Introductions Hello from North Carolina

[Peyton]

I'm a springer guy at heart, but I have several nice PCP's too. All of my springers are HW's except for one Diana, all tuned by me. I mostly plink steel spinner targets in my backyard now, but do get out to the farm occasionally to do some hunting.

I am out here in W NC and I seem to favor springers and pistols. I never shot pistol powder-burners growin up, so I guess that's why they seem to be so much fun.

I seem to enjoy my air pistols more than my powder burners. I'm not adding up how much it's costing me after each shot like when I'm shooting my 40's and 9's. I have a HW45 .22 and a HW40 .177.

Of the two (HW45 and HW40) which do you like better?

They are so completely different. I shoot the HW40 a lot more because I can shoot my 18 yard targets with it from the patio. The 45 is my 8 yard can plinker.

I know the 45 is way more powerful. So you only shoot it at 8 yrds due to accuracy? I would have expected the opposite on the yards.

Greetings from Ohio fellow HAMster! Love my spinners and also a dueling tree.

Yes, I can't hit anything past 10 yards with it. Some guys shoot them a lot and can get good with them but it takes a lot of practice and a very consistent hold. It does hit very hard, I let guests shoot it, they love the noise and recoil it makes.

Nothing like shooting steel, I have a range set up in the backyard at 10, 18, 32, and 50 yards.

I am impressed you are getting 18 yards out of the HW40. What do you think max range is for say wild coke cans?

It’s a 2.5” spinner, so not that impressive. 20 yards max.

My favorite pistol shooter at longer ranges is my HW75 with 20mm Hawke red dot, but I like my CO2 pistols for 10m can plinking. I do enjoy the PRod, but it is not in pistol form anymore. I am really liking my BSA Meteor I got cheap from A of A. My range is 25 yds limited by my property logistics.

Impressive that you are getting out to 20 yards with your HW75. Nice
