Introduction of myself

[Tyger]

Hello to all. I am new to airgunning, and have been reading this forum. I have gleaned much, and sincerely appreciate this resource.

This target was shot with open sights, and things were quite blurry for me, so theclusters probably reflect my shooting skills, not the pellets (CPHP), not the gun. However, grouping has occured on other targets that I have shot with this gun/pellet, and I am thinking that maybe there is pellet variation and that this variation could reveal itself in clusters, but I am new to this and really don't know if that is the case, or if it is just some happenstance.

Welcome Tyger to the family.

On the Back Room forum is a post on how to post pictures. Here's the link.

Thanks Cactusrat.  I have posted from my photo files; however, I have not been able to link through Photobucket.  I will have to try again.

Truman, the pellets that I used were Crosman Premier Hollow Points (CPHP).  I have not seen a difference between the way this gun shoots the CPHP and RWS Superdomes; however, I will re-evaluate pellets once I get the GRT trigger and TurboTune by Gene Curtis.

The squirrels are litterally killing my southern hophornbeam by twigging it for the buds.  I just had to reduce the population, and this gun has allowed me to do just that.  5 of 6 squirrels were dead instantly, one required a second shot.

I am impressed as to the killing power of this .177, and look forward to improving my airgun shooting abilities.

Indeed, Bogey, Georgia is central SSA. We are slipping, but we are still here.

nice looking gumbo post a pic of the gamo next time also a C the tuna trigger works great if you don't already have one made my gamo much smoother but it looks like your doing fine

[Tyger]

OK TheKnot- here is the GAMO. Notice that I have rigged a GPS unit to the gun so that I can send pellets to pre-determined coordinates. Just joking. I am drivingto Gene Curtis' Monday morning to deliver the gun for TurboTuning with GRTIII replacement.

Tyger,     Becareful driving in S.C.     Especially if you have Georgia plates.   I wish I could tell you the number of "speeding" tickets that have been awarded to me in that state.

If you travell the Interstates it is safer.   But watch out anywhere else.    Last April I got a ticket for $239.  Charge was 35 mph in a 10 mph zone.   In the middle of nowhere.   I just sent a money order and never contested the ticket.  I did not trust them with a credit card or even a personal check.   And there was a 10mph sign....in a ditch behind a pile of gravel.

Needless to say....
