My goal is to keep everything that I need for a camping trip in it. I then realized what a prize it would be to steal, lol. I added a Monimoto GPS tracker in the truck. They charge around $50 a year and it was the least expensive one that I found. My first test was to leave the key fob at home and drive off. I didn't get half a mile away and got a call on my phone that the truck was on the move. The GPS tracker also sent me the location of every place the truck was parked.
Recycling day

That dont look like recycling, metal cans mixed with cardboard and paper.
Do that here in Denmark and you will be flogged in public on the square.

But otherwise no can should be recycled without holes.

We throw it in all one bin here.
Peashooter
Metal and plastics go in the same bin here, but i am fortunate this is just a 4 bin town, other places they have to separate into 8 - 12 different bins.
Needless to say that kind of insanity are mostly found in / around the Danish capitol as far as i know.

My friend have 4 bins but i think only 2 of them are 2 compartment.
More fun with the laser engraver. Got a new 24v 10watt output head for the machine. I can engrave some metals without having to apply a pre treatment. Easier, faster, cleaner and no off gassing. Very happy!!

I have been eyeballing new and " cheap " laser cutter / engravers, very cool kit.

O and THX for reminding me with the pic of a glass / cup, i have said i would toast the Danish 2 X winner of that French pedal pusher fest with a beer, so i got me one of those yesterday.
I think it will be the first time in 25 years i drink beer, CUZ i never really liked the stuff.

But i aint no politicians, so i made a promise and even if it was just to myself, i fully intend to keep it

I think the software package is really more important than the hardware, for laser work. I highly recommend the Lightburn program. It is not expensive and the ease of use and the flexibility is top-notch. Even though it has a yearly subscription, I do happily pay for the privilege. Message me if you want to talk more about lasers.

Salute!
Not pneumatic.
But still for a gun shy nation like Denmark, having a guy that can shoot 125 clay pigeons in a row in competition, thats not half bad CUZ it do not happen often for any shooter as i understand.
Same guy got silver in the last Olympics, and he is shooting for gold the next time.

My niece was back in the states visiting, from her home in the Philippines. She was just enjoying the country side...deer.fawns..rabbits.. Orchard.. Ect..she said she shot archery and enjoyed it. I didn't have a bow but I did have a Umarex Airsaber... She was excited to try a airbow..Her first shot she hit and lost the arrow...2nd and 3rd bent arrow.. After that all bull eye s at 20 yards. With straight arrow anyway.. She can't wait to go back to the Philippines and tell her friends and country airbows.. Just made me happy😀
Exploding OR explosive targets? Fireban is finally in effect, after weeks of nonstop dry hot wind. Good! But I wonder if the ban on exploding targets should instead specify explosive.

Unopened shaken soda cans would explode, despite not being explosives. Fortunately, LE probably would not crack down on shooting those.

Looking for Bull pup, quiet back yard friendly without adding mod to barrel. What do I call back yard friendly? Shooting around 15 to 18fp. My thoughts, why would I want to shoot more then that unless shooting over 60yds or game bigger then a racoon or back yard is no closer then the distance of 2 football fields to next door neighbor. lol I have PCP's that can shoot 60 fp, like using a roofing hammer to nail tack in the wall for hanging a picture. Looking at the new Cricket 2. Sugestions TNX

My .177 Vulcan 3 are pretty quiet with its build in moderator, and thats pushing 13 grain fast
I mostly shoot 75 - 100 M
shooting 50 M at a old fridge, or for that matter a spinner there, and the smack of the slug or pellet landing are higher than the rifle i think, mind you i am right up against the rifle when shooting so the "twang" of the hammer are louder than the pellet leaving the rifle.

At distance when things are in sync and the wind are not too nasty, you stand a great chance of having most of your magazine on a 2" shoot N see target ( 75 M )

Downside, if you want to add more "muffler" the AGT rifles use a 14 mm thread, but while i do have done that myself, then it is mainly just for the looks, if the rifle are more quiet by the added huma moderator it got to be very little.

Thanks for your info. Went with Cricket Smooth very happy with, accuracy and sound. Sorry didn't reply sooner.
Hello all

Still having issues with my Wildcat MK3 shot spread. There are no leaks as far as the manometers are readings are concerned. Being in the UK, we have a painful limit of Sub 12ftlb.
Here are the readings I'm getting. There going from high to low then back round again every 5-8 shots roughly. One minute I'm grouping hole in hole at 25 yards then the pellet goes off course by about 10-15mm using JSB Heavy Diablo 10.34gn.

