Satisfying feel

Post by blackisler » Sun May 10, 2009 1:56 pm

Just had the Hawkin out for tyhe first time in yonks , I had the only one in the club for years but now there is another couple so we decided to have a wee shoot . It was rather satisfying to feel the gentle push on the shoulder when firing 80grns of finest black and 375 grn lead , it must be more than a year or two since I last shot it but still managed a 2inch group at 25 mtrs.
Hope to shoot them again next week so will try to take some pics . :SCO:
