What'cha doing air gun related today?

[FL22]

It's funny I now get the spin the wheel of savings on occasion even at there blog .. lol.

I don’t get those anymore. I guess it’s because I’m able to block pop-ups. If you can’t do that, you might want to consider upgrading that Commodore 64 of yours lol.

Putting the new atomic to work.

First squirrel with the Atomic! I have my Talos on, so no scope footage. Perfect shot to the dome FX 15.9gr Athlon Talos 10x Huma Mod 30 Avalanche

Had an evening of outdoor chores planned but I came home from work early with a sore back, wife n kids gone for the evening. There I sat outside.... ZERO wind. I grabbed the Ghost and sat on the ground with it, scouring for a pest. Took a squirrel off the top of a pine tree on the property line off my knee, probably 40Y. He was snipping the green cones quite methodically off the tree and had a pile on the ground already. He dropped instantly but no body did I recover.....then I filled up a pop can and set it out to the edge of the property in front of a tree @80ish yards. Got it 3rd shot (going off my last 80Y group for the holdover) also off the knee.

I got all my 22 cal pellets together to eventually test in the Atomic

 

[Hateful McNasty]

Been so breezy here for shooting but nice when it's 98° .. so I grabbed cheap black spray paint and refreshed a few things.

These were getting ratty so layered in some cardboard and rehung fresh




Painted the steel stuff and clean aim points




G0d bless the free state of Florida where I can do these things without persecution

Finished the first 500 pellets with my Atomic, starting on the next 500.

Left is the last of the FX 15.9gr, right is after a barrel cleaning with CP 14.3 domes. This rifle is a cheap date! I’m shooting these break in tins straight from the tin. I’m washing the next 500 crosman and will be applying lube the @Hateful McNasty way.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

I wish I could better explain how I do it in the rag . Heck I looked for a video for anything close and found nothing ..lol. just tumble start to end wash rince dry and lube .. tumble , tumble , tumble ..

Now I think I'll go clean a tin ..lol

I just listed my deer/hog rifle for sale, I wasn't getting to shoot it because it is not at all back yard friendly and the range is about one hour from me so I decided to let it go. Too bad it is a great gun only 5.2 pounds stripped, 37 inches long and can make up to 400FPE as well as being very accurate with Griffen 220 gr slugs. I have struggled with the idea of selling it for a long time and I haven't shot it in a year so I think I just want stuff I can use every day in my backyard.

Holy moly, 400FPE, I think the Ukrainian's might make you an offer to pick off some Russian tanks.

That’s how I feel about my AG’s. If i can’t shoot them at any point of the week I have time to get into my yard, I’ll let someone else enjoy it. My Cricket Tac 2 60 25 cal just ended up sitting. Great rifle, but it’s a 50-100 yard AG. I want something I can shoot out to 35 yards and still challenge me. Enter 177 haha. 30 yards and windy, those 34gr doing 60fpe just would hit the same hole. 10.3 gr at 18 fpe, I have to watch the wind on small targets.
Have something you can shoot frequently, and enjoy the shooting. That’s my motto now.

I had a potgong up ( not to be confused with a potbong) and a limb fell on it's rack , so I made up new trap racks but some reason never hung the potgong till today ..

So it on the 75y trap rack

 

[Florida_Man]

Tried out a Tatsu on my Atomic combined with crosman pellets

I did high and low TP settings. I want to find a pellet that performs well at each. I have an invasive lizard issue and the low power is important to me. My first recorded distances is 10m since its easy for me to fit into a day. I plan on doing 25y testing on the weekends when time allows. I just hope the 10m helps me narrow it down.

The top left bull is the only one I shot a different amount at, all the rest are 5 high TP and 6 low TP.

First up is Crosman Domes straight from the tin.

 

[Hateful McNasty]

So fricken windy again .. I'm reduced to 10m or hold off 12" ..lol

Easier to hold on 10m(irons)

A bit low but so is my shooting spirit thanks to another blustery day ..

3 squirrels so far today. The last one was from a different position, i rested the rifle on my smoker. My new position in my office to my feeder is 15.5y, the position at my smoker was about 23y. I sent a couple at the fresh target under my feeder to get my hold. Squirrels here aren’t scared by the impacts into my steel trap, that’s how bold they are. They will just jump on top of the fence and look.
It came back down about 20 seconds after my last shot into the target. I waited for it to eat a peanut and drilled it right in the money zone of the head. 7 squirrels with the Atomic since i received it Tuesday.
This was moments before death. Unfortunately it stopped recording.

Crosman Premier Domes

I also shot about a hundred pellets from the bench before #7. I shot 25y and 15.5y

I reposted it, 123kb now.
That was a hanging platform I had under my old Florida clam shutter on my house. It started falling apart so I repurposed it back there on my fence with screws. I put the turf up to try and help the woodpeckers hold on the vertical fence. And it is a good indicator for me, the oak tree is behind it.

I busted out the S510 and made Tinnnny groups with the 18.13 vs the ahem....new 20gr lights again. Dragged out my target box, verified zero @40Y, than shot 50,60,70, and then back down to 30Y. As I ran outta air I spied the 25.39gr on the Tin....oops The whole time I figured I was shooting the Lights! Back to the ol drawing board....tmr hopefully I save face and run it out with the Lights. Wondered why they dropped so hard at 40 At the very least it's now a 3 way challenge. Minus the hefty drop the Mrds did real well!
