HW97K 1st attempt
Well here is a shot of my first target @ 20 meters.
Shows how close Lewis got it and where it is after a few clicks.
I have read so much about artillery holds but this was shot with the rifle resting on a rice bag with me just holding the pistol grip to pull the trigger and butt light on shoulder.
0.16 group top left. Great rifle.
Couldn't be happier.
It's already keeping the critters off the veggie garden and absolutely murdering those cans.

AR's are great Woob.
Just as much fun as a firearm but much cheaper to shoot and quiet if you get a springer.
I've had one most of my life and miss it when I don't.
They can be incredibly accurate as well as you can see from here.
If you can shoot one of these well you can shoot anything, they have quite a complicated (though light) recoil. Unless you get a mega-powered one of course.
So great practice for firearms too.

Many thanks to both Lewis and Makrand. Up here (suburban Townsville) we hav a MAJOR problem with mynah birds and the sparrows are coming in, and it's a really great temptation to get one of those lovely 97s and 'sort them out'. not legal of course, so I won't do that; you've still got my old brain ticking....
