I just picked up the app this morning. It surprised me as to how many birds I didn’t know were there. I’m a bird hunter, have been since is was a kid. Back then, sparrows were my main quarry because they ate so much grain from my dad’s birds. (Pheasants, peacocks, chickens, Canada geese, etc, We had a big exotic farm). Since I got back into culling birds, I decided I wanted weed out the riff raff as you will, to bring in some of those birds I knew were here, but were crowded out by the house sparrows and the like. Then came the war on starlings. And that war has been raging for 4 yrs now and I have a pretty good handle on that population with the help of two feed lots I shoot off of. Now it seems the red wing black birds are taking up that space. Any way, long story short, since I’ve started that culling, the amount of sparrow breeds other than house sparrows are outstanding. I’ve never seen a silver crown until last year, I didn’t even know there were three types of song sparrows and tree sparrows. And with this app, I found another species I never knew we had. Grass hopper sparrow, never knew it existed. So I can say I really like the app. It’s going to be a valuable tool going forward.

I need to find a feed lot that will let me shoot birds for them. I’d gladly bust out the tripod and slug slugs at winged rats all day. My personal favorite are the Collared Doves. The thwack they make and seeing the crop explode then I put a slug in them is very satisfying. The fact that I’m making farmers and native doves happy is the cherry on top….

I’m actually am going to use this app to expand my range. I can’t really tell a house sparrow from a lot of other L.B.B’s (little brown birds) so this will help me find more things to put on the shooting menu. I generally kinda like birds (except turkey and quail… I would demolish the local population with zero remorse if allowed haha) so I’m extremely cautious about which ones I’ll shoot.

I just got off the phone with Airforce and when changing from aluminum bottle to carbon fiber they suggested a new spring $5...Just some info for us...

I'm actually getting the porting done now. Btw is that a 700 mm barrel on your Notos? If so I can you DM me where I can get one?

Yes, it is a 700mm FX liner kit, PM me for details.

I have a Beeman Original 6, one or the rebranded Diana models, two each FWB 65 and 80, a pair of IZH 46m, several of the Daisy 747 and 777 models and a HW 75. Everything mentioned after the FWB's is a SSP and therefore recoiless. Of the spring air types I like the FWB's best, not as bulky and heavy and just shoot better.

Daisy was my first BB gun, I forget the model but it went through a lot of ammo. We collected drink bottles along the road and got a dime each. Kept us busy all summer. I think I still have one of those around here in working condition.

Don’t want my air brothers in trouble that’s all. I can care less how they die

I have the stock YH filter first with it's absorber element. I don't reuse these because the YH is splash lubricated and the element always catches some oil. Then I have a little bigger cylindrical filter housing that has a plastic cartridge inside. The cartridges came with charcoal in addition to desicant but I dumped that out and replaced it with color changing desicant. I replace the beads when they have absorbed moisture. I have a one way valve on the outlet of the second filter. That prevents me pressurizing the YH with the bottle and prevents me loosing the air already in the bottle if an O-ring on a filter goes bad. But you have to be careful dead heading the YH to be sure you don't trap air you can't vent if you put in a one way.

Anyone know the difference between an hw 100 and 110 models?

Just an observation and not a slam at all.
I see that there are what appears to be plier or water pump plier teeth marks on the knurled knobs.
If those are in fact teeth marks, it's very likely that you are closing the bleed valve much too tightly by using tools to close them and shortening the life of the Delrin by doing so.
The bleed valves should not need to be overtightened.
Just giving some advice, no harm meant.

mike

Thanks for the advice @Revoman.
I do not consider this a slam at all
But those tooth marks are not from tightening, but from untightening the bleed screws when they are under pressure.
Tightening is by hand when there is no pressure on the screw before filling.

Where is the transfer port set? I was able to tune mine in 177 down to 10.3 at 900ish on low and then turn to high for 13/16gr. Turn transfer port to low and tune it there.

Ok, I will give that a try. So set it on low and turn the hammerspring in, so it rises from 750 to 870ish?

I like to shoot 10 Meter from a bench on my patio with a Daisy 853. While my groups tend to vary in size depending on the time of day and my level of activity, the RWS R10s and the Eley tenex in 4.51 & 8.2 grains (when they can be found) seem to shoot much more accurate than anything else I have currently tried. QYS along with the H&N Match seem to do fairly well also.

Will get some photos up eventually. For now it's just a matter of manipulating my fingers go get a pellet into the barrel, yet below the scope base that extends across the top of the loading area

The ballistic calculator works so well; I'm trying to figure out what to do with all the other glass I have. I just got my 3-12 LRF HD. Though I would like even more image quality (another $5k) The image quality is enough for Rats under 30 yards. But the BC is incredible. I haven't yet been able to get mine to synch via WiFi, but no matter I programmed it by pushing buttons on the scope and I've gotten fast at that. I'm on the fence about whether to get their new $2,500 version with thermal capability or to buy a dumber but better image quality thermal only that is better resolution.

Thanks for the reply,

I'm just looking at it for daylight use only and recording my misses on Ground Squirrels I'm using Arken glass currently and am happy with it but....because my ranges vary from 50 to 125 yards my Zulus is a PIA, so it's on my Sapsan which is 25ish yards only. If the image quality on the DNT is equivalent to the Zulus, I'd be fine with it, but better is always better.

Generally yeah you want to set the macro to where it allows you to easily go from one tune to another. But the macro also moves the entire micro assembly incl the screw the micro is riding on, thereby increasing/decreasing the hammer. The way I understand it is that you can’t have macro on 16 (or higher number) and micro on 1 / macro on 1 or low and micro on 5 because of that. But I actually never tried…

I read about those restrictions on macro/micro settings too. They are from the owner's manual.

Wrong!

Doubling the tank volume at the same pressure does not exactly double the amount of air if you take the compressibility of air into account….

I don’t follow the above statement

Maybe you meant to say:

Doubling the tank pressure at the same volume does not exactly double the amount of air…

as that would track with the balance of your explanation.

I do think Barra missed the boat not offering a big high capacity BB magazine, They did bump it from 50 to 100 rounds ,, Got the 400 E loaned out to my Grandson so have not shot with the 100 bb magazine yet,,, The size of the Barra Mag they could easy pack 500 BBs in it,,, So simple, Would you buy a electric BB gun that shoots 100 BBs at a time or one that would shoot 500--1000 BBs on one magazine...
The engineers of the Barra , Need to watch the Blackbird video clip,,, What do we want? Please watch the clip..

Not knocking springer's or pcp's, I have many of each myself. But there is a lot to be said for grabbing a modded 1377 all wood and steel carbine and a tin of pellets for a whole day of shooting. No compressor, carbon fiber tank or heavy spring guns to lug around. Plinking and small game hunting at it's finest.
I've aquired many 1377's and 1322's over the years and still have them all.

Thx

I have owned several types of binoculars over the years. My best have been made by Leica, Swarovski and Zeiss - your preference may vary!
Spend once, cry once vs crying many times with what did not suit me. My use is from close range 10 yds + (small game) up to several hundred yards for varmints and deer, etc.
Suggestions- visit a dealer who has many brands that you can handle - look thru at something a few feet from you to several hundred yards if possible and compare as many models as you can.
It is worth the drive to find a dealer with bino selection to do this.
Good luck
