I used to do that until I realized 1/4 turn is equal to about .007”. I’ve since marked the top & face of the knob when four lines out with a stripe of white electrical tape and can easily distinguish 1/8 turn. Much faster and no caliper needed. I used four lines as my starting point since one...

If you haven't seen it, I would suggest this video from Steve of AEAC. I keep watching, reading, and listening to whatever sources I can find to try to come up with a better understanding than yesterday. Lately I've felt that the rifle is more violent & maybe less accurate with a higher reg...

A word to the wise: If you go for this deal maybe order your weights and diameters in multiples of 5 tins so they come in a plastic sleeve. The bundles of 5 seemed to be in better shape than the doubles and singles that looked like they'd been in a hockey game. They were all wrapped in bubble...

After hearing stories of clipping I’ve thought a check rod would be nice to have.

I’ve burned through a lot of $ in slugs in the last 2.5 years, but it’s also been quality time with my rifle so not horrible. Steve of AEAC has said “use the regulator as your primary throttle” which I take to mean don’t set it higher than needed, and “tune to the knee”. I started with the...

My Impact is my first and only PCP. I knew I was serious and had wanted one for years. I knew I didn’t want a progression of lesser rifles only to work my way up, but just one I would know intimately and not grow out of. Also, the greatest potential for accuracy was paramount since I knew a 2...

I would have wanted this as a kid. Probably still do.

I took out a spider that way some days ago. Turned it into a smear. I shot a felt cleaning pellet from three feet away into a thick old bath towel to capture it for inspection. I was surprised to find it penetrated the first layer!

I shoot them at 970 FPS out of my M3. Can get 1 hole at 50 yards.

Shooting H&N 25 gr. HP slug II's .218 dia., I lowered the 2nd reg from 119 to 111 so max velocity was nearer desired velocity. Even in today's wind it was obvious accuracy was improved and ES down to 3-4 FPS with velocity at 995. I didn't take pictures but figure minute of squirrel head...

I have the same rifle in 22 and put down a handful of coons with 18 gr. pellets, sometimes needing a follow up. Of course, shot placement is key. Now, with the impact M3, 50 foot pounds on tap, and the ability to place a 25 grain in the ear at 30 yards it almost seems like cheating. They don’t...

So I have a buddy who is knowledgeable with Impacts helping figure some things out and he felt my stock (harder) valve spring was too strong and limiting my valve's adjustability. Today we tried the softer spring and it gained about 35 FPS even though the adjuster had been out to 5 1/2! It...

Kinda funny, but that’s what the TSA agent did with my brother’s deer rifle at the airport to check if it was loaded. Supervisor quickly took over. Sheesh, maybe train first.

Quikrete or Sonotube 4’x 16” concrete form $23 each. Essentially a large, stiff, industrial strength toilet paper core. You could maybe weatherproof them with an elastomeric coating or some such. You would need a way to support & join them. Hate to be negative but the military proximity makes...

Not sure I understand this. How do you determine centered if not by highest POI? If I rotate my barrel and I find the highest POI, then I figure I've aligned the POI with the bore vertically. If instead for example I have the barrel installed with the POI at the 9 o'clock or 3 o'clock position...

I’m curious too. I’ve had one day where my Impact M3 shot 5 different MOA 5 shot groups at 100 yards with slugs, but that’s all. When it’s shooting well it will go between 1 1/16”-1 5/8” CTC at that distance, but MOA has been elusive at 100. MOA has been easier to achieve at 50 yards with diabolos.

Thread locking compound?

I remember watching a Matt Dubber video and how he explained that Hein Frommann, a man whose ballistic credentials seem impeccable, developed the tension system. I don't believe this was an FX innovation, but is something they adopted. Full disclosure: I bought one, tried it, removed it. It...

Check out this as an alternative to a tripod shooting setup. More mobile anyway. Shooting offhand I wave like a flag in the breeze so any kind of a rest like table, post, tree, seems mandatory. The video attached seems to show it useful for carrying weight but what about enhancing accuracy? 5000...
