    On the advice of @JimD I shot this 30-yard challenge today. Took me about 20 minutes so no rush, with a nice result. I'll be shooting...

    JimD replied to the thread Snowpeak P35X versus P35.
    My comment on regulator adjustment is not correct. I think you have less than a turn of total adjustment possible on the regulator. I...

    JimD replied to the thread Snowpeak 60 fpe from a P35?.
    Yes but 8.5mm OD springs seem to be rare. The P35X spring uses 1.3 mm wire but is shorter than the P35 with 1.2mm wire. But 60 fpe...

    JimD replied to the thread Quick question yes or no.
    I vote Yes. It seems to me that the Red Panda's price is if anything a bit lower than other airguns with similar performance in...

    JimD reacted to blackdog899's post in the thread Quick question yes or no with Like Like.
    I voted yes but I bought used. For some reason I like this barbell of a gun. Only had a week or so but it encourages me to go to the...

    I test in wet paper. An old outdoor writer/professional hunter named Finn Aagard recommended it as a reasonable simulation of muscle...

    Most if not all of us are not. The only exception might be somebody only interested in hunting. But I still see investing less than...

    JimD replied to the thread Ballistics calculations.
    I agree with bluefax. I like to shoot groups at various distances to check the ballistics program. Often I change the bc a little to...
