Hope to see you there!

Would this work? I have a Hatsan spark compressor and I added a Tuxing large filter to it. The problem is that by the time it fills up the filter to pressure and starts to fill the gun it is close to its max temp so I have to shut it down and wait. I'm thinking to add a shut off valve to both ends of the filter so that I can shut them and keep the filter at pressure while I bleed the line to the gun and compressor so that I can disconnect them. I found a small filter with a built in bleeder that I can put on the line going to the gun to bleed that line and I can bleed the compressor with its built in bleeder but I need two shut off valves, one on each end of the filter. Does anyone know where to find them? I guess it would also be nice to have a gauge that shows the pressure in the filter.

i had a 1377 35 years ago so of course i need to make a real slick 1 now except in 22. seems the steal breach is mandatory and the rear sight that cost more than the 1322. the grip and pump handle is super cool , 3d printed grip/foregrip actually feels really nice. mines lefty but they come in righty for you slow guys. i spoke with the master mac1, seems more power only works with a longer barrel. mine is 490 with 13.43 jsb. if i can get same power with less pumps then i will add flat top stuff

1st 2 shots after sight in @ 12 yards



5 shots

I love a springer with a peep sight. If you have never tried it, you really should. After all, most springers are not target guns. Not like a PCP. The majority of shooting takes place less than 30 yards. The peep keeps the springer balanced, small and light. Don’t get me wrong, I like scopes also. But enjoy shooting springers with peeps even more so.
Show us your “Peepers”!

Fun factor... What's the next gun on the list to buy for the fun factor? (All in .22 or .25)
I'm looking at :
Notos $250
Jts Airacuda max $420
Kral punch breaker silent $350
Beeman 1358 underlever $250
Invest $500 into my 1377 (lol jk)

I was looking for something that I didn't necessarily have to bench all the time like my gauntlet. I think I would like the bullpup style. All the above aside from the Airacuda max fit that. The max is in there just because it seems like a great gun for the money and I'd like to get a .25

Backyard friendly is a plus. I do have a .177/.22 Donny tatsu that can be added.

What would you get and why? Thanks for helping me make another bad decision

National 50 has had their match dates posted for quite some time.

Today Pyramid announced their Pyramid Air Cup is scheduled on the same date as N50 Nationals. It’s unfortunate that Pyramid can’t work with N50 and NOT compete against them.

Does anyone out there in the states make and sell a 1/4-20 plate adapter for the bottom of the FX Chronograph? I can't seem to find any in the states, just the u.k. , please let me know, thanks.

I believe I have identified an issue with my field target shooting. I was at the range today checking my dope since I recently reduced velocity a tiny bit. Nice warm day with no wind.
I was shooting the HW97 at 50 yards, seated and off the knee (WFTF style).

Here are my first 5 shots, checking the clicks and windage. Ignore the high shot, shooter error.

I'll take 4 shots touching at 50 yards from a springer any day.

Then I checked the 10 yard clicks. No issues.

Everything looked good with the dope, so I decided to shoot some more 50 yard shots. The standard targets at the club have a little blank circle in the upper middle part of the target that measures about an inch across. So I decided to see how many times I could hit the circle in a row. One. One is how many times.



Out of 8 shots, I had one clean shot in the circle. Between these two targets, I didn't get up, change pellets, get religion, lose religion, nothing. No changes. Same grip pressure, same level alignment. I didn't even get interrupted in the middle of shooting by a range master wanting to talk about Biden, motorcycles or the Gamo he used to have that would kill deer at 200 yards (happens more often than you would think).

The only logical conclusion I can come up with is that I apparently can't hit a circle. This explains a lot.

When I paint targets for the next match, I'll be drawing a little cross hair on every paddle. I'll report back after I clean the course at the next match.

Jeff, if you are reading this, I'm not really going to Sharpie a cross hair on every paddle.





Is Jeff gone? Because I am totally going to put a crosshair on every paddle in our target inventory. I'll say it's for the kids or the new shooters or something, but it's not for them. It's for me.

