In 84 I was just starting out in the shooting world with a Diana 25, it would be many years before I read gun magazines in English but I found that article when I was doing my conscripted military service. We tried it out with my Diana and some El Gamos and it didn't work of course. My lieutenant was kind enough to take out a couple of old FWB300 from the gym and let us shoot behind the motor pool.
We scoped them with some old hunting scopes and got into the frustrating world of mini sniping for a while before soldiering took up far more time than we liked and shooting even more on our spare time seemed idiotic.
After my discharge I took up paper punching while studying for my degree and competed for a while, still with old FWB300's.
The club had some 600 and 602 but you had to earn them and I didn't really commit enough to compete outside the regional circuit.
At my last job we had an air rifle range in the basement and I took it up again and bought my own 300 but since one of my colleagues shot for the national team I skipped competitions and shot shot for the enjoyment.
Today's session didn't happen, as I was putting on my shoes it started to rain, and then it started to pour, and then it started to hail, and then there was more pouring and then I fell asleep on the couch.
It'd still raining and even the dog won't go for a walk and I sure as heck won't get down to prone in this
