What'cha doing air gun related today?

[Florida_Man]

Cleaned barrels in my Revere, S200, and R7. Then I seasoned the barrels with JSB lead so they are ready to go if I have a chance to shoot this weekend. At 10m the Revere and R7 didn't show any need for seasoning. The S200 took one shot then it was hole in hole.

Well, yesterday, I ordered a new 18 inch .25 barrel for my EscapeSS. Today I am pawing through my pellet/slug box, hunting .25's. Looking at a few I think i gonna let go as well.

Got a bit too clever last night. We hoped the fire on the backside of that mountain would push the critters and coyotes down toward us and maybe hide our smell a little. Then the wind shifted and I came home smelling like I had been standing next to a campfire for like a week.

All in all it was an interesting night but all we got was a few pictures and emphysema . I feel kinda robbed though. Where’s the gift shop when I wanna buy a souvenir t-shirt?

PCP benchrest day. Revere 177 and S200 177. Not the best conditions, but it was nice to have the time.

Well, at least you got a cool picture out of it. There are not many airguns that could make a Barra 250z look short, but that Gauntlet does a good job of it!

Got out my much neglected .25 Avenger and did some target practice. 4 black birds, 1 starling on 6 shots. It has the pro tune on it, and it really makes a loud "thwak" on impact. Our resident yard cat was very happy.

What did I do air gun related today….hmmmm technically I drove around and scouted new places to call coyotes/jackrabbits and/or squirrels.

What I got instead was a flat tire in 95° deep in a canyon with no signal. Then it turns out my spare is also flat. Out of nowhere a BLM cop showed up so I hit him up for a compressor which he had. So I patched my tire and put it back on with the sun bearing down. Then I got to sit in the sun as the officer and his partner asked if they could search my car… luckily the only thing dirty about me are my hands and my mind … so no issues there but ooooh weeeee I’ve had enough of the backroads for one weekend. The desert will get another reprieve tonight…. Cuz this dumb dog is tired and ready to get fussed over by my little blonde girl .

Man, I would have been sitting in the sun a lot longer probably, because I would have said no. Four of my brothers and my father were policeman at one time and I would not play those games. You have rights, use them or lose them. Never volunteer to waive your rights. It's a good general rule if you have the time for the fallout, but in a small town you will likely not be bothered again either. And if you know any cops, ask them about it, and see what they say.

I completely agree with you. I probably should have said no but I was not in the to mood to go round and round with him…. In the end I’m taking it as a win… I got free roadside assistance and when it was all said and done he gave me his card to and told me call him if I ever have any problems again

Pays to be nice to the police every now and then. Especially if the police are being professional, and polite. I know, being one for so long. You always remember the ones that were not.

Search or not he saved me a long hot hike to get back into phone single. I definitely wasn’t mad at him haha.

I’m having lots of fun, pass the bore bright .

I sure don't blame you. Sounded like you were really in a crappy spot

I absolutely agree that you should always be respectful, of the police, and your rights. The good ones know this and the bad ones don't care either way. But you do have to play every situation by your gut too, good ending this time.

I shot my P35 25 cal at 30 yards and my Revere. I was doing well on a 30y challenge target, then I went off regulator
Better luck next time. Before starting the card I tried two different pellets. I also tried two different moderators and without. So I did guess my shot count well.

Ordered the Tactical Elite Bore sight and have thought about how to approach my call with JTS tomorrow morning about the Stonewolf that doesn't work. I really don't even want it period now.

Checked all the airgun boxes today, minus some plinking! Loaded up the gear and went to my parents' place to stretch out my Ghost to 75Y. Shot the TX200 and S510 too, along with my brother we bagged 20+ birds in under 2 hours. Mostly starlings/cow birds. Gave my brother the S510 and he took 9 shots and dropped 8 birds....said it was too easy (he shoots a big heavy Diana 350 and his rimfires) We had the table set 40Y from the mulberry tree and the normally cautious Starlings dive bomb in, stuff themselves and then take off again. Then home, supper, and clean/fill everything. Beautiful day.
