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

[AG72]

Breakin in my new hatsan 125 sniper vortex with FTT at 15 and 30 meters, looks promising, but i need to adress the trigger...

Got up, put on coffee and jumped in the shower. Gonna finish the first cup, grab a second and head to the shop. Wait for Betty Lou to hit me up on the walkie when breakfast is ready later.
I'm gonna rip back into that AM77. It's not building the power it should. I suspect the oring on the valve.

Oh now that is just BRILLIANT!
Wish I could teach Hoosier Momma that.... She's more of a "If you're not here, you missed out" kinda gal.

You guys have it easy.  I'm the one who makes breakfast in this family.

Paint-balls at 20 yards with my HW98...
Too dang much fun!

Got my new-to-me-but-used Colt Army six shooter (John Wayne com. ed.) set up today. Started plinking away at my box with a backer board. It's a sweet shooting Western hand gun. It's got a rather fine bead, too.

Oh, my wife says that it's too loud. It sounds about right, to me.

waaaaay too easy, bump it out to 40

Scoped the 10/22 and shot the snot out of it. 10 carts and a half of a tin of pellets later, big ol grin from total euphoria.

Kris.... was that at single or double action? If double I bet your finger is sore.

You're right Mike.... I then tried the 35 from my table to the backstop.
 The gun can do it if I do my part.

I then brought the XS60-C out of hibernation. Been about 6 months since it was warm enough for CO2 here.
MAN, I SURE MISSED THIS GUN!!
82 degrees is right in my happy zone.

Tried out 01 Crosman 760 variant 9(clip) into pellet trap with Crosman wads.
Does just dandy 15-20 feet open sights.
  It's a smooth bore!

Kris.... was that at single or double action? If double I bet your finger is sore.

I did both and the finger is doing fine. The double action is not that bad. It has a long travel but breaks cleanly. The single action is quick with no drag. The JSB Heavy 10.34gr held the tightest group at 15yds.

I got a new to me Steyr LP1 CO2 match pistol today and have been it shooting for a couple of hours.  10M of a good rest its a one holler.  Free hand not so much.  I did hit the paper though.
Kind of fiddley pellet loading but it is a sweet shooter & very back yard friendly @ 450 FPS.

My latest acquisition arrived today, the Crosman Vigilante .177 pistol. Oh, is it fun. I've put fifty pellets through it so far. I'm pleased with the accuracy at 5 and 8 yards so far. Also, spent some time shooting my recent Colt Army SA revolver: the SA on this pistol is just outstanding!!!!!! Did I mention how well I'm enjoying the single action of this Colt army replica?!  Now, it's not as easy to be accurate with as the Vigilante, but it's a sweet shooting pellet pistol.

Lastly, shot my Crosman Nitro Venom Dusk .177. Whereas I praised the trigger in my last post, I'm bashing it for today's practice session. I hope it's just the humidity and the rain or something else to blame it own. My shots weren't that bad, but I had not a single bulls-eye. Maybe 60% of my shots would have been adequate "head shots" on a tree rat, but none of them would have equaled my POA.

Tomorrow's another day!...even if the Lord's Day.

Shot 2 RWS Hobby WC at the spinner with my 392PA, missed both times, so I put the 392 down and grabbed my 2400KT.  Missed once, then forget that the barrels on both guns shoot lower with the RWS Hobby WC compared to the Meisterkugeln WC.  I then grabbed the 392PA, slapped another cartridge in the 2400KT, and made that spinner SPIN.  Time to order some more pellets!

[UlteriorModem]

Went out kind of early this morning to practice with the springers. After about a dozen rounds the sun was beaming down on my spot and it got HOT fast!

Had to quit for now. Maybe get some of the target matches in later this afternoon.

[fwbsport]

Went down the line starting with the R9 at steel. Then the HW97, HW57, HW50 (.177), and finally to the .22 HW50.

I'll get to the FWB and the Theoben later today.  When that happens those steel targets are going to really slam.

Dispatched another tree rat this morning. Squirrel just kinda laid over....

Exciting way to start the day, denying yet another home/yard invader. Vermin, beware: I'm loaded to bare....Now, where did I put my gun? 

Having fun and being safe, though my grandson wanted to know what God thought of me killing His creatures? He's the eldest, six and soon to have a birthday. I may only make a paper shooter out of him. I remember as a kid being sad that my dad, uncle, or granddad had shot Bambi's daddy...  

A friend saw the morning evidence of my "marksmanship" (all of 10 yards) and indicated that he could never shoot a living creature. A few minutes earlier, my adjacent neighbor thanked me for thinning the huge numbers of squirrels shared by our backyards. We've both incurred expenses from squirrels eating into eaves and soffits. In his case, he tried trapping them but only trapped a few.

Different strokes for different folks. I think that I'm having way more fun.
