Mawders 595 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Wednesday 5th September 2012 So my plinking partner Milegajo and I hit the outdoor range today to fine tune our HW95's and Panorama scopes. I think collectively we put about 500 rounds through the rifles and finally decided the rifles were about as good as they could be without human error. We moved from 30 yards to 35 yards to 40 yards making sure the figures and stats chairgun pro on my iPhone was spitting out married up to our real life blunderbuses! It was at the 35 yard range I was enjoying a well deserved smoke whilst watching Miles continue to off load his .177 pellets into the target when just as I finished he shouted "FLY". I quickly picked up my loaded rifle and whilst prone watched the little beggar sitting dead still on the top right of the bisley target paper. Following the marksman principles with unweighed and unwashed/lubed pellets I took careful aim and giving half a mildot holdover I let off the trigger on my stage 1 tuned SFS HW95 .22 ATB Mawders 3 Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Brilliant Mauders buddy. Me and Davy were up at Sandwell Field Sports yesterday too ourselves. It will take something special to beat a SFS tuned springer. Quote Link to post
Phantom 631 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Tut tut tut! Wrong backstop, the idea with shooting flies is to put a nice clean hole in the paper so it looks like a six legged hole :laugh: :laugh: Lovely splatting em at range aint it :victory: Well done Tony Quote Link to post
Mawders 595 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Yo zinny what were you doing up there???? Quote Link to post
Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 good effect on target. kill confirmed. tccccchhhhh Quote Link to post
milegajo 595 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 It was epic. I was still calibrating whilst Mawders was just shredding bullseyes, so i called it knowing he'd do me proud. Trying to map trajectory and calibrate mildots on two alternate rifles firing different pellets at different velocities proved too much for my little brain... Had a wicked time though. Well done chum and welcome to the elite club of airgun flyswatters. Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Sorry pal I'm not allowed to say at the minute. Davy will kill me. Stay tunned and watch VHTV within the next 3 to 5 weeks. Quote Link to post

Mawders 595 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Another ultimate shot was when Milegajo hit a roll up fag butt at 35 yards and I'm talking the width of a .177 pellet! Good shooting, bet I still miss the bunnies though! Quote Link to post

Mawders 595 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Would love to be at the standard to one day feel confident enough to do that sort of shooting mate but it isn't now that's for sure! Think of Milegajo and I as young versions of you and Si! Maybe in 30 years when we get to your ages we will be as good, ;-) Quote Link to post
zini 1,939 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 LOL Mauders, Davy is a young 49 and doesn't look a day over 60.

secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 Used to play darts with a lad who did not have a dartboard, he was excellent though, when I asked him how he scored a game using no board he said that he and his dad played hitting flies. I sad what first one to stick one through the body of a fly wins? Nah he replied... We play by the leg... Quote Link to post
