I might have to pick up a tin of those and do some more testing

Go get 'em Luis! Have fun while you're at it too

Freeman, I doubt you would be disappointed in the power in a 25 caliber Katran but it will depend in part on which one you get. They offer as short as a 230mm barrel but it looks like you have to go up to the 280mm to get it in 25. I would not get that model looking for power. I was looking at the 400mm barrel and I think it should easily make 50 fpe. There is a longer barrel too that should do even better. I am estimating based upon my Caiman. It's reg is set at 100 bar and I am getting low 30s fpe in a 22. The Caiman barrel is 520mm long, however. Even with that barrel it is less than 28 inches long.

For Florida man, if you think those clips are small now you should see them through my 68 year old eyes. I agree, they are tiny. I'm sensing you are not seeing a need for more power in your bullshark 25 and I can understand that sentiment. I killed 18 squirrels with my 25 caliber P35 at about 32 fpe (shooting FTTs). But it's a nice gun and more accurate at it's current 50 fpe tune. You'd have to install that Extreme airguns plenum to get there, however. But I don't see it at this power level as very backyard friendly. It is quiet enough but the 34 grain pellets it likes would carry a long way on a miss or even a pass through.

If it keeps coming over you might have a new friend. Sometimes it's funner to watch than kill . I have let many animals pass like young squirrels that don't know people like to kill them. But ya, as long as their not doing any harm.

The invasive species don't get any second chances.

Hello fellow shooters and best of luck to all heading to the Cajuns! I am not making the trip this year, instead staying back to dry run the new/old discipline on the 100yd range and prepare for N50 after the FT match. More on those here:

April 2024 Boerne Field Target Match Details:

Saturday April 20th
33 Shooting Club Road
Boerne, Texas
8am: Gates open
9am: Match Start
60 shots, 10 lanes, 30 Targets, 2 FP Lanes. AAFTA style with 20 fpe Pistol welcomed.
Air, water, snacks, a chrony and bug spray will be available.
Cost is $20 per shooter and waived for first time visitors and new shooters.

Club news and updates:
Saturday April 20th will be Boerne’s Airgun Field Target Match. This will be a 60 shot match as all the lanes have been overhauled! I added close to an entirely new layout to the course and have some scars to prove it. We will also be shooting many of the 100fpe targets simply tuned to 12 fpe moving forward. Our club has been shooting our existing targets for 10 years now and have been band-aided and beat up again and again over the years, so needless to say they need some help. Blessed to have kept a set of such versatile targets. Lord sure works in mysterious ways. Might be safe to say it will probably be the most expensive and blatant overkill for a AAFTA style field target course ever but whatever, this is Texas and swappable reducers makes life easy. Reducers will be painted our now traditional yellow for continuity. Some near targets and standing lane will likely be using the functioning and dependable original targets however.

Our club president, Glen D. has joined the darkside and has purchased a Ghost from Tenacious Airguns! After trying FT with the Tenacious Cricket 2 donated to BFTC, he was hooked, as most of us were the first time, and will be joining us on the lanes this spring. Glen also will be competing in N50 and Luftgewehr Schützenverein. Welcome to airguns, the rabbit hole is real.

This year is exciting for the Boerne Field Target Club, we celebrate 10 years of operation and while we are still working out the growing pains, our goal is in reach and the hard work is showing its value to the shooters.

Keep your eyes up for Luftgewehr Schützenfest!

Please contact me with questions or for more information

See you on the lanes!

May God bless Texas and all things airgun.

These .357 slugs are good and shoot pretty well from my AEA big 9.

I have a few CARM Mags for my U2, they work great, one less shot than factory mag in .30

Benchrest planned for some time in May?

Ausgezeichnet.

I was aware of the German contribution to the US with its shooting clubs, not aware if the Danes that got out of Dodge in time brought anything similar with them to the new country.

I have two with the plastic furniture. One is my brother’s old gun from the 70’s and the other came from a friend. Both were rebuilt and for some reason my brother’s won’t shoot pellets, can’t figure out why. An American classic absolutely.

There are a couple of Gamo pellets that my (three) guns won't chamber. They hang up when you try to close the bolt. I don't know why. Other pellets work just fine.

Here's a pic of my younger brother's 760. It's a mix and match of standard and XL parts. I remember refinishing the wood and making the bolt knob back in '82.

I compared the piston length on huma and it's exactly the same as original from FX. I got extra hight pressure huma, the spring stack on those is: )()()()(

On Huma's website, the Extra High pressure starts at ~135. So if you plan on going lower than that 150 mark you need the low pressure.

I'd have to say that the mil-dot reticle was a game changer for me. That and other advances made in optics since the eighties.

Being able to measure a target, then calculate range with appropriate hold-over is pretty big in my book.

Cheers,

Optics in general have improved radically over the past 40 years. The mil-dot is a huge improvement, but so is the range of focal adjustment. There are scopes out there now with a 10x range. Christmas tree reticles, illuminated reticles, 30mm and 34mm tubes, target turrets, zero stops, FFP and SFP, the list just goes on and on. Also the quality of mounts. I remember trying and failing repeatedly to get the cheap dovetail mounts we had back in the 80's to stay put.

That's crazy. But clearly doable

Hello looking to buy 25 caliber Daystate magazines, old version

not new to tuning pcp but new to tuning with the valve adjuster. i'm shooting 30 cal hybrid slugs in 600mm barrel.
wondering if there is consensus on fine tuning with hammer spring or valve? what i mean:
- i'm looking for 950-960 fps per fx rec on the hybrids
- start off with heavy hammer spring and valve wide open
- increase reg to get to around 1015 fps
- reduce hammer spring to around 965 fps (about 5% off plateau)
- increase valve till fps just starts to drop which puts me right around mid 950's

question 1 - if i want to start playing with velocity to get best accuracy (say go btw 930-970 in 10fps increments) should i adjust hammer spring or valve?
question 2 - once i find the best accuracy - lets say its low at around 930, i would probably redo the above steps to have lower reg pressure to bring the plateau down around 980-990 so i could tune 5% off plateau and be right at 930 - does that sound right?

thanks

I'd say that is about like the third example in the Altaros information - so about 10 minutes of continuous run time to top off most guns and probably over 90 minutes to top off 45 minute tank with 100 bar of air (and longer for bigger tanks).

Obviously it would work, but how well that is up to you. And how long it lasts doing it is a function of its age and condition to date.

I do think these booster pumps are a great way to go, but we have to be realistic on our expectations based on what we are using to drive them.

Yeah I think it's worth it to me I have a yong Heng I would gladly wait 90 minutes to top it off instead of having to rebuild a Chinese compressor every year

Selling my used once scope in new condition. Comes with box and everything it came with. Selling scope because it’s not my cup of tea. Asking $275 shipped f&f PayPal please.
