Great day for shooting

[Crosshairs]

Yesterday was a crappy day as most know so i did shoot almost all day. Shooting this gun sighing in that gun checking fps on another gun. Then i noticed how steady my hands were so i started looking for a real good shooter for the one hand only match. Well as most of us here we get better with age i was shooting my Crosman 150 that looks like crap all worn and hardly any bluing left on it but don't let looks fool you. From 16'4" i was hitting the center of the bulls eye at least 3 out of 5 shots i went through one cart doing this and shocked myself to how good i was shooting. My 150 was made in 1954 the same year i was born i'm starting to thing there is some king of connection here between gun and man. I must give the 150 most of the credit on this one now why can't i shoot like this all the time. I almost felt like a young shooter with my steady hands, oh well just wanted to share I'm sure you all have had days like this. Needless to say i think i found the gun i was looking for.

Thanks Big E !!  I did rebuild it about two years ago and was thinking of a paint job but didn't as you can see but now it's starting to show some lite rust so i think i should give her a new life. Some DuraCoat would do the job nicely.

With the right pellets my 150 shoots straight,not sure on its age,me,I am a 56 model.
Near binned this 150,for when I brought it it was mint,then the rust bug hit big time,left it in case with moisture absorber wife brought home,it sucked up loads of H2o & then dumped it all over pistol,it looked a mess,after got over shock,stripped down pistol & re blued with cold blue,dont look to bad now.
