Apex got back to me asap and are going to make another air tube and ship it out. The gun is shooting perfectly so I’m in no rush to take it apart till January. .

Today I went to the airgun range for the tenth day in a row. Can’t go again till Saturday. But what a bunch of shooting and refining my scope wheel and practicing on my field target range. This is what I get from shooting 1000 pellets. I set the field targetTo difficult. All targets are from...

One thing I have noticed is these guys have disposable income. I was helping set up the pistol course for a national ranked pistol competition they have every other week. The average pistol is 3000 dollars and walking through yesterday . They are playing a 10,000 dollar game. Between the gun...

Here’s the thing. I have been in Iowa for ten years. These guys are very smart. Either university or farmers. But not a bunch of yahoos that’s for sure. They like to fiddle and fuss with machinery. The RC car group and the RC airplane club is full of these guys. The outdoors the hunting is a...

Hahaha yes!

Beating them would be fun. But my interest is to convert them. I talked to a guy that is shooting 223 and and he is retiring . Was thinking about black powder. I explained how you tune the gun a little and he thinks that might be better and cheaper than what he has. Same hole in the paper.

I really try to get free stuff to make targets out of. But I might have to buy a bell.

I have my saw blade target set up at 45 yards and I found a bell so I kinda set it up behind the blade. I spent a little bit of time sighting in at 45 yards using the paper target to get it dead on. First shot at the target was a bulls eye. But the bell flew away. Second shot was a miss and...

They are shooting 6 inch targets at 50 yards and one two inch wide six inch silhouette 25 yards. They have some big old plates out at the end. This should work well.

I have an airgun field target and bench rest range set up at the local rifle club. And I am always trying to “advertise” and recruit new people into the airgun community. Seems the guys in the club know about it but haven’t come out. So I decided to join them and show how an airgun does. The...

I gravitate to target rifles. Really nice looking stocks and all the bells and whistles.

This story is what is amazing. I finally got the new parts from Apex. The box was run over or something. The ends were both torn because the sharp edge of the air tube cut through the packaging. Luckily nothing was lost. I contacted them and I am filing another clam with Fed Ex. Funny part is...

And so the journey begins .30 cal FX Crown.

Out at the range today. Forty five shots on the easiest course I can set up. I don’t want people to get frustrated . I went to the course and someone put scratches all over a couple of the 25 yard face plates. And did not hit anything at 35-65 yards. So I moved all the targets to what I call...

Are you kidding me?
