Thanks, guys. This virus thing has us a bit squeamish about driving to our club range to shoot the powder burners, since we never know who will show up or or crowded it will be, plus the number of cases in our area is spiking strongly, since this is our tourist season and there's more people in the area. We're both in that risky old folks age group, so we're being cautious and mostly staying home to shoot the air guns.
By the way, if you're not following the air gun scene, air guns are having a huge run on availability of both guns and ammo, every bit as bad as regular guns, since a lot of folks have been staying home to shoot during the pandemic, just like us, and, of course, the pandemic has disrupted production and supply, same as with regular guns. On the other hand, the pandemic has pushed a lot of shooters into discovering or re-discovering the tremendous advantage of being able to shoot air guns at home, even if it's just with that old BB gun.
Al, we got that resettable animal trap from pyramidair, several years back. It'd the Air Venturi Stampede
https://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Vent ... _Trap/5778 . It's a tricky one to shoot, since those buffalo are built to swivel a bit, meaning you have to have direct hit in the kill zone to put one down. A hit anywhere else just causes the buf to wobble.
All our reactive metal targets are shoot to reset, so we can just shoot from the bench all afternoon long. At 30 yards, shooting offhand, getting a straight run on any of these reactive targets is quite a challenge. Even shooting from a rest at 30 yards, putting all those buffalo targets down 4 in a row is not easy. I'd say 90%of our shooting outdoors with our airguns is shooting steel, these days. Much more fun than shooting paper.
