Toku58, Nothing gets thru my target, I have made sure of that. There is an air conditioner that you can't see and I don't want to be having to replace it for sure.
This rifle is slick. It shoulders good, is not heavy at all and balances great. The squirrels are living on borrowed time in my neighborhood, the little rats.

The other day I received a .22 cal barrel kit for my Crown, as I wanted to see what the gun would do in .22, compared with how the gun came from the factory, in .25 cal. Unfortunately the kit I received from Airgun Depot was missing the .22 pellet probe, which renders the kit useless. Airgun Depot is trying to locate a probe, which comes with the kit, or have FX ship me one. And just for info, I discovered that the .22 cal barrel is quite a bit shorter than the .25 cal barrel.

Try some JSB Exact 18 grainers, I bet they shoot the best, I have a .25 Crown and gun likes all the JSB's and pretty much nothing else.
I want to order a .22 kit for my Crown and see what it will do, I am hoping for 35 foot pounds and 125 shots/charge on max.

Beautiful Rifle!!! Like the mobile target too

like the bait station ( I assume that what that is) shoot 'em, the fall on the table ready for burial or cleaning.. Well done!!

That's a pretty lofty goal! 35 FPE with JSB 18s is about 935 fps. I'd be willing to bet that you can come close at 32 FPE!
I have a Royale (.22) and I'm hoping that I can do 120 shots (10 mags) at somewhere between 30 and 32 FPE with the HUMA that I just installed.

Thanks guys. I have some JSB pellets ordered, the H&N were added to an order I had coming from Midway. Believe me, I am a JSB fan, that's what I use in my 177 rifles.
The feeder is where I try to do my backyard squirrel hunting, although I do chase them when they are up in the pecan trees.
The mobile target is what I came up with about 3-4 years ago when I got into PCP's. Just a cardboard box with rubberized mulch inside. Nothing goes thru there. When I first started shooting in the backyard, even my FWB 300s Running boar rifle would almost shoot thru 3/8" plywood out at the edge of my yard (about 17 yds), a 22 would go thru it like it wasn't there. The feeder is at about 14 yds from the back door of my house.

The backstop may very well be thick...but if I was your neighbor and you were shooting while I,my Wife,Grandchildren or pets were outside, you could count on a "non-cordial"visit! Airgunners certainly don't need to be put in the spotlight due to a tragedy such as an injury or, God forbid,a fatality! Nobody plans ON an accident...but a little common sense may Very well PREVENT ONE. Sorry to bust your balls but C'mon man!!

Wow! I could never shoot in that direction. I realize it is probably convenient but that is just crazy. Man you've got to find somewhere safer than that to shoot.
I do like your weapon of choice though!!

Might want to change the direction your shooting if possible ...I would be scared to shoot with a house behind my backstop .

I used to live in a place with neighbors near by. I had 7 pecan trees.. the neighbors had pecans trees too..myself and all the neighbors wanted the squirrels dead..they knew I shot squirrels with a precision adult airgun..if I did drop a squirrel in one of their yards they would just grab it by the tail and sling it into my yard..Man I miss that target rich environment and those neighbors..
Being cwmoss is from TX.. I suspect they get it..

I have a target with 1/4" Steel plate in it. and an other target with a 1/8" steel plate. The one with the 1/8" plate, the plate is covered with Duct Seal. Dont under estimate the power these guns can put out. Especially if shot in the same spot multiple times!
Also never assume that a mistaken misfire will never happen.
Better to be safe than sorry!

Hi
I don't wish to spoil your day either but have to agree, Target has no backdrop safety.
Look at chairgun to see the distance/fpe that airguns carry.
You would never forgive yourself if someone was injured.
Beautiful gun , hate the target!
safe shooting

My Daystate AW MCT in .22 would shoot the JSB 18.1's at 970 fps accurately on Hi and got well over 100 shots.
No reason the Crown can't give similar results.

It is interesting how people with no clue, only assumptions, find things to complain about. They are the people who move in next to an airport or shooting range and then start complaining about the noise. I am so glad I don't have neighbors like that.

Wait!!
So we see potential disaster in what you're doing, and try to give you friendly advice to re-think the direction you're shooting and we're the A-holes?? (I guess that's why you took down the picture?)
Your analogy of noise complaint is way off! Noise is harmless.
Slinging deadly projectiles in the direction of innocent people is a totally different issue!
But yeah I guess we're the ones acting stupid?!
Good luck with that!
Have a good day!
