thanks Stan. I don’t plow or blow the snow unless I get 4-6 inches.
This is from where my 47 yd. targets are.
