Vetmx, That's killer!

My friend owns vape shops that I help build, open, and run..
Since he buys the buildings, I end up living in an apartment above them..
That said, indoor ranges work really well for me, but Unfortunately, no outdoor shooting for me..
My front windows overlook the city's down-town / main drag, 
and back windows overlook a few buildings, houses, etc.. Go figure right?!

And it's funny this came up.. He knows that I'm big into guns, and was getting more air rifles..
I told him over and over and over that I was shooting them 'upstairs' at my indoor-range..
This has gone on for months and months..
Just this pas week, he was over, saw a rifle sitting on my shooting table, 
and he asked me why it was facing the other room, and not pointed towards the window..

I just broke out laughing.. Then asked him - "So, you're saying I should shoot out of the windows?"
He says - "Yeah, that's what I do at my place"...

Then I had to point out and remind him that if I did that, I'd be as bad as a bell-tower-sniper.. haha 

When I took him in to show him the backstop, trap, etc.. He was seriously surprised, 
and told me that all this time, he thought that I was just joking..

Ummm No. I joke about a Lot of things, but that was not one of them. 🤣

Never a dull moment!

I'm in Upstate NY now - [Central NY previously] 
There is a Lot of countryside out this way, so I'm pretty stoked that I'll have a bunch of options..
Even if it's only state-land, there's plenty of it! C'mon Winter... Get the hell outa' here already..
I can't wait for it to warm back up.

Glem.Chally, You're welcome!

Aw man, I'm stoked to hear that you're enjoying your pistol so much! Around 700 rounds through yours already? Awesome! 
This past week was really chaotic for me, but, I was still able to send at least 50 shots down range, and it's been a blast so far! 
I was shooting it in the morning waiting for my coffee to brew before work, and again if/when I could sneak back for lunch. 😃 

Parts came in to mount my larger scope on the P15, so, I threw the little scope onto the pistol.. I'll just say Wow! haha
Off hand, I was shooting from about 15 feet.. With the stock/scope combo, I can shoot it from the 10 Meter mark.. 
The initial accuracy really surprised me.. I hit bull's eye more than a hand full of times before running way too low on air..

As soon as I re-pressurize it, I think I'll do another crappy video of it's dirty-barrel-accuracy [like I do with my rifles - pre cleaning]
Then a follow-up after I clean the barrel.. I am really glad that I grabbed one of these.. They are So Much Fun!

🙂👍

For Glem.Chally, and the other guys also following the PP700 updates:

I threw together another crappy video for mine.. 
This time around, I installed: DonnyFL RONIN suppressor, CVLife 2.5-10X40 scope, and Folding-Stock..
I shot the pistol in 'rifle-configuration', and, I also made an attempt at getting some chronograph readings: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1itOyRKZZyA 

After hours and hours of messing around, I finally got my chronograph to sync to wifi and the app properly, 
but by then, it was too late.. haha

I'll continue to use that when doing my tests / reviews, and, all the numbers are also in the vid description

🙂👍

[UPDATE]

New Setup / New Pellet Weight / New video: Enjoy! 

ARTEMIS P15 22 Cal - Shooting H&N Baracuda 21.14 gr Pellets:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGYXEOLANI8&feature=youtu.be 

I usually get a new rifle, do a bunch of 'dirty barrel' test shots, then clean the barrels / lead in / continue..
Not this time around, The P15 has been so much fun that I have just continued shooting it.. 😜 
I start with Crosman Premier 14.3 gr Hollow Points since they're cheap and light..
My P15 loves those things. Usually, I'd move onto more pellets - Gradually going up in size & weight.. 
Nope, not this time.. I had some left over H&N Baracude 21.14 gr pellets kicking around, 
so I figured I'd get the rifle/scope combo sighted in with those, and then send some down range..
No editing - Roughly 10 minutes of real time shooting using audio/voice for the chrono. 
The full chronograph data results [PDF Screenshot] is at the very end of the video - If you'd like to skip ahead

🙂👍

kzz1kaw, 

Thanks, and right on.. Aaron sure does have some nice videos regarding these little pups, 
and it's nice to hear that he helped you in your decision to grab one of these for yourself!

I've been following these things for way too long.. I even mentioned that to Aaron in a video comment..
To be honest, even though I've wanted to order one, I was going to keep holding off for a while longer, 
but thanks to my Puncher Breaker valve snapping - I ordered my P15 a lot sooner than expected!
I'm really glad that I did, as mentioned . . . These things are just so much fun!

I hope to hear that you really enjoy yours too!!

My backstop: The black material is called 'stall-mat', and you can find that stuff locally at Tractor Supply Co.
If you swing by your local store, they usually have stacks of these mats piled up outside. They're Heavy! 
They're 4ft x 6ft x 3/4" thick. I used 1/2 of one, cut in 1/2 again and doubled up to make a total of 1.5" depth.
Then framed it using 1" x 3" wood.

Here's my crappy video walk-through of what is involved, and how mine was made:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmrXPCpNXSw&t=8s


As for pellets: The ones in this video are Crosman Premier .22 cal 14 grain Hollow Points. 
I actually use them in a few of my other PCP rifles also - because they shoot so well, and they're so cheap!
Walmart always has them in stock, and a tin of 500 of them only cost about $7.00 
If/when I go to a Walmart, I make it a point to grab a few tins, and try to keep stoked up. haha

You should be able to find them in .177 cal also!

