I have 7 steel target hangers up for your consideration. I believe these are made from AR500 steel. They won't break / chip / dent if hit. Especially from an air gun. However, they'll work perfectly if you're shooting firearms too.
The targets themselves are not included. They are only pictured to show the hanger's ability to support different thicknesses of steel targets. These hangers are designed to hang from EMT up to 1" thick from a target stand something like this: Of course, you can rig up whatever works for you!!
The hanger to the left is zinc plated for ultimate durability. The others are powder coated. Other than that, they are basically the same.
These are heavy and could be pricey to ship.

The picture above demonstrates the hanger's ability to support different target thickness.
For a visual, I thru this stand together quick to show how they look mounted. I mounted 6 targets, 1" -> 6". Normally, there will be spacers or spring clips to keep the hangers from sliding left/right.

Just to clarify, this sale is for the hangers only. No stand and no targets.

Thanks for looking

Does anyone have pictures of a carbine and HP barrel with the shrouds off? Or someone who wouldn't mind taking the shroud off to take a pic for me. I most interested in the HP barrel.

This is for a project I am working on.

I have a question that perhaps has not been addressed.

New to bench rest shooting, I'm wondering whether a front rest such as the SEB250 coupled with a rear rest such as a Saber Tactical Pro Universal Bench Monopod is superior to using a pan tilt tripod head as the front rest with the same rear monopod?

I like the precise adjustability and convenience of using the Saber Tactical rear monopod for aiming, but am wondering if a tripod head that vertically adjusts to the angle of the rear monopod provides a better base given that the front contact area remains uniform despite the angle.

Any insights would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

normal to have this much press diff gun bottle v compressor? been like this from start

I read somewhere on AGN that the CPHP pellets were not allowed at some clubs due to damage they create on targets.

I can actually tell when someone is shooting them as they "sound" way louder (even at <20 fpe) when they strike the target or paddle
and
i can see the extra damage or wear and tear the create on a gamo knock down target, esp with a smaller KZ.

Does anyone have a link to the info about the crosman premier heavy pellets damaging targets... i just can not find it.

A Diana 75 and an LGV both walnut. Pretty pricey I thought but nice rifles. Also an LG 55 that would be a good project. Someone please buy the LGV before I give in to temptation!

Figure I would share my old knockdown target design. I made up a dozen of these a various critters years ago for me and my cousin to bang away on. Fun and relatively simple projects.

Box of tools, parts, carnauba, wax, sandpaper, buffing, compounds, silencer, stuff, tools so many things when I was rebuilding and working on air rifles. Everything in a box for $25 shipping.

We held a match yesterday, 03/22/2025. And it was a blast.

As far as weather goes, we had highs in the mid 80s, FULL sun, and light little breezes that I can't imagine ever got much more than 5mph. The level of wind was pretty manageable. But the fact that it came from a bunch of different directions, was swirling, and generally very inconsistent, made it tough to connect on the farthest targets.

A total of 16 shooters attended. The biggest division was the 72 shot match, sub 50fpe pellet flingers, with 9 participants. Next came the 48 shot (long range and pellets under 100fpe), with 3 in that class. Then two in the short range pellet class, both shooting 18-19fpe .177 pellets. And one in the subsonic rimfire class. And finally, just me in an experimental sub50 pellet/slug hybrid class.

We had this many left for the group photo at the end...


We're 3 or 4 months into the new format that offer a class/division for just about anybody to come play in. And I hadn't had the ambition to work out the extreme Troyer factor, til now.

Here are the distance/killzone/troyer factors for all 36 targets.



Other than the standing tripod shots on lane 9, I highlighted (yellow) the theoretically hardest targets. The lowest T of those 8 is a 44.5, the highest a whopping 60. The average Troyer of those 8 "hardest" targets is an eyebrow-raising 51.6. Very much apples to oranges, but foor a point of comparison, the sub 20fpe flavor of field target (AAFTA) considers any single target with a T of over 50 illegal. And any course average higher than a 36 is also deemed illegal in AAFTA. Our course average yesterday was a 38.5T. Ultimate Field Target is a variety of field target that holds true to its moniker of "ultimate." The level of difficulty for the hardest targets is WAAAYYYYY up there for UFT. But there's also targets like the 1.5" @ 32 yards "middle" on lane 7 that can make a newcomer feel a sense of accomplishment.

And here is how we all fared...



