    Air Chrony MK3 - Battery Usage

    I just bought an Air Chrony MK3 and I am (sadly) surprised with battery usage. After an average of 25 shots the thing asks to change batteries. I used as requested 3 X alkaline batteries AAA all new. I sent an email to them but no answer at all. Does anyone have any battery issues like this?

    Air-Chrony Mk3 Self Contained Chronograph

    Recently I bought an Air Chrony MK3 to use with my airguns. This weekend I tested with my FX Impact .25. I installed a set of three brand new Duracell alkaline battery AAA as recommended. Batteries lasted +- 20 shots and came with the message "battery change". So I replaced it with another set...

    Tuning Impact M3 Adjustment

    When we perform a speed adjustment for a certain projectile we always strive to be on the top of the bell curve maximizing the hammer spring for an established regulator pressure. And then, reduce it by 3%-5% using the front valve adjuster knob. In doing so we have the optimal speed, less...

    FX Impact M3 and accessories - Help needed

    Guys: I am going to order a FX Impact M3, .25. I am moving into slugs. Yes, after sometime denying I see no other way other than shooting slugs. BC is better and current airguns are much more well suited for that. 90% of the time I will shoot in a shooting range. Distance up to 150 yards. 10%...

    Homemade target for pellets (and ocasionally slugs on paper)

    That's why the backstop is articulated with hinges. I hope to have that angle when I hit it. The plate is almost 4mm and somewhat heavy for shooting pellets 50m and beyond. The backstop will be need when using against something I don't want to hit when practicing like a wall for instance.

    Homemade target for pellets (and ocasionally slugs on paper)

    Thanks. Well, this is gonna be used at the shooting range. Hopefully, when the articulated backstop is hitted it should absorb the majority of the pellet energy. No intention to use it closer, like 25m or less. Not worthwile to run the risk of ricochets.

    Homemade adjustable (height and rotation), demountable and portable shooting target for easy transportation. Made of scrap metals. Paper 17cm X 17cm to be used with or without articulated steel plate for a sort of backstop. I guess it will endure a 60ft-lb power. Interchangeable rotating metal...

    FX Impact STX .25 upgrades

    FX USA just emailed me: The MKII cocking block is not very different from the original cocking block. Its primary difference is the size of the pin that connects the cocking lever linkage to the rest of the block. In the original block, the pin was 1.5 mm in diameter and the new MKII is 2.5 mm...
