Love me a red dot on pistol for 25 meters in to 10 meters!

Here is a reminder of the Worlds website.

www.wftc2024.com

We’ve been getting a lot of emails about info that is contained on the site, or that was also contained in your welcome letter.
We are excited to welcome competitors from around the globe this week, and look forward to being your host.

I went with the Huma from my reg collection for the RTI I was selling for a couple reasons. The kid I sold it to is never ever going to go chasing dreams with the gun. Probably because he’s not a member of this forum or watches YouTube videos. I knew 135b was going to cover him for the two pellets he was going to use. I also hooked him up with a SCBA bottle to fill the gun. Seeing as how the Huma appears to be a self regulating slow filler, I didn’t have to worry about him scorching something filling the gun like he’s in combat or something. He’s had no complaints for well over a year now. I told him to check the back gauge and let me know if the gun is ever in the 140’s after sitting.

I've been nearsighted since 10ish and it hasn't gotten better over time, now right at the door of 70. I gave up shooting indoors 20 yrs ago because I could not see the front sights any longer. Presbyopia. For pistol work I resigned my self to red dots, lasers, etc. I even found a friendly optometrist in my late 40s who let me bring an airsoft Glock in so we could make a special pair of glasses but even those didn't work well.

Then a few weeks ago I got an AV 46M and got a whole lot of lights for my 9.3M basement range. But the front sights were still too blurry. I read that if the target is blurry and your front sights crisp that is OK. So I would try to achieve that.

I did a lot of reading on shooting 10M with prescription glasses. What I read was that +.75 fixes most issues and can be ordered as a one eye clip on. However, some shooters use +.25, +.50 and some +1.0 or higher, but most use +.75. There is some math involved but +.75 is right for most and is directly associated with distance from the eyeball to the front sight. And I had no idea if I needed +.25, +.50, +.75, +1.0, +1.25 and so on.

I looked at all the online companies that sell those one eyed clip ons for 10m pistol shooters and looked at the prices and said, I'll experiment first. Flip up readers. I figured I could take off the left eye lens of a flip up reader if I had to. So I ordered +1.00 flip up readers from Amazon. I didn't see any +.75 readers. Got the +1.00 pair, went to the basement with my regular bifocals, clipped them over my bifocals, turned on all the lights and sighted down the 46M. Holy cannoli! Not only could I see the front sights as crisp as I have ever seen a handgun front sight but I could see the target well enough to not have to do anything else. It was a $12.95 solution that has plagued me for years.

Great points with regard to follow up shots, not needed if I use a burst....... Well I reckon the follow up is happening at the same time.
Break barrel or pump up make a quick follow up shot impossible, bolt or lever or semi auto keeps you on the sights. Vermin deserve a quick painless departure from this world, a follow up shot is often the right thing to do. For pest elimination C02 or N2 would permit a much quicker 2nd shot when needed. I'm leaning more to advise PCP for this reason, with a hand pump. I am not up on the energy delivery for C02 and N2. .22 PCP has enough snort for larger small critters needing removal.

But I'll assume you hopefully looking for a member alternative parts find ?

Looking to buy a set of sights for Weihrauch HW77K.

Jeff's a great guy, I have bought airguns from him as well as lots of parts and pellets! He packages everything really well also.

thanks again for letting me know, yea nice people to talk to over the phone

At the moment Ive got the 13.5gr hammer, and slightly stiffer spring, m the Huma gen3 reg, 90-135 Belleville springs.. thinking of adding the 14.5, hammer and 135-200bar regulator belllevilles, max tension spring ,hi flow pin probe.. what gains can be realistically expected from a dreamline?

Has anyone installed the entire. System. What gains were made over stock capability?

@shambozzie. Yes, your backyard is the best target range period. Maybe you can drill and hang those golf balls on a string so you don't have to set them up.

That won’t be a problem.

I figured that out long ago.

Not a problem. The moderators usually see things and move them where they are supposed to be.

I totally agree with you but they didn't so there it is.

Glad that you got it back together!
“It would be nice if I could have my pressure gaugue there, instead of on the end of the tube. Staring at the muzzle while filling has never set right with me...”
I agree with this, however, this design is the simplest to maintain tube volume. I have a rectangular inspection mirror that I set at 45 degrees on a flat surface at my fill station to watch the gauge.

Thank you for watching. Yes, that was a fun clip to capture the cat in motion.

