    HW/Weihrauch New to PCP

    With the Weihrauch HW100 you've made a great choice for your first PCP! I have had a pair of them (.177 & .22) for many years. The 200 bar cylinder is reasonable to hand pump and you'll get 30-35 shots on a fill as 30ish fpe. I'd recommend cleaning the barrel, checking the hardware (normal...

    HW/Weihrauch Williams sights - FP-GR fit issue

    Thanks for this post! With the winter indoor shooting season rapidly approaching I'm considering getting a Williams peep for my Weihrauch HW30. Obviously there needs to be some careful research before making a purchase. Cheers!

    Other Looking for a premium PCP - what are the top-tier brands now?

    I'm very fond of my (5) Weihrauch airguns, I've had a pair of the HW100 PCPs (.177 & .22) that have preformed very well over the years. The HW100 is well designed, well made, accurate and reliable. Wood, steel and aluminum construction in a traditional format. IMHO, the magazine system is...

    FX FX Leopard Review (Video) The Best FX yet?

    I'm waiting (impatiently) for a .22 Sniper with the bottle. ETA mid October.

    Biodegradable targets...

    LOL! That's a real attitude you know! 😁 ...I'm busy spending my kids inheritance 🙂

    Biodegradable targets...

    Yup, hundreds (thousands?) of crab apples in the trees here! I impale them on the paperclips and let them swing... for a short time anyways 😁

    Biodegradable targets...

    I'm concerned about free-lead in my environment as well. The Honeycomb is suspended in front of my main backstop and all of my spinners/ target butts have their own backstop that I reclaim the lead from. Works for me 🙂

    Biodegradable targets...

    What biodegradable targets do you shoot at? As a plinker I get bored with paper targets very quickly and prefer something a bit more challenging for off-hand shooting. For years I've been using breakfast cereal as a convenient, reactive and biodegradable target. Honeycomb explodes nicely...

    FX Fx crown mkll project

    I love my .22 caliber Crown MK2 just as it (mechanically) came from the factory. I did add a cap to the grip to suit my large hands a bit better 🙂 I've turned it to 15.89 grain JSBs and it's my go-to general shooting, plinking, pesting and hunting PCP.

    Weather station for the range...

    Can understand the benefits of displaying wind direction. In my case, because of the topography, if there's a wind it's usually swirling anyway. I have windicators every 5 yards for that reason.

    Weather station for the range...

    Lots of wind flags on the range - home made from flagging tape, bead chain and coat hanger. The display I can see from my easy chair 😉

    Weather station for the range...

    The unit displays current wind speed (9 mph right now, the digital readout lags behind the graph by a couple of seconds) in real-time, highest speed over the last hour (14) and over the last 24 hours (20). Temperatures and humidity are displayed. Units of measure are user configurable. Cheers!

    Weather station for the range...

    I've found that a small weather station is a convenient accessory for the shooting range. I'm fortunate to have a shooting range in the backyard. Being retired, I shoot whenever the mood strikes me but when testing and tuning I prefer calm conditions. Watching for a calm period required me to...

    Tuning Ft/lb vs pellet weight

    There's a formula (and multiple on-line calculators) that will give you the ft/lb (FPE) of a weight (projectile) traveling at a specific speed. This is often referred to as the Muzzle Energy. https://www.pyramydair.com/widgets/

    Other Beginner 10m Air Pistol Men

    You sound to be very serious about getting into competitive 10 meter pistol shooting. A top quality 10 meter pistol is not cheap but (IMHO) they are very reasonably priced considering that you can get an Olympic quality pistol for around $2,000. If you have never shot a quality 10 meter...

    Pellets for a display

    Living on 10 acres by a large beaver pond in a rural area means that "aggressive work" on raccoon sized critters is not a problem 😉

    Pellets for a display

    I to am impressed with the JSB Hades, they shoot well in a number of my airguns. For pesting and hunting duties I have my Crown and DRS tuned to the 15.89 gn Hades and my Impact to the 25.39 gn Hades Monster.
