    N/A Barrel Droop

    Put barrel in the crook of a tree and bend it a bit. Don't get too overzealous bending it upwards, bending it back down is difficult if you go too far. Others have made jigs that basically do the same thing in a vice.

    HW/Weihrauch Wanting to purchase a Weihrauch springer but concerned about droop

    Droop isn't a big deal with a break barrel. Mount your scope, center the adjustments, and bend the barrel up til it hits near center. The last 2 HW50s I got from Airguns of Arizona had a lot of visible droop before even mounting the scope. Only a few seconds to fix.

    Indoor Target Backstop?

    I set the pellet trap in front of an old worn out archery broadhead target in the kitchen when shooting pistols. With rifles, I make sure the trap is up off the floor, but dont usually bother with the backstop. The cabinet behind it is one that I made (where dishwasher used to be), and just...

    How Did You Get Started - Tell Your Story!

    First BB gun was daisy pal in 4rth grade. Got a 10 pumper a year later, and followed with another every couple years when they wore out. Stopped with airguns when I hit 18. The house I bought in 2000 had space to shoot powderburners until houses got built around me. A few years back, my wife...

    Other Break Barrel VS. Underlever

    I think the average better accuracy of underlevers comes from the TX200 and HW97 having more weight and modest power output. As long as there is no lockup issues with a breakbarrel, it should be just as accurate, but less weight means more recoil. I only had one RWS48, but even after a tune...

    So Damn Hot!!

    It was almost cold here in Fort Worth yesterday. 80 degrees had me closing up my jacket on the ride in to work at 4 am. Got rained on a bit on the ride home. Headed out for a couple hour mountain bike ride since it was only 92 after getting home from work.

    Crosman Crosman 1377 pellet choice question

    Normally they like Crosman 7.9 premiers, but those seem to have gone away. The next I would try, are H+N ftt and JSB Exact 8.4. Is this a new or old 1377? Crosman barrels used to be pretty accurate, but sometimes respond good to a redneck recrown.

    Beeman How to tell if a springer needs tuning?

    Shoot it, does it buzz or twang more than you think it should? Issues with seals will show an extreme spread of velocities on the chronograph. Can't go by velocity alone, the previous owner may have tuned it with a 12 ft lb kit.

    New to HFT and looking for advice on Pellets

    13 to 14 grain pellets are going to be your best choice. Those, at 20 ft lb, have about the same trajectory as the 12 ft lb wftf shooters with .177. If you stick with the game, you will be in search of a .177 rifle sooner than later.
