The CURSE of Success: Are you a victim? ​

⨁ Are you hunting down pest animals to kill them?

⨁ Are you any good at it?

Then, you might become one of the victims of success....


I will briefly describe my depressing descend into the successful pester's abyss:


I started out as a lousy shot.
And I blame that to 100% on the gun. (That little trick I learned right here at the forum).
And because my gun was a bottom of the bargain-barrel gun.

I bought a better gun.
And my success rate climbed. A lot more pests got dead on account of my shooting.

I discovered the "Fully Field Rested" hold for my pesting pistol: (a) The off-hand pressed the gun into a sock filled with plastic chips, rested side-ways against a tree, or rested against the top rail of a fence.
(b) The trigger hand does nothing to support the pistol; it only pulls the trigger.
This gave my stooting extreme stability, and it showed in the improved success rate in pest kills.

A wind meter told me how much wind I had to deal with, and a string told me from where it came from.
And math proved deadly once again — the ballistic calculator gave me better trajectory corrections, resulting in a yet higher death rate for my shots....

I bought a scopecam and figured out that my gun's favorite pellet started to spiral at around 50y — ranges at which I used to "score" mostly misses.
Now my success rate climbed again as I cleaned out pests at locations previously unassailable to me.
Great success!


Great, right?
Yeah, right....

▪ Ask my how many pests I've seen at my permission lately.
▪ Ask me how many kills I scored in the past month.


No, better not ask me.
It's too depressing.

After all this successful pesting — I now have very few pests to kill anymore.
I have become a victim of my own success at killing.
The curse of success....



֎ What's your story?

֎ Has success gotten to you?

֎ What's your curse?

What's YOUR CURE?!?

PS:
I can give you the contact info of my psychiatrist. She is helping me to overcome this victim syndrome, and I am learning to cope.

One of the first therapeutic treatment regimens she put me through was a day-long expedition where I was to identify at least 3 more pest species within a 2-hour driving distance of my home.
I can see that she really knows what she's doing. — I am feeling already much better!

Anyone know what this screw is for & whether it is from the factory?

So I purchased this cracked stock from AOA and was hoping to find a gunsmith to reinforce it.

Wondering if someone already did that or whether the factory adds a reinforcement rod to prevent the stock from breaking in half.

I’m looking at possibly a few custom stocks. Being in Canada restricts my possibilities.
Have any of you had a stock made by MCRS Tactical?
Does anyone know of any stock manufacturers I can deal with from here?
Thanks Crow

Has anyone tried any of the Sniper scopes? I’m wondering about the clarity, turret adjustments , etc

These are 25m benchrest shots. Very calm conditions. 15mm between POA bulls. They were shot left to right (row 14 first), using .177 JSB 13.4gr MRDs (washed, not lubed), using my Daystate Pulsar (with Heliboard and Falx moderator) in a Sinclair front rest (with freely-rotating Rodzilla top) and Protektor rear bag. Barrel regularly cleaned with dry patches but not during this sequence. Muzzle FPS across the 30 shots ranged from 766-775 with SD of 2.4; no correlation of vertical spread with FPS. Reservoir pressure fell steadily from about 195 to 156 bar across the 30 shot sequence.

Please note the y-axis wavy pattern of shots across the rows. I see this in a lot of my shooting with this gun, even when using different rests. Sometimes there is a waviness in the x-axis spreads but not in this sequence. Overall the spreads of POI to average POI are not that bad, particularly for row 14. But if I can find the cause of the waviness and address it, my scores might improve.

Do any of you see similar patterns in your shots?
Any ideas on what causes this?, e.g.,
- Is this simply randomness and I'm trying to discern a pattern out of random results?
- Is something happening to my hold and thus torque on the gun as I pan across the target? (Except this happens with lots of variations on holds)
- Is lead building up in the barrel and then periodically getting released?
- Is this the result of some sort of spiraling where the pellet reaches the target at different points of it spiral? (But the variations are mostly up-down without accompanying x-axis shifts I'd expect in a spiral)
- If barrel harmonics, why are the changes gradual from shot to shot?

