I am looking for a new scope and side wheel combination for field target. I really want a removable side wheel. JD custom is what I have now. It is great. But I’m shopping around while they are restocking inventory. I just discovered that the coma side wheels come in two directions. If the...

I have started a club and a field target range. I am now the Match Director and make up all the rules. This is a big responsibility and I am very serious about safety. At the first match everyone was fine and all were gun club members. But they did not have a protocol about holding rifles. I...

Ever have a day without problems? I have but generally I fix one thing then begin to work on another till time runs out. Today I had a couple hours to go to the range and make sure everything is ready for tomorrow’s field target competition.Part of that is to try out the range. I shot the whole...

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 am looking for a fill probe for a Lane regulator. It is 1/4 inch X 1 or 6.4X25mm. Lane Regulators is taking a brake so I can’t order one from his eBay store. And all the probes I see are 6.9mm.

I am going to build a shooting bench for a public airgun shooting range. I am building it as an addition to the local rifle range. It will be sitting out in the sun and weather all the time. So pressure treated wood obviously. I am going to be using this bench myself all the time so I’m...

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...

You are shooting a group of targets. It’s more than a couple. Like ten groups of five or something where one bad shot does not really make or break the day. Would you rather miss the first shot or the last shot in the group? If you miss the first shot your confidence goes down but you can...

I was expecting a little project restoring my 1934 Buck Jones. Fortunately all it needed was a good clean and the missing shot tube. And now it’s done. Along the way I did a lot of research looking for a shot tube. And after restoring my Buck Jones and a 1894 I kinda like playing with them...

I had a terrible thought last night. Anybody ever drop a fine target rifle with an expensive scope on a concrete floor? What was the damage. Makes me sick to even think about it. It did not happen to me . But did it happened to you?

Back in 2016 I decided to buy a Crosman 2240 C02 pistol for fun. And quickly fell down that rabbit hole. This is when the Crosman custom shop was still a thing and you could build and dream on the computer all night. So I decided rather than buy a pistol and modify it . I would just buy the...

I was just looking for a break barrel and something with open sights.

I have had this gun all my life. It belonged to a relative and I found it in the garage. I remember it working and shooting bottles with it. I even shot my neighbor in the chest when he surprised me by jumping out with a knife. It left a red mark on his chest. At some point over the last fifty...
