What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Florida_Man]

I gotta ask bc it's killing me....what's with slugs @ 10 meters Florida_man!? I take pellets out to 100Y (minimal wind) and do ok! I know u pest short distances so wouldn't pellets be ideal? Genuinely curious!

They work! I had two squirrels show up yesterday that I used the KO’s on at 18 yards. The POP is loud as the energy dumps on impact. I was off a little on one shot bust the slug absolutely devastated it. The impact sound of the 20fpe 177 slug sounded like my 25 cal when I hit a squirrel tip to butt. That was a 60ish fpe rifle.

Ordered a Cometa 100 in .22 with a tune from Keystone Airguns.

Sounds fun .. looks like a decent reasonable priced gun ..

Please let us know how you feel about this new gun. I - at least - do not know much about Cometas...

I hope to shoot a little when my wife gives my sons a bath, but it will only be for learning purposes

I shot a bird with my 30fpe AA at close range (25yards probably) with a 21 or 23gr Patriot Gen2 slug last year (dove I think it was). The pop was INSANE. I was sure the neighbors heard So unnecessary but so humane. But I've also had 18gr jsbs unleash quite a pop too on birds.
Took 2 starlings today, (story in hunting section) wanted to shoot some paper with the TX and chrono it again but alas my shop was packed with work. Blessing/curse.

I had my Norica Omnia ZRS Luxe at the range today!

 

[Florida_Man]

I wanted to put my Sightron 36x back on my Huntsman, but I left my air rifle tool box at work. I did leave it at work because I told myself that if I had time for air rifles this weekend, it would be spent with the S200. So I’m glad I did.

Will do! Pellets and Pistons channel described them as "a poor man's Weirauch", so I thought I'd give one a try. Went ahead and ordered a tune, since the Weirauch fans seem to spend as much time talking about tunes as anything else.

Head-to-head: Cometa 220 v Weihrauch HW99S - Airgun Magazine

Then cometa got nice walnut options and under 400$

 

[Hateful McNasty]

For a under 300$ gun looks pretty darn good ..

Cometa Fenix 400 Compact

The 400 Compact is a fantastic all around springer. At just under 44" and only 7lbs, this gun shoulders exceedingly well. Out of the box these guns put out the perfect amount of spring gun power for use on small game as well as for general plinking. The built in moderator helps to greatly reduce...

Then again my peeve is the walnut one has a different cut stock I don't like as much as the cut above and no sights ..
WHY..?? Lol. The no sights for some silly reason is a deal killer ..

It's like these companies do it on purpose ..lol

But that one above I can't see it being too disappointing . It could I guess but that's with any ..

 

[Florida_Man]

I shot about a dozen pellets with the S200 between paper and a reactive steel target.

I also finally got around to securing my safe to the floor and wall.

Not AG related, I did a lot of baby proofing of the house. My 9mon old boy is EVERYWHERE

Notos all packed up-heading to Mt. to open the cabin for the season....suspect the rats and starlings will be having a celebration in the yard while I'm gone...

 

[Walnut&Steel]

set up another guitar stand, I think I need at least one more!

 

[Florida_Man]

I mounted up my Sightron 36x back on my Revere. I was able to shoot a card this evening and posted it in the “what paper target did you shoot today”

I also working on plans for a stable bench that I desperately need

 

[MileHighAirGunner]

I’ve been super busy to do much shooting these last several weeks. But today I took some time to get the Shwaty B out. I really like this little carbine a lot.
I had a single aluminum can that was just begging to be shot before getting tossed in the recycling bin. So I filled it with water and set it up outside where I could see it from the side door of my garage. We’re not allowed to shoot in the backyard in the city limits and technically if you are shooting indoors a projectile can’t leave the confines of the dwelling. But shooting aluminum cans full of water indoors just isn’t going to work. Anyways I only had the one can and it was only going to be the one shot so with a landscape paver as a backstop I set the can up so I could see it through the open door. For maximum effect I chose a Polymag short to dispatch the rogue can. After a quick double check to make sure no neighbors were out in their backyards I took a single off hand shot from the doorway. It was a perfect center punch shot from just 15 yards. I don’t care how old I get, watching an aluminum can full of water burst open through the scope will never get old.
Some
One of these days I’ll be able to move out away from the city and own a property where I’ll be able to shoot outdoors all I want. One of these days…
