    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Guys, Tried something a bit different today. Tommy and Ed knew this was coming - I shot a 30yd Challenge Card from the Field Target (Hunter Class) position to see what I could do. I am including a picture (below) of me in the shooting position. We are allowed to use shooting sticks and a...

    FX Crown Match Trigger install, first impressions

    Hi, I bought the Match Trigger from Huma a couple of years ago with the intent of installing in my Crown Mk II. The lack of instructions and anyone who seemed to know how to tune it put me off - so thank you for pointing out the video and taking a dive into this. I do have two questions...

    The Tipping Point

    Hi, I have the CF barrel tube so I can fill to 250bar. With that, at my current tune, I am getting around 90 shots before falling off the regulator. I have the reg set at 110 bar. This has been one of the areas I have spent a lot of time working on. The DRS is really intended for higher...

    The Tipping Point

    Hi Cavedweller, Being an old guy with a metal knee and hip I cannot get down to kneel for the forced position lanes. So I shoot those offhand - my most significant weakness. So I also have been looking into a lighter rig to see if it will help me shoot those lanes better. My regular...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Congratrs! It is an awesome feeling when you shoot that last bull and you see it strike the 10 or x, knowing that gives you the ever elusive 200. It is also a testiment to your determination and competativeness that you have stuck to it and achieved the result. I wish I could say that it...

    FX cant get velocity from FX Crown

    Hi, An interesting string of comments set off by your question. But to really help you out it would be extremely useful for you to tell us something about your rifle and what pellets you are looking to shoot at what range. There is an extensive knowledge base on Crowns in this forum as many...

    FX Crown hammer weight question

    Hi bchannell, Depending on the original caliber and barrel length, your new Crown Mk II could have come with two different hammer systems. The difference is in the spring carrier and whether or not an additional hammer weight was included. Be aware that the stock hammer (Part # 19039...

    FX FX Crown Accuracy Issue ?

    Hi Bobbybeef, My experience with several Crowns has been that you need to tighten up the Liner nut (part 11 in the figure below) pretty much as tight as you can get it. I believe the folks above talking about "Liner Nuts" needing to be barely tight are not referring to the Superlight Barrel...

    Optics Athlon Heras SPR 6-24x56 FFP Mil

    Athlon Heras SPR 6-24x56 FFP APRS9 reticle, FFP, IR, Mil less than 1 yr old in excellent condition. Selling because I wanted this for my backup Hunter Class FT rifle. After several tries in matches have decided that I would be happier with the SFP, MOA version of this scope. This scope is...

    Help selecting PCP HFT rifle

    Sorry for the confusion. If you are only buying one rifle and FT is just one of several things you want to do with it (pesting, hunting, etc) then maybe a .22 is better. If FT is the most important and the other things are not as important, then get a .177. I have two.177 rifles (a primary...

    Help selecting PCP HFT rifle

    Hi, My 2 cents - use a .22 for HFT if it is going to be your only air rifle and you want to do pesting or hunting with it also. If you are shooting American Field Target (Hunter Class) you are limited to 20 FPE. Typically, folks use AA or JSB 13.4 gr .22 pellets shooting them around 820 fps...

    FX FX DRS In .177

    Hi Again, I did not mean to scare you off the rifle. I think you will find any .177 (short of the $5K Thomas or the nearly as costly Air Arms XTI ) has a tough time at 50 yds. The pellets are so small that any wind plays hell with the pellet stability as they are so short. The FX DRS at...

    FX FX DRS In .177

    Hi Footloose, I have spent a lot of time with my .177 DRS Classic in 500mm. I am trying to get it to the point where it can be my backup FT (Hunter Class) rifle. I am looking to shott 13.4 gr pellets as I have had a lot of luck with the FX and JSB original monsters with the same pellet...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hi Dale, If you get a chance to read some of my older posts, you will see that I make the argument that sorting pellets really doesn't make much difference. I did some extensive testing of several .177, .22, and 25 pellets in several different riffles and really didn't find any case where...

    FX .22 FX Impact Micro Adjust

    Hi, It appears that you have the Spring Carrier as far forward as it will go. That means you are compressing the spring the maximum amount. This certainly limits your range of adjustments using the features of the rifle. It is likely that you are getting close to not being able to cock the...