And some additional stats for comparing everyone. Each column represents the yellow-highlighted targets above. Not very fair to stick everyone in the same chart like this, since we've got 18fpe .177 pellets, all the way up to rimfire, but still interesting to see the breakdown. So, this following chart is offered as primarily a means for competitors to see which of the hardest targets are costing them points.


This was Tammy's first UFT match, with a new gun/scope/rig. Very challenging course for a 18fpe .177. And she did great! Congrats on the win. The tie in her class was broken with longest streak, she had 5 in a row, and Cabe's longest was 4. Always good to welcome new folks out to the matches.

Steve M dusted off his rimfire. I saw or maybe heard him say that he hasn't shot a rimfire at a UFT match for quite a while...maybe he said 2? years, choosing to use an airgun in that timeframe. The time away from his Anschutz didn't appear to bother him, as he turned in a very respectable 89.6% knockdown ratio.

And Barbara. Man o man she's on fire for these UFT matches. If I'm not mistaken, she has been overall match high for 3 months in a row now. Congrats Barbara!!!

As for my experiment with using 29fpe pellets for the near and sometimes middle target, and 34fpe slugs for the far target...I had some brain farts that cost me points. Going back and forth between pellets and slugs, combined with managing my 7 year old's rig, meant that I was going back and forth from 3 different trajectory charts. For my gun I was dialing back and forth from 6 to "MAX" on the power wheel, 6 for pellets, and max for slugs. I forgot to dial up to max on the first slug ('FAR") shot on 4 occasions, and watched the slug hit a couple feet short. So lost 4 points there. There also is a 2/10 of a difference in horizontal from pellet to slug zero, so I lost a couple more on the really tight kill zones for forgetting to add or subtract in those two horizontal clicks. And then the simple grab a pellet or grab a slug situation. Just a lot to mentally manage with 6 shots in a 4 minute time clock. It was certainly fun though, and kept me hopping!

Overall I think we all had a great time. Hope to see you all back next month. And as always, for anyone else interested, we'd love to have you join us.

Thanks to Ben and Scott H for course prep and all the behind the scenes to make these matches possible.
Thanks to Stephen K for supplying some much needed post match snacks and drinks.
Thanks to PRGC for sharing their facilities with us.
Thanks to Barbara for photos. (I was told all the photo credit that I've given to Tony P in the past was misdirected, as she has been the primary photo taker when I get match report photos from her and Tony. So, public apology to Barbara.
Thanks to Van and Scott for photos as well.
And thanks to everyone who attended! It was great to see old and new friends, shooting the targets, and the bull.

Top three full monty pellet scores in this photo...

Was literally only listed for minutes!
I've been looking for the right one forever in factory carbine .20! And low and behold it popped up the other day on eBay. Scheduled for delivery tomorrow and I already have a JM medium power .135 wire kit and piston seal ready to go!
Supposedly it's never been opened up and a safe queen so I'm pumped to get her in my hands! Will definitely be posting some better pics when she arrives!

James from Michigan

Found a piece of 9” diameter ductile iron scrap about 2’ tall @ 40 lbs, so decided to make an enclosure I can place my HPA bottles in while filling. The tank shown is a 9L, 7.5” diameter.

Good idea or supremely stupid due to bomb effect? If it’s the latter I’m out less than $10, so no big deal.

Lol is anyone surprised about this? In my search for a .177 gun I was offered this .22 Mutant short from @Deathwizard . Looking for a 20fpe gun this just fit the bill perfectly so of course i jumped on it. I threw my 4-16x44 Arken LH4 on it. We'll see if it stays. For now I can have an Athlon 10x42 or Discovery 2-12x24 to try on it. Not sure which direction I'll go. Hopefully will get to test it out soon but having just had a son on the 18th I'm not sure just how much time I'll have. Plan is around 800fps with the 14.3gr CPHPs and also shoot the JTS 18gr wherever that'll put them. Will be a 60yd and in gun. I owned a Mutant standard years ago which is what started the Taipan addiction. Since I miss my Vet Short that I sold to my brother in law I'm happy to have a replacement for it and happy to have a Mutant where it all started many years ago. I thought I had pics but must have forgot. Will take one before I head out in the morning.

I took my custom stock design work for the FX DRS and created a Glass Fiber composite stock from the design. A lot of features with Adjustable Cheek Riser, M-Lok Rail, QD Sling Swivels, lighter than wood, and tough.






