Easy question. I inherited a few thousand Norma 9.1 grain pellets and am wondering if they are on the high end of what my Beeman R7 can safely handle. I don’t want to over-work or strain it’s power plant. Thanks, Tom

I want to begin shooting benchrest and nee to purchase wind flags. What flags would you recommend for a “green as the grass “ novice? I live in Phoenix where the wind is always blowing. Do some styles lend themselves better (easier to read) to beginners than others, I.e. double vein vs single...

I am beginning to shoot HFT and have a few very basic questions about the effect of wind on pellets. Do pellets react to wind direction the same as, let’s say, a .22 rimfire bullet or do they act differently due to their shape? I understand that the best way to evaluate the effect of wind is...

I’m going to buy a Daystate Revere for informal backyard target practice (primarily offhand ) and field target competition. I’m new to the world of PCPs. My frame of reference is a Beeman R7 and FWB 300s. A post on one of the other subject areas “Daystate Revere Consistency” has me wondering...

I have a friend who has a FWB 300 that he is selling and does not know a fair price to charge me for it. I believe it is the base model, i.e, the comb is not adjustable. It is in relatively good condition, considering its age. The wood does not have any cracks, large pressure marks, or...

Am looking to buy my first PCP to shoot HFT and, if possible, try benchrest. I understand that dual purpose guns are a compromise at best, but would be interested in seeing what might be available. .177 predominates in HFT, is it suitable for benchrest or is .22 preferable?Or am I better off...

I’m an experienced powder burner shooter, but have a few “very basic “ questions about my HW30. 1. Is there a safe way to uncock the rifle or is loading a pellet and discharging it the only/best way? 2. Is cocking the rifle the easiest way to get access to clean the barrel from the breach? This...

I’m new to air rifles and recently purchased an HW77 from Krale and would like to begin shooting Hunter Field Target and have 3 questions. 1. How many fpe is the stock spring generating? If in the future, I decided to detune it to 12 fpe. How much of a difference would it make in shootability...
