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

[Back_Roads]

  Plinked with Umarex Canex #3 yes I am addicted to airguns for $22.50 each LOL I was hoping to get a clean shot on one of the unwelcome starling visitors, but no safe shots were presented.

4.51 FTTs with the Rocktitude and the R7.

Flipping steel with the Rocktitude at about 50 ft, standing, offhand using a mag and keeping shot count.

Flapping steel foxes down in the Diana trap with the R7, holding barrel end in left hand and the grip perpendicularlywhen cocking to utilize my lats more, and standing, shooting offhand at about 50 ft.

 I had the P-force in the truck with me while tending out fertilizer spreader, while working in the orchard I spied a G-hog dig in. There was no enemy encounter so I fired the BBT at a steel fence post ay 50 yards to clear the rifle before moving to the next orchard. Nailed the post and made it ring

 Apartment building is empty...
 I shot the Tech Force 79  (.177)
          the Crosman 400 (.22)
         the Mrod  (.25)
    and finally the Crosman 362 (.22)
   all into the pellet trap.
 400 was loudest with no LDC.

I love an empty building.... bring out the loud guns!

Some quiet ones.

K98 @ 14 fpe with FTT 4.51s and a Rocker1 with some weathered taping, which I like.

Silver Streak with 13.58gr baracudas @ 4 pumps.

So happy to hear you are liking the Silver Streak... they are truly a treasure!
Sent some JSB 13.73 down range on mine tonight at 6 pumps.

I put out the pellet trap with a previously-holed soda can hanging in it. Last week I shot it 70 times with the P3, trying to cut it in half. Today I limited myself to 20 pellets max (still feeling washed out, tired). The shots tore away a fair bit of the aluminum but there remain two eternally maddening ultraskinny strips holding the lower half on. ARGH. Again, it was done from 33', mostly standing and a few sitting on the ground, and as usual half LH and half RH.

Debating whether to try to cut those two strips in the next session or just give up.

Yeah, loving the streak!

I notice the pin at the muzzle tries to move out and I have to keep pushing it back in place before it does.  Not a big deal to keep an eye on it, but maybe there's a common fix?

Rion, I am assuming you are talking about the roll pin that secures the pump arm linkage.
Back when I owned a silver streak this is what I did.
You can pull the roll pin and install a cap screw with an appropriately long smooth shank on it then use a lock nut to secure it.
Once that is done trim any excess length of threads on the cap screw.

Yes, that is the part I was talking about.  Thank you, Tom.  What happened to your Silver Streak?

Hi Rion.

Nothing happened to my Silver Streak.
It was fine and shooting good.
I downsized from the 25 rifles and pistols that I had to the one that I actually hunted with.
I sent the Silver Streak to 19Sheridans 57 ( Steve).
I wanted it to have a home that it deserved and would be appreciated and properly taken care of.
That rifle was a real looker. I did not take it any place other than my backyard for fear of stock damage.
Consequently I did not shoot it much and it just sat in my gun safe most of the time.

 I shot a music video Plinking in the woods.

That is a beautiful rifle, Tom!  Thank you for the story of it.  I appreciate downsizing to the guns you hunt with and sending the rifle to a good home.  You got class!

I felt like shooting my beautiful '80 Sheridan E pistol this evening.

I was informed that there were crows in the garden and Mrs. P was concerned that they were getting to her corn that she had just planted.  I slinked out to the shop and grabbed the Taipan Veteran.  The fierce pup was already fully charged with compressed air and a magazine loaded in the rifle.  I slipped out around the corner of the shop keeping as much cover between me and the perps.  As I got closer I skirted the perimeter and moved out towards the corn field.  I saw nothing.  It was a false alarm.  I inspected the ground where the seeds were and the soil had not been disturbed.  I prefer not to kill and I was a bit mixed in my emotions when I found out that the targets had fled.  Maybe next time I’ll draw blood.

Well written storyto wake up to.  Thanks, Brett.
