So.....what did you shoot today?

[buellm2]

I shot the BB version P365.  I loaded up in the shop, picked up a 70# bag and jogged with that on my shoulders for 120 yards.  Drop the bag, load the magazine, engage 3 targets with 3 shot multiples until empty.  Throw the bag back on my shoulders and jog 75 yards back to the shop to reload BBs and do it all over again.  I did this for 4 reps with no weighted back and a victory lap on the 5th one.  It definitely gets the heart rate up ⬆️ ❤️‍🔥 and it was fun too 🥳😎

That really does sound like fun.  But not something this old guy could do.

I bet you could build up to some form of it if you put your mind to it.  I’m enjoying this whole new thing.  I’ve been doing this without the shooting part for a bit now.  I have needed a new challenge in my life and this is good for my body too.

My Hawke scope came in today and I mounted it on my new TX200, sighted it in and spent about an hour getting into the method of cocking and loading and knocking down several of my reactive targets.  Fun gun for sure.  Also I'm a lefty and I cock with my left hand and load with my right and it seem to work just great.  Also the right hand stock work just fine for this lefty.  Charles

My 853 does that too, but probably not as fast as your 853C.
I load one shot at a time.

I'm building an 853, more on that later.
I ordered a part from this company and the website listed it for an 853, but it's actually for an 853C. It's the valve body barrel assembly and it will not work for a single shot 853.

More on all of this later.

Thursday LGR Day
Started with the .303 Challenger (ThikGirl).
The .302 NOE enlarged slugs grouped tighter than the .2995s but still not acceptable.
The Strike 46gr Pellets left a two pellet touching width rectangular ragged hole varying with shot count.
The AG probably would have to be de-tuned down to sub90fpe to make these group...
One mag confirmed that the NSA .303x61.5gr are one ragged hole at 25yards all day long.

Discovered that I did not reinstall the Notos barrel correctly after slugging as she FTF...

Ended with some 3-5yard cloverleafs with the pp800r Romeo5 dot and Apollo 18s or NOE 19.4s

Once again got the "what's that for?" (GXpump) and "that's cool" from another PB guy....

I prefer single shot. I have the clips but I like the single shot tray better.

Just plinking today, first with my R9 and then I grabbed my Diana 34. Both rifles shoot the FFT 4.52 equally well. Both capable of hitting 1/2" spinners at 30 yards repeatedly. Today after the wind picked up I move the spinner rack to 25 yds.

I also tried the resetable knock down target RAT ON THE RUN  from Air Venturi .

The picture below is a screenshot off the Amazon site, cuz I forgot to take a picture of mine out back this morning.

Nice to see you back & getting range time Lt Dan!

Thanks, I've been shooting, just not airguns.

This has been my inspiration lately… but with BB guns

[sekiar]

Mounted a Hawke Vantage scope on my new Cometa Fusion in .22, that Jon tuned and boy does it show.  Trigger top notch so light I had to be sure I was ready to fire before placing my finger on the trigger.  My feed back between trigger and brain ain't as sharp as it once was. Charles

I shot the "Big Boys" today.

Okay I guess I',m modifying the Notos.  Slugged the barrel and having fits getting it clocked.  eBayed the M4x4 grub screws and the $60 plenum kit.  Looks like maxing the regulator and moving to an 18 shot high power tune instead of the current 24 shot 20fpe tune....enter rabbit hole

[rcflyair]

Up today is my first 22 caliber, lets hope she's gentle...
Put the steel breach and 3-9x50 UTG scope on last night - 20 yard target shooter?

[avator]

Nothing yet. Been moving stuff around, cleaning and organizing. I put the OrcAir compact compressor and one of the 2k lego guns in the Casting Cabin so I'll most likely shoot that some.
One of those loud mouth little brown birds took over one of the blue bird houses. I may need to evict it.  That fake 3622 is perfect for the job.

Nothing today and the forecast calls for wind in the 20s ramping up to the 30s. Been the case many days for almost two months now.

But after dinner last night, it only puffed intermittently, with enough time in between them to make practicing worthwhile. I started with the scoped 880 at 50’, standing offhand (conservatively estimated; probably was a little farther). Then to the peeped Blue Streak at 50’ also, which did not go well until I switched down to closer shots and worked back up to 50’. And then I suddenly readjusted myself to using the peep sight, with successive good hits.

I’ve noticed both in pistol and rifle offhand practice that the wobbles are worst at the beginning. I have to consciously tell myself, “Calm down and relax!” This even applies when shooting sitting on the ground with a bent knee supporting my supporting arm.

Offhand is the most fun for me, but also the hardest. It’s a good thing the funness provides incentive to keep practicing.
