N/A  Energy impact

In your opinion where does ur airgun do the most damage ,in wound channel, first impact, 1 inch in or at exit wound point ? And what ammo do u prefer ??
Depends on the ammo. Hybrid slugs are early, patriots are an inch in, nsa is a little farther and holds its shape better and might be better for bigger critters. I can't say I have a favorite, the energy levels I've got seem to be more than enough anyways so it's about the precision with my current tune.

When you decide to sell or trade - research first

It’s a willing buyer and a willing seller thing
good luck… my rule is 50% of retail if you want to sell it quickly
50% was right where I was thinking tbh. It's no about recouping it all really. It's mostly just to get it gone because I can't really use it here in Dallas/FW whereas before the move, I lived in Upstate NY where you could fire it out your front door. Thanks for the advice!

Barra  Slugs in the 250z

I just received a chronograph today. Now the tuning starts in earnest. Hopefully I will have some time this weekend to mess around.
ohhhhhh $hit let’s gooooooo! Can’t wait to hear the results… got Bladefin over on H.A.M. Shooting his AEA’s 30gr slugs at 960fps now. Hes just working on getting it fine tuned on the group size. But yeah I can’t wait for you to get yours tuned up. 4 months later and I’m still genuinely surprised by this gun. In a good way…

These pictures show the difference between the 30gr at 65fpe vs 32gr at 69fpe… I’ve got the 32gr Franco’s doing 980fps now.

Other  Peep sight

I worked with a great sports optician for custom glasses first but the glasses that worked were so unique I couldn't use them for anything else and I am really near sighted. I then tried Ghost rings but my issue was with my front sight, I couldn't see it except under certain light conditions. I suspect I tried nearly every novel non-battery pistol sight that came out during 2000-2012. I worked in a PB store and just could. I even trained with both the front and rear sights taken off and that works well enough for close in shooting if you have practiced enough. I finally gave up on non-battery "old man" sights, as did most. I think practice works best at 7-10yrds, even thinking about sights just gets in the way. For hitting an Olympic 10m target bullseye well-practiced point and shoot is not good enough even if you are from Turkey:)

For indoor target shooting these days if I want to see both sights, with focus on my front sight down in the basement where I have enough LED strip lights to replicate the sun, I use a single vision pair of glasses with a right 1.5+ flip up lens. I removed the left lens of the cheap flip up readers. That way I resemble an old poorly trained Olympic "style" 10M shooter with poor equipment. But I can see the front and rear sights as well as the target well enough to plink to my hearts content.

I looked up pistol "peep" sights to see what the current conventional opinions are and have to concur that unless you are going for minute of beer can at 15' there isn't much point. There is little to no correlation to what you get from a long gun peep sight to a pistol.
I have similar eye issues and found that “pinhole glasses” solved the problem, at least for me.
Optometrists use these things for eye exams but they are available online. And they’re cheap. Basically solid black plastic “glasses” with thousands of tiny holes. I move my head around until I find one of the holes that brings everything into focus. Perhaps it’s the “pinhole effect” that seems to correct my astigmatism, while simultaneously allowing me to see the rear sight in sharp focus (normally I can only see the front sight and target in any reasonable focus). I always wear these when I shoot.
Also, I need reading glasses anymore, but apparently these pinhole glasses do much the same thing. Only downside is the very limited field of view, which makes them tedious for reading but not a problem for shooting.

FYI for you coyote hunters

Where inside the yellow is the heart?

View attachment 548121
The heart area on that coyote would be represented by the lowest portion of the yellow toward the front leg.

HOWEVER…. what’s not shown on that target are where the humerus and scapula are. As that coyote stands, the heart would be entirely covered by the scapula and a portion of the humerus (upper leg) bone. With a higher powered rifle, this is not an issue…. but with a pellet rifle, those two bones can create some problems.

Having killed hundreds of coyotes in my life, I’m routinely impressed with their toughness and tenacity. Even with my .30 Uragan I’d be looking for CNS shots, unless I could get a nice quartering away shot where odds of impacting anything but a rib are minimal

Spring(ers) have Sprung at Diablo's March 16th Field Target match today

Hey Jim, check this out!

