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

[Xraycer]

I would be afraid, not knowing what I was doing, that I would get a dose of venom.

I believe I've read/heard that snake venom would be harmless if ingested, and that cooking(high heat) would also alter the venom's deadly properties.

I've eaten rattlesnake, but it was when I was a kid and would eat anything!  LOL!  As I recall, it tasted like greasy chicken!

HaHa, everything I ask about, someone will tell me it tastes like chicken!

Yep, I think chicken taste like just about everything! 

This would actually make sense, since it is theorized that birds evolved from reptiles. If so, then it is actually chicken that tastes like reptilians.

 From now on I will say things taste like reptile

[Xraycer]

It would just be more accurate.

Now, in regards to what came first, the chicken/reptile or the egg? No body will ever know!

That's funny

Now, that's fresh!

.........or a zombie rattler: an ophidiophobia's worst nightmare!

A snake with my 2240 stubby.
"Willie G. Stubbs" vs. "Ca" the timber rattler.
Willie G. wins.

Bill, I just have to ask, did you try cooking and eating any?     I have heard of people eating "Rattler" before.....

Nope, I've tried gator but I don't think I ever had snake of any kind. I would be afraid, not knowing what I was doing, that I would get a dose of venom. As long as there is a McDonalds, I don't need no snake.

Bill as long as you cut the venom sac's out when you cut the head off I don't think you have to worry about it, you sure did a number on the snake with that stubby, pretty danged cool.

It was calm before the storm.. Or so called storm.. I decided to figure the hold off needed for 20m shooting, from my basement 25ft range..

Using my 22cal PP800 Rebel. Mounted with a 2x20 pistol scope, shooting off a bipod and rear rest.

I was shocked at the drift, and I didn't think it was that windy. Downstairs it shot 1" high but centered. When I shot at 20m. I needed to hold off at the last right notch on this reticle. To hit center.

Thanks Wayne.
But like I said before... I don't think I've ever been hungry enough to eat a snake.... hope I never get that hungry.

I bet it tasted like chicken

That's 2 five shot groups, off the rest, at 30 yards with my 97K.  The dot is 1/2" in diameter.  The top group is <1/2" and the bottom group is 1/2" ctc.

Shot the break barrel cannon(135QE .30), happy with results. Tested the NOE pellets in it, they are averaging 46gr. They fit snug and seat flush in the chamber. I was using a bipod I hunt with and sitting on the tailgate of my truck. The target was placed at 25yds. This is the first time using cast pellets in this gun. Cocking force for this gun is 50lbs, so I got a good workout as well.

Just got done shooting the Gauntlet with the tune kit and regulator mod!

Pleased as punch 15fps spread over 40 shots

[Matchstickshooter]

Playing around/shooting my 1322 carbine..
 

also PC 77!

[bReTt]

HWR95...

Replaced the breech seal and the piston seal and relubed.  No more vertical stringing!  Yay! 

And the RS78.

I shot my Beeman P17.   Now that the weathers nicer, I try to shoot 30-40 pellets every day.  I can maintain good focus and control for that many shots pretty easily.   I don't want to get back in the habit of p__sing rounds all over the place just for the sake of pulling the trigger.

Great results for such an über magnum springer !

With open sights or scoped ?

Here's 40 shots that I did today

I am using a Hammers 3x9 40mm AO air gun rated scope with a one piece scope mount on it, so far the scope is holding up to this beast. I usually bench shoot with this gun but wanted to try the hunting bipod to see how it grouped with it. I have more pellets made up in that weight and hope to get some chrony numbers this weekend with it.

I unboxed the Daisy 1894 spittin' image saddle gun after it arrived yesterday. Put 6 BB's in it, not a one came out. Now all 3 Daisy 1894's are doing that? Shoot & sound fine...just no BB's come out. Dang it.



  If y'all know what could cause this, speak up. My son's birthday is 4/27 & the base model one shown on top above was to be his present.
