DAYSTATE REPORT

Animal are you shooting it on hi power? If so that's probably about right for a non-bottle gun. I get about 70 with a 480cc bottle on the RW on high. 

I only get 42 shots on HI with the Redwolf .22 HP. But they are in the 960 fps range.

Thanks for the info. Is that from a 250 bar fill? Makes me not feel so bad if my Wolverine R HP .22 pulls about the same number before falling off the reg. 

Yes, Hookster; I am shooting on high power. I'm shooting 28.24 gr H&N Baracuda Hunter Extremes at 893.3 fps off a 241 bar fill. I'm fine with 39 shots and yes my air cylinder is only 300 cc. It's just that AOA's (where I bought it new) video shows that the shot count on high is 55 shots. Now I know Jarrod was shooting JSB 33.9 gr at 814 fps off a 250 bar fill, but still. We're both getting about the same energy (50.39 ft# vs.49.9 ft#, respectively).

Crusher, thanks for that . There are so many variables at play here that I am unclear as to whether a valid comparison can be made (different models, calibers, and pellets).

I hear ya. I think the RedWold .22 HP might do a little better if I could spend a little more time tuning it. That is the one drawback to having an electronic gun. I don't have the tool needed to tune it. But that won't always be the case. I'll get one sooner or later. There are none on the market to be had at this point though.

If I get 40 shots on HI, then it doesn't matter if I shoot 18's, 25's or 34's. It shoots the same puff of air. It is fun to shoot an 18 on HI now and then and see the chrono go 1068 fps.

Crusher

Yeah, Crusher; I noticed that. It would be interesting to get a pellet almost up to supersonic! I hear the 18 gr is somewhat unstable at that velocity though. Maybe a regular bullet would be in order at that velocity.

Thanks for the insight that a particular power setting pushes the same puff of air, per se. That makes sense. There is a programmer unit you can get to tune the Daystate electronic guns. That would be fun, but if I find that the factory settings get me my share of bunnies, I'm not gonna spring for an extra $400 and a degree in Computer Science!

Anybody here have any issues with adjusting the trigger on the Pulsar HP . 25? I turned Screw B a full turn in clockwise per the owners manual and didn't increase the second stage one bit. I would appreciate any feedback

UPDATE: I did manage to get the second stage up to 7.7 oz. I also increased the weight of the first stage a tad. It feels good. Defined travel of the first stage up against the second stage. Good crisp release on the second stage. I usually like a pound trigger, but 7.7 oz here feels good. It might even improve my shoot mechanics; less time to hold sight picture. Man, you have to turn these screws a ton to get a change. But, I guess low sensitivity in trigger adjustment is a good thing.

A H , I wouldn't be changing mine either if I wasn't trying to accomplish a mission. Once I get it set where I want it, I'll likely leave it there. Even though these are electronic control guns, they still have a slight curve like a non-regulated gun. And on Low power and Mid power, it does. But on HI power it is a whole different animal. It just needs to be tweaked a tiny bit and it will be right were I want it.

I have tuned every single AG I've bought, to get it to my particular liking. And the RedWold is no different

Crush, I had my Pulsar out in the field yesterday to zero. Man, the trigger is nice where I set it! I like a lighter trigger. It's just enough to have the discharge be a surprise while I hold the sight picture. The pound trigger was just a little too much anticipation!

I even saw a coyote! But, I don't have my Impact .30 or my RAW .357 anymore, so the yotes are safe . I did, however, bag a dove. It had the misfortune of lighting on a wire right after I finished my zero. May it rest in pieces (in my freezer!)

If a coyote ever came within a 100 yards of me and my Renegade HP .25cal I would be sending a 34gr MarkII into its skull. From all the critters I have shot with it I know it will penetrate. 

Post deleted (duplicate).

Yeah, Hook; I have 23 ft# @ 100 yds shooting 28.24 gr Hunter Extremes on high. (And the yote was 100 yds away; how did you know?!.) I'll rethink my decision the next time . I didn't have a shot anyway; he was running and didn't stop long enough for me to get a shot. (He ran across my firing range right after I finished my zero!) As accurate as the Pulsar is, I could have made a head shot.

I barely got her zeroed a couple days ago before I ran out of air and light. I want to shoot groups at various ranges next to test my Chairgun numbers. But today I'm doing the Paul Bunyan thang at my favorite happy hunting grounds. I want to blaze a path to make access to my shooting range easier. Here is a pic of my range; I have a good 136 yds with which to work, which is the limit of my mil-dot scope, I call it Desolation Row! (Lotsa scrub desert down here on the border):

Jealous of your back yard bro!



Crusher

HA! I wish it was my backyard! Actually it's private land owned by a local aggregate company that has given me permission to shoot and hunt. It is like it was designed for a shooing range though. There is a high berm bounding the entire area that serves as a perfect backstop. I live in a small one-bedroom apartment a couple miles from there. I don't even have a backyard!

Still, a very nice place to shoot. To find something like that where I live, you have to go about 50 miles.

I really lucked-out to find a place so close to where I live, Chrusher; private property; permission. I just came back from starting ranging my Pulsar. I got a late start and ran out of light, but I did manage to shoot a group @ 98.6 yds with out-of-the-tin H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 28.24 gr. Here is the group:



Now I know a 3" group is nothing to write home about, but this group was shot using the Chairgun hold-over for that distance aiming for the bullseye. They were shot at my aforementioned outdoor range, standing up, off a Trigger Stick tripod (exactly the way I do when hinting). I am willing to sacrifice a little accuracy for the incredible stopping power of the Hunter Extremes.

I'm going to buy a tin of JSBs and shoot the same distance groups. I plan to do this comparison for seven different distances (yds): 8 (min capacity of my rangefinder); 24.2 (first zero); 49.2 (optimal zero); 50; 75; 100; and 136 (optics hold-off limit).

I actually wish I had access to a 150 yd indoor range where I could sit down at a shooting bench with a lock-down rifle rest to get laboratory-grade groups!

Sounds like a fun project to me. I'm hoping to get some 100 yard shots in this week. My local range is closed monday and tuesday.

It will certainly take awhile! I'll have to run a shot string for the JSBs first. The formal shooting range situation here in Commiefornia is pathetic, There are none down here on the border within a reasonable distance (or any distance that I know of) that has both adequate distance and nice shooting benches. I grew up in rural Pennsylvania where there's a shooting range on every corner! Although, I must say; the sunshine, palm trees, and surfer girls do tend to mitigate the situation ;-)

Can anyone out there in AGN-land share their 100 yard groups with the Pulsar HP .25 for JSBs and the H&N Baracuda Hunter Extreme 28.24 gr.
