FX  M4 Standard .30 Tune for fx hybrid 44.5 grain

You’re going to find that this question can’t be answered for you. Do you know the relationship between your Regulator, Macro, Micro and Valve? If you do you are all set. Each Airgun will have a slightly different tune it will like to be harmonic Depending on where you set it up. Elevation, temperature, humidity, attitude density, projectile speed, barrel twist rate - barrel length, etc. Hybrids can be particular to speed, a few FPS can mean quite the accuracy difference. Play with it for a bit and find your sweet spot. There are a couple videos on YouTube that have three different tuning approaches for FX impacts that you can explore. One by Utah Airguns, one by Airgun Channel and one by Viking Airgunner.

Anyone else guilty of tracking a package you've SENT?

You could probably even track the plane it's on.

I ask why?

I shoot BP. There is one major advantage of air. Fouling. Oh and Shot preparation And noise, and cost per shot. And the giant cloud of sulfury goodness.

Although, maybe I should take the whitworth or martini Henry pesting.

I raise you the .451 whitworth.

Of course this is only on paper, this is all been done a new software,

Bullet Drop at 800 Yards​

RifleProjectileVelocityDrop @ 800 ydsNotes
Texan .308150gr Boat Tail Slug1,042 FPS~550–625 inches (45–52 ft)Flatter trajectory, modern optics
.451 Whitworth530gr Paper-Patch Lead~1,250 FPS~800–900 inches (66–75 ft)Massive arc, ladder sights needed


🧠 What This Tells Us​

  • Your Texan .308 has a flatter trajectory, thanks to its lighter slug and higher BC. That means less holdover, faster time-to-target, and easier wind calls.
  • The Whitworth, while packing more punch, drops like a cannonball. It’s a precision tool—but only in the hands of someone who’s mastered its arc and iron sights.

Yong Heng after piston replacement

I don't think that's a good oil ...
:) I am a large volume shooter and topping up 3 of these 14L bottles at a time of a work party.
The vibration meter battery died at about 68 hrs and occasionally coming up with some numbers ups and down, and can't care replacing it.
What is a total time on the compressor I don't know anymore, it works, and whenever the fill start slowing down I just replace the pistons right away and that is about ones a year at least. But I have four BNIB kits in my drawers for spares.
The last oil change I did last summer.
But I am watching the Temps very closely.
The Temp is a piston rings killer.

What springer did you shoot today?

My special order, AOA, left hand, walnut stocked, .22 cal., HW30 finally arrived and I had an hour or so to get acquainted. Seems a little hold sensitive and there's some buzz that needs to go. Still, the lines of the stock are very appealing to me. Very much an American sporter look. Love it! It is however, a little hold sensitive which is something else that I need to address.

Field Target is an arms race.

Over the years of running a club and GP matches, we have seen a lot of folks that don't come back after they see what it's gonna take to play the game with any chance of even doing OK, let alone getting to the winners circle.

When they understand that it takes at least $1,500 to get set up with all the equipment, and then a whole lot of time finding and learning a steady position, and then a lot of time practicing follow through and wind reading. They just don't come back.

We find it's the retired folks who have that time and dedication... and money to freely spend in their retirement, that stick it out and come back to compete over the long run.

I agree that "stand alone" matches for the low price point equipment would be a great way to get that class going... along with having those classes at the regular matches. I still think there are some folks like Scott Hull who like to whoop the high price rigs with low price point equipment they upgrade. That attitude can be developed in others, I believe.

The Stand Alone, everyone has to shoot equipment in one of the two low price point classes, would encourage purchasing the equipment and trying it out for both newbies and experienced competitors who can afford to, and often just like collecting air guns and making them shoot as good as possible. Especially if the vendors would step up and offer some great prizes for the matches... and I think they would, I know AirGun Oregon would.

What ya say folks, would you try it out if the prizes were there for motivation?
IMHO you were doing good right until the last line. Yeah, we need to encourage ways for new shooters to get into a match and still knock down targets. No, what we dont need is people with 20+ years of FT going out there and absolutely dominating a newbie friendly class so that it's unsurprisingly 'uncompetitive' for the noobs to join. Adding in cash prizes just to give the old guys more incentive to go beat up on new people will SURELY bring more fodder for us to stomp on.

Anyone else guilty of tracking a package you've SENT?

I just bought a rifle from a lady that was one state away. Did it the old fashioned way and sent a money order. I sent it priority and it took a week to get there. Did a lot of tracking. Should have mailed it regular mail 🤨 rifle made it in 2 days via ups

Thumbs down! If you shoot adjacent to other shooters it will not only pick up your gun … BUT … it ALSO picks up the guy next to you. Garmin and FX will only pick up one gun.
Is this personal experience? Others report the opposite... that they've had no issues with it picking up other shooters' shots.

Anyone else guilty of tracking a package you've SENT?

I've been kind of obvious that my 392 is in it's way to Mac1. When I shipped it yesterday, I got the tracking number.

I was able to wait until last night, then I started tracking ... watching it go from Akron to Cleveland, and now somewhere SW of Toledo.

I have a feeling I'm going to be doing this a few times a day, until the "delivered" status shows up early Friday afternoon.

Is it just me being so psyched about finally getting the steroid tune, or has anyone else done this?
