    Collating and displaying Garmin Xero data?

    Right. But what do you do with the information with the lap top. That's where I'm lost.

    Collating and displaying Garmin Xero data?

    Had anyone figured out how to do anything to make the Garmin data into something useful. There's very little the app does and the unit functions are extremely limited. The chronograph itself is great but I'm finding it hard to save and sort the data. I thought by now someone smarter than me had...

    Wal-Mart stop carrying Crosman 22 HP pellets??

    I guess crosman is ending their US pellet production. I'm also guessing Spanish Crosman Pellets are made by Gamo so I'm not hopeful they'll shoot well.

    HW/Weihrauch Hw95s versus Hw98 - pretending to spend money

    I have a 177 Hw97K and a 177 Hw95. I also have a R9, a Hw95 and a Hw98 in 20 cal. They all shoot well at times. Sometimes better than the 177 97K. Overall the 177 97K beats them all. It's not my favorite gun to shoot but it'd be the one to shoot if I were to shoot any of them competitively. As...

    Wal-Mart stop carrying Crosman 22 HP pellets??

    I bought these at a Walmart not long ago but I don't see them listed on their website. Did they stop carrying them in stores?

    N/A old man that is newby to air guns

    I pretty much agree with most everything you said. Woodchucks are usually a problem and hunted here as nuisance animals in summer. They're seldom over 20lbs but they're tough critters. I'd still personally prefer a firearm over a piston gun for them. I know you're not in the US. Out of...

    N/A old man that is newby to air guns

    He also claims to shoot as well as Si Pittaway🤔. I've killed dozens of them too. Most of them on my friend's cattle ranch and a couple here. The closest was here at the house at 18 yards with a 15 fpe 22 cal Hw95. Head shot, DRT. So it is possible. The furthest was here at 320 yards with a 223...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    I well aware of what happens from up flying barrels. I never said it had anything to do with droop. Give me a little credit. I was only addressing the suggestion the fork fit might be a result of it.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    Weihrauch (old and new) has a lot of duds out there.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    I've also seen where the fixed chisel detent is brazed in rotated and the breech sits up on the high corner.

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    I guess it's possible to damage the forks by triggering off but that's a low powered gun and I've seen a few higher power guns triggered off that broke and bent everywhere else but there. Some of Weihrauch's fork plug installations are less than elegant. Internally they can be down right ugly...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    The forks are machined separate and then brazed into the comp tube. What you see there is the normal seam between the two parts.

    HW/Weihrauch Hw30/Olympia Hobby pellet test.

    I shot the olympia through the R8 today and they did very well. I broke out my jewelry scale and weighed 50 of them and did the math. My suspicions were correct. They weigh an average of 8.49 grains. Not 7.87 as PA advertises them. That puts them at 8.06 fpe out of my 30 which is more in line...

    HW/Weihrauch HW50 , the challenge continues

    The droop is a non issue with both sights on the barrel. I'm pretty sure the adjustment screw is wrong. It looks too tall. Probably from a later sight. Stack washers between the adjustment screw and sight leaf until it works right. You might have a problem with the adjustment screw obscuring the...

    N/A Will a gas piston trash a scope like a springer?

    You're either very lucky or you don't shoot much. All the airguns I have is Weihrauchs and I've gone through several decent quality scopes that would have lasted forever on powder burners. Now they have Hawke Vantage/Airmax or Sightrons. My R1 spun an Airmax reticle a few months ago and my 77...
