I renewed my membership this year get ready for lots of "groups" po rn
 
So, I didn't really need another "fluffy" kitten.......

But, this cute black one showed up at the pound in November 2025.
Saw it had the cleft toes at the front, and a real
“Straight from the kitten mill” look to it.

Felt sorry for it and knew I just had to adopt it......

So:
Brought it home and coddled it gently over the cold winter.
Bought it some jewellery and lil bits, here & there,
to make it feel loved.

Well, it's last bit of jewellery came a few days ago,
and I knew it was time to let it outside for some fun.

Got 8C & sun here today, so figured; “Why not?”

Took the wee thing to the range.
Had to keep it leashed @ 1st.
Hissed and kicked a bit, like the weekitten
I expected, on it's 1st timeoutside.

Spit 3 times @ 10 yrds, right in the center!

Moved her to 20 yrds and adjusted her eyes, a bit.

She quickly grew a voracious appetite, all of the sudden, with the fresh air
I guess?
She sucked down 50 Challenger Tactical slugs in an hour!
Was still Meeee-eewing for more!

Gave her 5 Federal Flight Control 9pellet, for desert, as a treat
for being good.
Had to cut her off there.

Then, a mess of scat to clean up!
She scat all over the place.
Now I feel like one of those petowners,
carrying the lil bag around with them all the time.......

Any way anyone knows of to “litter-train”
these things? ;)

Now she knows her purpose in life.

Spitting @ paper.........

&, she likes it.

Well, what do ya know, JoePet's got a sense of humour! I dig it!!

Hey, with the folding aluminum stock on it, how do you find the point of balance has changed if at all?
Is there any movement in the stock?
What are your thoughts about the pistol grip and slug/ shot accuracy?
What choke tube are you running?
Do you still find a "flyer" with the 9 pellet flitecontrol?

Think I see 9, but.... probably some stacked. Longest try that day was 20 yrds.
Point of balance not changed; didn't try factory stock. Put this one on kitten right away, over the winter, before I let it outside to range.
Left factory plastic spacer in, as it wouldn't tighten up without it, & had a jiggly/wiggly going on.
Now, otherwise tight.

Challenger light recoil tactical slugs at 20 yrds, good enough, so far with stock, for me. See splatter 5 shot group above....

Will move it out further on the next trip out, to see what it can do, but with just a red dot, limiting/hoping for it to group @ 50 yrds for now.

Factory choke tube, assuming it is cylinder, that came with it, but didn't count the notches......
New one to try next time.
See if it is any better.
Think I'm good, for extra bits now.
Just need to source & afford ammo!

Thanks.
 
Will take the large Kraft paper for next Flight control tests. See then, if I can catch a flyer. Mayb move out to 25 or 30 yrds.

I run the same bolt release (came from Tac Ord too) and I really like it. They have a ton of nice parts for these guns.

I have been shooting all winter, no waiting for Spring for this guy....... :D
