I am very grateful for Jim taking the time and effort to set up my XM1 Bull Shark. Jim is always ready to help others with air gun questions. He certainly exemplifies what this forum is all about. I am proud to call him my friend. Thanks Jim. Bill
I concur with the less expensive guns hanging tough with the higher end gunsThanks Bill and the rest of you guys. I take it that it arrived Bill. I think you got a very accurate gun. You need to try some 30 yard challenge targets with it. I think it might do a 200. I have to really settle down and concentrate to get over 190 regardless of the gun's capability, however. For about the first year of shooting that target I almost never did. Fortunately I got better with practice. Shooting better from the bench definitely helps when you are trying to figure out what pellet a new gun likes.
I expect this to change but right now my Snowpeak guns are giving me better 30 yard challenge scores than my new Caiman that cost 3 times as much! I really enjoy finding a "cheap gun" that can can shoot with the "big boys".
