My son visited Saturday and shot a few rounds with me at 75. I don't think he dreamed of shooting these springers that far, and was pleasantly surprised.

What springer did you shoot today?

we have 4 feeders and that provides a lot of activity . Three across the front of the house and one out back .

He’s between the peckers head and the feeder.
Same story here with the wasps. That’s where I come in with this springer

Morton's Kosher Salt. Larger, with more ft lbs at the bug/target. I enjoy mine. Too many, too close? The Electronic Fly Swatter comes out! Bee Well Brothers, Bandito

Since I switched to the Heavy's 15.89, from the Exact 13.73's, I have had the feeling that I lost a bit of accuracy. So it was time to put some paper up.
About 50 shots at 75y, HW97K, Element 24X. The first shots were cold coming out of the AC.
I would be doing better plinking with a couple clicks of left.
I don't shoot much paper, not even to zero.

I tried the HW95 with a diopter sight but came to the conclusion that the stock comb is just too high, it was hard to get my eye down low enough to see comfortably, so scope it is. Post office delivered a couple of Sportsmatch mounts . I had a Hawke Airmax 2-7 , but the distance between the objective bell and ocular bell was too short so I did some swapping. I put a 3-9 Leupold that I had on my FWB 124d in that mount and then put the Hawke on the FWB. Went out and got both zeroed, again with hummingbirds flying around me. I could see them zoom by in the scope field as I was aiming, doubt if I could ever hit one and do not want to so kept the shooting to as little as possible. My wife came out and said they kept hovering just above and behind me, apparently looking at a bandage on my head. I had a small skin cancer removed last week and the doctor said keep it covered and apply some vaseline daily to keep scarring at a minimum. I guess the birds thought it was a flower, I told my wife that I was glad it was not red, they might have really been going for it then.

Paper is not much fun, I like to see something move when I hit it. When I zeroed the FWB sport this afternoon, a few shots on paper then out to a swinger at about 50 yards.

JK swingers are more fun. That and the shoot to reset steel. Keep shooting and Be Well, Bandito.

Agreed, paper is only an occasional necessity for diagnostics, however I did buy a pack of competition benchrest targets after watching the recent matches on video. Lol
My hummingbirds are pretty crazy right now as well. It's nearing time for them to migrate.

I visited Kansas city around 1975. It was 6 degrees, which explained why the Pinto's heater wasn't working. I could put my hands on the radiator. Lol
It was the cleanest well kept City I had ever been in.
The hummers here, are down in number already and the ones that are left are pretty aggressive. I'm in southeast Louisiana.
The toenail if the state were a boot.

Kansas City is a democrat run hole with few airguns for sale these days. Lots of my former "customers" from almost 25 years working for Missouri Dept of Corrections live there and in St. Louis. Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

That sounds like down in the Buras area. I grew up and went to school in W.Monroe, Monroe, now in E. Texas. Makes me glad I am not down your way during hurricaine season.I visited Kansas city around 1975. It was 6 degrees, which explained why the Pinto's heater wasn't working.

Actually I'm in Sun La, Buras is 2 1/2 hours drive south. You definitely don't want to be there in a hurricane..

Installed some sport March rings and a new scope on my kids hw30s. Zero’d it in for her at 25 yard. This thing is no joke a laser.
