This sounds like just the kind of pesting I do all the time. I live on a farm as well. I shoot an FX Impact M3 and use 32 grain slugs. I have shot many many pigeons, starlings and gophers out to 175 yards.

Remember to cock the rifle. You cannot hear the air coming out with the compressor running. The hammer spring will open the valve with zero pressure.

No, it's not a translation problem, the forum is international, in many countries this tube is called a compressor, it would probably be correct to call it a pump, but it was not my idea to call it a compressor . Sorry.

I didn't say that it was your idea to call it that, why are you making this adversarial?

As I attempted to explain, it is not termed as "compressor" in English and I simply asked for clarification. How else is one to clarify what you meant?

This is a USA-based forum.

I think it is best that we not interact so will I take that action.

I wish you good fortune. Goodbye.

One other visual identifying difference: if you watch both kinds in flight, the beautiful high-contrast pattern on the Mourning Dove's tail is obvious. The tail is also noticeably longer than that of the eurotrash dove.

I haze the eurotrash doves with steel cans, either the noise from shooting one when the bird is around, or by banging one with some rocks in it on a hard surface. Because their in-VA-sive, loud call is intended by the male to brag about a good potential nesting site, I also make loud noise myself to drown it out.

Aural identifying pnemonic:

In-VAAAAAAY-sive, In-VAAAAAAY-sive, In-VAAAAAAY-sive! (Eurotrash dove call, louder and repeated more often; definitely a "proclamative" sound to it, like "it's MY place, it's MY place, it's MY place")

We-ARE-Mour...Ning...Doves... (much softer and not as repetitive call of Mourning Doves; definitely a cooing sound)

Good job exterminating some of the invasives! I hope to improve my shooting enough to help out.

I love the mourning dove call. That whistle at the beginning of the sequence reminds me of a soft train whistle and I love it.

As far as shooting goes I’m no expert but practice is key. Don’t just the gun… know YOUR gun. Also picking the right spot to shoot from. If you can frame your shot where a miss doesn’t matter you’d be amazed how much that little confidence boost/relaxation can improve your shooting. If you have the ability to record shots then rewatch your misses. I learn more from the misses than I do the hits and I do show that footage to my shooting friends for feedback. Pride/ego can be the biggest impediment to any kind of improvement.

Iowa Airgunner · Jun 21, 2025

I understood, and think it would be a fun class. I am also adding bench rest. I want to get into extreme field target. I am even planning a Red Ryder challenge at Christmas.
My over all goal is to bring airgun awareness to Iowa.

I think if I just keep at it and be consistent.

@WillM any updates on this?

PumaCarl · Saturday at 8:30 AM

You just simply cannot generalize performance on these things when every guns air discharge is different. The only thing that you can do is list everything that your gun is set at and using and say that this works best for me in this situation and that's about it.

Airgun Al · Jun 24, 2025

I ordered, received and installed the Umarex Notos / Buckrail pump action.
The kit was very easy to install, and just like an old Mossburg shotgun, follow up shots are now a breeze!
Very impressed with Buckrail's enginering:

Has anyone noticed a larger fluctuation in weight with the hp2 vs hp ?

I’ve got nothing to do but be sick right now. I’ll weigh a Tin of 25 gr .217

Maple Custom Mags are now offering a 7 shot mag for the .30 Cal Sonoran, I just received a prototype mag and they work great.
Same quality as all of their other mags!!

>Also, the fill probe fits loosely in the bottles. Just need new O'rings????

It's wild isn't it? The double o-ring fill probe hole is cool, the force is equal on both sides so it doesn't want to just shoot out of the hole.

It will 1 day

mine has.

The above version has a functional shroud. More useful and flexible options.

any shape will do... as long as your mounting holes match. That said i like a simple round plate with a 2" hole, and you can make reducers to decrease the size of the KZ. Pic #2 shows a reducer in use.

Thanks. I'm trying for some variety for EFT. I have a new trigger design that I hope will work better.

the parts diagram at JG air guns doesn't show that piece to be threaded even though it looks that way
oh, i can see the damage but the set screw is holding it together with it set in the dimple
would i put something on the set screw hell yes
would i try to shim the stem with something maybe but you are looking at maybe 8-15 thousands just guessing
JG has a complete piston for sale

View attachment 571292

Thankyou! Yes, there is a whole piston for sale at a price of $41, the piston cap costs 9.95.

rickschowengerdt · Jun 20, 2025

Good afternoon, it sounds like to me a possibility of maybe the scope is not lined up straight or you did not mention if you have a level on the rifle to make sure you are not canting the rifle a tall target test at 50 yd. Would figure out if it's a scope issue? Or if you might need to index the barrel.. If you need any more information on a tall target test, let me know hope this helps.

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.

I've spent that much stocking up on pellets for my first air rifle, and I've only had it a few weeks!

My current pellet consumption borders on the absurd as far as I'm concerned. Though I think I found two different brands of 25.39 pellets the crown likes, so that should help keep my expenditure on pellets stable...which still remains absurd.

Looks like it will be a nice day in Palmyra, PA on Saturday.

You know something we are all seeing today. Lack of parts? I have 3 compressors down. Waiting on parts.
i,m a hot & cold shooter. In the winter I do not shoot much. Even in the summer not that much as others do.
i use to, but today I have many other interest. but in saying that, I can not imagine if I shot as much as some
on the form. Is the cheap compressor market keeping new people from hanging with this hobby. We shall
see.
