Supply Tank certification

The main reason they only have a 15 year life cycle in the US is because of hydro testing CF tanks taking them to 7500 psi with water cracks some of the fibres and after three test's they start to fail. CF tanks should only be tested with Acoustic Wave machines.
Here in California it's whatever the Fire Marshal of a given jurisdiction deems acceptable for certification. Sometimes even they & the State Fire Marshal seem to differ but I agree that acoustic method is least stressful to tank itself.

Mass Rifle Association Field Target Match. Saturday July 26 CANCELED!!!!!!

Hi Humbled-- can you put me on a mailing list for your FT matches I live on the south coast but would like to come back and shoot some FT.
I was very active in the late 90's and took two National championships in 2006 & 2008. Haven't shot FT in a long time though.

Tuning  Do springs age out?

I think they lose a little bit of power over time. I had a Daisy 111 I sent to Dennis Baker to reseal and put in a new spring. He just did the reseal, and he got about 210 fps. I asked him to put in a new spring, and he got 249 fps. Granted, the Daisy 111 was about 60 years old, so I'm not sure if this is applicable to newer, more powerful springers. I don't think my 40-year-old FWB 124 had any significant velocity decline before I did some maintenance on it.

So Damn Hot!!

Southwest Virginia here. Been in the upper 80's with 70+ humidity for most of the past 2 weeks. At work it's a PITA basically a warehouse with only a few fans that don't do much. Sweat all day and it just clings to you. I carry a 1gal jug of flavored ice water and it's empty by end of my shift.
I spent a summer in Florida once, that was real humidity. Clothes on the clothes line could hang all day and still be damp in the afternoon.
That's one thing about dry heat, it's hot but you're not just dripping wet. When it's hot and humid just everything sticks to you. Stay hydrated lol

I was today years old, when I realized... (scope zeroing).

I saw this on the rimfirecentral links. Right hand rule. Point your right thumb in the direction you want the POI to go. Your fingers will curl in the direction you need to turn the turrets to make it happen. This comes in handy if you've got an old, or cheap, scope.

Pictures and Stories of our hunts with Springers/Gas-Ram Rifles.

Well, around the Gila river you're not gonna die of thirst but it's pretty dry elsewhere around here. I was actually surprised when I moved out here that there are some large lakes less than 2 hours away but if you were on foot trying to reach that lake, yeah you'd probably not make it lol. Here's my little town of Kearny with the Gila River just south of it.

NOE Bullet Molds, Al's Retiring

There were 3 of the .25-27gn Hunters (4 cavity) available this morning before went to work. Just went to sight and only 2 were available, so someone bought one today.
Well there's only 1 available now because I just ordered 1 also.
Couldn't really afford it, some bills will be a few days late next week, but had to get one while I could. Unfortunately no idea how they'll shoot, but my Bullshark is intended as a woods walker, not a bench shooter. As I read someone else's post say, " a minute of squirrel" will be good enough for that.
I have that mold. My Avenger shoots the really good.

Are glass optics becoming obsolete?

My take on glass vs digital scopes is weight, weight, weight. When the digital with batteries is the same or less weight than glass........ Why wouldn't I switch to digital if resolution is same?

Reminds of late 1990s when people wondered future of film vs. digital cameras......
But the digital is doing a lot more:
Most of what ZULUS does would normally require separate gear:

  • Glass scope
  • Night vision device
  • Laser rangefinder * ballistics calculator
  • Field recorder
  • Remote viewing system
Carrying all that? You’d blow past ZULUS’s 47 oz total in no time. The real win here is consolidation: less gear, fewer wires, smoother setups.

Yes, it’s heavier than glass—but every ounce is doing work. As far as distance, if you're using a pcp and from what i have seen here most Arnt pushing past 300-400 yards which the Zulus can handle easily

HW/Weihrauch  HW97K Trigger Issues - When Safety is turned off gun fires

The sear screw doesn't usually adjust itself. If you didn't change it I would look closely at something else. The Rekord trigger normally has plenty of engagement to prevent a bump fire before the first stage is taken up. And you can see the engagement through the little window in the box. Is your first stage operating correctly? Some people adjust that (the screw in the trigger guard) too light and the trigger doesn't reset properly. I saw one where the spring under that particular screw was crushed and not working right.
BE CAREFUL

Taipan  Taipan Slash - Accuracy tip.

may i ask, what specific technique are you advocating? are you describing off hand positional shooting?
I ask this because many year ago for some shooting faculties such as benchrest there was a preference for minimizing excessive contact with the recoiling platform. we worked hard to minimize lateral force input and tried to establish unimpeded reproducible for and aft motion. in prone events when utilizing bipods we would advocate a bit of forward preload and accommodating a reproducible and consistent linear chest localization

nice shooting by the way
This airgun jumps with a bipod and a rear bag pretty substantially for me anyway.
A friend shot it yesterday as well and commented on the jump.
I just use my weak hand (left in my case) to press downward on the top of the bipod where it attaches to the handguard and firmly press the butt stock into my shoulder like I may an HK 91 to defeat the delayed roller bolt jump common with many HK DRB rifles. Seems to work and I have ZERO desire to weight the rifle down with weights.

Tank failure, anyone? How many?

I have had a large carbon fiber I think 6 liter tank fail,,, Has anyone else? Not valve, Not hose but a TANK,,
The tank was given to me by my brother in law , It would leak down to 3000 psi , Back then I had my Sheldon compressor , It took about 10 minutes to fill back up to 4500 psi, It would leak out over night or a day or so very slow leak, I had to put it in a full bath tube to see all the little bubbles coming from under the carbon fiber,,,
ONLY POST IF YOU HAVE HAD A TANK FAIL... Lets see how many?
