What a great day of shooting in some very hectic winds.

[_CTAIRGUNNER_]

Had a great day shooting with my buddy Matt, I baseline tuned my huben .25 I am using for the bench rest at NAC out my apartment door last night and finalized it today with some shooting and practice. I recently got Matt into PCP airgunning , hes got an Airacuda Max .22 and loves it.

We shot the airacudas at 52 yards and then took my huben to 100 to practice for the bench rest competition.

Here is Matts tune with his Airacuda .22 and a group to coincide, the wind was wreaking havoc on the 15.89 hades , just wasn't the day for that hole in hole grouping.

Here is my tune on my Airacuda Max .25 and a group to coincide with it, man I love this rifle, it just shoots!

Now out to 100 we go which I was dreading as this lane is particularly windy, like a wind tunnel almost every time we do have winds.

I was zeroing, testing, and tuning today, finally dialed in a tune that I think I am going to leave and here it is, also the grouping is a full mag, 19 shots, 100 yards, with wind. IMO AWESOME!! so happy with that group for my first day out with this rifle setup. With a non wobbly table, no wind, I do not doubt that it could have shot all 19 in that hole. I know I have some fine tuning to do and practice but I am very thrilled. I am also breaking in a brand new regulator this is my five year old huben and I ended up with some reg creep issues which are now resolved.

Great shooting for the both of you especially the Huben @ 100! Good luck in the upcoming competitions. Nice pics.

CT,
You can stop rubbing it in on the Airacuda, took several months of fiddling to get mine to shoot like that! #1 TIP: Don't overtighten stock bolt, there's no underlying support, too tight can warp action so magazine won't fit. Spacers are available but have to be "fitted" so no see-saw action of stock. I hope an aftermarket synthetic stock, with correct support, is offered someday. WM

I have tightened down my stock a little to tight after the tune , loosened up the bolt a bit and im good. I've read about the spacers, I want to get my hands on some just to install them.

Looks like a nice place to shoot. That's some good shooting for that distance. I'm not familiar with PCP's am I reading that correct 63FPE??

The archives have a 13-page thread, "Airacuda Updates," Post #113 shows spacer provided by Travis. Noticed a simple round spacer offered on a recent YouTube, still with see-saw problem. Bugs me most, this problem was known, yet never corrected, during manufacture, left for warranty service and consumer to deal with. I had two additional problems, stack bolt never threaded down to baffles and a shroud that clips pellets as installed, no clipping when turned around and re-installed. Target work yesterday, grouping like yours, with JSB 25.39@ 50 yards. Silver lining is learned more about PCPs than ever did with others. WM
