Douglas fir is a gorgeous wood. Love the grain. I was going to say you have to be out west. Fascinating the strength of those trees. We have nothing like that. Crow

I hope I'll be forgiven for posting this, but I suspect that there are enough engineers, or at least advanced tinkerers on this thread to appreciate it: Keith Appleton - Steam engines
And I do think there is some affinity between airguns and steam engines... Both operate on an elastic medium, and both are prone to induce digital dissection and hindsight bias in their operators. Enjoy!

Just did a number on aluminum cans and metal animal targets with my wonderful new HW30S in .22 caliber using the supplied sights. I'm having trouble deciding which, the HW30S in .177 or ,22 is my favorite. For now it's a tie! Charles

Tough call. They’re both awesome. Congratulations on the 50. I just got one, but I got a 30 at same time. It’s been hogging all my time. Can’t wait to play with the 50, scoped. Enjoy you 30s. Crow

Had two favorites out,
This HW98 .22 has a Vortek spring in it. Accuracy is all it knows. Easy gun to use.
Last but not least. A HW97kt .25 and again another favorite. This gun is so accurate
I finished off the cans with the .25. Destroys cans. Both are Hall of Famers. Crow

Once again you bring a pair of beauties to the table . And I do love your shooting range . I have to move mine once a week so I can mow . Last time I went to buy paint, could not find any orange paint so I bought fluorescent pink and fluorescent green. I can see those pretty good. Just finished second eye surgery hope to be building new targets here in a month or so
. Thanks for sharing your collection with us ,Upvote 0
No shooting to day, wife’s birthday. Daughter and granddaughter are here, been a while. Rare not to shoot. Also this guy. I put top soil down with grass seed. This guy does a mud bath. 
Looks like a snapping turtle.
Hope he cleans his mess. Crow

Thanks. Looks like a mound there. Should I protect it from the coons. some how? This is cool. Never seen before. Looks like she has a garden on her back. Crow

Keep an eye on her and when she is gone. Coons,skunks,possum and others will dig up the eggs.

You can protect the area with some fencing or screening to keep the bandits and plundering critters out of the nest, just make sure that the young turtles can get out when they hatch
Once they hatch, the young will bee line back to the water.

Thanks, your a wealth of knowledge. Looks like a vulnerable spot for a nest. I‘ll try to protect it. Crow

Buddy of mine came down. Ventilated a few cans last night. Only one springer in the bunch but it’s a great one. Gonna break some other ones out over next few days.
