    Too much reg, or not enough hammer tension or weight?

    Yea didn't think of using a caliper to measure the distance of the slider bar thing. I watch videos and I see ppl max it out till it doesnt cock or cant turn the hammer wheel. So that was what I did. Guess my hammer tension was too much. Will back off and use a caliper to measure it this time.

    Too much reg, or not enough hammer tension or weight?

    Ok guys. My gun is the impact mk2 .25 cal. It have a slug power kit kit and 72 cc ppl installed. Front valve is past the 4th line so its fully open. I use the hex key to turn the screw next to the power wheel until the wheel can not turn anymore, so I know I'm max out. Then I back off a turn so...

    30 cal crush all other calibers???

    I know Ted won in the bench rest years ago with his .25 cal. And I've seen his .25 cal in action. It is no where near as accurate as his 30 cal. His .30 cal is his bench mark for all new and old gun he test cause he said it is just so accurate none will come close.

    30 cal crush all other calibers???

    I hunt rabbits, squirrels, birds etc. Most animals I hunt are scared of human. So they see you they run away or fly away. So I like to take very long shots like over 100 yards to 200 yards. I'm not a paper shooter or bench rest. I shoot groups on paper to know if my gun can hit same spot over...

    30 cal crush all other calibers???

    I got into airgun watching Ted video 10 plus years ago. Ted have always said, the best caliber in terms of weight, size, accuracy, buffing the wind, etc, was the .25 cal. How much he talks so highly of the .25 cal. That is why most of my guns are .25 cals. I own a few .22 too. But never 30 or 35...

    Pump explosion.

    I've used expensive hills hand pump to cheap $40 Chinese pumps for about 5 years till I switch to compressor and I have never have a problem with a hand pump explosion. Or have heard of anyone having that issue. Not sure why your pump would explode. Compressor aren't $3000-5000 like they were a...

    Slug A or superior heavy??? For slug only

    Idk but Matt and those south Africa guys tested slugs and pellets in windy conditions and at 100 yards the pellets won't even hit the target and they give up on pellets, while the slug was making contact each time. So to me slugs seem to be superior thats why I am switching to slugs. If using...

    Hello to all

    Welcome. My advice is, stick to co2. If you want to upgrade, I say go with break barrel. You do not wanna fall into the dark side of pcp. Your wife will leave you, your bank account will be 0, you will be homeless like the rest of us. So stick to c02 and break barrels.
