    Airgun action in Maui?

    My family is heading to Maui on Friday for 8 days. Are there any air rifle clubs I could stop by and visit? Any airgun hunts? I've heard ferral chickens are a problem on the Hawaiian Islands. Thanks. Doug

    Hw-50 scope mount?

    My buddy just bought a new HW-50. I sent him home with some UTG 2-piece mounts but they lean over when tightened down and the 11mm dovetail is very shallow with not much of the mount gripping the dovetail. What scope mount (1-piece or 2-piece) is the best for these HW rifles, say under $50. I...

    Custom 2-piece Impact bipod

    I love shooting my Impact but the design of it and any sort of normal bipod don't make shooting from a bench or table very convenient. So, I decided to solve the problem. I ordered two lever throw picatinney rail mounts and a Chinese close of an Atlas M-lok mount 2-piece bipod. [/url][/img]...

    [WTS] SWFA 3-15×42 mil-quad FFP scope

    For sale is my SWFA 3-15×42 mil-quad FFP scope. The glass is great, everything operates as it should and the finish is very good except for some minor scope ring mounting marks. I'm the second owner and didn't get the original box or small parts with it so I'll ship it in the same box. ...

    Ground squirrel-a-palooza in NE Oregon. Warning: graphic

    Yesterday Wade and I headed to a region of NE Oregon for some air rifle Belding ground squirrel action. We left my house about 6:00 and arrived at the cemetery about 8:20. After speaking with the grounds keeper for a few minutes we slowly drove through the cemetery to the back fence...

    New permission & picture

    Guess where I'm going next weekend!!!! [/url][/img] Nope, not here. Somewhere better, see below. This picture was right along side Hwy 82 in NE Oregon and only shows about 1/2 of the squirrels here. I stopped and talked with the property owner and they're bringing their cattle in to graze...

    3D printed .22 Impact magazine?

    Has anyone printed, or seen, a good quality FX Impact magazine? I have a Mk2 with the 28 round side-shot magazine and would like another magazine. My son has a 3D printer. .22 cal, 20+ rounds.

    Impact, ground squirrels and slugs

    Today I took a solo trip to two of my ground squirrel permissions in N.E. Oregon. The weather was 45-50*, mostly overcast and very windy so most of the squirrels were underground with their babies. I shot out of the drivers seat of my truck using the window sill as rest and a very loosely...

    Yellow painted slugs for some singleton squirrel hunting.

    I painted the backs of some slugs with a yellow oil based paint pen and shot them at 100 yards tonight. They are easier to see that grey. With the social distancing thing going on I think I'll take a solo trip ground squirrel hunting and make a slo-mo video if it turns out well. Here's my...

    FX Impact mixing it up at a .22LR shoot

    I had an interesting experience yesterday. Our local gunsmith held a .22LR shoot and I asked him if I could shoot my .22 Impact since my accurate .22LR rifle wasn't available but he said no. I decided to use a .22LR AR I built with a 3.5MOA dot sight on it (my 3-gun training AR). Thursday...

    Leapers has reintroduced their 3-12x44 full size scope as a "classic"!

    I just noticed this. Wade and I both love these scopes on our Mrods. His is 9 years old and I bought a new old stock one a couple years ago. They range estimate very well for a 12x scope, 6 mil-dots in all directions, a relatively thin crosshair, not too heavy, no IR, just a great budget...

    My DIY action camera mount project (SideShot style)

    Last week I picked up a Crosstour 9100 action camera for about $70 that advertises shooting 1080p/120fps video. I also picked up a prismatic sight off ebay for about $20 and the 1"x1"x1" prism is fairly easy to remove. Tonight I spent a couple of hours on Tinkercad designing (and cussing) to...

    My first hunting video - pigeons with my Impact Mk2 .22

    Yesterday Wade and I headed out to "The Farm" in NE Oregon. This place is huge with tens of thousands of irrigation circles and hundreds of thousands of dairy & beef cattle. There are LOTS of pigeons and starlings, probably in the multiple millions. We normally concentrate on starlings and...

    A quick experiment with a Panasonic HD video camera & Picatinney quick detach

    I've been thinking of trying this for a few months so this morning I decided to do it. I started by milling off the top 1/2 of a cheap Amazon Picatinney quick detach mount. I then drilled two holes to allow 8-32 screws to fit through and countersink the screw head holes. I cut a 6.5" long...

    Generic action cameras and replacement lenses for them?

    I'm lookimg to build a scope camera without breaking the bank. There are tons of GoPro competitors, especially with the features the Hero 4-6 have. Akaso, Yi, Dragon Touch, Neewer.........1080p120 is my interest. A used GoPro isn't too expensive but the replacement lens costs about as much as...
