What springer did you shoot today?

[Bandito]

We had lots of really fine rain. Good thing, but it was too warm for snow and ice. The ground has been warming for a week so if it snows tonight or tomorrow as predicted it could be a sloppy mess. No powder snow here! Be Well Brothers, Bandito.

wind 25 to 40 mph and blowing all the leaves i blew down the hill last fall , up the hill and back on my yard . .Shot the cheap china springer pistol indoors .

We had 3 inches of rain between about 7 & 9 an then it cleared off to a beautiful day, but wind is abnormally high 39mph gusting to about 45 so no shooting

Some first attempts at 40 yards with the new untuned HW98 and factory trigger blade. Had to wait until dark and put a flash light on the target because of the wind. It's picking back up now and supposed to blow the rest of the week.
The groups I circled I thought were the best today.....

I'd get four pellets touching and then one out..lol.

I'm really digging this 98.

 

[Rondo]

Nice groups, @bustachip. A fine specimen of a Weihrauch.
Which pellets were you using?

We tend to get our tropical storms, June through the end of November. Tornadoes anytime and sometimes devasting straight line winds.

Windmill 01 when the gales subside let us know you are still there! Be Well Brother, Bandito.

 

[humbled.ag]

Air Arms TX200. It's my FT gun, and I shoot a 50ft smallbore card almost every day with it.

Today I shot my R1, 77 and when they didn't do well I brought out my reliable 97 and 50. When they didn't do well either I figured it was time to stop. I shot the R1 and 77 later after dinner when wind laid down and did a little better than the morning but still not great. Just wasn't my day.

HW95 over the chrony with JSB 13.73s.for somebody?
The wind laid down a few times for some real fine shooting.
Now to go refresh my memory. Who was that?

Blew 25 to 36 all day no letting up, so no need to waste pellets today...lol.

Alfred will hit the coast early on Saturday (that’s tomorrow our time)morning as a category 2 cyclone, however the system is unusually expansive and will affect about 4.5 million people. We live about 15 minutes from Rainbow beach and we are about 2 minutes as the crow flys from the bay and Great Sandy Straight.
Im pretty sure we won’t be affected as much as the communities further south and in Brisbane the Gold Coast and northern NSW. Lots of power outages but we have a generator and tank water.
Ive just come out of hospital from having more cancer cut off the back of my tongue. Bloody painful and I can expect so I’m told about two weeks of pain. Can’t even have a beer or rum. Lucky i went in on Monday as they have cancelled all elective surgery.
I think I would rather put up with a cyclone than a tornado. Seen too many tornado movies.

All the best Gary.
If cyclones are like hurricanes it seems they would bring tornado activity with them like hurricanes do?
