    Compact Scope for FX Wildcat

    My FX WC3 arrived a couple of days ago from UT. I have an Element scope, but really want something lighter, smaller, and not as expensive to use on small game within 30-40 yds. I'd like to stay in the 40-44mm range, side focus, and a reticle useable by old eyeballs on small critters (rats...

    Utah Airguns poor service

    Did you call UTA, express your dissatisfaction, and give them a chance to explain what happened? I do agree, in part, with easyridemm about both Fed Ex and UPS having significant delays with shipments. Since the COVID mess hit, both of these companies' deliveries have been lengthened - as has...

    Palm Beach Airguns

    +4 I bought an Element scope from Palm Beach Airguns a couple of months ago because Joel spent over 30 minutes providing detailed information about the + & - differences between scopes. I learned a LOT thru his willingness to take time to share his knowledge. The scope arrived and was...

    Please welcome TPS (The Pellet Shop) to our list of fine partners!!

    Welcome! I've done business with TPS, and they provided outstanding service. During the more recent pellet scarcity when most other sites were sold out, and the few that were not had jacked up their prices, TPS had the pellets I needed and, unlike the other few companies with higher...

    New FX Enroute - First Steps?

    TMH, thank you for the very good recommendations/comments. I do have a chrony, so I'll check the FPS with the two pellets I shoot almost exclusively - .22 JSB Hades and 18.13 Diabolos - to reduce the populations of varmints robbing our bird feeders and damaging the wife's flowers. I presume...

    New FX Enroute - First Steps?

    Keyman, good guidance. Fortunately, when I sit on my back deck, I'm already "...in the woods!" on our farm in the rural Tennessee hills.

    New FX Enroute - First Steps?

    My first new PCP (Wildcat III) has shipped from UT. What are some RELIABLE sources of information from true experts on how to break-in a new PCP? Are there some important "don't do's" with a brand new air rifle I need to know? I'm learning and would appreciate any and all advice/guidance.

    Tuning Wildcat barn power level question

    Might it help to get a piece of metal the same thickness as the barn's roof and use it as a test target? That would provide some direct feedback on pellet types and power levels. I live on a farm with a couple of old barns and there's generally a piece of metal roof around somewhere. Our...

    Middle Tennessee PCP Shooters

    SteveV and AirShot, thank you for the info and photos. These men look serious about their sport and equipment. I'll try and track down a member - their website hasn't been updated recently, but they do seem like a good bunch to get to know. Wish there were some air gunners in the Shelbyville...

    Compressed Air vs Nitrogen

    Thank y'all for your helpful replies to my question. The local fire dept has given me permission to fill my air tank at their station. So, based on the comments above, it seems practical to use their compressor and not have to be concerned about unwanted moisture. I'll drop $5 into their...
