Nope, this summer has been mostly air guns and though I always mix it up, shooting all types of air guns, most of the shooting, as always, has been with my springers (spring piston air rifles). Springers to me are the air gun equivalent of shooting single action revolvers in the powder shooting world.
Been shooting springers for decades, now, so although PCPs are the ultimate in air gun accuracy, I can get the same ball park accuracy with my springers. Here's some pics of what I've been doing this summer with the springers.
HW30N
Bought this one right after we sold off our TC Contender collection. The HW30N is a special, limited edition of the HW30 with a walnut stock.
HW35E
I've always shot this fine, medium power walnut stocked springer with a peep sight, but this summer I decided to scope it and see what it could do.
FWB Sport
This has always been my go to break barrel springer for accuracy, even though the recoil is sharp and stout. Loud and powerful, not a springer for beginners, but oh so accurate.
RWS/Diana 45
Fine vintage springer, made in 1983, but still in great shape.
Slavia 631
This is a CZ (yes, that CZ, made in the Czech Republic) springer in 177. These were imported to the US back in the 90s. Nice little low powered springer. Bill found it at an auction for me. Paid 60 bucks for it.
HW50S
Medium powered springer, one of my favorites
Shot this group from up on my deck.
Just to let everyone know, my husband is getting better, so we are still hoping to make a trip to the range before winter. In the meantime, I'll just keep shooting in the backyard.
