Shot my new toy at 25 yards out back

It's all I have unless I drive 45 minutes east . Wind from 10 o'clock in my face with sun in my eyes

here are a couple pictures and the flyer is all me

Shooting Air Arms 25.4gr Diabolo pellets

The FX Crown is amazing , I'm sure that with slightly better conditions I can tighten that group. I was shooting off a bipod and stool for the first time in many months

Funny story, yesterday my neighbor behind me had a bunch of workers up on his roof replacing the shingles. I said the heck with it and went out and shot anyhow. Had the Gauntlet out and they did not notice at first. But then I shot some beer cans "POP , Tink" that got their attention. Two of them looked over at me in plan sight. They smiled and gave a thumbs up gesture

Anyhow I shot a variety of guns this afternoon. Got of work a little early and the roofers were finished.

Went and shot the Benji Titan to get my springer action in

Did 'okay' with it at about 20 yards. Was doing some Chrony testing and averaged around 760fps

Then I got out the Gauntlet which still had some air in it and shot several dozen rounds through it till it fell off the regulator. Average around 780fps

Since the chrony was out I grabbed the Diana Bandit and gassed it up. No real average as the fps had a definite curve climbing upwards shooting 18gr pellets at nearly 700fps! then falling off to the mid to low 500's

I am spoiled by the regulated Gauntlet.

Unfortunately, in a lot of US areas nowadays, the authorities would have probably been called..............and a SWAT team deployed

Heh.. I kind of thought of that but I figured that the guys doing the roofing were most likely, uh, how do they say it? Undocumented Ailens and probably don't want any interaction with law enforcement if it can be avoided.

I forgot to mention that I speak some Spanish and overhead them saying something like "Crazy Gringo with a BB gun"

Popped a gray nutter climbing the utility pole with the .22 Gen 1 Mrod. Power goes out many times each year from them grounding themselves out on the transformer. After that, took some shots at my tennis balls that are hanging in tree limbs ranging from 50-70 yards. Good times.

One last question; are the inscriptions gold or black?

I shot my new AT44, my first ever PCP. Wow. Now I get why it's called "the Dark Side".

It's gold. My phone camera make it appear gray but it's gold, and kinda hard to see.

I didn't have any problems sighting in the scope. First pellet hit at 6:00 four inches low at 10 yards. Adjust elevation, shoot, adjust elevation.......Four pellets later, it was dead on at 10 yards. Then I had to put everything away. Maybe tomorrow I'll get some more time to check out the scope. Looking at quality of glass and finish, I think I got my money's worth. I think I'm going to like the thin lines on the crosshairs.

Ditto!
I have been on the look out for a "cheap" A/O silver toned scope.
Nice find and glad you like it.

Worked on the Rex P and finally got it to shoot again. Trigger adjustment on this gum is a pain to work with. Hopefully the weather will break enough to shoot it today and try the heavier NOE pellets I poured a few weeks ago.

The on/off switch on my Vevor compressor fried this morning. Robbed the one from my MKII that is on the bench needing a high side seal replacement. Vevor is back up and running like a champ. Now I need to order a replacement for the MKII. The sun keeps ducking in and out between rain. So I'll sit here and watch Bristol until it makes up it's mind.

Incubating Ayam Cemani & Blue Ameraucana eggs...bare with me, there is gun related in here somewhere...candled several eggs, those not fertile made it to the AG range at 30 yrds...told ya...went to town with a couple of my Benji's.

i made 2 more targets. one large and one small for easy carry.
we get medical supplies in styrofoam coolers every month. the coolers come in cardboard boxes. i fill the coolers with rubber mulch and tape the boxes closed. then paper targets are affixed to them.

i'm still shooting the original target i made last summer, so these should last a long time.

Put a orange dot sticker centered on my 3" gongs and hung them out at my backstop at 35 yards.
Then repainted the paddles my squirrel and boar resettables.
