    Change in POI when zooming

    For a second Focal Plane scope, the point of impact will APPEAR to change when magnification is changed, but the impact will not. Follow this example, for instance. You have a 10-50 power scope. The scope is zeroed at 30 yards (a very typical FT zero distance). You shoot at 30 yards at ANY...

    Sad 717 broke

    A 717 is a single stroke pneumatic made by Daisy, as a budget entry into 10 meter. There was also a 747, which I believe was a slightly finer upgrade from the 717 Tom Holland Field Target Tech Fieldtargettech.com

    Marauder modifications

    Robert, Rich Dudek of Airgun Revisions is THE Crosman/Benjamin guy. If you go with something that he tunes/tests/modifies, you can't go wrong. He also does factory warranty work, and he has his own warranty on guns he has modified. Tom Holland Field Target Tech Fieldtargettech.com

    Marauder modifications

    Robert, There are tons of upgrades and modifications for the Marauder, and many of them are effective and useful, depending upon what you are looking for. It's a very easy platform to modify and work on, without having special tools. As far as the Akela is concerned, it's only been around...

    Super Lube and fill probes?

    DamageINC Super Lube is perfectly fine on any oring in any airgun. It's a silicone grease, and when I bought my Steyr new back in the day, they supplied a tube of Super Lube within the case of the gun. If it's good enough for a Steyr........... Tom Holland Field Target Tech Fieldtargettech.com

    swaging die set. Finally Made! 👍

    I'm VERY interested in the domed dies, if they are .177. I have no interest in any other caliber. If you have, or can steer me in the right direction on creating the diabolo style dies, it would greatly be appreciated. Tom Holland Field Target Tech Fieldtargettech.com

    Airgun Club

    MP, Try DCPA (Dutchess County Pistol Association) They are located in Wappinger Falls NY. You'll want to contact Mr. Paul Cray, former Field Target World Champion. If you look somewhere in this section, I believe that he has a shoot coming up in a couple of weeks. Tom Holland Field Target...

    Huma reg install in benjamin marauder .22 problem filling with air

    Arizona, If I had to guess, the gun does have 3000 psi in it, due to the reading on the bottles gauge. The gun gauge is reading 2000 (or thereabouts, those cheap gauges aren't known for their accuracy), which would be correct, because now that a regulator has been installed, you are now...

    Lost our range!

    Joe, It seems that if an airgun only space does come to fruition, it will be limited to calibers under .25. From what the owners indicated when Tom W spoke to them, anything .25 and over will be relegated to the rifle range. When the time comes, I'll try to lobby for .25's to be included as...

    JTS dead center pellets ?

    I would 100% like to try the .177, as I am a Field Target competitor on the intermediate/experienced level. I would also recommend that you get some of these in Paul Cray's hands as well, a team USA member, and 2 time former World Champion. He's also won the AAFTA Grand Prix titles the last 2...

    Lost our range!

    Guys, I'm going to talk to Tom Wade, and see if both of us can get to the range, and speak with the new owners. Ive been in a little chaos, because I just moved. As I said before, they seemed very receptive to the average plinking airgunners needs. They have tons of acreage that's not being...

    Do shooters need lead wire for their swage kits?

    Nick, It probably won't be a while before I'm needing any wire, as I've just moved, and getting back into the swing of things. I would think that the .166 would work with my .1775 Corbin dies, as I use .170 wire from Corbin as of now. I wouldn't think 4 thousandths of an inch would make a big...

    Please Post YOUR Favorite Youtube Airgun Channels here

    My channel, Field Target Tech could be added to your list. I have a decent amount of videos on my Field Target methods and tuning. The quality of the videos is not great, but good information for the beginning Field Target shooter and competitor. I've just moved, and had some chaos in the...

    Lost our range!

    Rangur1, The owners have pretty much said that for .25cal and up, will have to shoot at the regular rifle range. We've had this range available to us since 2009, and it was meant for casual plinking and target events and practice. Field Target, silhouette, paper punching. Once the large...

    Lost our range!

    Nation , This is my home range also. The above reasons might have been the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak. Tom Wade spoke to the new owners over a month ago, and informed him that the airgun range was going to be closed, and some renovation and construction will go into some...

    Profile names

    I got mine from one of my original shooting disciplines, Field Crossbow competition. Up until a couple of years ago I actively participated in Crossbow competition, until USA Archery eliminated the Crossbow division entirely. Since beginning Crossbow competition in 1990, I've won 21...

    Question about regulator pressures?

    Nation, Just for information purposes, I was always told never to lube Belleville washers within a regulator. All o rings should be lubed, regardless if they are within the regulator itself, or on the outside of the regulator. Tom Holland Field Target Tech Fieldtargettech.com
