Palmyra Sportsmen's Association (near Hershey, PA) - Indoor Field Target - Sunday, February 9, 2025.

Our Indoor Field Target event is a great way to get introduced to field target, have fun, or practice for the upcoming outdoor season. Even if you do not intend to shoot and just want to learn more about the air gun field target game, consider stopping by to observe and ask questions.

Targets are placed at ranges between 10 yards and 22 yards, and will be set to an AAFTA legal difficulty for standing position shots. If you are an experienced FT shooter, we encourage you to shoot the entire course standing. You are not required to shoot the standing position, there are no position restrictions for this event, shoot whatever positions you feel comfortable. The course is 5 lanes with two targets per lane, 2 shots per target. Although targets are set using rifle difficulty, you can shoot with pistol.

Since the targets are not placed at long distances, this event provides an opportunity to use guns more suited to shorter distances. You may consider shooting a multi-pump pellet gun (no BBs), pistols, or guns that shoot at lower energy levels than required for the outdoor game.

Guns must not exceed 20 fpe (foot-pounds of energy) at the muzzle.

This event is held in our clubhouse on our indoor rifle range. We will be open for sign-ups between 9AM and 1PM. Cost is $5 per round, you can re-enter as many times as time allows.

Welcome to the AGN!
As you have already witnessed, you will meet some of the nicest people in the airgun community here.

Consider the Karma SLS Compact. You will not be disappointed with its feature set and accuracy.



Another awesome platform is the Umarex Notos. You can get the PCP in so many configurations and all are smaller and much lighter than the Gauntlet Platforms.


Shoot safe!

I suppose adding an on board mic is too cumbersome for the setup? I have been considering a Wraith, but recording features are useless to me. Yeah, you should get what is described. Disappointing indeed.

I don't have any issues with the optic otherwise that is the only reason I haven't returned it for a refund. I was really wanting to hear audio from my hunts and yeah it sucks it doesn't have the features they advertise are present.

Just picked up two more cans of the Crosman hollwpoint 22 14 gr 500 count, 6.95 $ each.... My walmart normily only carries the 177 ,,

There's a .22 FX Bobcat 1 in classifieds for a cheap price. Yes, it's an older, discontinued line but if it's ANYTHING like mine (laser accurate) you can hardly go wrong. My 1st time out hunting with it & 1st kill was a 102 yard squirrel headshot. Made me a fan & a believer in .22.

Thanks for the quick response. The sortie is kinda loud but if I can't quiet it down then so be it. Thanks again matt.

Looking forward to it.

This is what I'm using to keep the trajectory under a 1/2" . I doubt pellets would be as good .

Correct. As the compressor cylinder head warms up, the grease will too and will flow easily. Without that rubber, you'll have a lot of grease going into that compressor very quickly.

The tiny hole is all that it needed, the compressor sucks air/grease from there and through the air filter.

That's good to know. Good thing I saved that rubber piece. I cut it to size and put it back in. Thanks for that info.

I don’t know about shot show but I purchased a new AR2078A a few years ago and it’s an excellent value for the money. A year later I got an Anschutz 2005 and shoot that in 10 meter more often. Both are very good rifles.

I am really looking at the pathfinder as a backpack rifle. What moderator are you running? It looks pretty compact

I run a 0dB on my .22 Pathfinder, it is a sweet little rig, with the stock folded it will fit into most rucksacks and it has plenty of power for pest out to 50+ yards. Definitely one of the undersung PCPs of the BRK lineup. But then again the entire lineup from the Concepts to the Ghost simply rock…

FX has/had an adapter to put on the early mk1 valves to make them compatible with mk3. Just a brass sleeve. New valve is backwards compatible.

LOL... My shop/shooting window stays so dirty there is not question if it's open or closed.

From the shot show, new to the market Athlon chrony. IDK for sure, but I've read it will be around $375, don't quote me on that..lol.
It looks pretty cool though.

@Hate The Rain
No problem

If the Baracuda Greens solve the supersonic problem but are not accurate enough, try the Predator GTOs. They are around 0.44 gram, 6.8 grains, and have a different shape than the 'Cudas, so they may be more accurate, maybe less. And they are twice as expensive :-(
Another trick to lower the velocity a little is to seat the pellets deeper in the breech, maybe 0.5cm, ~1/4". Use some sort of tool so that the depth is consistent.

Does anyone have the o-ring size for the sealing o-ring for the fill port? I know it's not the 4X1mm that is under the valve.

.

Wow, that is a beauty! Like cavedweller, I have a ton of memories from the '70's with my Sheridan. Just shouldering one and looking down the sights makes them feel like yesterday. Thanks for sharing.

I bought my first springer in the early '70s, a Wischo 55. As a teenager I was fascinated with its accuracy and power, exceeding the familiar store brands I owned. I continued to prefer break barrelled springers, acquiring a few more as a young adult and married man. In the late '80s, we moved to our current rural address. I abandoned my air arms since I had acreage and the ability to discharge firearms on my home ranges. I believed that .22 rimfires were superior to springers in every respect. I put my springers away, seemingly forever. As I enter my 4th quarter of life, however, I'm delighted to reintroduce myself to pellet guns. I have grandchildren now, and they enjoy firing my Daisy, Crosman, Beeman , Weihrauch and other air arms. Should I eventually return to suburban residency, I'm sure I'll find my collection to be more appropriate and valuable, as before. Finding this website will make the years ahead even more enjoyable.

Glad you returned to you youth!

Isn't Tuxing a chinese producer?

I think, most china compressor use the same china industrial parts and are manufactured in factorys which produce the same thing for a lot of brands.

btw i think Tuxing is underrated for the price they sell. I own a shoebox compressor from them and up to now it runs great. Maybe its a question if the chinese which put the parts together had a good day, tight the screws correctly, did clean the parts before implating them in the unit and so on....

If not, the product doesn't last long....

Click to expand...

Sure is Chinese. They must have warehouse storage in Kalifornia for tanks at least..
for the price of a non Chinese compressor you could get five 042 twin cylinder Tuxings .
I don’t expect any problems but if it happens It looks like Every part is available in their store .
Gx cs4i same thing.

yes that could work
i like cocking aids for the most part
the one on the BSA Scorpion works great and i just leave it in place
till it was bought up here for the model 6 i had never giving it much thought
i can design one that slides on the barrel end and hook to something on the other side of the globe sight made and made out aluminum but it would never more tools than i own

Click to expand...

A piece of U-channel steel or aluminum with a bolt through it (to hook in front of the globe sight as you said) only needs a drill to bore the hole in the right place. So if you have a drill you can do it

Gosh, this does look cool but I can’t help but chuckle at the marketing y’all use sometimes.
“unmatched accuracy.”
…said 90% of ad’s, with zero context to follow.

what tools did you use and tests did you run - hopefully simulations as well since I doubt you have every airgun at your disposal - to make such an objective determination?



sure, you could call me pedantic but it’s still friggin hilarious to me, and being a little bit pedantic is warranted in this hobby/industry I think.


edit:
ps
rather than merely complaining and not presenting any potential resolve, I’ll point out that I think much more respectable solution is when manufacturers describe average group sizes and other stats. This is actually objective and can be compared against by not only a consumer, but a companies tech‘s to help decide if an RMA is justified or not.

W.O.T.D.: pedantic.

I dont want anything only 500fps, but thats me. If it wont move a spinner, than I am out.lol. ia certainly.not tryimg a 30yd shot on rats and raccoons with one. I moved on long ago. They were fun when i had them though.
