    Beating the Ballistic Coefficient horse to death

    I'm using Strelok used their numbers for JSB 33.95gr, .25's and...it's off a MILE. I finally got off my butt and put a target out to 70 yards, zeroed, then worked up to 100 yards, total ws 11.3moa. Started plugging in different BC's using GA function and I wind up with a BC of something...

    Well, Monday is going to be another trip out to my permission for the Ground Squirrels, my spotter/friend is bringing his drone to film the inaction...yeah you read that right. So my question is anyone have any experience with using a drone while hunting and do they spook the critters if up 50'...

    FX FX Bottle end cap

    Ok, simple question and the reasoning, I don't want to have to refill or waste air when setting the regulators on my Mavericks, my thought and I'm sure this has been done or can't be done...Is to remove the bottle and put a seal on the bottle threads and use my big air tank which can be bled...

    HogKillers Ground Squirrel season is officially OPEN

    Took my Mav .25 and my Jefferson State .25. Set up a target at 50 yards to get the JSAR sighted in, finally got it with 33.95's, hitting the smaller 1.5" consistently. My elevation was great but the windage was off a ton to the left, FINALLY got it right, weird because at 30 yards it was spot...

    How much to dispatch a Skunk

    I have my yearly skunk, it needs to go, my question is how much gun, I can lob a .25 33.95 gr. pellet at it at about 900fps Or a 21 gr. slug. Of course I have to see it first but I've got two night vision scopes so I may get lucky.

    N/A Switched flipped on a Jefferson State Raptor

    Well after talking with Scott Schneider (Motörhead) and Matt from Jefferson State Air Rifles I've flipped the switch on a .25 Raptor long barrel ( 26"/ 660mm) and larger plentum). Not doing anything crazy. Rational is I WANT IT, which should be enough. Went with a .25 because of my...

    Advice on rats

    I may have an opportunity to go after rats, I do have a PARD with a Zulus on the way. I'm thinking my Sapsan .22 should be more adequate for the job than my Compact Maverick .22, except that the Maverick can be detuned a bit. I have zero idea currently about the area I'd be in, I should have...

    N/A Someone talk me down...

    Ok, technically I'm relatively new to airguns, not counting my Daisy 717 from decades past that still works fine. But I've been on this forum for 2.5 years, wow it's been that long.....anyway, I've got a Sapsan .22 and a couple of Mavericks one of which is a project gun. The VP is a .25 so...

    Other Tequila Pistol micro mini review

    Firstly I'm going to admit I'm doing destructive testing on it, not intentionally but it's how it's working out. Just a bunch of stupid errors on my part. To save others from the same fate. Xoloti aka Alfonso is very gracious about sending me parts. Mike VV gave a great report of the...

    Put a cork in it.....

    Went out to Ground Squirrel permission, the Horsemans Assoc.. Had my Maverick Compact .22 with RMR/FX 22 gr. hybrids. Nice day, got there early, saw one at 65 yards, managed to annoy it, missed to the right by 1/4". Maintained our vigil and finally out at 125 yard a few came up, took a shot...

    A Premonition of impending disaster.....

    Yesterday I was getting ready for my weekly ground squirrel hunt, making sure my Maverick Compact .22 was dialed in. I thought the breech o-ring is about to go, sure as heck,,,10 shots later it let go. Now I've got Months of pellets through it as in thousands so it's not unexpected. I just...

    Hogkillers boring adventure 9.8.23

    Well, first the good, it was a good day to go shooting those pesky ground squirrels, sunny and very mild breeze. Now the bad....I'm moderately certain that in order to shoot something that something must be present to shoot. Got there, got setup and saw one, at 51 yards and...missed. Fudge...

    FX Oh DRAT, made a small mistake <---- understatement

    Thought I'd be clever and clean two barrel(guns) that were absolutely perfect, really didn't take much about 6 or 10 patches each, nice and clean. went out to test them....OH damn, the Maverick .25 was off a mile at 25 yards, ok maybe I rotated the barrel 180º, I put it on slug where I thought...

    HogKillers target rich permission, minutes from home.

    Found out today about a property, not really very large, maybe 2 acres infested, with ground squirrels. Lots of stuff to hide behind and if my math is right, my Sapsan with the red-dot would be perfect, 35 yards max shots. Will need to be VERY CAREFUL, houses all around the property. Can...

    Pellet Lube, difference?

    I lube my pellets with Beeswax Furniture polish and have had respectable results, just for giggles I thought I'd lube up 5 with Tri-Flow and see if my speed increased or decreased. Gun used was a Maverick .25 with a 600mm barrel..Pellets JSB 33.95 890 fps. I fired a few rounds to settle in the...

    FINALLY, zero to do with shooting....

    For the past year or so I've been after this damn rat, that's been eating my garden. I've seen it once in the day light and of course I didn't have a gun with me. Well this year it came back so I went high tech, and bought a trail cam to verify it's a rat and not a Possum. Yep trail cam did...

    Well one answer ....

    I was wondering why I haven't seen any squirrels or rabbits recently...This may be the answer, well one of them, there are two. I was only 15' away with a 250mm lens. edit: I'm pretty sure it's a Coopers Hawk. A few years back we saw a fledgling,

    Oh D### stuck screw

    Ok, quick back story, popped the rail on my Maverick VP .25 to see if it was a 20 moa, wasn't, took pics, sent to FX. Put rail back on, I'll SWEAR I didn't over torque anything, I learned my lesson on that many decades ago. Decided today to pop of the 0 rail and put on the 20moa rail, screw...
