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

[Wayne52]

Archie I've got it sighted in for 40 yards, it's just as accurate as my Liberty which is very accurate, I use the same pellet in both too, my cast 19.6 grain .22 Hunters.

I have cast lots of bullets for muzzleloaders, round ball and maxi balls, and you could always tell where the sprue had been.  I can't see any evidence of a sprue on those cast pellets.  Where is it???

It's the meplat (nose) where the sprue is at, the sprue hole is a little smaller than the entire flat on the nose portion of the pellet

Was going to work on my PBs today but instead I got into the other cabinet. Decided to pull " da Girlz" out for a little shooting in the warm sun for some CO2 fun. I pulled out the Discos and my Max too just because. After shooting springers and pumpers almost always for the last 5 months it was a good change to shoot them. Nothing like target shooting, just plinking and having fun.

            Took a couple pics of my "Girlz".

I shot a red squirrel and two chippers today too.

[bear air]

Got a squirrel in the yard earlier. And gave a free pass to a ground hog! I was pretty shocked to see him in the yard.

Took out a couple collared doves early this A.M. sitting on the deck drinking my coffee. 34p .177, CPLs, Hawke Airmax 4X12

After finishing some chores, I'd decided to do a little shooting as dusk settled in. The shooting god was smiling upon me today. Hit just about everything I took some at. Smashing nickel sized mint candies and dime sized paintballs at 30yd with the NP2 SBD. Decided to exercise my daughter's Pumpmaster 760 that's been untouched since last summer. It's got a cheapo $5 Tasco 2X scope on it. Darn thing shot really well! Plinking cans and a Halloween plastic rat at 30yd.
Then finished things off with the slingshot, with paintballs as the ammo. Probably the best I've ever shot this thing.
This made up for such a dreary, cloudy day.

Yesterday I finally managed to get some shooting time in.  I broke out my 1377, the rifle-barreled 760, and the CZ-634 to test the Winchester Domes (the TSC tins that cost next to nothing).  Wouldn't ya know my CZ has another "liked" pellet.  The 1377 also liked them- enough so that there's one less squirrel.  Got so busy with those two I neglected to try them in the 760.

Then after some Cinco-de-Mayo celebrating I took a few shots with RWS Hobby wadcutters in the 392PA and the 2400KT.  As suspected, my 392PA likes 'em a lot.  Even more than it likes Polymags and Gamo RedFires, so I have a new "favorite pesting pellet"- especially since they're cheaper than RWS Meisterkugeln wadcutters.  The 2400KT continues to impress me as a versatile "shoots almost everything well" low-power airgun.  Very happy considering the Crosman 10-land barrel.

And finally, took a few shots with my 1740 to ensure the loading is smooth.  The bolt handle was binding on the aluminum breech so I took care of that a while back, just haven't really put any lead down range.  Used the Winnie domes in that but now I have to chamfer the leade a little.  I'm shaving a tiny sliver as I load. 



Scott- that .20 looks amazing.  Shoots darn well, too.

Set up with the kids yesterday afternoon and shot until dark.  5 hours of shooting.  I was a pumping fool and the fix-it man.

Brett its time to buy a compressor. At least you didn't have to set up the targets, you would have been worn out for sure. Love the range, everybody gets a work out.

Wow, Brett, that looks like a seriously fun day with the family!

The Peterson Fun Shoot

[Matchstickshooter]

Put some CPHP through the 1740 carbine.

[anti-squirrel]

Single RWS Hobby WC at a critter via 392 PA.  Results were typical.

[bantam5s]

I had a feeling the American Boy would have an appetite for CPHP'S and Walmart had some back in the case today.
Did some testing, and boy was I right.
Not quite single hole, but keep in mind in using a peep sight with a .93 aperture.


I'm telling you I've really gotten lucky, all my guns shoot well with at least one of the affordable Crosman pellets Available at Walmart.

Judging that target I'd say you did great!

You are correct Kris, it IS time for a compressor.  I need to rub a few pennies together to get the funds together for a Nomad 2 possibly. 

Can the compressor be left on to fill multiple guns or does it have to be shut down then powered up each time? 

I知 thinking about maybe getting the larger compressor and a tank.  I値l fill the tank from the compressor and fill each gun from the tank.  I知 not totally decided yet.  I do have some time to decide but I think I could have a compressor by the end of the year.  I would like to find one with a discount.

The Peterson Fun Shoot

I was soooo much fun.  I did get to shoot some.  It was great to have everyone out there.

Thanks.
I'm very happy, the scoped group's I was getting were really worrying me.
Luckily it was just the parallax throwing me off.

Its one at a time but it doesn't take long to fill either, probably less time than pumping. I paid $650 for the Nomad ll. It has just about paid for itself already. I filled the Hercules(1000cc) with it from zero to 3600psi in about 20 min. It will take me about 5 to 8 min. now to fill it. I like the plug in wall or car battery option, for me I have done away with dragging tanks around all together with it. Filters can be found on Ebay.

My R7 after I scoped it with  an old Leupold 4X Rimfire scope! 
I got two tuned HWs a couple of days ago and I had to compare my R7 with the HW30 (Vortexed) and the HW50 (Rob Hawkins Tuned).  All three have smooth butter operation. 

These HWs are addicting.

[Oldgringo]

I spent hours, a beaucoup amount of various pellets trying to discover what pellet, hold and rest my brand new HW35E preferred.  Finally, we got one ragged hole, a 5-shot group at 30 yards, with H&N 4.51 FTT's.  Can we do it again, I dunno; but, I was worn out trying yesterday and today.
