First outing with the HW95

[markiver54]

I started at 10 yards to be safe and make sure I was on paper.

Sorry, don't know why this pic is sideways.

I walked my shots up with the scope, and then moved out to 25 yards. (About all I can eek out here at home)

These are various targets from 25 with slight adjustments along the way. Funny, I didn't have to touch my windage at all until I moved out to 25, and even then, only about 10 clicks. It got pretty breezy before I finished, so I didn't want to make any more adjustments.

I'm starting to love this rifle. It did better than me, first time out. I will continue to try and do IT justice.

Been a while. Forgot to mark my targets or place a coin for reference. Oh well, next time.
The grid lines on the larger round targets are about 1/2" apart.

Mark that's very, very good for a first springer outing, way better than average. In fact, as good as I've seen for a first outing. Congrats. That 95 and you are are a good team.

Nice job Mark. It seems like you are pretty well dialed in. Congratulations.

That means a lot to me Joanie! ( I think I'm blushing). I had fun today and have a dangerous new interest. . I so much appreciate the encouraging words.

Thank you Dave!
As you know, I was pretty apprehensive at first with this springer stuff, but, I think I'm hooked!

Good shooting Mark. I definitely need to get out my Daisy 953 and get zeroed in at minute of squirrel backyard range.

Looks good Mark. Congrats you will learn more as you shoot and buy as many pellets as you can handle. How you hold that gun when shooting will dictate your groups.

Thanks Al. Just ordered another 500 ct. tin of the same H&N FTT a little while ago. Hey...if it ain't broke, don't fix it..right?
You were right. The 95 seems to like them.

Nice shootin Mark, little pesky squirrel wouldn't have made it out alive.
