    RX Target Rebuild Complete

    When they first came out, I purchased three RX Targets from David Bitowski for my indoor range. My friends, business guests, and I have likely shot +100,000 projectiles using them. A couple of years ago, I did replace the original paddles with 1/4" paddles and they fared much better. The RX...

    More slug testing - .22 Panthera and .22 Uragan II

    The wind hasn't quit blowing in the midwest to acceptable testing levels for now more than a month. Today, if finally let down to 8 to 10 mph and the temps were good, so I pulled out the .22 Panthera 700MM and the Uragan II 700MM to test the Altaros slugs against the Zan 30.5 gr and the H&N...

    22 Rifle Spring Maintenance and Performance Check-ups - Springers & PCPs

    The Indiana weather is still cold and the winds for the last several weeks have not let up to allow continued pellet/slug testing with any degree of consistent comparison conditions. Yesterday morning dawned no differently, so I decided it would be a good weekend (wife is out-to-town with...

    Daystate Not even fair - .22 Daystate Wolverine HP Regulated

    It has been very windy in Indiana the last three days. Finished a day of "getting ready for spring" chores about 4:30 and decided I had time to shoot the 25 reactive spinner target course before calling it a day. The targets range from 25 to 90 yards, with the 25 and 35 yard spinners only...

    Optics ZULUS HD 5-20R Day/Night Digital with Digital with Laser Rangefinder and Ballistic Calculator

    Received this last week. Played around with it for three or four hours and just decided it is not for me. I like the simplicity of a traditional scope and spend what precious little time I have shooting instead of messing around trying to be a video editor. It is in better than new condition...

    Trouble with Arken Zulus set-up

    I received my new Arken Zulus a few days ago. As others had previously mentioned (so not really a surprise), it came without the rechargeable battery. I went to Batteries Plus this morning and purchased the required 18650 series lithium rechargeable battery. The brand name on the package is...

    .22 Altaros ATP Kings showing promise in the 700mm Panthera.

    I have tested a large sample of different slugs in my 22 Panthera 700 mm. As previously reported, it will consistently shoot sub moa at approx 90 yards using the ZAN 30.5 and H&N 34 Gr heavy slugs to date - its favorites. I received some 40 Gr Altaros slugs from Tony at Talon Tunes this...

    .22 NINE pellet test using Air Arms S410

    Today dawned sunny and 1 degree in west central Indiana, accompanied by significant wind, so my airgun time was relegated to the indoor range. I have written about my old Air Arms S410 before, my oldest pcp in my collection, tuned by master airgun “artist” Scott Schneider at Motorhead Airgun...

    FX .25 FX King 600 set-up complete

    Watching the forecasted winter artic blast head toward the Midwest, I decided that if I wanted to finish setting up my King, this afternoon was my window to do so. Not ideal, as the temps were only in the mid 30s and the wind was approximately 8 mph quartering in, I dressed for it, put a...

    Airgun Technologies .22 Uragan 700 mm overview & Talon Tunes

    Right before the holidays, I decided I have room for one more nice air rifle in my collection. The one person I had never purchased a rifle from that seemed to have a really good reputation and be a great vendor that supports our hobby was Tony at Talon Tunes. So after a lot of on-line...

    Other Interesting unanimous choice

    Yesterday, I hosted three traditional powder burner shooters to shoot springers and pcps via my indoor and outdoor ranges. We started with them shooting the target you can see below - all on the indoor 18 yard range. Each shooter shot 10 shot groups with each rifle. When done, they had the...

    JSB .177 Monster vs Jumbo Monster 13.43 Gr pellets - interesting test….

    I am finding the JSB 13.43 Gr series pellets to be the best performing pellets out of my Air Arms S510 (on the 3 power setting) and my Daystate Wolverine R. I just finishing testing the Monster and Monster Redesigned pellets side by side, shooting 6 ten shot groups of each pellet, from both...

    FX Huge surprise!

    I have my new .25 FX King all tuned to shoot H&N 46 grain heavy slugs or Alteros 50 Gr slugs at +/- 1000 fps. As earlier reported, the indoor short range testing looks very promising. The Indiana weather has been too cold and windy to complete the outdoor longer range testing. Today, I...

    Joe Brancato’s Team Comes Through Again

    When I am entertaining guests on my airgun range and they are shooting the heavier output guns that consume a lot of air, I like to tether the guns from a bench. I wanted to be able to tether two rifles from one tank sitting between two bench positions. I called Air-Tanks-For-Sale mid last...
