    Exactly how many is too many

    In the vintage bicycle world, the answer is always n+1 where n equals your current number of bikes. Unless it will cause irreparable harm to your marriage, in which case the formula is s-1 where s equals spouse. Mike

    A couple of generic questions about Dot sights...

    The NRA recognized Bullseye shooters were getting old and have a hard time seeing three planes of the sight picture so they allowed red dots. It doesn’t make you a better shooter as such, it just allows old eyes to continue to compete. there is a difference between a red dot and a holograph...

    Field Target is an arms race.

    PowderBurnt mentioned a class built around a particular rifle, like 10m. It is a pretty good analogy but there is mission creep there, too. I started with a recoil less rifle ( FWB 300s), then came SSP and a FWB 602. And finally, at least for now, PCP (FWB 700). There are an infinite amount...

    .30 Cal for 25m BR

    After 43 winters in extreme winter, She Who Must Be Obeyed now insists we spend the winter months in warmer climes. So we now are in Arizona for the winter. RAW and Daystate seem to be popular brands and now it is apparent why most folks shoot .177 or .22. Thanks for the insights. I will...

    .30 Cal for 25m BR

    That seems to be my sense from watching what folks bring to the line. I am not yet familiar with the rules but there is no sense in getting a .30 cal if it is not an approved cal. I am not shooting 100 yards at all. Thanks. Mike

    .30 Cal for 25m BR

    I am new to Airgun BR. I have dabbled with .22 cal with a springer but I am ready to move to PCP. We shoot 25m targets and chicken silhouettes at 40, 50, 60, and 70 yards. Most folks use .177 or .22. A local is offering a HM1000x for a reasonable price in .30. The price interests me more...

    Why is the 5th shot so hard???

    It is mental. 20 shot sessions will make the 5th shot ordinary, but the same problem will occur for the 20th shot. There is no easy answer. Lanny Basham got to the Gold medal round in the Olympics and fell apart because he was not prepared mentally to be on that stage. He spent the next 4...

    Northwest Pennsylvania-where to fill a tank

    I used to live in Erie during the Eisenhower Administration, but now live just under the Arctic Circle. I went through the same search for an air source and received similar helpful suggestions regarding fire houses and welding shops. Welding and dive shops here could not fill to 4500PSI. ...

    Vogel Pellets

    I have been buying them from CMP. Very happy with the pellets in a Steyr LP10 and FWB 602 at 10M and the CMP shipping is more than fair. Mike

    Brand New HW35e Stainless

    Motorhead, what is the rear sight on the top rifle? Mike

    What optics / mounts are on top of your HW35e?

    I had a set up similar to the first Deerstalker set up, but wanted to use open sights. I now have a Williams peep sight on it. It did require getting a longer elevation screw from Williams, but it works great now. And it is simple to remove if I want to reinstall the glass, I am shooting 10M...

    Guns you'd like to own, but haven't found or had the chance to buy

    General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger. You can hardly find them without buying the whole airframe. Mike

    Tuning Williams FP-AG-TK and HW35s

    I received the longer elevation screw from Williams. It works. What a nice solution. Now I don't need to shorten front sights and the factory set up remains intact. Mike

    Back stop designs

    I use the Outers 22 bullet trap indoors like nced. I tried using duct seal to make it quiet, but it tended to sag and fall off after awhile. I like the idea of trying old carpet or mudflaps as suggested by odoyle. I think that might just work in the bullet trap. Mike
