    Chilling your tank before topping off

    At the range, after top off, with the tank at ambient temperature, the inlet gauge of my ATP RegMan will indicate somewhere between 250 bar and 300 bar depending on ambient. My goal is to run my compressor once to 250 bar and let nature ensure I get 250 bar or greater. As such I have never...

    Chilling your tank before topping off

    The early Slocum Gliders were very simple machines using compressed air to "blow" the ballast tank to begin their long glide back to the surface. To ensure there was enough air volume at a high enough pressure to overcome the water pressure and completely empty the ballast tank after the Slocum...

    Resources Landscaping Flags as Targets

    Mr. Rudy, if you take the HIGHEST Grand Prix legal Troyer KZ at each distance for each Easy, Moderate, Hard, Expert, ranking at that distance, you will have 166 KZs. Have someone cut those KZs as metal disks, then hang them at the correct distance, make each distance a lane, and you would have...

    Resources Landscaping Flags as Targets

    Gun is fine. A 30 cal 45 grain AEA domed diabolo at 880 fps shoots relatively flat, straight, with very little wind issues out to 55 yards, but, tends to shave a lot off the the Expert KZs. I scored a knock down only when I didn't cut the edge of the KZ.

    Resources Landscaping Flags as Targets

    I ended up with a package of landscaping flags. Cut off the flag and taped a 3×5 note card to the wire. Using a set of circle templates I drew the Easy, Moderate, Hard, and Expert, Kill Zones on the note cards as applicable for each distance delineated on the AAFTA Troyer pdf. Using a tape...

    I have to ask;When you are shooting for accuracy

    I shoot sitting, using a stool at a bench or table, a bipod, and NO rear rest, just my right shoulder and left hand supporting the butt. If my first shot at 50 yards hits clean* inside the 10 ring of an N50 target bull, then that shot is accurate. I do that 24 more times and that is precision...
