Yes, it was the first rifle I worked on. It is really easy to cock and much smoother than prior to the kit. Lost about 1.8 fpe, switched to a lighter pellet. Remarkably accurate.

I need to do the same, I find I don't shoot my prosport as much because of the heavy cocking stroke. I'll get to it one day, currently I have the 98 on the bench in all it's pieces, it will get worked over, also have a set back trigger on the way for it.

So I shot my FWB 150 off of my new super stable bench. Unfortunately the wind was wicked, so I tried to "read the wind" and used 2 wind flags for the first time. What an experience, I sucked big time but learned a lot. In South Florida, the nicest shooting weather is accompanied by wind. My flags: my wife had some flimsy pink material. One at the pellet trap and another half way. I used to be a windsurfer so this wind thing I know...lots to learn with shooting. I posted this in the 30 yd thread but here's a card with two efforts, the circled ones are the first go around without wind info.Tjhe others are the second time around, trying to adjust. I have a new-to-me expression..."damn! I hit exactly where I was aiming". I'm sure all of you use wind flags...;-)

Unfortunately Kentucky windage is not an exact science. In the end it's a guesstimate unless a cross wind is locked and not gusting. Today I compensated right only to have it hit further right, look up at the wind sock and it's pointing the opposite direction.
Yes, I talk with my wife while I am shooting, and often and say I compensated for that one and the shot was right on the crosshairs!

Your target box looks very similar to my 2007 built target box. Mine has a carry handle on top as well, but it's covered by the brown towel in this photo.✌🏻

Just another spectacular day, 56F and sunny, windy but not hitting me. Started off with a HW77 .25. Again best plinker. Shooting wet snow balls for targets. You get the splash. Expensive targets for free.

My target area is quickly thawing out.

This is what my targets see with lead flying at them. I’m on left side.

Also shot a HW97kt .177
IMG_1271.jpeg
Put in over 4 hours of shooting. Superb weather.
Also shot another HW97 .20. Shot these both last week, looked like a shot gun. Stock screws were falling out. Much tighter today.

And finally got a working scope on this D34 .22. Night and day.
