What'cha doing air gun related today?

Well, I was watching a lot of videos on the Zelos, both the .25 and the .22. Mostly about shooting groups and tuning. Then I order the .25. If I really like it a lot, I will get a .22 later on. I am pretty excited about that. But I have been getting very frustrated with myself because I have noticed that my memory is getting worse and that is causing me to make more mistakes and get frustrated. It is like a vicious circle. They just put me on diabetes medicine as well as the bunch of blood pressure meds I have been on for my heart, so I wonder if all that stuff is contributing to my mental decline or if my brain is just turning to mush from getting old. Anyways I am very sorry if I am not always pleasant. I hope everyone is having a good day.
Sad to say it's a Club most of us join sooner or later and to various degrees. Don't sweat it, lots of friends here that understand. 👍🙏😉

I’m glad you got a Zelos ordered, i’m sorry to hear about your medical/medication issues. Hopefully it will get sorted out.
 
Chief55 we all get older and have to go through what that causes, we just keep doing the things that keep our minds active
like I did today, finally got out to 56yards, I sat the target a little further than i thought, but the ground was dry enough to drive on and almost no wind, couldnt ask for a better day to test on - so out came the striker and the rest of the pellets I have been waiting to test
Norma heavy gave me nickle sized group at 56y
H&N 21.14 in 5.52 dime size CtC
H&N 21.14 in 5.51 quarter size at best
Hades 15.89 and JTS 16.08 were both under a dime One ragged hole
other than cleaning barrel it is factory tune, waiting on chrono
and then it started raining again same for tomorrow
just take it one day and one shot at a time,

I am a diabetic couple with some other meds and it caused me some issue for a bit. but I did over time adjust, not what I was when I was twenty but not in a fog either.
 
It was my first day since the Cancer surgery to even go down stairs. Mounted some open sights on the T4E and shot some CO2 out of the Diana Chaser kit(last test before giving to granddaughter) The CVlife 3x9 x32 scope does just fine on that little thing.
Opened a bunch of stuff received over the last 6 months from members or my own therapy shopping.
Picked up a Blue Dot, just because I've never had one. And a 1800 lumens MLoc flashlight. I didn't even take the phone down to take pictures, I was just so excited to leave the Bed or living room.
Oh, and a couple electronic ear muffs came in from Temu, the ones they give me at the range just fall out, those little twisty ones.
Being I will need another surgery the wife is putting my Huben on hold. 😭 We just don't know from test to test what I'm dealing with.
But Urethra Cancer in very painful 😣
 
I'm not liking these flip up sights very much.
Might put that red dot and Magnifier on it and see.
By the way, even if the Wife is awake don't shoot these .68 calibers at 5:45 am in the morning, she is hot 🥵
The Temu Scope leveler looks and feels great.
The scope covers are almost to small.
Also have a years worth of splatter bursts off brands to open. 53 feet back to the table, 63 ft long basement.

My first time powder coating anything. My Airforce .20 groove diameter is .200 and all the slugs are supposed to be .198 and they seemed very small, so I decided to powered coat them with 2 coats and see what happens. I just measured theirs at .199 and mine powder coated with 2 coats at .204. I guess one coat would have been plenty, oh well will see what happens. I did some NSA 14.9 grain and some NSA 18.9 grains. My wife bought the toaster oven for me at a yard sale for like $5.

Never heard of doing that to pellets, have you shot them? Is that wise to do on a barrel?
They look so cool, can you imagine sitting down next to someone at Bench shooting and see there face when you whip out those babies.
I have shot some Exploding pellets from Edgun and was partially impressed 😁 😅
The Blue Matches my Car, I need a set of 1 round nose, 1 wadcutter , hollow point, and a slug. And one of my existing Hot wheels display cases will work.
.177 is great!
Now I want to do it. How much was the paint?
Do they still make the Glow in the Dark powder paint?

About $14 for 8 oz. It doesn't take much and it is really easy to do. Search Amazon for glow in the dark powder coat, they have a bunch of them, all different colors, for making fishing lures. This is what I used. Lots of good how too videos on UTube. Some work better than others, Eastwood is a good one.

I feel your pain......recently had a procedure done to try and correct an urethral stricture caused by radiation treatments for prostate cancer. Got my fingers crossed.....so far I'm doing better than I was before the procedure and the cancer still appears to be in remission.
