Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Garmin first time out

Feinwerkbau 300S .177 pellet rifle.
I've had this thing for a very long time forgot how much fun it is.
Figured it would be a good place to start.
If it can handle .177 pellets it should be good to go.
It was.

Shot one group just messing around.
Then turned on the Garmin and set it on the bench.
It missed the first shot....
Oh boy.
Set the thing up on the box so it was more even with the bore.
It never missed a shot after that.


This thing is supposed to have a velocity of 630 fps.
But that was 30 years ago.
And I just grabbed some pellets .
Some kind of hunting pellets not sure.
Was more interested in getting it working.
And seeing how it worked.
Pretty simple.
Had the app on my phone and got it sinked up with my phone.
If I can do it .
Anyone can.

Seems pretty straight forward.

10 shot group at 30 yards.
I haven't shot this thing in years.
Its fun.
General impressions.
Danged handy.
Straight up easy to use.
I kinda don't like touching it.
Wish you could control it from the phone.
When it gets warmed up and I start testing my bench guns again I'll run a direct comparison against the tried and true Ohler model 33.
Which I consider the gold standard in accuracy in bullet speed measurement.
