Title: It's Hammerli time! 56°, 6 mph wind, sunny
Post by: Marc In Iowa on May 30, 2020, 10:32:05 AM
56°, 6 mph wind, sunny morning.

Clean barrel, fresh COČ.

Deck rail.

$3 thrift store 10" gong, 85 yds.

2 shots, 2 hits, TUNK TUNK!

The only thing that would have been better was fresh Bug Soother to keep the gnats away! I hopped back inside quickly to escape them. 🙂

 Along with CO2 weather comes the bugs  >:( I may have spent one of the last bug free evenings shooting my O2 guns, but sure am having a blast with mine the last few weeks. That Hammer has been taunting me more and more vs. the Umarex Hammer as of late ;)

I've even got a way to "beat the bugs."

My all-season, all-weather, Indoor/Outdoor shooting range from my office window.

I don't have quite the variety of targets in this range (25, 40 & 55 yds only) but I can sit indoors rain or shine and only a small gap in the window for insects to "bug me." 🙂

MArc: The sniper at the window picture looks a whole lot like a 10/22 CO2....I'm going to bet it will be a lot harder to hit that swinging gong with that one.



HAve faith in the 85o's ability....not so much with the 10/22co2....but I've been eyeballing one.

Yup. Can't do it.

Here's two groups from the sniper window at 25 yds. I really enjoy that Ruger "10/22" replica. Tons of fun for plinking. Long range accuracy ... not so much. 🙂

Nope...sanity reins....think times are going to get pretty tough...going to pass. 

HAve enough of the 12gr. gobbling-critters.


Did find out the Hamerli/Walter//RWS/UmereX would shoot cheap-azz tinned 10.5 gr. Crosmans well enough to use
