    Daystate Black wolf: I'm not lazy, but...

    Yeah, the fpe with the tested pellets was 31+. I definitely don't need that kind of power since I really just want to punch paper accurately at 30 or 40 yards...

    Daystate Black wolf: I'm not lazy, but...

    Thanks! I didn't think about slugs, but I have a few I could try, but not the one mentioned. The others you mentioned I have on my short list. I was hoping it would like the JTS 10.4 or the JSB 10.3's. Cheers! I will report later after some testing.

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Both of these stocks are amazing! If these rifles shoot even half as good as they look...

    You know you are an Airgunner when...

    And you have enough bubble wrap to last more than two life times...from those same boxes ;-)

    You know you are an Airgunner when...

    You view each cardboard box in terms of "will that be easily cut into the appropriate size for my target boxes?". I mean, sometimes, it is obvious but other times you have to get out the measuring tape. And most of the boxes are delivered from airgun related purchases ;-).

    Daystate Black wolf: I'm not lazy, but...

    I just received my Black Wolf. .177 with 18 inch barrel, walnut stock. First "brand new" PCP. Have an awesome Red Wolf HP, amongst other used (equally awesome) rifles. Test fired a few times, seems to function well, a bit loud so will put my larger 0db moderator on it. I didn't have high enough...

    The range

    I have 10 X 8 silhouette targets balanced on 4x4's, cut to fit and tied down. I place them from 25 to 50 yards in the back yard. I'll often see how accurate I am by going through them all with one or two springers. I keep track of my misses. Often just one or two misses, most on the longer...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Only had a short period of time, so took out one of my best, .177 HW 30 with a CS stock:

    FWB FWB 300S Mini- how to increase stock length of pull

    Not a stock builder, but I am a woodworker. Perhaps make a template out of 1/4-3/8 inch stock to match the end of the stock, or better yet, the aluminum mount (as @marflow 777 mentions, it is not flush). Use a template router bit to cut out an endgrain 1" piece. You may want (or need) to leave a...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    Beautiful day but too windy for precision. Seemed like a good choice would be my .22 springers, AA Prosport and HW 35e. Both were great despite the wind. Knocked all my chickens, turkeys, pigs, and rams silly ;-)

    30-Yard Challenge

    Thanks, Ed. I don’t have the skill to tune a PCP to do what yours do. So I compensate by choosing guns that, at least theoretically, should shoot straight out of the box. And don’t require complete disassembly to change a hammer spring. That is intimidating. I give you due credit. If it’s any...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Stormy all day, but once the storms passed the wind laid down and I had time for one card. Shot my FX 500 Royale. I have a simple single shot tray on order, that might get me another point or two. 197 12X (wrote 11X but crossed out the wrong one). And to top it off AoA called me and said my .177...

    What springer did you shoot today?

    A nice, warm day with some time to shoot...unfortunately very windy. Despite the wind, pellet tested my new FWB 300 at 30 yds. At least narrowed down my choices to 3. Not as smooth or as accurate as my FWB 150, I expected it to be *twice* as good all around ;-). Still an excellent rifle, the...

    30-Yard Challenge

    It's been too windy for any precision shooting (with my skills). I did get a new-to-me rifle that I was dying to shoot. A beautiful FX 500 Royale. Took awhile to sort out high enough scope rings to clear the mag. Despite wind gusts to 20+, sighted it in and shot a couple cards with my only two...

    Other Air Pistol Recommendations

    It's a great pistol. Very accurate with a great trigger. It doesn't come with a rear sight. Many use a red dot or pistol scope to take advantage of that accuracy. I bought mine thinking that it would scratch my itch for a true 10 meter target pistol. I didn't, therefore the others in the photo...
