The AAFTA Field Target Nationals took place last weekend under some damp and less than desirable conditions.

Bill Rabbitt led the Hunter division both days and came away with the win and the High Overall score for the match of 112/120.

Greg Sauve also led wire to wire in WFTF and racked up his 8th National championship with a 110/120.

Zachary Loesser took first in the Limited Pistol division with a very solid 36/40.

These guys are dedicated individuals that put in the work it takes to be at the top of the sport. I thank them for their tremendous effort and also for relying on Thomas Air rifles to support their relentless quest to be the best.

Greg Sauve, Bill Rabbitt, and Zach Loesser

What I typed was a small portion of what Sam Fadala said in one of his books describing people who share a similar view as you in regards to adequate power for use on large game animals and I trust his information orders of magnitude more than I do yours. My quote was meant to add a little humor, a quality you apparently lack unless it's trying to degrade others.

No Matt, this formula I made is to basic. It does not include BC. It just a matter of what I saw in regard of compensation at 190 yards and at 88 yards with the JSB's 34 grain that I am actually shooting with my Panthera.

So there are some many complex ingredientes to take into consideration that it won't worth it to be shared.

Don't drill your air tank...the regulator does need to breathe to atmosphere but it should be fine from factory, otherwise send it back.

The more likely scenario (the above could be possible just very unlikely and if so at fault of the manufacturer), is that the regulator is in bypass mode, resulting in full HPA pressure being present at the valve at all times.

You bought a pcp with very little support. It's a beautiful gun and a shame it's not working as it should.

I'd send it back to the place of purchase if you're not capable of tearing down and diagnosing the issue yourself.

That would mean inspecting the regulator, potentially measuring, ordering and replacing the o-rings, or adjusting it if its just out of adjustment, as well as verifying the regulator has access to atmospheric air, which would require a factory placed hole in the air tube located where the regulators breathe hole is. Could be as simple as that passage way being clogged/blocked by some machining contaminate or the like.

I have the HW45 Black Star and the HW75, both in .177. I have more rounds through the HW45, it is good enough to hit cans up to 30 yards if I do everything right. It is simply more fun to shoot than the HW75.

However, the HW75 is a much more accurate pistol. It is a bit boring to shoot compared to the HW45. Does best at 10 meters in doors. A little under powered for outdoor cans but can be done.

The Goldilocks of the HW pistol line is the HW70 Black Arrow. The HW30 of the pistol line up. This pistol, a tin of pellets and some soup cans is all you need out to 30 yards. I have managed to hit a coffee can at 80 yards a time or two when the wind cooperates. Loves the JSB RS or H&N Terminators
