    Off hand open sight

    In a post yesterday @Bigragu mentioned some open sight off hand shooting I did at his place. So today I decided to put some shots on paper and see how I did. This is one magazine, 8 shots, off hand open sight from 40 yards with my Leshiy 2, 250mm barrel. My horizontal spread is much better than...

    Page selection at top

    I don’t know if it is even possible to change this on this platform, but I often open a post then have to scroll down to the bottom to get to the page I want. Would it be possible to put the page selection bar at the top of the page in addition to the bottom?

    First shots from new tune

    Weather broke enough for me to want to shoot on a day I had time to shot! End of last summer I vocalized my frustration with my M3 and getting it to shoot well. @Bigragu PM’ed me to offer some support and I soon decided to have him tune it for me. I live in southern Oregon and he lives in...

    Profile names

    I was talking with @Bigragu and he asked about my profile name Redtick. So I shared with him where it came from, and got to thinking it might be fun to hear where other people got their name. As for me I used to, a long time ago, be a big The Simpsons fan, back when, in my opinion, they were...

    Free air

    Less than a year ago I bought and Alkin compressors. It is a great compressor. But now the college that teach at is building a new building for the trades and one of the programs that will be in the new building is structural fire fighting. They are installing a cascading (not sure exactly...

    Pellet trap improvements

    I decided to do a little work improving my pellet trap. First thing I did was JB Weld some angle onto the sides so that I can clip targets to the trap.

    Hunting Bucket List

    Was conversing with @L.Leon about his experience rat hunting, and expressed that I had not been ratting before. It got me thinking about the hunts I would like to do. So I am think about a bucket list of airgun hunts. My favorites are invasive, and damaging species, but not limited to that...

    M3 Tungsten hammer?

    Is this a tungsten hammer weight (see picture). Probably seems like an odd question, like I should know, but there are a couple reason I am asking and don’t know. 1. I didn’t order tungsten hammer weight. I ordered a slug power kit and just received it but opted not to get the hammer weight...

    Shout out to Kalibrgun

    Just wanted to give a kudos to Kalibr. I recently bought a used Cricket and by the time it arrived to me the front cantilevered part of the scope rail was bent. Apparently happened in shipping. I contacted Kalibrgun to see if I could purchase a replacement. I was up front about not being the...

    Brocock Ranger XR

    So I got a little trigger time with my new Ranger XR so I thought I would give my impressions and results. First impression is that it is a solid well built gun. It actually seemed slightly heavy for its size, which is not to say it is heavy, it is a very small gun so only heavy for the size...

    Moderator designs

    There seem to be two different approaches to moderators. One being a chamber filled with some sound dampening material like felt. The other being a chamber with baffles of some sort that strip the air and redirect it. I read about the possible accuracy affects of air turbulence around the pellet...

    Air Force Condor SS .25 almost free

    As you might imagine there has been a lot of response to this add, so it looks like it is most likely no longer available. I have an Condor SS in .25 that I got years ago, my first PCP. Now that I have a number of repeater airguns I no longer shoot it, haven’t for several years. I want to...

    Probe management

    I don’t mind probes, or at least I wouldn’t mind them if they were standardized and every gun took the same probe. But because they are not standardized I have ended up with to many different probes and it’s hard to track which goes with which, so today I came up with a solution I thought I...

    Lelya 2 vs. Brocock Ranger XR

    I am planning to get a small, lower power .22 for pesting at closer rangers or when high power just won’t do also I want a .22 for inexpensive plinking on targets. I used to have a first gen Lelya, and now have a Leshiy 2 (but the Leshiy is in .25 so I still want something lower power than it)...

    I am not cool

    I just almost did the coolest thing I have ever done. I almost shot a Starling right out of the air with my L2. I know your thinking sure “almost”. I look out my back window into the large field behind my house and there I see some Starlings milling around about 30 yards out. So I slide my...

    New Edgun??

    It is now May. I thought I remembered Ed saying or at least hinting that something new was dropping in April. Lelya’s no longer seem to be available, Matadors also seem to not be available. So the only Edgun you can get now is the Leshiy 2. Now the Leshiy is a fantastic gun and seems to be...

    Tuning Bad regulator?

    I have been trying to get my M3 properly tuned. Starting with setting the regs. My front reg I have tried adjusting many times and I just can’t get it set. I finally found that it is responding extremely slowly. I take a shot and it drops from about 180 bar down to 145ish and then take a minute...

    Glow in the Dark

    Ha, I just found out my tank glows in the dark. And earlier today I emptied the tank to put a new gauge on it as the other was leaking. I was surprised by how long it took to empty, over an hour, the pressure gauge was reading zero for at least half an hour while air continued to hiss...
