Was just reading the match announcement and report for Rockeville. Sounds like a great time you guys had!

I see that that club has combined PCP Open and the non AAFTA-sanctioned but often participated in Unlimited. (we have Unlimited shooters here in AZ too).
I also see that they combined Piston Open, WFTF, and Unlimited.

In the 4 or 5 years I've been involved in field target, I've seen the trend that appears to also be happening out in CT: more and more shooters migrating to Hunter. And that seems to apply to both newcomers as well as some of those the previously competed in Open. Also, fewer and fewer piston shooters.

While I think we'll see an uptick in WFTF shooters here in the US, with a not-so-far-distant Worlds being hosted by Garrett at Rio Salado in AZ......are the non-Hunter classes slowly going the way of the dodo? And if so, why? Aging shooters finding it less physically demanding? (no judgement there, just stating the facts that getting all the way to the ground and back up has got to be harder on knees and backs than going down to a bucket).

If the trend is age related, what happens to ft when those that have "aged out" of Open eventually get too seized up even for Hunter? The end of field target? Not trying to be chicken little here, just looking for some insight from those who've been in the game much longer than myself and have maybe already witnessed similar trends in the history of ft.

Or will it simply carry on, with us all shooting in Hunter class, essentially on equal footing? (I'm not entirely against that concept and have voiced my opinion before that all the field target classes fragment the competition pool out quite a bit).

Within the last 6 months, I have purchased two Great White Tanks from Joe Brancato's company. I shoot a lot, and have many guests come to the range. I simply didn't want to have a point where air wasn't available or sufficient (though I also own an Alkin W31 vertical).

The first one has performed flawlessly.

Upon receipt of the second one, purchased about two months later, I filled and set it beside the other one. When I went to use it about a month later, it was completely empty . The leak must have been very slow as their was no audible sign. I filled it and tested it, and couldn't discern where the leak was coming from, but it still leaked off about 50 bar each day.

I called Joe's company and they told me how to remove the valve assembly from the CF tank. They also sent me a paid return label for a USPS medium flat rate box. Immediately upon receipt of the label, I finished boxing and sent it back.

While it took about three weeks to get it back from the time I first notified Air Tanks for Sale, upon receipt, it works perfectly now and has held air for a week. BTW -the ALKIN 31 filled the 97 cu ft tank from dead empty to 4500 psi in 31 minutes.

There was no charge and no questions asked. There was also no explanation as to the problem but I noticed when I received the new tank back, it had thread tape around the gauge mounting threads.

At any rate, I am appreciative of Joe and his team for taking care of the issue and returning it in great shape, paying the shipping both ways.

I recommend doing business with them.

Shot thirteen sparrows today. A “baker’s dozen”… All the kills but two were recorded through the Wraith Mini. I have the triple kill recorded and confirmed. The three pictured sparrows by the feed tray are the unfortunate triple. I thought I had two lined up and sent a pellet. When I went to recover the bodies, I saw the third. In the video it’s a clear triple kill. I will post it up as soon as I figure out how. All kills from 22 to 26 yards, range finder measure, using CPHPs. I sit to the left of the huge fan in the distance.

I'm going to be offering several additional tuning parts and upgrades for Kral along with several additional pcp guns. Benjamin Craftsman, Airacuda, Umarex, Gamo and Avengers along with slug barrels for most of the commonly owned guns out there. These will be available to tuners and customers alike. I plan to still build and sell some custom guns but I'm no longer taking customer tunes going forward. I'm currently looking for someone I can refer that business to. I will continue to support any previous work I've done but hoping to find a reputable person familiar with or that's wanting to add the Kral line to their business.

In like new condition. Holds air (only dry, filtered air ever used via compressor). No scope ever mounted. BSA CHF barrel. Gun was purchased new to develop/test the machined magazines you see.

Very accurate, fun to shoot and great for pesting. Has a folding stock, pic rail, moderator, single shot trey and 4 mags. Hammer springs can be changed out with taking gun apart with the stock is in the folding position. I have extra orings and tps for tuning included. Price is $400 shipped to the east coast. WIll accept Cashapp, USPS M/O or check once funds are cleared.

I don't see a lot on the forum about BSA rifles . That is probably one of the reasons I am fascinated with them. I like to try things others overlook or have moved on from, or the unattainable.

I'd like to hear from owners or former owners, the model, whether it was regulated, if a spring gun the estimate on year made, and experiences.

Any opinion on BSA cold hammer forged barrels compared to other makers would also be interesting.

It is okay if this thread goes other directions, etc. Just fire away.