I also use a few different pellets by H&N and by JSB. All of those are much heavier though!
Mine would be in .22 caliber, so, closer to the 20 gr range..
They shoot much better when firing longer distances, and, they're great for slowing down the FPS, 
and also great in higher powered setups. I will be using all of those in future videos as well, 
and as soon as the cold weather lets up, I'll be using those when shooting outside again.

Coming home soon 30 days to go. Thinking about picking up a 22 to have all three calibers👍🏾

Nice!!! This time I didn't see any fliers at all, as expected! It's cool to see using the SideShot. You are using the same scope I use in my Taipan. I'm considering getting an Argos Btr to swap the scope (sight.... ) and use the Discovery on my Liberty... not decided yet...

Erlis,

Thanks bro! And yeah, I was stoked to get through all 4 mags with no real flyers also! 
Other than the initial adjust, and a few other micro-adjustments and the x-hairs settling, it shot really well!
Yeah man, using the Side-Shot was great! It took forever and a day to get it dialed in using the Note 8, 
but now that it is giving acceptable / usable footage, I think we're good to go!

Did you catch that 'zoom out' towards the beginning? That was a total Derp-moment..
I meant to zoom back and re-focus the scope, but instead, I pinched zoomed out on the phone screen.. lol
Loving the scope still! I have two of them now.. And like them enough to keep getting more..
If I can afford to - eventually - I'll have one on every rifle.. OMG, they're amazing on the Freedom, 
so you'd definitely like the combo if you use yours on your Liberty!

🙂👍

Just watched your new setup video. You need a new regulator. A 30fps spread from your first to second shot is no good.

Hey!

You mentioned the regulator maybe being an issue..
This is the very first 'regulated' rifle I've used, so, I'm not even slightly familiar with them yet.. 
If you don't mind, could you elaborate? I'm trying to learn as much as I can about them, adjustments, etc..

Thanks a bunch!

🙂👍

You have a regulator that creeps. It’s no shocker, everyone who has this gun either has a creepy reg or eventually will have a creepy reg. When your gun sits, the reg lets the pressure build higher than it’s set point. When you fire the first shot, you now don’t have enough hammer spring tension to overcome the higher pressure. This is a big deal when you are shooting pellets that weigh 18+grains. Your first shot being that much slower at 30 or more yards is no good. Especially if you are shooting critters. Because now you are either missing or wounding them. Buy a regulator. It’s part of the process with these guns.

I don't think you need to change the regulator.... you can but you don't have big issues with it to justify a change. That first shot variation is due to regulator creep, a common issue on the P15 regulator, also the rifle and the regulator are breaking in, so give it some more time and check again later, it should get better but I don't think if it will disappear. But again, knowing that after having the rifle without shooting for a while the first shot will be a bit low, you just have to dryfire before start shooting and you are good to go. I don't know if I'll buy a new regulator just for this if after that you get really good variance.

Sam, how many shoots are you getting with your P15?

Ahhh! Right on guys! Thank you for the insight into that!

Yup, that makes total sense now. And, not only do I notice that with this 'regulated' gun,
I've noticed it in the past with countless other PCP rifles that I've had / used . . . 

If pressurized to the max, or if they sit for an extended time, etc. 
The first shot will usually - almost always - do that. I used to dry-fire a shot or 2 first. 

Since I don't hunt, I've never really worried about it. 
The same goes for 'warming up the barrels' on my rimfire target rifles..
Cold barrel / vs warm barrel - there is also a bit of a POI shift, so, it depends how they'll be fired.. 
Cold - a few times vs. Warm - shooting many / consecutive rounds..

Anyways, I'll be sure to keep an eye on this!

Guys, no joke . . . I've Really been slacking! This P15 has been So Much Fun to shoot, 
that I Still Haven't properly cleaned the barrel! I'm still rockin' the factory filthy finish. haha 

I really need to clean the barrel, get it leaded in again, then break out the chrono, 
figure out what pellets I'm going to continue to use, then adjust the HST.. For starters..

HUMA regs were on the list from day 1 looking into these things a while back, 
and so were upgraded barrel options - I'm still looking into doing a LW upgrade..

Thanks again!

Erlis,

I keep forgetting to check the total number of shots.. Thanks for reminding me! 
I should really throw together a video for that - Because I think it would be very helpful!

We know that one of my accuracy vids, I completely forgot to top off the tank, so, 
while it was shooting Great, it was only about 1/2 full..

This past vid, I did top it off, but, I stopped shooing after emptying the 4 mags..

I mean, I could guestimate the 4 mags x 9 rounds ea. So 36 total
Then pressure drop from full to half, so double the shots to 72 total..

Buuut, that wouldn't be 100% Just a rough guess..

Also, in the one vid, You noticed that at a certain spot, it fell of the reg..
It still shot so well, and I was so into the moment, that I didn't even notice..

What I do know is - The're max is 250 bar, and I keep filling to 200, or close..

That'd be yet another variable..

I'll try to do a 250 bar down to 100 bar test.. 
Multiple targets, and use the chrony also..

I think that'd be pretty sweet to watch if someone else did it, so, 
I might as well throw something like that together myself..

If you don't mind - Just Keep Reminding Me To Do It. hahaha

My memory is horrible.

Thanks brutha!

🙂👍
