Daily plinking this week with a couple of favorites

[BrokenolMarine]

I'm chomping at the bit here, hoping for things to hurry and clear enough so I can get on the range and shoot. Miss T is adamant that I not risk a fall in the Oklahoma Puddin (thick mud) on the range, but it will soon dry and I can get out and shoot a bit. Had three warm(ing) days in a row, so hope is high.

Thanks for posting the plinking NCG, always fun.

I’m getting an itchy trigger finger seeing all these fine rifles posted. Might have to make a trip up to my range next week and see if the snow has melted. Our place faces east and gets full morning sun on the field but the range is up in the trees and doesn’t get nearly as much sun. Plus the area the range is located gets a lot more snow than I do here at home.

Today would be a perfect day to head up to the range but our washer and dryer are being delivered today. Next week isn’t looking too great for me to take my wife up north so I’ll wait another week.

NCG, please keep plinking and posting and I’ll enjoy some trigger time vicariously thru you.

Me, plinking? It's like breathing. I'll be glad to keep plinking, guys. Hope everyone can get out and soon.

The last two days up here have been very windy and a bit stormy. Not so windy, today, but very cold, only in the teens. I did get out, though, to check the scope on one of my airguns I haven't shot in a while. In this kind of cold, my hands are good for only ten minutes or so before they get numb from the cold and I start fumbling and dropping pellets. Only took three shots to get the scope back in adjustment, though, so very worthwhile.

It's the top gun, here, the HW50 springer in 177 cal. The bottom gun is also an HW50 springer, but in 20 cal. Both air rifles are more accurate at 25 yards than any of my 22 rifles shooting CB Shorts or CCI Quiets. These are my most used airguns for outdoor work. The HW50 is a break open springer with the perfect balance of size/weight with power. The 50 has the feel of a nice 22 rimfire rifle, but it also has enough power for 50 yard shooting and small game or pest control. To get any more power than this in a spring piston airgun, size and weight goes up, quick.

Good for you Joanie. I got out this morning and shot and then again a few minutes ago. I must have been tired because I didn’t do near as good this afternoon.