Nation,

From my sources in Italy, the first day of the World Championships has begun, and was not able to be completed. It will resume tomorrow morning, where they left off today.
The issues that arose leading to the halt of the first days shooting, were many.
Broken strings, faulty targets, illegal size kill zones on positional lanes, no shade on a 90 degree open field, no cold water at all.
One competitor was taken away by ambulance for heat exhaustion.
A total disaster, from what I was told, utter embarrassment.
Best of luck to Team USA and all competitors trying to perform in these conditions.
I'll post scores and results as I receive them.

Not really new to PCPs but it's been a while since I first purchased a Career 707 quite a few years ago.

I've been going through "analysis paralysis" and can't decide between these two fine air rifles. Apart from deciding that I want either of them in .22, they both seem to overlap in terms of versatility and tunability. My primary use will be target shooting at ranges up to 100 meters and small game pest control, again up to the same distance. I kind of prefer the ease of electronic power adjustability of the Alpha Wolf but the Impact also has the same adjustability albeit manually so I could probably live with either one.

Do you think that one is more suitable based on my intended use? Are there any real big differences between the two in terms of performance or accuracy?

11 more days until opening day of squirrel season in my state, my personal Christmas. Getting wound up. Rifle is ready go!!

Hi,

Does anyone know from experience what the minimum focusing distance ("MFD") is on the ATN X-SIGHT 4K PRO 3-14?

I am debating between two NV scope purchases: the ATN X-SIGHT 4K PRO 3-14, or the Sightmark Wraith (2-16 X 28) model. I sometimes do pesting of rats on my shed's roof and the distance is less than 10 yards.

I chatted with ATN's C.S. and they "thought the minimum focusing distance was 10 yards ~ 33 feet".

I know the Sightmark's MFD is less, but is also essentially a SFP scope.

I would like someone opinion based on experience. Thanks.

Any recommendations on a lube that can be applied to the spring externally and a lube for the chamber as well? Hoping an auto parts store or home center would carry a product that can be used? ..

I saw this image when reading a non-airgun story. It seems extremely relevant when it comes to HPA compressors.

Where does your compressor fit? My Shoebox F10 is clearly in the Good ~ Slow ~ Cheap region!

Hey guys,

What’s the max pressure on FX Crown MK2 (grs if that matters) ?

Bottle says 310 max, pressure gauge says 300 bar, text on the rifle says 250 bar, manual says “charge the rifle to wanted pressure”.


So what’s the safe max pressure I can fill the bottle at?

My guess would be 300 but since the text on the rifle says 250, I don’t want to fcuk things up.

Thanks!

My father purchased this rifle from AOA new. Shot it once. Just came back last week with a complete reseal from FX. See tech target. Includes one magazine, fill probe, Huggett moderator and soft case. Rifle is in like new condition!
$800 plus $45 shipping in CONUS. No international sales. No trades. Payment via PayPal F&F or add 3%.

Hello everyone,

Following the trend of the Forum members I contributed to the Insect Control today by eliminating a Black Wasp with my RAW HM1000X .22 cal. If you look real close around the hole in the target you will see some blood and guts and a small amount of body parts. This guy landed on the target and stuck his head inside the hole just shot in the number one 10-ring and then moved over to the number two 10-ring where I was aiming, it was too easy.

Have a great day,
ThomasT

New here and just recently got back into the game from a 12 year hiatus.

Picked up this t06 .177cal D280 premium and matched her up with a hawke vantage 3-9x40 and an air venturi muzzle break.



Gotta say I sure missed having a high quality German break barrel, and such a sweet shooter at 12ftlbs.
Hold sensitively is minimal and shot cycle is short, smooth, and quick.
Ive got no complaints on the t06 trigger either, I actually kinda prefer it over the HW record due to the blade being closer to the grip.

Most importantly though, she prints:

(JSB exact express 7.9gr .452 28yrds 5 shots)

Suprised these never got much fan fair, I like it better then the HW50s I once had years back.

Hello, I have my Red Wolf .22 HP coming in Friday and I have a few questions.

1: What is the twist rate to the ART barrel? I can’t seam to find this info.
2: This has a couple parts to it. Has anyone added a bigger bottle to your RW? Did it change the balance of the gun a good bit? How much did it increase your shot count? Does the new bottle take the same valve? If not, what is the valve thread pitch sizes needed?
3: How many run any kind of 3d printer barrel tubers?
4: What advice or watch out for’s might you have?