In all honesty, I think what happened is my old nemesis: crosshair fixation. I don't know if this is a real thing that other people struggle with, but I have to remind myself to look at the target not the crosshair. It's easy to focus on the target when I am aiming at the intersection of two fine, red lines. But when looking at a blank white circle (or a bright yellow kill zone), I don't have anything to focus on and my eyes get drawn to the crosshairs. I'm going to put a sticker on top of my turret that has a reticle inside a red circle and slash to try to remind myself to not fall into this trap.

This has been this week's episode of "Why does Scott suck". Join us next week, when we will discuss the merits of switching scopes/pellets/guns the night before a match.

About an hour ago FedX delivered the Altraros. Boy was I excited! OOPS... unit problem.... pressure setting gauge broken at it's black housing and the clear plastic top with adj. screw, laying in the booster units bottom with white wire pulled from the crimp connector. I've sent them this info.,too soon to hear back from them but I think they will send a new gauge. The unit is nicely fitted. Delivery was fast even thou FedX had "Operational Delay" of two days. More to come.

I’m looking to get my first pcp rifle. Wanting to do plinking regularly out to 50 yards with occasional 100 yard days. Some squirrel hunting. Would like to get a .25 cal. Regulated, not picky about cocking mechanism. Not to concerned about how noisy it is but obviously don’t want it sounding like an actual.22 or anything. Really trying to decide between a gauntlet 2 or the avenger. I’m ok learning to work on the rifle as long as it’s things I can do myself. I don’t wanna have to send it off to someone to get work done. I had pretty much decided on the g2 because of the power and tbh I love the way it looks and it has the adjustable cheek piece but I saw a YouTube video by 1 guy pretty much trashing it and it made me nervous about some of the issues he brought up. I’m open to other guns maybe up to the 500 dollar mark. I know I’ll get suggested the maurader but tbh that rifle just don’t do it for me and as silly as it may sound I’m someone that even if it’s a great rifle if I don’t like looking at it I probably ain’t gonna wanna mess with it that much. I plan to by my own compresser to fill the gun so I’m not restricted to options using a hand pump or anything like that. Once I select a gun I’ll start looking at scopes and other attachments. Also I’m wanting to buy new not off the classifieds. I’m sure everyone’s honest sellers and everything but I’ve bought used bows in the past and been dissatisfied with equipment that wasn’t as advertised before. I tried giving as much info as I could sorry for the long post. If I missed anything that needs to be known for a good recommendation just ask

Very lightly used kestrel 2500 weather meter. Everything in perfect working order just moved up to a different model and won’t be needing two. $100 shipped OBO

Front picatinny is now removable… Which I thinks is an improvement.

Has another year of life left. Everything functions well and it’s ready to fill. $200 shipped. Shipping in air venturi box. Comes with extra o-rings. Glows in dark.

After a few months of struggling with the P2 with poor velocity spread and leaks I decided to have a go at fitting a standard type valve. The new valve is turned for PEEK with hardened 3mm steel rod. Other changes to make it work - Balance tube part drilled out to 6mm, O ring removed and 1mm hole at the back. New valve is shorter so spacer added behind spring. Hammer requires a lot more force so there is a weight/spacer inside the hammer to shorten spring. I still think the hammer needs more weight so have asked RTI for a P1 hammer. Have had 200 slugs through it so far mostly over the chrony for tuning. Its maxed out at about 56Ftlbs but I think a heavier hammer will sort that. Dosent seem to use more air than before. Cocking much harder of course and it was never like butter anyway. Graph using 27gn H&N slugs.

75y with the R9 on stock irons and cphp .177. Them missed shots cant figure if the wind gust hit em or my hold canted, or random pellet . Just using whatever tin pellets .. oh well i guess it could be worse... Slashed holes are sight in so to say..


Then the steady wind

The 75 rack is back in front of the ceder tree the 50 is the easy to see rack


Oops.. this picture i was going to use

I bought the Atomic RX to be used as a...pistol...if possible. I have plenty of short guns, and a pistol made into a faux carbine isn't really my cup-o-tea.

After months of curiosity about the RX, and its use as a pistol, I finally got going and bought one to try, it arrived the other day.

