Sunday Afternoon
We have been having some unusually warm weather here in northern Alabama. Over the weekend it got up into the low 60s and I was working around the house most of the day Saturday in a T-shirt. Since I got my work done on Saturday it left Sunday afternoon open for recreaction. I have been testing another variation of a field target design so I took the opportunity of the warm weather to pull out all nearly all of my airguns and have a shoot of it.
I started with my .177 ProSport. I have a Hawke 4-12x scope on it and boy is it consistant. It shoots around 950 fps and it is spot on even after sitting dormant for several months. I have a ProSport in .22 as well and both are very very stable. I don't think I have ever seen either of them shift zero. I think the ProSport is the Cadilac of spring guns, they are really well balanced for heavy gun. If I had to own only one airgun, it would be the ProSport.
After taht I got out my R7, FWB124, my HW97s and several others and just spent some time with some old friends putting pellets down range. It was just what I needed on a warm Sunday afternoon after a hard work week.
