I've got the .177 HW95 with the long barrel and barrel weight I get 7mm or 8mm groups at 20 yards using shooting sticks I've shot wood pigeon at 30, 35, and 40 yards using tree branches for support 50 yards hunting? I wouldn't even attempt it with a springer

I specifically bought a chronograph with rows of infra red transmitters and receivers - they are not light sensitive in any way Its time all the chronograph manufacturers ditched the light sensitive sensors - if people stop buying the old type, the manufacturers will re-design to IR

I think filling to 4100 PSI will put a lot less strain on your compressor - I have seen posts by people who don't even try to fill to the full 4500 PSI for fear of breaking their Chinese compressor - apparently they could hear the compressor start to struggle

Just found a seller selling ones like mine for $34.75 shipped to USA - cheaper than I paid for mine aliexpress .com/item/Muzzle-velocity-tester-valence-e9800-X3200/32810999374.html Anyway if you search AliExpress for "e9800 X3200" you'll see lots of different types

They have an internal re-chargeable lithium battery - may get USB charger cable, or a charger - depends on the store you buy from Usually come with a mini-tripod Front view:

You only need the velocity - free download software Hawke chairgun pro lets you select pellet make and type and automatically gives the energy after you enter the velocity into the software I use a cheap shoot-through velocity only chronograph I got from AliExpress for equivalent of about $42...

I agree - domed are widely available Last week here in Britain/UK I came across a couple of tins of .177 air rifle pellets - Remington STRIKE (point) - that's what it says on the tin lid, and even a picture of pointed pellets - but the pellets inside the tin are domes

Eyoyo gets good reviews and is inexpensive - available Amazon, eBay, AliExpress etc. Most of the various brands of twin lens units are OK - avoid the single lens units though

That's the type I looked at in various formats - a V-Twin type compressor I narrowed my search down to a DAVV which was about the same size as Yong Heng and with a carrying handle, but lack of feedback on who actually makes them, and how reliable they are, getting spare parts, etc. put me off -...
