    FX Fx royal information

    My first of many pcps was a regulated .25 Royale from AOA . It is to date the most consistent and accurate pcp I've owned and the only one I regret selling. I wish it had been my 5th, 6th, 7th, etc., pcp because I would have known what a gem I had and likely would not have parted with it. I have...

    High End PcP .22 vs .25

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but if I recall correctly,.22 shooting flatter only matters on one side of the pond. In England, their air guns are only allowed to go to 12 foot pounds of energy. A .25 will have to be shot at a lower velocity to get to 12 fp so because of the lower speed the...

    Regulated or unregulated?

    Welcome to the sport! I've owned.......geez I forget lol. A lot of guns from a lot of different brands. I remember being new to the sport and feeling overwhelmed with all the info out there, a lot of it conflicting. I'm grateful for the experience I've been able to aquire having been able to own...

    Worth dipping your toe or save up for a high end?

    I dunno, I started high end and it ruined me on the entry level guns. After starting out with an FX Royale, I never kept any entry level guns more than a couple of weeks before selling them because of becoming disinterested in them. Lack luster triggers, accuracy wasn't as good, lower shot...

    Groups, some good, some bad, why? Also, first shots with JSB Hades!

    You're right. I hung a ribbon out, it was only about 15 feet away from me and it was being pushed slightly sideways even when I could feel no wind at all.

    Groups, some good, some bad, why? Also, first shots with JSB Hades!

    Finally the wind stopped. For like a red hot minute. I ran outside to try some 75 yard groups. The following pics are the first 10 shot group. I went to go look at the target and on my way back the dang breeze picked up again out of nowhere and I could not replicate the results which frustrates...

    My first loves just returned to me,they have been sitting around

    Nothing like a great walk down memory lane. I'm here on the forum today and am an airgunner because my older brothers gave me my first bb gun for Christmas when I was 6. 10 pump crosman. I feel like it was a lot more accurate then for some reason. I used to shoot icicles off the eaves in winter...

    What are your favorite airgun "features"?

    Externally adjustable regulator Hammer spring Weight Trigger Side lever Of course accuracy / consistency but I think that is easier achieved on any gun with externally adjustable reg and hammer spring. I get everything I want on my list from FX but I do wish they had a better trigger...

    First PCP, how important is regulated, Marauder vs? Something less expensive?

    I'm shocked no one has mentioned the Avenger yet. Not only is it regulated but it is externally adjustable as well as an externally adjustable hammer spring. You can have them in .177, .22, or .25 and they can be bought anywhere for $299. The technology is far ahead of the Marauder which looks...

    New England residents of ME, NH & VT...How do you like it there?

    You are smart to look at the overall tax rate. People will say there is no sales tax in NH, etc. etc. but they have huge property taxes. Municipalities need to pay for things somehow and it is going to come from somewhere. My wife is from NH, we now live in southern Maine and love it. I've lived...
