That is some awesome shooting with your GK1, the results show your high confidence in that setup.

Why do I want to close the bleed valve after filling?

The desiccant in the filter will pull moisture out of the air through the valve. Best to leave closed so it lasts longer.

Ground Squirrel /Chipmonk, that's going to be a tough shot at those distances. Agree with get them in closer!
Edit, a .177 is what I would use.

Yeah, everyone claims that THEIR competition group is nice and welcoming. Based on my admittedly limited experience... I remain skeptical. My experience left a very sour taste when it comes to shooting competitions. Too much time, work, and "politics" to be worthwhile to me.

Maybe I'll change my mind some day and give it another try. But I've got a "day job" and family. I just enjoy my range time. It's therapeutic and relaxing. I'm not interested in a shooting activity with very limited time actually shooting (but a long time standing around) and lots of rules with the male version of "Karens" watching your every move. Nope... gonna pass for now and maybe forever.

I understand a lot of people like that.

I’ve learned after 68 years that the world is what you think it is. That which we project we attract more of…. An odd truth that proves itself again and again

They are nice built pellet guns, same quality and function as they were 15 years ago...they are the opposite of FX in terms of changing and creating new models. The S510 is same power plant and tech as the s510's were 15 years ago just in a chassis and ar furniture. Nothing wrong with that as they are dependable quality pellet shooter. It definitely doesn't have power to spare for slugs nor is the heavily choke lw pellet barrel suitable for slugs...I modified the valve ports, add huma regulator, increased spring tension, machined parts to fit a 700mm fx liner. It ended up shooting nsa 17.5 grn slugs at 1000fps and was at that point a sweet shooter.

Come
on guys, 175 yds on a ground sqirrel with 100 fpe will do it humanity. Add a little 5/7 wind to the mix, squirrel not practically instered in photo-op. Your s#^@ better be right . A hpbt at that distance works for me. We,all want that head shot.

I hated the heck out of them until the latest update.

Beeman R7 today. It also took two squirrels this morning.

Definitely add a moisture filter and make sure you close your bleed valves after you are done filling your tank

Why do I want to close the bleed valve after filling?

A couple of old timers

I wanted one of their gauges for my AEA,,,,,not any more.
I'll get a cheapo that reads psi/bar only. A pressure gauge should not be that complicated.

People be making assumptions here. Lol. FT people are ok, and I don't care for most people. They even tolerate me.

Hello everyone,

I have a brand new Umarex Zelos and want to fill it via my CS4-I compressor? After I function check it an fill it with coolant? Also, it better to fill the compressor with water or coolant? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Lots of threads here about the GX compressors to research and get information. Mine's the CS4 and just hit 100hrs, am going to do a tear down inspection and possibly preventative maintenance. Still dead head test within a few seconds of new. Per others here, I added tad of Purple Ice, some use Water Wetter. Making sure you really purge any trapped air out the radiator is important water flow. If just direct filling a gun shouldn't have much worries about high running temperatures. Large tanks, long runs, better to do in intervals with cool down periods despite 5hr rated run time. Heat is what kills compressors over time. Over greasing will also cause higher operating temps, it's a case where a little is better than alot.
Hope yours gives you as much use and satisfaction as mine has. Any issues and GX is pretty good with their customer service and warranty.

Having a margarita and shooting my standing range with the HW30. Im really liking the 2.5”s at 25 yards, it’s like shooting soda cans and not having to pick them back up. It is very hot here in NC.

Definitely. I do alot of whitetail and predator hunting in fields. The tripods have become a new set of hands for me. I start with a basic set and moved up. FATBOYS are where it's at! I find that my tripod is more stable to me than sitting on a shooting bench with bags. My main focus with PCP was to be able to teach my son to look through a scope and see picture in picture at a young age without hearing protect. This way I could talk him through what he was seeing. He is very excited to whitetail hunt but no way am I going to allow him to shoot at game until I feel confident it will be ethical. My powder burners have thermal that I can watch from my phone but that does me no good if he is wearing hearing protection.

And that's why I had my kid do them for me. It also required a different program to unzip the files. So, did you get it updated.

Sounds like it could be the board. Hope whatever you pick works out.
