A sneak peak

[bigmac 97kt 13,842]

Well got the grandson a new rifle 

For Xmas 

So me and his dad took him to the range 

Where i gave him the rifle to use while i set up the NV on the impact 

Now the 97 is fitted with a left handed stock a cs700 stock so its his fitst lefty rifle he loved it now iv told him its mine as iv got a ambi stock that I was going to put on it so he totally fell for it not knowing it was his rifle 

I bought it off a very good freind 

A target shooter not a hunter like most of us on here 

Its been TBT tuned has a short stroke fitted to it as well its class 

Now my grandson is just learning and has a Wembley mastiff in 177 so i thought its about time he learned to shoot springers

So i bought him one now he is a lefty 

Where all of us (family) are right handed shooters 

Now he can and has shot All of my rifles 

But some are not suited to him 

So thought its about time i got him a left handed rifle 

Cant wait to see his face on xmas 

When he realises it is his rifle 

Mind he got his hands onto the DRS SABRE TACTICAL and was pulling trick shots with it and once i sorted the NV out on the impact,,,,,,,,yip i lost it he took it off me 

And shot that as well more than once 

Lol  

His dad did good to shooting the DRS 

As well 

A good day for all 

Here are some of the pics from the day 

And when I first got the rifle

My 97 with the lefty 

[philpot 5,143]

He is a lucky lad to have you Jimmy and yes I tend to agree his face at Christmas will be a picture.

[bigmac 97kt 13,842]

He is Phil yes I'm a hunter but he is a target shooter he has no interest in hunting what so ever for the moment 

If I can get my own way but if he wants to shoot targets so be it 

I'm not going to push him if he don't want to do it 

U never no he could be hft champion 

In a few years

very nice jimmy

A lefty hander spring rifle shooter? He's going to be just fine Jimmy. And great respect to him for wishing to become focused solely on target shooting.  And the HW95 is perfect for getting to grips with controlling recoil from a hefty spring rifle.

He's young and if he keeps himself focused on his discipline to practice, practice and practice he will become formidable in his accuracy downrange. 

Keep posting his progress mate.

Hi Philip.

We had a marvellous time with my brother and family thanks mate. Hope yoh had a lovely Christmas too. 

Just thinking about shooting new year 2026 and thinking of finding a mint  .177 Prosport to fit the stock Jimmy adapted for my left hand and shoulder. It's an absolutely beautiful stock  to shoot with and deserves a dedicated Pro Sport action fitted to it. 

That would make a blistering target and hunting rifle. I love Air Arms .177 spring rifles anyway.... as you well know with shooting your TX200HC! 

Have a wonderful new year my friend.

Simon.
