Went shooting yesterday

Congrats on a most successful shoot last Sunday. That target is one to be very proud of.....it sure would be if it were mine.

Sunday seems to have been a shooting day for folks. I didn't go to the range, but it was a beautiful day, so I took my Umarex P-08 CO2 BB gun and my bullet/BB trap into the back yard and just had a ball. My target didn't look as good as yours, but for a smooth bore gun shooting round balls, it did pretty go......most of all, it was FUN, and very inexpensive.

RHUFF, what number of shots are you getting from your co2 units?

rhuff · 04-19-2016, 03:11 PM

I am getting about 40-45shots/cylinder I think. The last 4-5 shots are a bit on the weak side. I usually fire 5 shots, then go and check the target, and let the CO2 cylinder warm back up. That method seems to keep the shots pretty consistent until the end of the cylinder.
