    Tuning Why no Delta Wolf tuning?

    Either my searching ability stinks, it does, or I haven’t seen anyone posting Delta Wolf tunes. Has anyone seen any? Nothing on the forum, nothing on you tube. Just wondering if anyone has posted any.

    Quick follow up on the Cold Shot

    I’ve had a few weeks to shoot with the cold shot and wanted to let other know that the clicks are repeatable. Running it to 0 and back to 2 full turns plus a bunch of clicks again and again, the shots would land exactly where they should.

    Will Work for Slugs

    Thinking about hanging a sign out front of the house, ‘Will work for slugs’. I’m running painfully low on JSB .25 knockouts and haven’t been able to find any info on when they might be back in. I love NSA slugs, but unfortunately my gun prefers the JSB’s and H&N’s. Anyone heard anything on when...

    Cold shot is mounted

    I mounted a cold shot to my Daystate Safari .25 today. This is my dedicated slug gun. It definitely saves some wear and tear on your scope if you shoot long distance. I was concerned that the clicks would not be repeatable, but it seems to work really well. Zeroed the rifle at 50 yards, and...

    Need help with shooting style for the Delta Wolf / Impact

    I just got my Delta Wolf and my bipod arrived today. Thanks Tomcat for the great review of bipods, helped a lot. My question is, how do you guys with Impacts and Delta wolfs support the butt of the gun. With the bipod legs set at 45 deg , butt of this style gun is still to high to rest it on one...

    Delta Wolf with slugs

    Just wondering if anyone has shot a .30 cal Delta with slugs? I just started playing today with pellets as the gun and I get to know each other. Once I get a good feel for it, I’ll make the switch to NSA slugs to shoot it long distance. Wondering if anyone has any luck or good power settings...

    Finally received my Delta Wolf, but a pretty bad bottle leak

    Finally got my Delta Wolf, .30 Cal. Noticed when it arrived it had only 50 Bar in the gun, and I was worried it might have a leak. Filled it up to 200 bar and could hear it leaking. Pulled the bottle off and it is leaking from the top of the bottle. Never had a bottle leak before. Calling AOA...

    February Challenge

    Wasn’t sure where to post this, so I thought I would place it here. I set the target up and broke out the Beeman P17, shooting JSB Exact from the tin. I was shooting with no rest, using the sights on the gun. Distance is about 15 feet in my downstairs office. I started with the largest...

    Delta Wolf Time Table

    Just for everyone who’s waiting, I spoke with AOA yesterday. I was put on the Delta list in mid November and there best guess was 3-4 months before they’d get to me. I ordered a 30 cal. I’m in no rush, we’re buried under almost 3 feet of snow, so no outdoor shooting for a while. Just thought I’d...

    Beeman P17

    I’m sure many here knew this, but I didn’t. I bought a P17 from a forum member. Great experience and great guy. This inexpensive gun has turned out to be a blast here in the northeast during the winter. What a great garage/basement gun. Not loud, very accurate and just a blast to shoot indoors...

    FYI - Daystate Safari .25 shooting slugs

    Just for anyone with a Safari .25. Mine, and others I’ve seen, shoots slugs very well with the stock barrel. I have mine turned up in power and it really likes the Nielsen 33.5g slugs. They are shooting at 940 ft/sec, same speed as the JSB 33g pellets. No loss of velocity, which I have seen in...

    Difference between Nielsen slugs and FX Hybrid slugs?

    Just wondering if anyone has used both and found any differences. Are the FX softer than the Nielsen? I’ve never seen or touched the FX slugs.

    Continuing to stretch out the distance

    I have been shooting at 310 yards with my Daystate Safari .25 using 33.5g Nielsen slugs. Today I was able to stretch out to 350 yards. I put a piece of wood, 2’x4’ to get sighted at that distance. Using a Hawke Sidewinder 6.5x20, I have the magnification down to 8x to shoot 310 yards. I...

    Quick question about Airgun VS. PB

    I’ve seen it a few times but can’t find it anywhere. What is the equivalent shooting distance between an Airgun and PB. I know it’s a function of drop, but I’ve seen a few times where there was a rough estimate, ie. 100 yards with an Airgun equals 300 yards with a PB.

    Less wind drift - heavier weight or more speed?

    Here is a question I have had a difficult time answering with my shooting. Using the same power plant, same style projectile (pellet, slug), does a heavier projectile get pushed less by the wind than a lighter one traveling faster. It was always my belief that more weight helped buck the wind...

    Tough Decision

    I’ve been shooting long distance with slugs lately. I have my .25 Daystate Safari dialed in with 33.5g slugs. I received the gun with it turned up. Shoots 33g JSB’s unbelievably accurate at about 940 ft/sec. My .30 is still stock tune and although it’s very accurate with 44g JSB’s, it not as...

    Got to shoot a target at 310 yards today

    Beautiful day here in the northeast. Light wind. Paid the kids $30 to wade through the marsh around the lake and hang a target on my steel plate. Fired 2 shots from the Daystate Safari .25 and blew out the oring in the breach. You’ll see the 2 hole covers on the target. Fixed the oring and had...

    Steel target at 310 yards

    Finally got a chance to run around the lake and take a look at my 1/8” steel target. I’ve been dying to see how the hits look and whether there denting the steel. Hits are round and they are denting the steel more than I would have thought at 310 yards.

    Shooting 5023 yards

    Watched a YouTube video today of a guy shooting a powder burner 5023 yards. It reminded me of watching guys shooting Airguns at long distance. His barrel was aimed very high above the target and time in flight was 12 seconds. Had time to enjoy a sandwich before the bullet hit. He never hit the...
