Does Tuxing own ToAuto compressor company?

Well right now I can not afford a Tuxing twin, I wish I could. Maybe down the line. I think the main problem
we that have these smaller cheaper versions of pcp compressors is this. These small compressors are doing
all they can do Work wise. The larger ones can handle this a lot better. The Twin Tuxing maybe is the lower class
big boy pcp, compressor but it should be more reliable with not having to work as hard. That seems to me as
just good logic. When you can buy a Tuxing twin under $400 I,m thinking of some day going that rout. If any here
do not agree with my thinking, please feel free to post your thoughts. I,m a guy that does not beleave in agreement,
for it serves no purpose. But I welcome discussion, because we all benefit from from different opinion.

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

FWIW, many (most) of my posts and responses are purposely designed to stimulate thought, B; hence why many include
. That confessed, few readers nowadays 'read between the lines'.Please don't consider it criticism that I use your quote in this response as an example that folks 'want their cake, and eat it too', and/or 'eat, and run!'
Motorhead's post above is a good example how some shooting clubs can have $$$ and volunteers enough to distribute the work load enough to offer after-match lunch and/or other niceties without heaping more work on the MD. As to be expected, such niceties are often reflected in match entry fees, even "if or not you choose to eat any of it". Translation- every shooter pays for lunch, including those too under the gun to get back on the road back home to eat what they paid for.
Not having to answer to family myself, I assume those choosing to extend their 'kitchen pass' pay for doing so on arrival home (and sometimes for "some time" later).
None of this is criticism, only observations. And an opportunity to confess additional responsibilities can be detrimental to (my) MD performance.
Think of a tossing a live cat into a juggler's routine
... or TWO. 
I'll stop whining now.
Happy Shooting,
R

Coma wheel direction

Thanks I think I have a nice scope and wheel combination for my TX. It is 16x but shorter than my others. So I can see the whole loading port.
The wheel is a Scope-werks wheel for an Aztec scope. But I made an adapter.

Thomas Air Damaged skirts, does it really matter?

Voy a cumplir 60 años, y si algo he aprendido en esta vida es que el control absoluto no existe fuera de un laboratorio, e incluso así, siempre hay algo que se escapa. Un tirador, en cualquier disciplina, puede intentar controlar muchos factores. Puede controlar algunos a la perfección, otros decentemente, otros que ni siquiera consideraría, y luego están los factores externos.Está claro que para los tiradores de competición cualquier detalle o mejora en el equipo de tiro puede ser muy significativo, solo digo que a veces es mejor ajustar nuestra arma con nuestra munición favorita, coger los balines directamente del bote y dejarnos llevar y disfrutar, mientras otros están tensos, nerviosos, medio paranoicos por no estar seguros de si han hecho bien su trabajo, si el viento es del norte, si recogieron a los niños del colegio o sacaron a pasear al perro.Nuestra actitud también ayuda a que nuestros oponentes pierdan el foco y llenen sus cabezas de errores.
Esta es una tarjeta sensata, solo bolitas directamente de la lata.
Balines JSB Exact Heavy de 10,34 gr.
Distancia: 25 metros, 27 yardas.
Campo de tiro abierto, a 200 metros, a 218 yardas del mar.
Viento moderado con rachas impredecibles.
Potencia: 14 Fpe, 780 Fps.
Fusil Steyr.
¿Qué se podría mejorar? Bueno, sí, se puede mejorar, pero en mi caso, seleccionar perdigones, lavarlos, pesarlos y clasificarlos me quita tiempo que podría dedicar a otras cosas. Al final, no vale la pena, y disfruto cuando salen cartas como esta sin planificación, y disfruto aún más cuando los tiradores que dedican parte de su tiempo a preparar todo el ritual obtienen puntuaciones más bajas.
PD: Me alegra que la tarjeta haya quedado bien. No estoy contento porque a otros no les haya ido bien.
