I hung 5 new soup cans out back in the trees. They were at 40, 45, 50, and two at 60 yards.

I put on a Bipod and Mount from AirGun Detectives on my Gamo Wildcat Whisper.Purchased a Benjamin Discovery .22 from the Classifieds.C'mon Spring !!!
Stomped around in the woods with my new WMA AG hunting buddy as an excuse to "test drive" a new to me AEA Challenger in .30. We struck an accord and will have some wings and trading Friday (I'll have to post on the what did you receive thread...lol).I like the power, the bolt action and the accuracy. It is heavier than the Gamo synthetic break barrel, but 8 times the knock down power and 3 times the range.
I've been enjoying shooting tin cans at 50 - 60 yrd with my R7 .177 and Hw50 .22. But what I don't like is have to change the cans out. I decided to cut some 4" length pieces off of a old cyclone fence corner post. The post diameter in almost the same as a soup can diameter. I cut five pieces, drilled two holes in the top edge across from each other. I've painted some orange and some yellow. I also cut some 4" pieces off of a smaller diameter cyclone fence line post. I'm curious how they're going to sound. I'll be hanging them 6' off the ground at 45, 50, 55, & 60 yards. Using tie wire and paracord to hang them.
I began composing a For Sale ad for my Diana 34. It's time to start thinning the herd.

One thing I plan to add to my AEA .30 Challenger, is a sling, last fall I carried the gun for a couple miles, end of the hunt, I was a bit shaky when it came to aim and discharge the round I had chambered, from the fatigue.
