How about mentioning the accuracy of guided missiles or achievements in outer space exploration. It is about as relevant. This is, but for a few exceptions, one of the more interesting and informing threads I've read lately. Posts the quoted and this one are among those exceptions. I'm a...

Reading this thread was like watching SNL.. which I haven't watched since when it was stupid but funny. Now it's just plain slapstick.

As others have said and even illustrated, there are easily visible differences between AA, FX, and JSB pellets. I often have a few pellets that didn't get in one of my sorted piles and it's easy to pick them up, take a look, and know which is which. They each have easily identified visual...

I never consider "having" anyone besides me touch my guns. I don't care about "warranty services." I'm better. I consider my DS HR my air rifle gold standard. It's my Fluke and Tektronic mil spec reference. I invite a reason to explore its internal riches. So far, however, it only wants to be...

It's not just in athletics that one's mental concentration makes all the difference. Think racing. Or instrumental artists who have a string or key break during a performance and "work around it" without anyone noticing. Every time I went riding during my 30+ years on sport bikes I evaluated my...

Thinking on what's presented here I pressed myself for where I fit. No firm answers that mean anything to anyone relating to my experience, but some thoughts on the overall subject. Although I can supply lots of experiences in first PB and then air rifles, I've had both kinds in each... that...

Interestingly, I came to the PCP forum looking for a quieter gun than my non-PCP air rifles, a multi-pump, a single pump, a break barrel, and a side lever. :)

I will continue to enjoy the perfect performance of my untunable Revere. I had more than enough tuning with my LW Synrod. I like hitting my targets more than experimenting with cooking.

ram2jeep posted the definition. Motorhead describes that definition in the hands of a professional airgun Tuner. Relative to a PCP airgun, adjusting, if there is an external control, is done with any control that alters only one variable, like power. Adjusting is what one does to a rifle...

A bit of disagreement here, as power is only one of the benefits of PCPs over springers. Also, neither of my PCPs are “cheap” especially considering the support system for them. PCPs mostly have magazines… a huge benefit to hunters. PCPs are FAR easier to shoot… in accuracy, hold, rest...

Bought a D48 as my first new pellet gun in 40 or so years, and had my RWS/Diana 35 as a reference. Wrong move. Nothing close to the quality of my old 35. POS in fact. Lots wrong that I corrected… then it broke in six months. No more spring guns for me.

RStern, a member on GTA, described this subject and how to prepare springs for a consistent life without concern with them taking said sets. The spring is, as an example, placed between washers on a threaded bolt or rod, then compressed until coil-bind. That’s it. The spring has been conditioned...

Although I grew up shooting in the hills of WV and was always effective I moved to a state where ammo, even BBs, were tightly regulated. To enjoy my shooting I joined a Sportsman Association with all the ranges for archery, silhouette, pistol, and rifle. However, I had to get a Carry Permit to...

When I got my Huntsman Revere .22 this past May I shot “normal” targets like always, from splatter to hand drawn. But it didn’t take long for the juice to leave that route. It was so accurate it threatened boredom. There was no sense shooting under 40 yards, just a waste of time and targets. So...

IMO, cats are wild animals that, if you choose to live with them you do so under the terms of a Truce you mutually agree on. But they’ll always remain oriented on the other side of Domestic. A dog, OTOH, is born innately a part of the pack Human, their feral self left far behind. We belong...
