HAM Sniper
Last Saturday I rearranged my range, no pun intended. It was nothing drastic but had to be confined to appox 50yds long x 40yds wide. Longways my backyard is like an inverted bow with the low point about 40yds downrange and continues that uphill contour well beyond the fence.Laterally it has a greater upward angle to the side fence and beyond. So the pellet is always impacting the ground before reaching the fence, it is completely safe. Now, for the new wrinkle, I have moved my shooting station inside to the second story window from the laundry room. Being build on the top of a hill the the window is 55 brick risers above the ground. I think that works out to be a little over 12 feet vertically. It will probably create a need to re-sight the rifles. That will work itself out in the future. the targets range from 30 to 50yds with one exception. I have 2 targets set out at about 10 yds, a F&T type Squirrel and a commerically bought spinning target. These are set up specifically for my little HW30 .177. I can't shoot those targets from a rest because from 12 feet up I can't see them. So, I shoot them off handed, which I like, but they are still a challenge. Anyway, I thought I would bring you up to speed on my latest endeavor. You know backyard shooters have to find ways to keep themselves engaged and enthusiastic about airgunning especially after years of shooting the Skeet and Trap circuit. So far I am having a ball. I tried to arrange the photos before and after but sometimes this thing has a mind of its own. I still don't understand all I know about this computer.
