Well this has been slow getting started between heath, work and family
but we had our 1st. match of the year today. Son in law (Will)stopped by on his way home from work. It was 6pm when we had "shooters to the line"
Will start shooting UAS with my 747/red dot. This Gun like most has a story. I bought it from a guy on a gun forum. He said he bought it thinking his daughter was going to shoot in a air pistol league after about 50 rounds she decided Boys were more fun.
So the gun set in a safe for 10 years. After hearing his story in a open post. I PM ed him and asked if he would sell it. He pm ed me back and said the last time he tried to shoot it he could hear air leaking But If I still was interested He would sell it for $35 TMD!!
I was all over that like a cat covering up crap when I got it I'm not sure if It had ever been shot!! 2 drops of air and it was up and running
added the Red dot and UAS./US
Will UAS Chicks 5, Pigs 7, Turkeys 5, and 10 for 10 on rams for a 27
I started Standing with my 747 William/Marten
Richard Standing chicks 6, pigs 6, turkeys 7, and rams 8 for a 27
Will US chicks 4, pigs 4, turkeys 5, rams for 21
Richard production chicks 9, pigs 7, Turkeys 9 then the Daisy gave it up
This gun has a story too. it was the 1st. 747 I owned . I picked it up at the Reg.II in Jackson a couple years ago $65 I think, you could tell it had been shot and shot and shot, loose as a goose but still a shooter. It was not until I bought the Williams/Marten sight system form a member here that learned just how good these guns are.
they are unreal accurate. Last fall after
I had put a few thousand pellet down the tube I could tell it was losing it steam so I order a couple rebuild kits from Daisy
I finally got around to rebuilding it 1st. of this week. When I tore it down I could tell It needed way more that just O rings and valve. the piston and Tube/cylinder looked like it came out of a engine that made daily trips to the moon and back. We talking WORE OUT complete with grooves!!!. I put the kit in anyway hoping it would make it though the Ga. state next weekend. but after a couple hundred rounds it has no pop in its poop. I think I can do a little magic and still get though the Ga. shoot but then it's major over haul before the INT.
even with that we had fun
and I would like to thank ME for being match director and ME for calling the line and Me and Will for setting those heavy targets
and Now I think I have a title
