    2023 Squirrel Season

    I had a half dozen of the 22gr JTS .22cal in my cart last week with intentions of ordering them during a labor day sale. I forgot to place the order. I bet my Ghost would have liked them too.

    2023 Squirrel Season

    I'm just north or B'ham and right now there's too many leaves still on the trees for my liking.

    2023 Squirrel Season

    I say it might be gun, tune or barrel that dictates the speed and accuracy. I have a BRK Ghost that can shoot sub MOA at 50 yards with JSB 18gr pellets flying close to 1000fps. It actually shoots them better than the 25 gr MRDs when they're being shot @ 880-900fps. Maybe those 18gr JSBs are...

    Range finders

    Yeah, my Tidewe HD-700E arrived Saturday and I played with it a few minutes. I like what I see from it so far. It read indoors in near darkness and seemed to be pretty accurate. Looking straight down off my back deck it read 0 yards despite it being at least 3 yards down to the ground. Now...

    Range finders

    That's pretty darn awesome there. I've never used a range finder so I'll have to play with it and see what it can do.

    How well does the Tidewe HD700E do on small targets like a squirrel?

    I need help calibrating FX Pocket Chronograph

    My FX Pocket Chrony reads about 1% faster than my 90s model ProChrono, when the FX WILL WORK. Sent it in for service since it didn't work all weekend and missed maybe 80% of the shots Monday.

    Best scope for PRS & NRL22

    I've always been a fan of higher magnification capability and was recently looking for something to replace my 4-14x44 Athlon Talos. I considered it an entry level scope that I originally purchased to put on a springer. I found a good deal on an Athlon Ares BTR GEN2 but when it arrived someone...

    What's Wrong With This Image?

    I'm the only somebody that lives here and the voices in my head often say crap like that but I ignore them. After all, I'll be the one installing new felt on it if I mess it up, again. 🤣

    What's Wrong With This Image?

    Neither does what I paid. $400 scope in an $800 box. LOL

    What's Wrong With This Image?

    As soon as I reached into the box and picked the scope up in the plastic bag I thought, that feels heavier than I remember my Athlon Talos weighing. Now we all know why. Return label already printed and replacement will be here Sunday. If the weather allows, I just might mount this Argos...

    What's Wrong With This Image?

    Anybody see what's wrong with this supposedly brand new Athlon scope?

    Surprising scope comparison

    Good point, the phone we're reading this in is probably made in China. Maybe my Chinese Athlon Ares BTR will be as useful as my Chinese phone.

    BRK Ghost Review

    A pound, or even a half a pound is a lot. Imagine you're hungry as a hostage and you don't have even a half a pound of steak. 🤣

    Looking for ideas for pellet holder (just one pellet)

    I was up into my 50s and suffering pretty bad memory issues. I remembered my hunting and pellet loading method and had my doc check me for excessive lead. That was NOT my problem. Seems it was Nexium, or its ability to reduce acid so much that my iron/ferritin was low. Seriously, I'd roll...

    BRK Ghost Review

    I definitely took a hard look the Veteran but the tube, or shot count, had me looking at bottle fed fun. Since I shoot left handed, that kinda limited my options and I really love the gun I chose, the Ghost HP in .22 cal. The only thing that I don't like about it, it's pretty hefty for my...

    Looking for ideas for pellet holder (just one pellet)

    I've often wondered if my solution to your problem that I used as a kid might be why I'm the way I am today. I could load a pellet while pumping up my Daisy 880 and never take my eye off my target. Learning how to roll those pellets around with your tongue to get the dome facing the right...