I've checked the pellet probe depth, seals on reg and transfer port. Very weard.

Really appreciate if anybody could advise.

Please see below

Air is quite smokey here in Michigan from Canadian wildfires. Might need to retire to basement and shoot air pistols!

Got a good respirator and the particulate filters for it?

Might interfere with cheek weld, but an air pistol???

They call them “wild” fires, but many are “fires” set by “people”... Maybe “wild people“?🙀🤓🙈
It was a good week at the Whittington Center, despite the hail, yearly rain total in 4 days and a small tornado.

My two girls participate in YHEC, a shooting and hunting challenge sponsored by the NRA. Little one shot 2 personal records and scored well overall.

The older one finished her YHEC career on the way to college. She went out with a bang. She placed in the top 5 in 3 out of 8 contests, 5th high individual score total and her squad took overall point championship. With that highpoint win, the squad has a paid entry into the National YHEC.

I am very proud of both gurlz.

What a week for you and your daughters, you are a lucky dad…
DRY! We haven't had appreciable rain all May. I spend every other day — all day — watering! Lawn, gardens, planters. We need rain — and not a gully washer! We need slow rain all day.
L.Leon
“Water” too much or too little… may you get the moisture you need.
Okay, got my picks in and have changed a couple of O-ringe on my Maverick, one in the regulator and the bottle one too.
On the face of it that seem to have worked, but i do not throw my arms in the air just yet, maybe tomorrow then the rifle have been overnight and the gauges still say the same pressures.

I will say who ever at FX that install those O-rings in such silly places, well they do not pay the person enough.
I will encourage FX think more about the people that are to maintain their rifles when they design in the future.
The 10X 1,5 mm ring at the base of the regulator hole, that should not be there, it should be on the regulator body itself, and so be 10 X more easy to replace.
Same go for the bottle O-ring, why is it down there in the hole in the bottle fitting, it should be on the male part on the rifle.
Peashooter
Well :mad: Bottle and rifle down to 50 BAR this "morning" nothing else to do but replace every other O-ring on the regulator i have not changed yet.
At least i was not able to feel hear the air leak last night, so i must be on the right path.
Really i should have replaced every O-ring yesterday, but i am a lazy old bastard.

Regulated pressure still fine, so the air are not leaking after the regulator.
OK, so how do birds do this? Shelter over window and through the screen.

You was probably dive bombed.
At my friends place ( little old former farm ), as soon as he open just about anything, swallows sweep in and think they have a place to build a nest, his 2 dogs ( rottweiler and rottweiler MIX ) go ballistic when a birt come into the house.

WIND.

Also, some birds can aim their poop in directions other than straight down. Never get near a higher cormorant even if it is several feet off to the side from you! And...their oily fish poop takes multiple washings to get out. Nasty stuff. Yes, they aim with purpose.
OldSpook
They squirt... you knew that you just forgot. ;)
I finally got one, and with my #2 rifle the AGT Vulcan 3

I was dialing a little back and forth on it, and dident like shooting pellets at 50 M, so even if i have said the V3 will just see pellets from now on, well i think i will just have to admit that i am a slug addict.

So i was shooting the 13 gr Zan slugs at the long range, and since we found the range finder it is verified by leupold to be 71 M as i was shooting from a table in front of our shot shed in the field.
Anyway was shooting at a bunch of stuff in the back of the field, until i saw a fly land on my week old cardboard shoot N see target backing.
So i figured, well you just shot a shot that was 2 inches low and 1/2 inch Left of where you aimed, so using that i took aim at the fly.
And i whacked it good, well good enough there was fly splatter beside the .177 hole.

71M fly.jpg

We also agreed upon making some benches to shoot from not in out shed, but way further back, this will give me +120 - 125 M to the far end of the field, and then we will have to figure something 50 M for my friend, but i think that could be made at the end of the 20 foot container in the field used for driver tower when the boys race their big RC cars.
So gotta come up with a way to make 2 fixed bench rest tables for us, CUZ both of us are not happy shooting from the picnic tables we use now, not least seat being way too high VS the level of the rifle on the table.

It's sure fun to wack flies. Just don't try it on the living room walls or on a window! 😂🤣😅
