Didn't actually shoot today... But we did stuff to prep our newly rearranged covered shooting range. We have a 12' wide wrap around deck surrounding our mobile home. The metal roof covers the entire thing, including our home. At one end of the rear of our home is the spare room/indoor 'tinker bench' and a combined room that Betty Lou's computer and the compressors occupy. There is a door from there to the rear deck. Just outside that door is where we put the shooting table. Using the Tasco rangefinder, it's 31yds to the other end of the covered deck where we set the target trap.Before today, it was set up the opposite and we only used 2/3 the distance.So now we have a sweet covered 31yd shooting range with our guns, compressors, tanks and all other shooting related items just inside the door from the bench.We have fans and lights for night shooting when it cools down outside. I'll have roll up tarps I can drop to enclose us if it rains. We can also fire up a torpedo propane heater for the colder months..... all 2 of them... lol
Had fun with a pizza box at 20 yds with my Supressed Daisy 415 as fast as it goes. (Frose the CO2 cartridge to the top). Neighbors were gone so I took the moderator off to shoot. I realized it is less accurate that way and DOUBLE FEEDS. Somehow they seem to go out the hole (larger) when the supressor is on.Missed a couple sparrows with my 177 Disco Pistol grip/2289 stock. Not goood. I need a better trigger on this! Used my 2260 HPA with Prod trigger after that and it is night and day.Sighted in my stock Discovery with a different moderator. Dang, there is another trigger that needs work. I've been away so long I didn't realize how bad it was.
Went to Jeff AKA Privateer's house we shot lolly pops, spinners, steels, targets, some orange road pickets he painted black what a really cool reactive target. He filled my tank and gave me a small bottle I need to valve. What a great night of plinking with a great friend.
And here's my shooting today so far, this one is a shorter video shooting a little faster.
Morning.... same here. I been up for an hour or so. Betty Lou just rolled out and Rambo has been outside barking at things that go bump in the night.I also took my coffee out and sat at the new shooting bench contemplating the next steps. I'm going back out in a few to work on the target end and try to get some junk moved off of the deck and into an out building. Dan... trust me, you don't want to see pics of the mess I have just yet. Pics will come soon.
