    First PCP is a AF Texan LSS .45 cal w/ CF tank; best Scuba tank & round ?

    Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. For just starting off, I think I will stay with the 290 & 350 grain. I may shoot a 100 or two getting use to it, but that wont cost me tooooooo much; I ordered 300 all together lol . I have hunted pig with crossbow and had great success/ shot...

    How many shots are you able to get out of a tank using the 143 balls ? Do you power it down at 50 yards to get more shots and would you still be able to kill a pig at say 25 - 50yrds and get say 10 to 15 shots ? If I could get that many shots out of one tank with the 143 grain balls, that would...

    I just purchased 200 - 350grain & 100 - 195grain NSA hollow points. I'll have to check out the ball rounds; are they 143 grain ? That seems light; being they are round "ball" does that mean they are not effected by the speed ? I read that some of the lighter pellets loose accuracy because they...

    I am trying to stay away from the compressers, being we have access to a good scuba diving shop and I just don't want to mess with them at this point. I don't plan on going to the range and shooting thousands of rounds ; so I figured a tank with 13 to 15 fills in it would suffice for my needs...

    I have been looking at tanks from Pyrimid, Airgun Depot, Utah Air and Airtanksforsale (Joe Broncoto). Being this is my first experience with PCP's, I don't know the lingo all that well so I was using "Scuba" tank as a generic turm (I scuba dive too), I do need to look and see what SCBA means; I...

    LOL thousand yard shot ---- I am setting up for 100 yard shots and once I get down to Texas, I might take some 150/200 yard shots, but the area I hunt in is pretty dense and when hunting pigs you can get within 100 yards; hell, I was at 15 feet with my cross bow...... We have a local dive shop/...

    Ordered it strait from Air Force - they have a great Veterans discount; plus the gal's that have answered the phone are well versed or read on their products. They only have the 265 grain in stock right now, but I'm not sure they can stay true with the CF tank, the aluminum would work, but I...

    So I just ordered my first PCP ever and figured I should get the best hunter I could afford/ kind of afford........ I will be using it primarily to hunt. Iowa does not have a season for these guns, so I will be traveling and some times to very remote locations in Texas, for now; pig hunting and...
