I have noticed over the last few months that my Air Arms HFT 500 leaks sorta. The air tube is a 300cc tube from air Venturi and I have a Lane regulator inside the tube. So the gauge on the bottom of the gun only reads regulator pressure. On the front of the tube the Air Arms Fill adapter has...

I am happy to announce I am adding a bench rest option to the West Liberty Gun Club airgun range. Not exactly sure how long it will be. But It will be something like 75 to 100 yards deep and about 10 feet wide. I only have one bench at this point so it is really a practice and sight in lane...

I have a TX200 mkIII. I bought in 2010. I used it for six years and would shoot 2-3 hundred pellets a day sometimes. Then in 2016 I moved and it sat. I shot it a couple times in 2018 but not much. Now I have my own field target range and got the old TX out for a shoot. Even with the wrong...

I am building a field target corse at the local gun range. It will be open to the public next week. I started to lay out the lanes and the area has a nice small grove perfectly suited to field target. It’s about 40 yards wide 70+ yards deep. To go wider is a little more work . Here is the...

I have gotten a lot of fun and enjoyment from my BB guns over the winter. Shooting in the shop has gotten me through the long cold of Iowa. I am also having a blast with restoring old Daisy BB guns. There are so many of them and parts are easy to find. So now that I’m going outside I won’t be...

I have been shooting for a very long time and shooting seriously since 2008. I was blessed with a 25 yard indoor shooting range year round and if I opened the big door a full 70 yards to my fence. There was a house on one side and garage on the other with mature trees. Even though I shot 100-300...