Weigh is in kilograms. I am still working a few design elements to take a few more grams out of the stock.

New member. I started out with a Hatsan 95 thinking I just wanted it for pest control (squirrels and rabbits). I hate it. But I caught the bug and now I am thinking I want something PCP and accurate (same hole) for target shooting as well. And there is a field target group near me in Dallas which I would like to try. I was thinking .22 caliber. I would like to find something used to get the most value. I would like to stay around $1k. I have thought about a new FX Crown basic (around $800) then get a chassis. I have also thought about Feinwerkbau's, Walther's, etc. Are there any recommendations for guns I should consider? I am just learning about guns in this price category. I could always bump my $$ if it is worth it. Buy once, cry once. Thanks.

***SOLD***AA S400 classic Metal high luster bluing excellent, Stock as NEW, moderator, Forster fitting filler, Morgan adjustable butt pad. Very accurate rifle.

Extra Barrel shroud with two factory moderators (Old and New), also Donny FL Moderator adaptor for standard moderator use. Also includes Arca rail, with bipod, and all the latest upgrades from Skout. $2000.00

I have two cases of .22 MRDs. I also have about 8 tins of 13.43 monsters ( not redesigned)

9$ a tin we will split shipping. 10 tins or more.

I was having the thought of selling off my classic leshiy and the extras I have for it for a multi-shot rifle. And when looking I am seeing that there are two different options for the little RAW rifles. Has anyone done and in depth review of both of them showing what the difference is between the two rifles? I see that there is a few hundred dollars, but is there anything else different between the models?

About 1500 pellets ago I put a new spring in my TX. It took about a half tin of pellets to get to near normal accuracy. I have had the feeling since its just not where it usually has been. 2 best pellets are AA 8.4 in .452 and JBS 8.44 also in .452. I decided to compare the pellets with five groups of each with 5 pellets per group. First thing I found out is probably why I think I lost a small amount of accuracy. Average velocity is 869 with both. I have decided to leave it there as we are going to have 50 yard matches this summer. I will shoot the LGU indoors at 760. Ok the aggregate 5 x5 groups measured center to center at 20 meters...JSB .209.....AA .278. The JSB 8.44, .452 appears to be the choice for all my springers. Works for me. In the 2 fifty yards matches I shot and won last years I chose the AA 10.1 for the added weight as it is close to the other two at 20 meters. I felt it would help fight the wind and that seemed to work out.

This is a carbon stocked .22 Cricket Tactical 60 (long), has a new Huma reg and is dialed down for 880 with the Hades.

Had an issue with the bottle today while out shooting so swapped on a 480cc Air Force bottle I had laying around. After the bottle swap was getting inconsistent speeds and just not worth tearing into so letting it go cheap. I am sure someone with more tuning know how than me can make this as it should be but above my pay grade.

Comes with fill probe and two mags as well as stock regulator (works great). Sold as is.

600.00 and can split the shipping.

i have some chicks in the yard and a pup in training as a guardian. This fella showed up and I had to get rid of it. 3 shots from about 15 yards. Third shot hit the head. I think I have 18.1 grain pellets loaded. Either that or 24 grains. I forget. It’s what was loaded and ready to rock. The chicks were about 15-20 yards away.


This is the first snake he’s encountered that I can recall.

A comparison photo for scale.

I’ve narrowed it down to these two so far…

I often complain about technology and the frustrations that it can cause but then again I'll also wonder how much more enjoyable it has made this particular hobby to me as well as some others.
One of my most cherished airgun acquisitions are my Webley spring-piston pistols, a Beeman Tempest San Rafael in .177 and a Webley Senior in. 22 caliber. When they were in production I was in no position to own them. With the development of technology the world became smaller and in some ways a little more forgiving. It may have taken quite some time but I am finally getting to shoot these excellent air pistols.

As I’m completely new to the PCP world I have no idea where to start as far as adjustments if even needed.

Can hammerspring be adjusted and no reg adjustments to make it a little less complicated on me?

This is the chassis with no shroud.

On my Garmin Xero c1 pro
I’m seeing pretty consistent 950ish fps with JTS dead center 29.63 pellets.
My apologies I had JSB on the original post.
250 bar on the gauge which is another question on whether these gauges are pretty close?
Not wanting to damage anything if I overfill.

40 yards its placing same hole numerous times.

Any help or advise is appreciated.
