When there is hurricane level 5 blowing out there I do not even try to shoot at all. Pellet can change o Zip Code easily....
But when light blowing wind that is normal daily, at 50 yards you can expect some accuracy.

I agree that would be very annoying every shot, would suck out in the wood hunting hearing that. Hopefully you can shut that thing up
nice video though..Upvote 0
Not that short thick barrels have much of a harmonic problem, but I'd still mount the chronograph somewhere else.

This Eepuck is a beast...but a darn good beast. Real world footage is for more convincing. Truth sells better in the long run.

The groups may not look to impressive, but it’s early and lots of tuning to explore: barrels, pellets, regulators, dwell etc.
Shooting conditions play such a huge factor in groups, you can have a respectable tune and not even realize it!
The only way to achieve a honest repeatable tune or should I say level of acceptable accuracy is to shoot, shoot, shoot, get very comfortable with your gun its traits and characteristics. A big issue I have and others is frustration, sometimes I just have to put the gun away, and come back to it with a objective attitude.
Have fun and keep us posted!

The shots at 100 yards are not bad. Vertical axle is absolutely consistent. So wind has a lot to say there.
Not bad at all at 100 yards.
A lot of pellets and slugs to test to see which which ones the Epoch shoots the better.

I’m a bit surprised that it was commented as being loud. Having an aground and moderator and low reg settings .

Oh you are so right, I was in horribly swirling gusty conditions at 50 yards with a .25 going for ground squirrels and they were sitting in their lounge chairs laughing and pointing, quite humiliating.

Yeah...I couldn't make it through the video myself... Couldn't stand that crap.. definitely not my thing..
@AirShootist I understand your excitement (we all do) and also understand you wanted to show it off ( I would too) but how about disabling the voice and rock that rifle again.. so we can make it through the video and listen what "you" have to say about your rifle.. I got so distracted over that annoying computer voice I couldn't see straight and stopped your video... Sharp looking gun dude.. no doubt.. I wanna hear you and your thoughts... That's it..

100%. Imagine my distraction from it as the shooter. Super, super valid criticism. Thank you. To be fair, I did cut tons of it out when/where I could.

Oh man I can see that being distracting after awhile. But just like you I would probably overlook at first. As I would be so excited I couldn't see straight to finally have it in my hands.. I'm sure there will be more videos that fallow. I'll be waiting.
Congrats on your long awaited rifle!

Awesome video, thank you so much for a real world, honest video. I stopped watching many other channels.
How much did the Epouch bark? Also, does the fit and finish look good or is it a bunch of chinesium assembled in PA? From some of the other videos I gleaned that there seems to be a lot of chinesium in it, but not sure.
Many Thanks for the video!

The loudness is not really all that bad. Just seems super loud when you're used to shooting ultra quiet .22 caliber FX's. My old man was about 100 yards away in the front yard and I asked him if he could hear it and he said "hear what?" Lol
Fit and finish is superb. If you've ever handled a DLX Luxe paintball marker or a Shocker, its similar quality to that.
Thanks for your nice comments, king.

I have never watched an Epoch video to date, until yours. I was hoping the action would cycle more smoothly. Or I should say that I am surprised it sounds so clunky with each and every cocking stroke.
I too don’t have a desire for a gun that talks. With the exception being something like ‘low air’ or low battery’.
Good shooting at 100 yards.
Enjoy.

It was pretty smooth. Keep in mind you're not cocking a hammer & spring back. I think what you might be hearing is the giant mass of lead in the aluminum magazine springing forward. The thing holds 22 rounds in .30!

..also taking in consideration this is SKOUTs 1st airgun and its already a high performer competing with the best in the marked.
