    Reply for qball *** 100% agree .. yes indeed ... Oddly the pellet that hammered that tree chkn, passed through as they generally do and bounce off the hardwood, but this one was squished against a steel screw head that was used to assemble the feeder. The robertson head is 3D embossed into...

    P O I on FX Streamline

    Very Interesting comments on this .. I thank you most kindly! When I review my targets I can see a slight preference of the groups slightly to right of centre even on high power, so I might recalibrate my scope and move it slightly to the left and see if this tightens the vertical groups a...
