My eyes aren't too good either lol... but, as I said, its just plinking at those distances. We use empty 1/2litre "lucozade" bottles, upturned on top of garden canes. The bottles are of slightly thicker plastic which is quite durable. As they are long and slender, windage has to be taken into consideration as well, but.... you'd be surprised how big they seem through open sights. Being bright orange, they are very visable too.Arv:1460 wrote:Just realised I can't multi quote.
Thanks again for the good advice, I had an idea the grips wouldn't fit, thanks for proving that Ian.
I have 5000+ exacts from 2008, as my 97 refused anything else, glad really as they've doubled in price almost.
Agreed Mitchell, open sites is good, not sure if I could shoot or see a target at 30 yards mind, that said my eyes ain't the best anyhow.
Will look on the bay for some different grips, cheers Phil .

Even better you could just search for Colt 1911 grips!JonW:1467 wrote:Absolutely, the American after market is much bigger than here. You may find a huge selection of grips for the HW45 searching under the beeman name. 8)
The lower frame of a standard HW45 is virtually identical to a cartridge firing 1911 - thus there is a lot of choice on the net including ebay

>This< chap has been used many times, by UBC members, and does some very nice grips.
Even though he is in Thailand, people don't seem to have had any trouble.
Kind regards,
Phil

What recoil?
Wow, what a pistol I got home late tonight, had a play, I shot 50 pellets, 20-30 getting it zeroed and then just trying to get tight groups as possible.
For a first nights play with a spring pistol I was getting 20mm groups at 9 yards rested
I must say I got this second hand and its like brand new, 3 weeks old when the guy sold it for £200, happy bunny me is.
a bit twangy and dieseling for the first 10 -20 shots , but I would say things will settle after the first 500.
I really look forward to trying a comp with it, I don't think I will get massive scores but never the less I love to have a go.
Roughly three sets of groups, started too high and slightly left, then over done it with adjustment and then too far right, then bang on, the bottom group is what I finished with.

Re: What recoil?
Nice choice and well done for not going for something that is easier to shoot. I really struggled with the standard grips on mine after a while my hands became really sore.
I stuck these on mine great grips.
I remember a comp Ian once ran for the HW45 gotta say it was inspired and brilliant. :D

Glad to hear you you like your choice of pistol, and are settling in well.
You'll probably obtain dieseling for a tin of pellets at least.
The secret, for me, is to get used to the gun, let it settle in, then try a few different types of pellet through it, to see which group best.
My recommended pellets, from budget, through mid range, to high end are:-
Geco
RWS Hobby
RWS R10
Kind regards,
Phil
