    Coyote #9 - finally

    It’s a coyote. If he was trying to hit it with a golf ball and a driver off a tee I would applaud him. Game animal? Different story.

    Coyote #9 - finally

    No need for apologies or explanations Max, you picked a good animal for testing your predator skills and equipment. If coyotes had a natural predator, their deaths would be far more gruesome on a widespread basis. Those things get wounded by the thousands by powder burners too. A powder burner...

    Do .177 Pellets Ricochet Off Metal Targets

    A 7.3 or an 8.4 won’t. But your jumbo .177 will.

    Wood stock DRS

    If the plastic is any lighter than my walnut DRS, you could use the gun for a wind flag. I would not want this gun in .25 and be shooting heavy projectiles. It would be jumpy. With most of us being so used to PCP’s suffering from obesity, the DRS is an eye opener. Quite wonderful.

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    At my hunting camp now and sitting here in the dark across the street waiting on some creatures that have taken up residence under my camp. Shot the DRS more this evening. It’s a really nice gun. Hope the first shot thing irons itself out soon. I shot it without a mod because that’s how I’d like...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    Just a little update because there is another topic going on about slow first shots. My gun came set 2% below the plateau. I am not going to poke my reg with a stick by playing with it. I’m just going to continue shooting it and see if things improve with my first shot. Right now my DRS is...

    FX FX DRS with low velocity first shot! What should I check?

    It certainly is. I just shot four shots out of it again today, 837, 853, 859, then 864. Pulled the Zbroia out of the safe because it’s the gun the DRS is competing with for a slot in the safe. The Zbroia has been sitting 6 months, 856, 855, 862, 862. Of the seven other brands of guns I own, no...

    FX FX DRS with low velocity first shot! What should I check?

    I have a 500mm .22. I am shooting 18gr 865 ish and 16gr 920 ish. I shot a cold shot this morning with the 18gr because their velocity is more consistent than a Hades. Not because of the gun. It’s because a Hades doesn’t have as consistent head size like their domed brethren. First shot was...

    FX FX DRS with low velocity first shot! What should I check?

    Update. It’s more accurate at 2% but slightly more active. But I’m going to stay at 2% for now. Will check first shot in the morning.

    FX FX DRS with low velocity first shot! What should I check?

    I just checked my DRS. They have it tuned 2% below the plateau. I moved it to 3%. I will check my first shot velocity over the next few days. If there’s an issue, I’ll move it back to 2% and see if it continues.

    That’s funny. The look on someone’s face when they open the upgraded trigger box only to find 3 grub screws would be priceless. Can’t stop laughing.

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    Well this is when it pays to have a FX you don’t shoot much. Took the part out of my Dreamtac Compact trigger and put it in the DRS. Back in business. But……..here’s something interesting. In the picture you can see all the trigger pins have a grub screw in them on my Dreamtac. That’s so the pins...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    I was sighting in after a barrel cleansing and my trigger dropped down so I just pulled it out of the gun. The trigger wheel that doesn’t have much tread engagement broke. Hopefully UA will have one. Looks like I’m done for a while. I did get a couple mags out of it. Nice little gun. True...

    FX Anyone got there FX DRS in yet??

    I just took my DRS out of the shipping box. Found the fill probe in the box and it felt a little rough. I haven’t even filled my gun yet and it’s already getting chewed up. They better offer a stainless one under warranty before they catch a lawsuit when someone’s quick disconnect smacks them in...

    FX FX DRS with low velocity first shot! What should I check?

    Things are already not off to a great start with my DRS purchase. Decided to have it shipped to work so I wouldn’t have to take a day off to sign for it. We closed almost 3 hours ago and here I sit waiting for it. This thing better be worth it and not a pill.

    RTI Just me? RTI Prophet II & cycling

    You are dealing with a RPB barrel. Chambering a pellet or slug can have some notchy resistance. These guns are made well enough that you don’t have to handle them with kid gloves. Close the cocking lever like you mean it. You are wrecking the insides of your gun firing it with the cocking lever...

    FX FX DRS with low velocity first shot! What should I check?

    I seriously doubt that anyone who’s selling these guns finds the plateau then backs it down 3-5. If it had fun knobs, maybe. So as the new owner it’s time to pull it out of the stock and find the plateau speed. Then see where the factory had it set. If they had it set a 4-5% below, there is hope...

    Slug accuracy thoughts

    This is common also. Guys just don’t talk about it. It seems a lot of guys would rather try to buffalo the masses into believing they have a MOA all day every day gun. Most don’t.

    Why Such Explosive Damage?

    It just depends on where the rupture first occurs that determines how the parts fly. You probably aren’t getting much more expansion on a small bird than you would get shooting at a wet ball of cotton. But as that large projectile for the mass off the animal enters the body and cavitation...
