Title: Was DT Fletcher vision impared? (Kidding)
Post by: JoninMA on August 21, 2020, 06:54:29 PM
So the Plainsman pistol and Crosman 38T arrived on Monday, I charged them up when I got home from work, no leaks from the Plainsman, Crosman hissed for 2 seconds then went silent. Both shot high and to the right, sites were obviously way off. Came home today and did some shooting while grilling....both held gas perfectly, I lucked out. Anybody else notice he had his own peculiar aim point?

I think a lot of his guns were just collectors pieces to him and were never shot.  If you look at what is being sold he did have quite a few customized rifles with telescopic sights, sign of shooting with old eyes?

I can add this:  I am the owner of a Daisy 717 from the DT Fletcher Collection.  The scope arrived with a broken rear sight assembly that had to be replaced (even though it was reported to be like new in box 100%).  So I doubt that DT Fletcher did any shooting with it.  Replacement rear sights were from JG Airguns BTW.

We use it with a red dot.  I took the silver medal in the 10m pistol match #10 with a score of 89/100.

PM me if you want to know who sold it to me with an undisclosed busted rear sight but you  can probably guess.
