Shot two tree rats with my HW95. And, I keep forgetting to adjust my aim for closer shoots: turned a head shot into a body shot--drats!

Shot my P17.

Shot my Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk, .177--had a sweet plinking session with it.

It was a great morning before and evening after work.

I just tested my last batch of cast 30 grain BBT's with my Crosman 150.

For the first time in weeks, no rain, the sun was out, and very little wind when I got off work.
Jumped on the mower and knocked out the back yard.
Brought out the new FD XS-12 and a few pellets... zeroed the scope, and started the break-in process. Pretty sweet little shooter but it hates CPHP's Had better luck with the RWS Basics and even better with the SuperDomes.
Then I realized it was dead calm and still 73 degrees! So I grabbed the "Crojiman" 2060 carbine I built, a fresh Co2 cart, and a tin of Benjiman .20's.
Moved the target out to 20 yards as all I had really done with it yet was zero the scope when it was about 65 degrees...
WOW, 5 shots one single hole!
I was shooting a tad high and I could not see the pellet in flight now so I know the warmer temps help this gun out!
I moved it out to 30 yards and the next group opened up to about an inch.... then my wife came home and I had to put the toys away for the night. Hoping tonight I can play some more.

Shot my RWS 48 in .177 today. Was shooting at those metal silhouette targets of a ram a chicken and a pig. Nailed all three at 45 yards with the for stock rested across the seat of my CBR1100XX. Tried to hit the ram at 45 yards off hand but no way no how. I did it with the 4X no brand name scope that came with my Aspen mounted in the clone of the Diana ZR that I installed set screws in to remove the slop.

Measured it out to where I was shooting the little siloets and it turns out to be only 39 yards.

Paintballs on golf tees with my HW98 .177, it was a rare Nebraska morning with the wind less than 5 mph. I shot for almost 3 hours, first serious paintball session this year. I forgot how challenging those tiny .40 blowgun paintballs are, great fun.

Hoosier Daddy · « **Reply #5406 on:** May 31, 2019, 05:58:12 PM »

Mike,
I have shot paint-balls at 10-15M with my FWB300s but have not tried it with my 98 yet.
Thanks for the idea...sounds challenging!
What kind of distance are you shooting?

Crosman 66 PowerMaster,...now with Walther 4x scope.

I need to dig my 66 out and give it some love. Loved on the 10/22 and 880 today. The Ruger is shooting flawlessly so far. The scope rail is in just got to go to the post office to pick it up. The 880 was a breeze to shoot, just a few pumps and a ragged hole at 10yds. A good day with the rifles.

I also shot a couple chippers and a red squirrel on the state land today. When I got home I also had the aroma of fresh squirrel stew which turned out fantastic.

Just punched some paper at 33 yards with the Titan... so so…

BackStop · « **Reply #5411 on:** May 31, 2019, 10:02:17 PM »

3 tree rats. 2 with head shots at 25 yards. The last was at 60 yards and I did not know how high to hold.
I held too low, but it was a kill.
Nova Vista Freedom on high power pumped to 3200psi using Crosman 10.5 (brown box) Premier Domed pellets for all shots.

Outstanding!

Keep us posted about the Nova Vista Freedom. I'm not into PCPs yet and don't think my wife will support much more of this growing hobby. At this point, I need more grandchildren to designate as future recipients of these fine air rifles and pistols that I'm ... er.... acquiring.

Hey Archie,
I had a Crosman v-350 push barrel BB gun as a child and then in my early 20's I bought a Crosman 1477 pump pistol. It wasn't until I was in my 50's that I bought a Crosman Fire/F4 break barrel and I was never really satisfied with it. The trigger was terrible and it jumped violently when shot. I did make some head shots with it as I got used to it, but it was never satisfying.
The .177 Freedom is my first PCP, and although it is not perfect, I am loving it! The Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x33 is a on it now. It is a good scope, but I really would like MORE magnification to help with those rodent head shots. Most of my shots come at about 25 yards, but like today, I do have an occasional good shot at 40-70 yards. In those cases, I sometimes wish I had a more powerful scope.
Maybe I just need to sight in at a little farther than 25 yards? All I know is I am happy with the Freedom so far and don't regret the purchase!
Thanks for the reply!

There's no doubt in my mind that the Freedom's are go getter's in the small game department, mine has served me well so far, for the $108 shipped I sure the heck can't complain. The REAL freedom part kicks in even more using my 19.6 grain cast in it.

If the Freedom holds up, it is definitely a keeper!
When I was shooting the Fire/F4, I was starting to think that I just really could not shoot with consistent accuracy.
It wasn't just me... it was mostly the gun.

(Yeah... that's what they ALL say...chuckle)

Been checking out a bunch of pellets in my 760 smoothbore. Amazingly accurate at 30 ft depending on the pellet. Overall, the pointed pellets are the best. Long pellets like the sniper magnum are terrible in the smoothbore which is OK since they do well in my 901. Even the cheapest Daisy pellets perform well in the 760. For an inexpensive little gun, it is a lot of fun.

Anything that can shoot cheap Daisy pellets consistently accurate is a keeper in my book!
I guess, since it is a smooth bore, accuracy after 10 yards is going to degrade no matter what pellet you use since there is no stabilizing spin.
Never had any luck with any Daisy pellets, so +1 for you!

Did some test shooting out of my new crony. I did crank the hammer spring up just to see the difference made. So now more testing to follow.
