Any target shooters here. Rifle?

[enipla]

I started target shooting when I got my first .22 when I was 9 years old.

I haven’t shot for about 5 years. We do live remote, but not that remote. Don’t want to bug people (though every year I hear people sighting in their hunting rifles). I have a number of .22’s and a cannon or two. But it’s just not a good place to shoot them.

Anywho, I bought an PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic [you pump it up manually with a bicycle type pump that takes it up to 3000psi, it’s work]). Air rifle for target shooting. The Benjamin marauder in .22 It’s really fun. I’ve only put about 80 pellets through it, but am hitting dime size groups at 120 feet. Stunning, at least to me, for an air rifle.

It’s pretty much silent. About 3/4 the power of a .22, but not nearly the range.

Any other target shooters here?

It’s about the physics, and mechanics to me. Very cool stuff.

I’m a target shooter. I shoot .22 LR, and tried out for the Canadian Olympic team, way back when. I could put five shots through a dime at 50 meters, and not touch the edge. I had an Anschutz 1813, which was wonderfully accurate. And sadly, which I had to sell when times got tight.

That was then. Today, I use a Cooey, model 60 or 600 (not sure which, and I’m not going into my gun safe to find out) handed down to me from my Dad, and it’s just a pleasant hobby. My Cooey is the rifle I learned to shoot on, and still reasonably accurate, and it’s fun.

Wish I could get my Anschutz 1813 back, though.
