    Beeman 25 to 55 in dead air ...

    after you get the scope situated, you should always sight your gun in at the longest range you can or intend to shoot.

    ya know, I recall many times NASA engineers spoke in absolutes and spoke of exact science. how did that work out again? but hey, science is science right? if only they had this forum. lol you are correct. but realize racers bet their life on aerodynamics, and I can assure you wind is real...

    all I can say as far as this thread is you guys should really try to keep an open mind. @Centercut, science is science, but you have to except that running #'s or doing computer models is not science its only theory. actual science is what has been proven firsthand many times over. we have to...

    Eating Woodchuck/Ground Hog???

    groundhog recipes can be found in home cookbooks. it's nothing new, just not common today. if you can eat a rabbit, you can eat a groundhog as they eat the same things. the taste of an animal will come from the food it eats. oh, and no I haven't eaten one yet lol but I had the same question last...

    Body shots on bandits?

    mostly the part where you said "absolutely not true" and proceeded to offer no helpful information but continued to flame blackice. again, if one has exp. trapping then they would know coons caught in a leg trap can and will try to get away. besides the fact that every animal has its own...

    Body shots on bandits?

    both your posts make it overly obvious that you have never seen any animal in a trap, and YouTube doesn't count. coons, like any other living creature, will try to get out of a trap. I, who does have exp., have walked up on coons that fight to get away, some have just sat there looking at me...

    Buying, Selling, Shipping Airguns, Getting Scammed and In Praise of FEDEX

    sadly, this is why I hate selling online. even with paypal I've been screwed. one time I sold some car parts and after the guy received them, he put in a complaint that he didn't also receive everything else needed to install the parts. lost the parts and the money...

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    I'm confused by this statement. a projectile is anything that moves through the air so if I fly a plane at 300 mph it is not slowing down or a car at 200 mph however when a crosswind acts on either projectile it will drift off course and continue to drift until either I correct it or the...

    I certainly am no expert either as clearly I may be completely wrong lol. just wanted to see what #'s you came up with since you already have those profiles.

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    ok, so heres my questions on this. if all of this is true then what happened to all the variables? you have spin, center of gravity, center of pressure, weight, etc. all are left out of these equations. if pellets or anything yaws in flight then pressure from forward movement will act upon both...

    I will have to talk with Bob on this as I have questions about missing info.

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    ok, lets try this another way. lets take what we know to be true. 1) speed is a measure of time over distance 2) high BC maintains speed better over distance when you take those 2 facts you clearly see that time is the deciding factor. so if time is the deciding factor and speed is the...

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    just saw the links so let me give you this to think on. faster absolutely = less drift because if it didn't then BC would not exist.

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    centercut, there's a lot to it and I, as you may know am horrible at explaining things lol. The simplest thing that dictates all is TIME. so, BC is a measure of friction as it relates to air, or another way is every action has an equal and opposite reaction so the force we see moving forward...

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    I respect everyone's opinion, but clearly my statement was misinterpreted. maybe fad was the wrong word. let me just say that if you believe wind drift comes from BC then you may not have a true understanding of what it is. the coefficient of friction on a forward moving object does not...

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    BC is a fad in the sense that everyone thinks they need it to shoot better, further and that it somehow means less drift or better accuracy. just like this post referring to fast slugs. shooting is like a big puzzle, and the pieces can be put together many ways to achieve the same thing. not...

    What's with the Slug Speed fetish lately?

    for me it would be the fact that I can extend the range for a given holdover, get slightly more power at range, have less hold off for wind at closer ranges and reduce the chance of animal movement on the shot. I am purely talking hunting for me, and this of course assumes I can get said...
