    Preferred magnification when shooting offhand.

    For shooting offhand I prefer open sights or a red dot over a scope. While the gun moves the same amount irrespective of the amount of magnification, the perceived motion through magnification makes me dizzy. In addition, open sites or a red dot will make the gun lighter than if it had a...

    Standing offhand shooting - Can you handle a golf ball at 100 yards? I CHALLENGE you to do it and post a video!

    For the record, I very much believe you made the shot in three tries. What I really find impressive is the hurt that the slug put on that golf ball. That sort of damage is very close to what I have seen from 22LR. What that tells me is, FX's claim that the Panthera is on or near the same...

    Standing offhand shooting - Can you handle a golf ball at 100 yards? I CHALLENGE you to do it and post a video!

    Keep on pressing away on that doubt button. That shot is simply not that exceptional if you have taken it hundreds of times. Take a look in the ELR forum and you'll see there's are lots of members here that are making shots that are far more difficult. At my age, I simply couldn't care less...

    Standing offhand shooting - Can you handle a golf ball at 100 yards? I CHALLENGE you to do it and post a video!

    I'll respond to some of your points. With respect to "TRAINING" making it so that I would not get dizzy when looking through a scope offhand, it's clear (especially in watching your video) that you are significantly younger than I am. As you get older you will find that your body simply can...

    Standing offhand shooting - Can you handle a golf ball at 100 yards? I CHALLENGE you to do it and post a video!

    When it comes to off-hand shooting, I do much better with iron sights or fiber optics than I would with a scope. Using a scope off-hand, unless it is at 2x power or less, would only make me dizzy. In addition, it is so much easier for me to keep a rifle steady if I don't have a bunch of weight...

    If your Gun needs repair?

    This site, YouTube, and Google are my best friends. I have not needed anything else so far to fix any issue that I have had. A lot of time the videos are of my exact model detailing how to address my exact issue. Other times the videos are close enough to get me where I need to be. There...

    Hatsan Innvader .25 Magazine Spring Tension Adjustment

    I have a Flash and I believe it has the same magazine as the Invader. Loading the mag is a bit goofy in my opinion as you have to load the first pellet skirt first from the back side of the mag, and then the rest from the front. Disassembly of the mag appears to be very similar to the Gauntlet...

    A Little Relief from Inflation

    Thank you so much for what you do for the airgun community! Your products are fantastic and are always the first thing I try in an airgun to see if they will shoot slugs. I have generally found that if they don't shoot NSA slugs well, then it's probably best to stick with pellets in that...

    PCP on a Budget

    I have seen a number of threads where folks who are new to airguns would like to get into PCP but are discouraged by the initial entry cost. This thread is for anyone who would like to get into PCP on a modest budget. Recently I purchased a Beeman 2027 pistol in 177 Cal for a very modest $107...

    Counting Projectiles Per Year

    I have a spreadsheet that tracked EVERYTHING shooting related. It tracked all my costs as well as how many rounds in everything that hurled a projectile. We're talking rifles, pistols, shotguns, bows, slingshots, and airguns. I kept track of all of my relaoding components, the recipes I used...

    A Little Relief from Inflation

    I have seen a number of threads recently where folks were upset with the rising costs of everything in general and shooting airguns in particular. I just wanted to share some really great news. Not only has NSA provided free shipping for all orders of $150 or more, but they have...

    Goodbye Hatsan 135

    They are currently on sale on the Hatsan website for $229.99. They were in stock in 177, 22 and 25 cal. https://hatsanairgunsusa.com/product/mod-135-vortex-qe/ I'd get one myself if I hadn't just purchased 3 different airguns in the last month. Hope someone finds this useful. ETA: Didn't...

    Ammo choice

    For 100 meters and in I shoot pellets, past 100 meters it's usually slugs.

    Has anyone found that their gun shoots different slug diameters equally accurately with the same settings?

    I have an AT44 in 22 the shoots 217 and 218 equally poorly. :) It shoots pellets well, but I have tried easily a dozen different slugs and they all sucked. Recently I bummed some 216s off a friend and there was a noticeable improvement. I going to purchase some 2155s from NSA as a final...

    Pellet cost

    I hear you; I absolutely love not having to police my brass and not doing everything else associated with rolling your own.
