Thanks for your comments. I love the rifle and don’t want to tax it unnecessarily. I get excellent accuracy with RWS 7.0 grain wad cutters and H&N 8.2 gr. domed pellets. Tom

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

Does anyone have a phone number for Ray Hill?

What is it about the Wicks style flags that you like? What, if anything, do they do that other type’s don’t?

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...

Ballisticsboy, do you have a pdf or Word file for the pellet version of the wind chart. For whatever reason, I cannot print from a screenshot or download a copy, the POI and POA print the target does not . I’d like to have one to refer to on the lid of my shooting box. This has been a great...

Thanks to everyone for your comments, I’ve learned a lot. I had no idea that my question would generate such a lively discussion. PS: I would greatly appreciate someone sending you a copy of the wind chart for pellets suitable for printing. Thanks, Tom

Nervoustrig, I am unable to print the wind charts in your posting, do you have a Word or PDF file you could provide? Thanks, Tom

Thanks for the chart. It will give me a starting point to compare actual results against. Merry Christmas to everyone, Tom

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...

Where can I find the original or reproducible copy of the effect of the wind on a diabolo pellet? Thanks Tom

New to HFT and want to buy a parallax wheel for my Hawke 30 Airmax 30 6-24x to mount on my Daystate Revere. Is the JD Customdesigns 9” bullet design a good choice or are there better options? I am using a Rowan single shot loader on the rifle. id appreciate your suggestions. Thanks, Tom

I’m going to dive into the deep water and buy my first PCP and want to make sure that I’ve conducted my due diligence. I know that I want a regulated Daystate Revere in .177 with an Omega 75cu/ft tank with hose and male and female connections. I have a Hawke 6-24x scope that I can initially put...

Thanks to everyone for your comments. Tom

I’m going to buy my first PCP rifle and want to make sure that I’ve done my due diligence. I will be using the rifle to begin shooting HFT, informal benchrest, and rifle silhouette practice. So purely a target gun. I currently shoot an FWB 300 for informal 10 meter and 25 yard target practice...

Steve, Thanks for posting how you refinished your stock. It‘s really helpful to those of us who want to refinish a stock for the first time. Any suggestions on what, if anything, to use in place of the Behlen’s dye? Thanks again, Tom

Thanks for your comments.

Has anyone purchased pellets from Midwest Gun Works? I was wondering how they were packed and what condition they arrived in? They seem to have decent sales every now and then. Thanks, Tom

I’m relatively new to air rifles and currently own an FWB 300s and Beeman R7 that I’m very pleased with. I am exclusively an offhand target shooter, e.g. informal 10 meter target and air rifle silhouette (20,30, 40, 45 yards). I love the accuracy of the FWB, but at 77 the rifle is getting a...

Thinking about replacing the spring in my HW77. My goals are to smooth out the shot cycle and elimiNate the “twang”. I‘m looking for a soft shooting target gun, no hunting. I have not done this before and am moderately handy. What YouTube videos do you recommend? What tools do I need? What do I...
