Boxing Day Plinking

[Drew Jaeger]

I went up to the NSW North Coast to visit the family over Christmas. On Boxing Day my Uncle and I had a little bit of a back yard Air Rifle practice. Spent 12G shells and clays were the targets at ranges varying from 15m to 60m. Rifles used; Weihrauch HW97K in .177 and a circa 1960, Webley Mark 3 in .22 (my late Grandfather's). The Webley has all it's orginial seals and spring - requires an overhaul to trick up the performance.

Currently, I'm home for 48hrs preparing for my next jaunt westward. Thought you guys might like to see some photos.
