    30-Yard Challenge

    196-14x would be a great “30y” Challenge card, but achieving that score with a “40y Masters” card is really tough. My knees would be knocking with excitement as I think about you shooting the card. Nice job Ed!

    30-Yard Challenge

    I forgot my new Heras, which was on the RAW HM1000X .22 back home, and in my safe. Yes, definitely hurt me today not having it. Thanks Ed.

    30-Yard Challenge

    That's a great card Rick. Motorhead ( Scott ) once told me when he was tuning my Daystate Regal XL .22 --- "Faster isn't always better." I was fairly new to Airguns at the time, and was drinking all the Kool-Aid about higher velocity and the relative correlation to improving accuracy...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Shot my HW100 .22 Carbine today. Shot six cards at 30 yards and threw one in the trash. Overall, very solid shooting with the 30Y Challenge card with a slight wind @ 1-3 mph, and still at times. Although it was slight, I still missed some wind calls or had a rare bad pellet possibly. I did...

    RAW TM1000x .177 moderators

    Paul - it will be good to stay in touch and compare notes as we are both trying out new moderators, pellets, tunes, etc. Since I’m only shooting this at my local outdoor range, noise doesn’t matter. Martin still has mine and it should be ready in a week or two.

    Daystate Daystate Revere or Weihrauch HW100 for field target.

    Hmmmm. Until you mentioned the forward cocking issue, I never noticed it on my HW100 .22 Carbine. Way too many good features on that platform to let that deter you. AOA has em’ in .177 and .22! 😀 😀

    Your persistence paid off Bill. Post some pics of the new Royale when you receive it. This will hopefully become one of your favorite air rifles. 😄

    I dealt with “Scout” at Impulse Air and we had a good discussion on their testing, and the rifles they used to test with their moderators. I ordered the blue IA-1200 .22 caliber moderator yesterday. Tom

    .30 Skout @100Y

    Hey Mike - You're on the dance floor! I just saw this today and could not be happier for you! All I can say is wow, great shooting!! I vividly recall all of our PMs, many phone conversations and discussions around bench rest. You wanted this badly and practiced a lot, and this is the...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Last day of shooting targets for this week, heading out of town. Shot two 30Y Masters cards and three 40Y cards; 2 of those 40Y cards were challenge cards and one Masters. The Masters needs an explanation. I forgot I was shooting a 40Y Masters and accidentally crossed out two pairs of bulls...

    RAW TM1000x .177 moderators

    Thanks Paul, see my PM. I guess I was a little ‘gun shy’ after having issues with the 16.2g JSB, and I was curious as to what folks are doing. This RAW and the .177 caliber are brand new to me so I am in learning mode.

    30-Yard Challenge

    Anytime you have to throw away ‘Four Nine’s’ means you are shooting well. I can’t help wondering if the velocity was lower on the Wolverine, would that help/hinder your scoring. Ed, My leaderboard submissions are all up to date for May, if I don’t get out this week.

    Thanks Zack. Music to my ears, because not all moderators are equal. I have a call into “Scout” at Impulse Air now. Subscriber - Thanks for the explanation of how they work.

    RAW TM1000x .177 moderators

    Dan I normally do buy a moderator one caliber higher than my rifle, for the reasons you mentioned. The Weihrauch moderator on my HW100 .22 Carbine works ver well. Tx…Tom

    RAW TM1000x .177 moderators

    Just bought one of these and will be using for Benchrest target shooting at primarily 30-50 yards. Gun is in the process of being tuned for JSB 13.4 g .177 pellet at around 810 FPS. My request - what brand(s) moderators has anyone used that enhance accuracy for the TM1000x based on your...

    Ha ha - I see a ‘pool shark’ just stepped inside the pool hall. I can tell by your rigs and guns this wasn’t your first rodeo.

    30-Yard Challenge

    Greg, Phenomenal, especially for your ‘first ever’ 30Y target! Also, 34 yards and 15X’s. Very impressive. Great shooting and we look forward to seeing more from that Vulcan.
