The FX Wildcat MKIII BT Compact is new and improved, possessing more power and air capacity to handle slugs and heavier pellets. The build and function of this airgun made it the favorite off-hand hunting PCP for the last seven years. The increased power is thanks to the large 89cc Power Plenum found in the stock. This plenum truly caters towards slugs and heavy pellets, effectively extending the muzzle energy and therefore the range in which you can use it. (Note: if you prefer classic sized pellets, the standard Wildcat MKIII is the airgun for you.)

Dual FX AMP Regulators are what tame the massive power center and refine overall accuracy. The first regulator is found just after the carbon fiber bottle (aluminum bottle on the VP version); its purpose is to reduce the initial pressure in preparation for the second regulator, providing less stress as well as allowing the use of 300 BAR bottles. The second regulator regulates an extremely precise amount of air, which is an important factor in making each shot consistent. Combined with the FX Smooth Twist X Barrel System, shooters can be assured their rifle is at maximum accuracy.

The Wildcat MKIII BT offers extreme adjustability with the externally adjustable regulators and the rear power adjuster. Shooters can shift from higher speeds necessary to a long outdoor shot to lower power for backyard target practice. The rear power adjuster also allows for quick micro and macro adjustments to fine tune the ideal speed for the projectile you’re shooting.

I have been on a on again off again pursuit to call a coyote to an air gun kill.
My first outing went well except I was not prepared and learned some important lessons.
1. Have your gun up and ready.
2. Yes there is such a thing as coyotes fever. Just like buck fever.
3. When you are ready to leave a call set wait for 5-10 minutes after the call sequence is done.

Today was session #2. Had a blast!! Set up in a known hot spot for coyotes on the ranch we manage. Played the wind perfect and started the call sequence. Within 30 seconds I see a mature coyote headed straight for the set up on a run. This time the gun was up and I had pre ranged several notable features so there would be no guessing yardage. I was 37 yards downwind of the call just below a small ridge. The yote never broke stride and made it all the way to the call. Literally right to the call. The minute it got a sniff it shifted gears and was gone. Not two minutes later another came in from upwind. It came over another small finger about 70 yards from me. Once again came in hot. It slowed as it approached the call, circled about 10 feet downwind of the call, caught the scent and hightailed it out of there.
Lessons learned.
1. When they are coming in that fast, pause the call or shut it off before they get too close. They know exactly where that sound was coming from. Make them slow down and look.
2. You don’t need a high magnification scope for this work. Lower power and the widest field of view is better.
3. I was convinced that I needed to be within 35 yards of the call. I think 50 yards is plenty close. I am using an M3 30 cal shooting 45 gr slugs @ 94 fpe. I believe this will kill a coyote at 75 yards and would not hesitate on a standing calm coyote at 100 yards.

This has been the most fun I have had in decades. Thrilling sport and I am learning a lot in the process. There is more to this than buying a call and blaring it over the landscape.
More to follow. I know for some these lessons are basic knowledge, but for those who have never done this, maybe I can save you some trials and tribulation by sharing?

Of recent I’ve been experimenting with how the direction of sunlight affects target faceplate ranging Accuracy. This issue affects the shooter - regardless of how expensive their scope is.
What I’ve learned may seem obvious to old timers, but it’s new to me, so I thought I’d share this information, in case others are struggling with the same thing.
A quick summary is:
when the light is at your back and more directly illuminating a faceplate in front of you, wow, ranging is easy And much more accurate = extreme clarity.
BUT
Put the sunlight at a right angle to the shooter or worse directly behind the object being ranged, and ranging distance accurately can become nearly impossible.

My understanding as to why this happens is because when the sunlight is coming more directly towards your eyes, your pupils are trying to constrict and if you are trying to look through the darkness of a scope, you need or want your pupils dilated to allow maximum light in for good faceplate definition.

Some shooters deal with this via ocular eyecups which don’t work if you wear glasses and some wear huge brimmed hats and I’ve seen some people throw a big towel over their heads and scope.

I certainly can’t affect the path of the sun and its a very real frustration and it causes me a lot of missed shots.

Wondering what and how the best shooters deal with this.

Chances of getting someone to follow me around with a big umbrella is probably against the rules

The weather was beautiful today, warm and breezy. The match started at 65 degrees and only climbed into the mid 70' by lunch time.

Scott was attending a family memorial in Tahoe and was not able to attend. It took a whole bunch of us, but the match went on!! I arrived about 7:30 to find Chris K and Marty already on the field with concrete blocks unloaded and targets being set. Tak and Kevin were extra early helped set the course.
Chris set a moderately tough course up today, but the real challenge was intermittent gusts that reached 15mph for almost a minute at a time towards the end of the course. Using your time to wait for a lull helped. There were a fair amount of targets in the 35 plus range.

We practiced for about 1/2 hour before the match. Breezy but quiet spots during the morning to test accuracy, and dope.

I think we found all the targets with the tiniest kill zones for the close targets. There were at least 3 up close and personal!

Marty ran our pre-match safety meeting and folks got squaded up, we ended up with 18 shooters today

Everyone seemed to have a good time today, we had a visitor interested in seeing what we're up to, come on back next month Glen!

We finished up just after noon, hotdogs were put on the grill and a picnic with potato salad, cookies, chips and dill spears was set up while the rest of the crew broke down the yard quickly.


Thank you for making the June SVFTC match. And a very SPECIAL THANKS to Chris K and Marty G for stepping up and making the match happen smoothly in the absence of our fearless match director!!!
