I shot the plate racks a bunch today. What great fun! I need to get the wife to time me but I think I'm around 2.25 seconds to clean a rack from high ready.
3 tins through the Venom now and no problems have arisen.
I also gave my Steyr ProX a go on the racks. At 28 fpe it's a bit too strong so I better not use it on them unless I can reduce the power as low as the Venom is.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly. The impulse moderator comes with four baffles and you added three more?

I like this March DFP 1.5-15×42!
The IQ is better than I expected it to be and it's much nicer on 15x than my March DFP 1-10×28 is on 10x. There is a little blurr near the edges of the FOV which I knew would be the case based on video reviews I've seen before. The more I bring the magnification down the more pristine the IQ gets.
It's also a tad more refined feeling than my 1-10 as far as the controls.
The Shuriken turrets are GREAT and the way they lock is refreshing vs the snap up and snap down type of locking turrets.
Love the daylight bright center dot which is more bright than in the 1-10.
The reticle is well designed for this magnification range. too.
I did find a problem with the alignment between the FFP reticle and SFP reticle that needs to be fixed so that's a bummer. If I turn the magnification clockwise everything alignes, counterclockwise not so much, but that can wait until March gets their USA warranty department up and running.
I need to get lighter weight rings but these Vector rings were all I had at the moment.
Oh and was hitting my 3" spinner at 100y this morning way more than a 22 fpe pcp has any right to do. This gun is surprising!
My friend visiting, who hadn't seen the Venom yet, was amazed at the whole deal going on this morning!
