bud 5 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Hi all, i needed to go and do a bit of zeroing on Saturday and my girlfriend wanted to come with me so i took a gun for her to use while i zeroed my Stealth. We were shooting in my mums menage which is a bit more than 30 yards long and has a nice comfy wood-chip base to lay on so is perfect for zeroing and plinking. I set my girlfriend up with my .177 S410K with a tyre for her to rest the gun on and went about zeroing the Stealth. After a few shots i took a look through the scope at her target and couldn't believe what i saw Well, here is a pic with a 5p to give it some scale, it's a 6 shot group i believe! This is with no help from me, I think you'll agree it's some pretty impressive shooting, especially from someone who has only taken the odd shot now and then, oh, and she's left handed using a right handed stock I think i might have to leave her at home next time Thanks for reading, Paul Quote Link to post
silentshot1 206 Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Nice!! My wife is the reason I got back in to Air Rifles after years playing with shotguns. She shot a pigeon stone dead from a phone wire at circa 38 paced yards in her parents farmyard from a standing shot, about 14 years ago with her HW35. I've spent this long trying to out shoot her, but she was simply brilliant with an Air gun. She came target plinking last year with me, took eight shots, five shots grouped in a 10p sized group with an erratic lightening XL, got bored and went to fly model planes with her Dad. I'd love to be so good at something that it basically bored me! I'll keep trying! Quote Link to post
bud 5 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Thanks for the reply, I'll take her again soon just to make sure it wasn't a fluke I'm pleased as she enjoyed herself and as she shot well she's interested enough to go again which is good. She was asking when she could go hunting with me I told her after a few more sessions shooting paper targets. Quote Link to post
