Title: Finally got a chance to get in the woods!
Post by: notyal50 on November 04, 2015, 07:20:18 PM
First post in the hunting gate and still very new to the forum. Got a chance to take out the 95 vortex today and finally had some success. I had already saw two or three but could not get them to be still long enough for a shot. I decided to sit still for awhile and sure enough one slipped out on a branch about 25 yards away. First one of the season with the air rifle!! Thanks for looking guys.

I know how it feels, got 2 yesterday with my 97 K.  But I am looking forward to getting my 95 back from Motorhead tuned,  :P

Congrats, nice shooting. Welcome to the GTA. Been warming up old faithful(1377) for a busy weekend in the woods. Hopefully the rain will hold off to put some in the pot.  :D

Nice job on the squirrel and welcome to GTA.  Good to see another neighbor here.  I'm up the road from you about an hour and a half.  I read your introductory post and see you're picking up the sport.  That's great!  I do a little tuning, mainly on PCP rifles, so if you want to shoot some different rifles, just let me know and we can do that one Saturday or Sunday and cook out on the grill.  We can shoot out to at least 70 yards here and I have targets set up at various distances.

Thanks to all you guys! Phil I m still a novice in the airgun field so I don't have much to compare it too, but I will tell you I love it so far! And Jason I will have to get with you when I get a little more money in my pocket for some advice on a pcp. Haha

Layton, well done!  Sometimes I use a lip squeak to get squirrels to give me a pause.
