Just for fun today, I picked this German-made HW45 Weihrauch 22 caliber spring air pistol from a member.
Bought 750 pellets for $15 from seller & only shot 50 today.
Yes, I did the math: 2 cents each round, haha!
It will be accurate enough to keep me interested.
There is a learning curve to shooting air guns.
I only used half-power (some say 70-80%) for targets today.
Next time I'll try full power.
Online, I read where a half-power cocking of the spring is more accurate but the older gentleman who sold me this said that had not been his experience.
The HW45 was shooting high for me & had to do more than an entire turn
of the elevation screw on practice targets to get POI showing here.
I kept fine-tuning it while shooting these two rows.
21' on top row & 30' on 2nd row.
I would need to use an optic for further distance with my eyes.
I don't intend to do that since the fiber optics are great.
I'll not buy the expensive ammo for tighter groups anyway,
until I learn to shoot it.
I used decent pellets but not the good stuff.
