    Thomas Air Damaged skirts, does it really matter?

    Recently I purchased several scratch and dent tins at the Midwest Airgun Show. I sorted several tins and set aside all the pellets with dented skirts. These were from JSB Monster Redesign “Shallows”. As you can see they are pretty beat up. I took these to the range and shot them at 50Y...

    Results Meeker Sportsman Club (Marion, OH) N50 results 6-17-25

    We had 13 people turn out today for our N50 match. It was raining on and off during both matches and the usual switchy winds that Meeker is known for did not disappoint. Scores reflected the conditions. All complaining aside I think we had a great time. Match #1: Match #2...

    N/A Mora & Taipan 2?

    Is the cocking effort on the Mora less than a Prophet 1? Is it comparable to a Vet 2?

    Spanish vs US made .22 CPHPs

    Picked up a tin of the Spanish made CPHPs at WallyWorld today. I use these in my Vixen compact, tuned down to 580, primarily for pigeon hunting. My zero is set at 25yds. Opened the new tin and immediately noticed the pellets are more dinged up so my first thought is the lead might be softer than...

    Athlon Chrongraph, is flawed if shooting with others

    A buddy loaned me his new Athlon crony last Saturday and I used it for one card in our N50 match. It picked up my shots AND the shots of the next bench to my left. I was going to buy one until I used his. Its useless in a match situation. It might be fine for a single shooter but totally useless...

    Results Meeker's 3rd N50 Match results

    Decent conditions today but the usual switchy winds that Meeker is known for showed up just in time to NOT disappoint with12-15 MPH and 24 MPH gusts. We had 30 shooters today with quite a few new faces that joined us. I can't upload scores to the National 50 website due to a few bugs. As soon...

    RAW Rapid RAW’s crazy regulator

    I was out shooting my RAW HM1000X LRT today practicing in some crazy 100Y wind conditions. I decided to run a shot string over my crono and was amazed how consistently this reg performed. CRAZY? Yep, Crazy good that is! My hats off to you Texan guys building some great guns! RAW, Blue .30 AEA...

    Barrel length and FPS?s

    I was under the assumption that a longer barrel yielded more FPS. I swapped out my .22 standard Vet barrel for a Vet long barrel which is 3.5” longer. I crono’d the standard barrel at 870 FPS with a 22 grain pellet. Then replaced the standard with a long barrel and shot the same pellet, at the...

    Thanks to all who came out and enjoyed some nice weather at the Meeker Sportsman Club today for our 2nd N50 match of the season. We had several shooters post perfect 250 scores in the rare and unusually calm wind conditions. Some guy, might have posted three 250's today but somehow he forgot to...

    PCP Rifle Taipan Veteran 2 700LR .22, like new

    SOLD .... Selling my Taipan Veteran 2 700LR .22 rifle that is virtually brand new. Purchased it a couple months ago from Talon Airguns and had Tony tune it to shoot .22 25.4 MRDs and boy howdy does it. It even shoots JSB 28 grain Grands even better. Comes with a seal kit, 2 mags (never used)...

    Results Meeker's first N50 match of 2025

    Thank you to all who came out to face some extremely challenging wind conditions today. It was probably the worst wind that I have shot in at a match so far. We still had a few decent scores but also had more than our fair share of confusing ... what the heck ... head scratching moments??? None...

    Not cherry picking a single unicorn target

    Took my Thomas HPX to the range today to check my zero before tomorrow’s N50 match. The weather forecast for tomorrow is going to be pretty windy so I wanted to zero a heavier pellet. I normally shoot 25.4 MRDs but when it’s windy sometimes I opt for heavier 28 grain Grands. Is shot a few...

    Events Disappointed having had to cancel an N50 match

    Sadly, we had to cancel our first N50 match of our outdoor season, at the Meeker Sportsman Club, in Marion, OH. We have had a LOT of rain all week. I drove to the club this morning at 8:30 and this is what I found. The long lane, going back to our range, had disappeared under 10” of water...

    Taipan New Taipan Vet 2, .22, long

    Picked up a Vet 2 long in .22 from Tony at Talon Airguns. I asked for it to be tuned for MRDs and that’s how it arrived. Since Tony is in FL and I am in the Midwest I expected the numbers to be a bit different so I ran it over a crono after I cleaned the barrel. JSB 25.4gr Shot count: 30 Low...

    Good image quality video recorder?

    I’m starting to research what is a good image quality through the scope recording system. I’ve never owned one but would like to buy something to record and post hunting / pesting videos on YouTube. Most of our hunting is inside of dimly lit barns. Those of you who have been down this path, what...