I find that it's missing one thing though. The safety lever only has the Fire and Safe (implied) positions, it's missing the "Semi" position, should I send it back !!? The receiver is built plenty robust enough to have been made into a semi-auto gun.

No real need to add to any of the previous comments or videos about how though the gun is. I find no argument most of what I've seen.
And while the trigger SEEMS, very nice, smooth, crisp let-off, and all of that, it must have a cars front spring in the mechanism. I don't have a pull gauge, but the trigger pull is similar to my fire arms ! A good 3lbs.+ is my guess. I moved the trigger shoe, down and back a little, for a better angle, didn't help much.
One thing did amaze me, I put the Trijicon, MRO on it, only took two clicks right to get it on center at about 13yrds.
With the front Picatinny rail removed and the MRO sight set back, the balance in one hand isn't bad at all. Right now the, front to back, balance point is about the radius of the trigger guard, so that's a pretty good thing.
Oh yeah, It got a grip swap too.

Also...for anyone else that MAY...actually use this gun as a pistol (right handers), swapping the cocking handle to the "top"...of the cocking arm, actually allows the use of the left hand to cock the gun. May even help for the pistol-shoulder stock folks.

I haven't done any pellet speed checking or adjusting yet. Will look into that today or tomorrow.

I tried a Tatsu and the Huma Mod30 for sound suppression. The three segment Huma make it almost...a whisper, but it's too long. The two segment Huma, is a notable bit quieter than the Tatsu. The Huma is smaller in diameter, and a, little shorter, soo. I do have the short 0db that I can try, but it's kinda long.

Kinda like shooting a .22 out of a .50 cal., Desert Eagle...but that's ok I guess.
More playing, experimenting to come.

The Starlings and Grackles were out in force this morning in my part Oklahoma City. Shooting was quite brisk. I decided to break out the P-Rod (.22) for the larger/tougher birds. That little "carbine" is spot on and deadly. A joy to shoot. The neighborhood Possum came waddling through the yard along the back fence where the expired birds lay. I didn't have my camera with me, but I knew her route (I know it is a female because I saw her leading her young along the same path last year) and went into the house and caught her coming over the fence and ducking into the bushes in front of my neighbor's house.

i have been shooting and tuning my panthera for a couple of months now and am impressed with it each time I shoot. Through my experience I have discovered that the tuning process is entirely different when compared to an impact. The power wheels look the same (macro and micro) but adjustments with I click on micro wheel could mean 20 fps in speed change. Very small reg changes (2 bar increases) seem to also make huge difference . The new valve system is extremely responsive to small changes so take your time when tuning. I am currently shooting 40 gr dish base Avs slugs at 1000 fps with sub moa accuracy at 100 yards. My settings for this tune is reg at 145 bar macro at 19 and micro at 3.75. The shoot count is 16. I hope this might helps a few. Happy shooting

Whats the coolest target you have for back yard plinking.

I was thinking a spinner made with a small brass bell on both ends?

Or a wind chime with a nice thick hitting disk.

The Max .25 is like new and comes with a moderator 370 shipped I can add Jts scope and rings 3-9x42 IR for 420 Reviews are good on this pcp. It is regulated and has a great trigger on it. you can Email me @[email protected] or text Sonny at 928-848-4969 Bought this new about a month ago the weather has turned bad here in Northern Arizona so have not had a chance to get out with it.

I picked up a copy of this magazine in Barnes and Noble in January, I enjoyed reading it so much I took out a subscription the next day. The publication is based in Great Britain. Lots of good articles on hunting, target shooting, field target, product reviews... a really good read. I was just wondering if anyone else has ever seen it.

Just wondering if the FX Craze will ever slow down in the States. I have been into PCPS for 12 years. My first was a AA S510 in .22 cal. Almost perfect in every category. Noticed they recently received a big award in Europe. Shot a Daystate Wolverine 10 years ago and was blown away. It appears that these manufacturers continue solid R and D but it appears that guys love greater opportunities to tweak their guns and accessorize them. Thus the success of FX here at home. Am I missing something?