We shot our TRAC (Tuesday Retired Airgun Challenge) match today, with a "Jim's Folly" target, and had one of our guys topple it in some horrendous wind conditions. I attached our club match report above.

FX  Impact barrel lengths

My failures were mainly slug related but it’s also happened with pellets. But I’m talking heavy pellets related to caliber. The ones you’ll be focusing on if your punching paper at 100 yards. If you are sticking with pellets and want to dabble in 32 or less grain slugs, a 600mm will do as long as it’s not 30 caliber. Without going into great detail and spending twenty minutes typing, a shorter barrel is generally capable of getting you to the speed the longer barreled gun shoots a projectile with great accuracy. But it’s because of radical settings that the shorter gun is not able to match that accuracy.
Thank you. Very helpful!

FWB  FWB Model 80

This just sold on GB https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1085680256

Went for $465 which seems like a pretty good deal. I have not kept up with the springer pistol market, more a fan of the SSP’s. What do you guys think? Original? Everything there?
without the barrel weights it would hard for me to bid on it. I think it may be very hard to find them separately. The pistol is on my bucket list though. The weights are what separate the pistol apart from the 65 and the 90.

Indiana airgun show

Shout out to all agn members for helping to making this happen. If you can attend please do so. If this is a success then it will continue to grow. I have no affiliation with this but hopefully any airgun enthusiasts will attend.
Thanks for the “shout out”!

The show is progressing nicely. I’ve got a maximum of 98 tables available for vendors with only 11 left available.

Pyramyd Air, Shooting 7 Targets and Rhino Filed Targets have sponsored some choice raffle items.

Along with all the collectors and hobbyists who have tables we have industry members too. High Pressure Pnuematics, Skout, Serpent Air, Airgunwerks, JG Airguns, and Baker Airguns will be in attendance.

EDgun  Edgun Leshiy 6.1 Special Edition conversion to a shorty?

Its very easy on a Leshiy! I have 250mm , 450mm , and 600mm barrels for mine all in 30 caliber. barrels are easy to change. then just appropriate handguard. For the short 250mm I have a short handguard I put an AR style hand stop on it to make sure I don't get any fingers or anything in front of the muzzle! This makes a very handy truck gun. FX 50.2 grain pellets are doing 705 fps , 450mm are doing 835fps and 600mm are doing 900fps. So they are a very versatile gun and easy to work on.

Has any one take a deer or something with an AGT Netvor?

I didn't know it had come out yet, and yeah why is the world so quiet about it??
@steve123 It seems that AGT screwed the pooch and sent guns out to reviewers, bench rest styled long-range shooters, and paper punchers Instead of hunters. Once the videos are made and uploaded, then what? How many people are really gonna continue to shoot .45 caliber airguns for recreation?

i have plenty of Orings
i had to look hard for this answer and i assume it is correct
everything i read was measure the damn thing and figure it out yourself and in this case that is what happened
but i will be the first to tell you after chasing Oring ring sizes for 15+ years they can be tricky to find and to measure
oh i know all the places to find them but still
sometimes you take a flyer and buy several sizes and hope for the best

Rookie Mistakes?

I first bought a new in the box RWS Diana 48 .177 back in 2012. I was pretty accurate with 8.3gr pellets and iron sights up to 25 yards, until I began shooting with more modern Exact Monster Diablo 13.43gr (not the new "improved"); found out the heavier .177 with the weight of a .22, but with the flat trajectory of the .177 and with my 48 open iron sight was spot on at 35-40 yards...the maximum with my eyes.
Then I decided to go longer distances with the scoped PCP route with a hand pump.......BIG MISTAKE! Hand pump was a killer, then to further the "big mistake" I invested in an expensive compressor than had to invest in a quality moisture filter! Now I can be very accurate out to 60-70 yards.
However, I still prefer going back to my simple old 48 springer with open iron sights for 90% of my shooting....just feels so good in my hands and very, very satisfying up to 40yds which is my eyes limit; much more so than the longer range expensive scoped PCP with all its necessary expensive support items.
