I also shoot from a spare bedroom window. The mirage can be managed some by reducing the size of the opening. I use 2” styrofoam to cover the open window with a 6”x10” section cut out to shoot thru. This also helps keep the room at a comfortable temperature. UjI shoot out of our bedroom window when it gets cold.
It helps reduce mirage if I turn on the bathroom fan to reduce the amount the amount of warm air going out the window.
Where are there ISSF related shooting clubs in the US? I was an ROTC university instructor in the late 80s for a short while in MN before I was pulled out to go to Desert Storm. I did ROTC as a prior service cadet in Iowa in the late 70s. I never heard of a rifle or pistol team at either place. Maybe the pool of prospective youth shooters exposed to the sport is pretty small compared to what the Euro and Asian countries have at hand.That’s the sad part. Wishing you could live in an area that offered these types of shooting disciplines. I have shot my whole life, and though I kinda of knew it existed, I was not exposed to it. My daughter on the other hand happened to go to a HS that had a very good MCJROTC rifle team. She tried out and made the team. I got to experience this whole world of Olympic discipline of shooting sports. It’s out there and it’s big. Just flying under the radar. Unfortunately you need to live around where it’s offered and know it even exists in your area. Most all if not all is focused on young shooters in school. Hardly any opportunity for adults, though 10M pistol being the exception. Olympic/ISSF shooting sports (rifle & pistol) are such a pure and elegant realm of shooting bud t most are doing it on their own in the garage or basement and don’t have a local club option. Really sad.
Thank you, sir. I've got 10 more ammo boxes delivering next week for the pew pew stuff.Actually looks pretty good, and you haven’t seen my firearm ammo storage!
I tried various Zans, various AVS calibers and grains, and other variants. NSAs performed significantly better in my setup, but every setup is different.Avs is a better choice the lead composition is softer so they are easier to stuff into the magazine. The nsa have antimony in them which makes the lead harder and the avs are pure lead so they are a little softer. This info was procured from Kelly @ Krazykool who has helped me through the ins and outs of both my k1 and gk1. I’ve used both and he is correct. The 253 fit better but the 254 shot better. Also the zan are pretty good. A little silicone lube also goes a long way.
How did you do the graphics on the mod?Must haves? I consider pretty much everything shown on my Impacts below are must haves for me . . . it's part of the fun of owning an Impact:

But if I had to pick just one thing I couldn't do without, it would be . . . the STUD quick-loading system and magazines - once you use those, you'll never, ever want to load your pellets one by one ever again.
I have boiled it down to one of those two rifles for my first PCP. Which one would you say is better overall. I do mostly plinking but i see more hunting in my future.

Any particular type you'd recommend?Also try adding a few drops of pure silicone oil into the guns fill port, it may help, may not but worth a try!
lol damn.. get a full auto pcp and cut down a tree
A large needle is a much better tool. As described above, stab the o-ring, and pry/roll it out of the groove.Thanks, ill keep trying with my brass picks