Oh waoooo i got super frustrated when my impact m4 wasn't hole on hole at 90 yards, i thought the i should be able to do that and i started analyzing how and why the gun sometimes opened up and shoot from half inch group now and not the next and backwards up to 3 or 4 inches having slow spread in fps ,and I stiffer up the barrel liner with cf sleeve then put groove on the cf sleeve for an o ring and then carefully thread in the whole barrel sleeve until passing the threads all of this making sure every o rings passes through good and then after 4 o rings install is much much better i don't have half inch consistently yet but I am trying and will keep trying and upgrading my gun until i get half moa or somebody posted the RTI mora saying that is a moa gun out the box if bought from talon tunes with altaros slugs if with in a year i can't get my m4 at least moa consistently 100%, i will try another brand until then I hope i can achieve my goals because i love everything about this platform....

Doubt an FX Impact can shoot accurately at 100 yards.

Bedrock Bob said:

That works great in a match where every shot counts. It sucks when plinking shotgun shells from 20-75 yards. You have to learn your transitions instinctively or you wind up spending more time estimating range and adjusting your scope.

Once again you do your best and learn from your misses. Pretty soon your instinctive hold over becomes mighty close. The best shot in the field is the guy that can learn from his misses quickly.

Imagine hunting jackrabbits and having to dial a scope! Or shotgun shells that jump 5-20 yards with each hit. You just aren't going to dial every shot. Your going to have to learn to hold over instinctively and then know how to correct for error whether it be elevation or windage.

What makes sense in the rarified air of competition shooting is often contrary to how you shoot in practical applications.

There is no way I could compete in a match with guys who dialed every shot. That's precision. On the flip side a guy that can't make instinctive transitions is going to come up short when plinking or hunting. I'll hit a shotgun shell 6-8 times and knock it completely off the range by the time you could click for your second shot. Yes I'll miss a couple times. But I can hit more times in a shorter amount of time. Instinctive accuracy will trump precision every time in most shooting situations outside of a target range.

So I suppose it's all just a matter of what works best in your situation. If you have the time and a stationary target clicking may be the best way to make every shot count. Shooting a target that repositions itself every few seconds is a completely different ball game.

Original poster said he is only shooting set distances 25,50,100 at targets that’s why clicking makes more sense, I have my field target guns set up with duel numbers on my wheel one is for clicking the other holdover one is strictly for ft the other is for pesting and ft and benchrest so I do use both methods just depends on what discipline I’m shooting

When my Boss was acting squirrelly I rebuilt the OEM twice but couldn't get it right, decided on replacement with the Huma on Centercut's suggestion. Glad I listened. Just a heads up, some rebuild kits for the Boss DON'T include the exterior reg o-rings! They're 11.91x2.62 Buna 70.

Good to know
Thanks, Gerry

I got one on my Boss but can't remember WHERE I got it! You can just as easily order the regular HS adjustment screw cap from FX & put it behind existing one. Works exactly like brass one.
Edit: got it from Huma but "out of stock" there now. $8. My suggestion will work the same. P/N 11030 on Cyclone diagram (C18 on exploded diagram)
FX Airguns/Support/Drawings/Cyclone

Have a Mordax thats about 2 months old. Have shot the hell out of it since I got it. No issues. With that said I think every airgun is prone to a leak sooner or later. One of my EvoLs for example leaked the moment I got it home on the first fill up. Took care of it and have not had an issue since. This was years ago. Had an EDgun Lelya that would break valves at about 100 shots give or take. Tried everything but could not get it to stop so I got rid of it. Sucks because I always felt that it was the most perfect bullpups I have ever shouldered. Considering the design was the same as the other EDguns other then the Leshiy so I kept clear of EDgun since. Did have a Leshiy classic though. Loved that thing. Never had a single issue with it.

Great prices. Products look solid. Just need this market to turn around so I can afford fun stuff again.

I hear that a lot. Let’s all hope this ship gets righted quickly. Let freedom ring!

While most would argue against the aesthetics, I love the functionality of chassis’s.

Click to expand...

Although somewhat beastly to shoulder at age 68, the chassis is superb for me on a bench…. Although I will shoot EFT with it occasionally, I expect all my forced position lanes will be drive by shots or zero after all two lbs is TWO POUNDS

Pls delete this I was correct. the gauges are correct.

Welcome to the forum!

I see that you shoot them between legs and neck? I prefer to shoot at the head so that my meat doesn't bruise. Other than that you have great shots.

Click to expand...

Sometimes I brain shoot them. It depends on how stable and confident I feel about the shot. Heart/lung shots provide more margin for error. I’ve accidentally hit a few squirrels in the jaw and I hate seeing them suffer.
