    Events July 5 TEXtreme Bench-Rest Silhouette Match Announcement

    With the best forecast (Weather Blue) showing virtually no chance of measurable precipitation expected during tomorrow's Bench_rest Silhouette match, and a high temperature in the upper SEVENTIES, it's on! Being an amateur meteorologist and prophet, I'd speculate winds might also be a bit less...

    Brocock/BRK Atomic XR I need some help from the BRK crew

    Despite audible clues you mention, consistency over the chronograph would rule out velocity related issues like bad/blown breech seal, valve problems, and/or the power adjusting wheel. The .22 Sniper XR I bought brand-new wasn't accurate. A bore-camera revealed cavities in several places in...

    One shot, one kill

    At only 36" overall, less than eight pounds, and a ten-shot bolt-action repeater, my .22 Brocock Bantam Hi-Lite 'semi bullpup' topped with a Japanese-made Weaver V-16 is not only my go-to pester, but also my 35 Foot Pound Class Bench-Rest Silhouette competition rifle and back-up Extreme Field...

    In packing for my African dangerous-game safari with the omnipresent goal of the most firepower return on size and weight investment 🤥, I came up with the perfect ammo can to fit in my 5" x 8"dangerous-game pistol case, without adding more luggage space. Said ammo can holds enough propellent and...

    Other Gk1 still best?

    Some platforms really shine in specific calibers, but really suck outside their comfort zone. The GK1 and Revere are great examples. My .22 GK really hits the spot; literally and figuratively. 🥰 .

    And thank you, Sir, for the targets and everything else you do for TEXtreme, field target, airgunning, and this forum. (y)(y) .

    Yes. Yes. My .22 GK1 at 40 yards- My GK1 at 60 yards (notice the little red spot)- .

    Considering you've never given me any reason to doubt anything you say (or post) CD, the 'fact' Texans have a hard time hitting the side of the barn absolves most of my 'regular' shooters of hitting the 50' X 10' broad side of my shop- If so, that narrows the list of suspects to Okies...

    Huben Observations Shooting Huben GK1 V3 - Offhand

    Assuming this chart is the product of pistol shooting experts, it might help- Myself being allergic to puzzles and over-thunking :unsure:, I assume my pistol shooting success(es) must relate to six decades of trial-and-error (read that, 'experience'). With that last sentence in mind, should...

    Water snake caught threatening baby bluebirds

    Texas water snakes are voracious predators, and often mistaken for water moccasins by the less informed. On two occasions I've come upon moccasins with a dearth-grip on bulldogs after being attracted by the frog's distress calls. I've also come upon and freed a cottontail on its last breath...

    I understand. But I can't understand how someone... correction, anyone in business wouldn't understand that peddling crap might not be a good business strategy. .

    I was thinking about replying, "Yes, practice field target at 44 yards in your back yard", but decided it might be too facetious to be helpful. :rolleyes: Reconsidered that decision after reading, "Put one 1” target out that far, and shoot it standing." :oops: So I'll just say any FT-related...

    Diana High quality German engineering........

    Have my doubts any Germans were involved in the engineering of that Diana branded trotline weight. I'm on my third Volkswagen GTI. Driving one leaves no doubt of the German engineering, despite assembly plants in several countries. China is capable of making excellent airguns; be they...

    "Necessity is the mother of invention." "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Hardware store small-parts bins are your friend. But a lathe expands horizons considerably. .

    True confessions time. Although I might have more, longer, wider and deeper airgun experience than anyone else, that experience is nevertheless influenced by personal preferencs and prejudices. Two come readily to mind- I fall somewhere between uninterested and repelled by smoothbore barrels...

    Benjamin Custom-stocked .25 Marauder find

    Agreed, MH. But to avoid any potential confusion, I consider the AoA/TEXtreme Airgun Sports relationship to be mutually beneficial. So I'll take this opportunity to repeat something I state in every TAS shooters meeting (and elsewhere)- I can't thank Airguns Of Arizona enough for their...

    Of course! In junior high I discovered Bic pens with the guts removed make excellent... and CONCEALABLE, spit-wad blow-guns. I should have patented that idea, as it soon caught on like veritable wildfire (among the group of ne'er-do-wells I hung around with). Also of course, I took it to the...
