SECOND POST...GAMO WHISPER SHOTS FIRED!!!
« on: May 20, 2009, 01:42:19 PM »
I have been shooting for a couple days with the Whisper and I am really enjoying myself.  The first day I only shot it 3 times because it was 10pm and I shoot from the mudroom into the garage.   I live in a town home and I didn't want to risk upsetting the neighbors on day one.  I shot about 30 shots to get the scope sited and things went pretty well considering it was my first time siting a scope.  My wife was in the room and couldn't hear me shooting until I asked for her to listen.  She also said she could hardly hear much of anything when she stood outside the garage.  I did stuff the butt of the gun and that seems to help.  After siting the gun and putting a lot of holes in my first two targets I decided to see what I could do with a five shot group on a fresh target.  I was pretty satisfied with the group.  The first four shots made a 1/4 of an inch hole and the last one was a bit off and stretched the group to a 1/2 inch.  I had my bullet box on a bar stool and I had a towel draped over a dining room chair to shoot from.  I just took a knee, shouldered the gun, and rested it on the towel.  It worked pretty well.  I will probably shoot at home a few more times and then go to the basspro rifle tube to site the gun at around 25-30 yards.  I still don't have my GRT III trigger or new scope so I am hoping the two mods will help my shooting.  Overall I am happy with how things are going so far.

That first shot with the GRT-iii WILL catch you off guard!  You'll like it a lot!

Just got the GRT III trigger in the mail today along with a new mount and scope (Center Point - 4-16X40mm)  Wish me luck with the trigger.... :-)

only issue is that for the way is set the scope the plastic caps interfere with the back open sight when opening and closing. but no problem at all just adjust the open sight to the minimun and press it down a little and you will be able to close the front cap.
another thing! download the free chairgun software! its awesome to calculate balistics trajectories and hold over or under to shoot at different distances! if you are at your backyard plinking with the laptop by your side make some tests at different distances you will see how accurate it caan be with the right information.

Thanks for the info!  Gonna shoot a little more today.   Had some scope mount issues which I think I fixed but didn't have time to shoot much after I got it fixed.

Clean with alcohol and blue loctite everything that has to do with the scope, let sit 24 hours, should be good. The GRT 3 trigger is the bomb. Gamo should just buy the rights and put one on every rifle. John
