Re: This is fun Too

[daytime dave]

After Mark the enabler stated that he found the resetting squirrel on Amazon, I went there to compare pricing. Not enough to quibble over. While I was there, I noticed that my search also showed a Crosman dueling tree for air guns. Well..............




What was inside the box.







I was impressed. It has the same quality feel that the squirrel has. I noticed that the back of the plates are attached to springs. I assumed it helped flip the steel when hit by a small pellet. I think I was right. As I shot at it with my 1377 pistol, I hit the smallest at the top and flipped it right around. All subsequent hits on the medium and large targets failed to flip the steel. Bummer, but I'm not going to send it back. I'll try the 1322 and if that doesn't do it, I'll try some rifles. I want to say it's a winner, but I'll need more range time. It is fun though.

Thank you Mark the enabler!

Get the Weihrauch 22 cal after it I bet they will flip

I was wondering about the price difference. Amazon is great for ordering and have it at your door a few days later but you often pay a premium.

Yeah, I recently ordered a cheek riser for my M1A that looked to be the correct size and was advertised as made for that rifle. When it arrived it as way too small so I looked at returning it. Found the company that makes and shipped it and they had it listed for $12 less than Amazon. But shipping was included in the Amazon price and probably not from the shipping company.

No tension adjustment? We bought the one Al recommended last year and it does have tension adjustment. Allows me to use it with our air pistols.

Quite welcome Dave! Amazon is your friend...I think.

I ordered mine early one afternoon and had it by 3:30 the very next day. I guess it helps to have a distribution center within 10 miles.

In Washington I could order by 10 am and have it delivered the same day. Mail here often takes three days the last 50 miles after going 1,000 miles in two days.

The squirrel was the same price on both Amazon and Walmart. The dueling tree was 12 dollars more at Walmart than on Amazon. I paid 32 something and got it the next day with Prime.

NCG, I didn't see a tensioner. I'll look again when it stops raining. I put it in my new deck storage box and it's pouring here.

[Sir Henry]

I ordered three of the squirrels. I might add the dueling tree. I’m getting a good section of metal to make up a nice plinking course.

Good for you, Gene. Even though I enjoy the challenge of bullseye shooting, most of our airgun shooting is steel. The good news is that there are lots of steel targets made just for airguns.

The spinners and traps are also inexpensive just like the airguns and ammo.

I have a lot of birds in the area and don’t want to scare them away. I like the fact I can shoot and not make a lot of noise.

[North Country Gal]

Same for us. We've had deer wander into the yard while we were shooting airguns.

[markiver54]

Funny how certain creatures seem to know sometimes that you're not shooting at them. ☺

My shipment came today. The groundhogs are home decorations.

I know I have an odd sense of decor.

Seems like that you will have fun!

One plus for snow when shooting: it sure makes a nice background for dark targets.

[daytime dave]

Nice assortment Gene.