Anyone get there new U2 yet

Very little use as been in hospital. Shoots way hood tuned for 16 gr at 900 fps 55 plus shots on the reg. 100 dollar 8 rounds taipan mag holder and huma mod 40 22 cal silencer. 1550 shipped.

I have an inexpensive 4x6 belt/6 inch disc sander that is many years old. The drive pulley is polymer and is fitted to the drive axle with a spline. The pulley teeth stripped out and rendered the machine useless. The pulley is out of production so I cleaned everything up with a wire brush and used JB Weld to reaffix the pulley. Works like new so far. At least until I can budget a better machine.

I always have an unopened JB Weld around.

I no longer shoot .25. PA price on this is $135+ship. A couple have minor tin dings from moving around the shelf, priced to reflect this. Yours for $125 NOW $110 shipped.

This has been an amazingly accurate gun and truly hate to sell but due to unforseen issues with health, my loss is your gain. Thanks for checking it out.

Anyone else but me tired of people PMing about classifieds saying they want it and you send them your info for payment and even cut them a deal when they ask and then they just ghost you?

What the heck is wrong with people nowadays? If you don't want it and backed out that's fine, SACK UP and tell the seller you're no longer interested.

It sucks when I have the decency to play first come first served and hold an item for someone showing interest and they do this crap. Then by the time you give up and go to the 2nd or 3rd interested buyer they have already scratched their itch somewhere else.

It obviously just annoys me lol, I'll jump down off my soap box now.

After two months of out of action I made it back in action today. There was a old dairy I have driven by a couple of times and today finally stopped to ask for permission to do some pesting.

While I was driving to the dairy, as usual New Hampshire didn’t disappoint my funny bone.



The first pass today I saw a flock pigeons reconning the farm, so I ran to a Dunkin Donuts for a dozen. The first attempt no one was home so I took a diversion and then came back, Bingo was the result.

I went up to the door, knocked carrying a dozen donuts and introduced myself to the owner. Most of the cattle had been sold off a few weeks ago, but there were still around 30 head. There was a mixture of pigeons, starlings and plenty of sparrows.

The gun I brought was the Brocock Ranger XR in 177 that I purchased from @Ghostranger169 . The gun is a solid platform, I have a Athlon 4x16 on it (bit large but in the near future it will be replaced) and I have a Tatsu on it. The gun IMHO still has a bit of bark, not loud, but it is notably louder than my Uragan. I was shooting 10.34 grain at around 14 ft/lbs. I mounted my phone SideShot mount for an upcoming video from this debut hunt.

I was a bit off I admit today, and wasn’t connecting like I should, but this is the first time out in 2 months on live quarry. The shots were from 15 to 45 yards. Some total was 2 pigeons (1 recovered the other on a roof) along with some sparrows. I made some stupid filming mistakes like putting my phone in the wrong way into the scope mount. . There were quite a bit starlings, but one missed shot scared the whole flock away.

So after some good walking around for about 1.5 hours I called it quits and headed for a pint before heading home. It was a well earned pint and the hunt brought a smile to my face for sure. I am welcome back and with all the land they have, maybe I can talk them into let me venturing into the woods behind the farm for grouse.

Looking for 22 cal only.
Thank you

So I've got my gun quiet but now what is the quietest target, especially a reactive one rather than paper?

My steel targets ring louder than my gun.

I'm interested in getting Vortex tune kit put in my Diana Model 48. Does anyone know of a company that can provide the kit and install it.

Who reviews the emails sent to this section?
I finally was "allowed" to change my user tag after 30 days and did so 2 days ago.

Now granted "Royal Scam" may have been a bad choice,
( Some may misinterpret or be downright confused..I get that) nevertheless it was mine to make.

I don't want to come off as whiney, because I love this forum and page.
It is full of people who are happy to share their knowledge.
Sometimes that is hard to find.

I just want to change my tag.
So a response as to why I can't use that one or an option to try again would be appreciated.

Doubtful anyone else has had a similar issue but who knows.

I should add that I am aware it may cause some sort of issue in the marketplace but let's be real.
Firstly, I did not join to buy or sale.
Secondly, if you have a lot of trouble figuring out if someone is human or not, (or at the very least devious) then you probably shouldn't be buying and selling online anyhow. Jmho.

If a mod sees this and has it within his or her power...

Mr Mudflood will be a fine and acceptable alternative to my first choice.

Thanks.

P.S My my wife thinks I have taken this too far.
But I have trouble hearing commies.=)

I have this inline air filter leaking. Is there more than one gasket for them? Its leaking from this connection.
Its for a Benjamin Recharge.
Any help, much appreciated.
Thanl you.
