ever shoot a fx panthera
Click to expand...
No I haven't. This is my first non Asian gun. First dual regulator gun. So I probably didn't word that correctly. It is a very consistent shooting gun, that i know. The consistency is what impresses me. It goes hole in hole one after another, and the fps stays even. My other guns will go hole in hole, but for a few shots then they move. The air hammer, and dual regulators work fantastic together. Ive shot aea 34gr pellets and altoros 60gr slugs both at 920fps, both were very accurate. Now I have it set for zan 45gr slugs ( haven't gone shooting yet with this set up) . Switching between different weight/ ammo is a breeze.

Events  Some thoughts for match directors or clubs trying to Grow Field Target

I got one of those little Webber grills for 20 bucks. The pot luck lunch will also bring out the wife and family and shoot all day after the match.

That would be nice at our club but everyone is always in such a rush, me included sometimes, to get home. Clean up and get out.
Need more willing volunteers to help with grilling and such. I dont really see an opportunity for more shooting after but I suppose it could happen. Be nice to do it but the course has to come down at some point.

Issues with brand new GX CS4 compressor

S
Last week I received a GX CS4 compressor ordered directly from the company. Intended use is to refill the 580cc tank on my FX Crown. My first Dead head test after unboxing took 32 seconds to 300 bar. I topped off my Crown and it took about 5 minutes, very happy. Then the pump started having fills and or dead head tests that were VERY slow. Dead head tests to 300 bar started taking over 2 minutes, It was intermittent though, then would go back to 32/33, then back to over 2 minutes. Here's a video I did for GX support that shows a 2 minute plus dead head test, then letting it sit for 5 minutes to show no leaks. (video is Unlisted on Youtube, but can be accessed with the link)

GX support wanted me to try this:

If that didn't work, this:

I followed the instructions in the first video. After removing the check valve, it was all gunked up, so I cleaned. More gunk came out after running compressor for an hour with check valve removed. I never turned the grease knob previously and once again this is a brand new compressor. Cleaned out, reassembled and ran another test. Dead head test took 32 seconds, I was hoping for a better time, so I then did video number 2, removed the grease pot and flushing with water. Here what the grease pot looked like, this must be the air gap I've heard mentioned lol:


after flushing with water, I did 2 or 3 dead head tests and it's now down to about 30 seconds to 300 bar. Way better than 2 minutes, but most dead head results I've seen posted online are a few seconds better. Now I need to wait and test again as previously it usually seemed to do bad after sitting, then get back to GX with the results. If things seem like they are working good now consistently, then need to figure out how to deal with that grease pot. Anyway just wanted to share my experience so far...

AirMaks Arms  Katran Compact in .22 - oh Yeah!

ChickenDumpling said:
25 yards, CPHP 14.3, wind likely under 10mph but higher when I zeroed for the wife. I don't recall how many shots taken. She learned that a black reticle on a black small target took an adjustment. Out of the family of 4, 3 liked and 1 firmly stated sticking with her Diana 34 (yes, teenage stuff). Can't shoot a pcp with a scope the same as a springer with irons. AN, I'm seriously consider letting go of my L2 to fund a Katran or Krait now. Oh, I'm steeling the wife's thunder in this posting. This is HER target and she wants to hold on to it:

Congrats! I don't know why the Katrans are not more popular, at least on the forum. They're relatively cheap. I think the reg issues from the Kraits was bad PR for Airmaks. I would not hesitate to purchase one again now. They are light, sturdy and accurate. I've got a .25 LB that just drills Heavy Mk II's at 60FPE. I love the smooth solid feeling actions and being able to cycle them easily with a finger.

Oh, yeah ... I have issue(s) with Airmaks and that put me off for the longest time, reg issues, and direct discussion from the top on their distribution treaties on a Krale sale fully available to US customers at the time. I absolutely said H E double toothpicks with Airmaks. I certainly made concessions as the Katran really is a perfect cross-over from the HW30 springer. The Krait was in the running for my next PCP after the Taipan Veteran 1 Compact.

2025 N50 here I come (Raton, NM)

B
JimNM said:
In August I will be heading to Raton, New Mexico for the National N50 benchrest contest. I was able to attend the first two events, then missed the next two due to Life.

I just finished making plans for this year and got some practice in. Light wind was enough for me to re-learn the flags. 3 cards scored with the plug (usually for practice I score myself raw with the pellet hole). Have some room for further improvement. When I can shoot raw and get these scores, I will feel accomplished.



245 13x

249 15x

249 16x



The contest pits the very best pellet guns, slug guns and .22lr rimfire guns against each other in a multiple day, multiple heat match up. This is a Marathon type of event, not a sprint through two cards while the wind is behaving to see who is the luckiest in lane draw and time slots.

Nice shooting Jim, see you at Raton

Thomas Air  Damaged skirts, does it really matter?

Gerry52
Part of the beauty of owning guns with FX Original Smooth Twist barrels is pellets such as the ones pictured don't phase its accuracy at all (as far as hunting with them). Competition might be another matter. "Minute of Squirrel Head" is different from a sixteenth or thirty second of an inch making a difference between winning & losing.

60 yard GK1 headshot

Mr.H said:
There has been an explosion of cottontails in Central Minnesota this year. Are there cycles in cottontail populations? Nice shooting by the way. I've yet to try out the GK1 platform yet. Looks like fun!!
Click to expand...

Since it's common-knowledge "you can believe anything on the internet", I can state unhesitantly 🤥 YES; the cycles are roughly every decade.

And having owned virtually every air pistol worth owning, multiples of those that impressed me, I can also state unhesitantly that the GK1 is the FUNNEST air pistol ever produced. :D

AAP new cover small.jpg


Correction- the mostest AWESOMEST air pistol ever produced! Can I get an amen?

Benjamin  Tank options

JimD said:
If you know you have a convenient and reasonably priced place to get your tank filled then and only then does it make sense, in my opinion, to buy a DOT approved tank. My issue is just that the technical basis for the DOT regulations was never great and has now essentially been disproved. The Navy proved that the regulations are grossly conservative. But they are laws and commercial establishments that fill expired tanks could get in trouble.

If you do not have place to get your tank filled, then I don't see why it makes sense to pay extra to get a DOT approved tank. A Chinese tank approved to European standards or an expired fireman's bottle seems to me to be a better way to spend money. Tests have demonstrated there is a lot of margin in carbon fiber reinforced tanks. The biggest cause of failure in Navy tanks was damage to the threads of the tests caused by hydro testing. No injuries no catastrophic failures. LOTS of experience.

Until somebody forces DOT to pull their head of their behind we are stuck with this silly situation.

Well said. Meanwhile I can still go swap a welding cylinder out at get something that's been in service since the 40s. Thread damage has been the only composite cylinder failure mechanism I've seen, and hydro will do it.
