Never thought about life like this before....Life is about the cherry-picked moments.
I know it depends on the area and humidity at the time, but when I was filling the SCBA bottle I was bleeding water off from the CS4, the copper coalescing filter and a few times from the JB Alpha Filter.I aim for filling my guns from bottles/tanks
Every time the hhumidity drops to 50% or below (not often here, except in winter) I fill everything I have:
Tanks, bottles, gun reservoirs
This, it seems to me, ensures that I have a supply of the driest air that can be gotten in this area.
FWIW
I respect the CS4 moisture filtering and have added the little blue filter as well.
It makes sense to me, but I have no empirical date to back it up

I tried the 20 gr slugs in mine and .. i mean I didn’t get a chance to shoot at 50+ .. just wanted to see how the gun would sound/act. For reference I settled at 130 r 2,12 hs running 18 grain pellets at about 875 fps.So I was watching Ted’s video on the Panthera Hunter. Being new to this hobbie/ sport, i am not really sure who he is, but seems to be a player when it comes to FX and what not. So during the video he talks about how FX told him the hunter is not a slug shooter. I was looking at the specs on the FX sight and noticed what they were advertising-
4,5 (.177) N/A.
5,5 (.22) up to 54 J – 40 ft/lbs with 21gr slug at 930fps.
6,35 (.25) up to 96 J – 71 ft/lbs with 43.5gr slug at 855 fps.
7,62 (.30) up to 145 J – 107 ft/lbs with 68gr slug at 840 fps.
My point being, why are they advertising it as a slug potential shooter when according to Ted, they supposedly clearly told him it isn’t that type of gun. And to be dead honest, Ted found that the potential for slugs really only made sense at 900fps.
Hopefully FX is not over advertising their product. I wouldn’t want to have much to do with them if this is the case, but hey, what do I know or understand being new. Thoughts?
That's the truth. I think.Yes, it is the same platform just different bottle locations. I don’t know why they would confuse people by marketing it something else
That would be me. I set up my survey instrument at each station and shot in each target to the nearest .1'. I'll try to do it next year also.Thanks Art.
Looks like my memory was poor on the far one too, 102, not 104-105.
Another interesting tidbit....i asked one of the lane officials if they dragged measuring tape or used a laser rangefinder and was told they were actually surveyed to determine distance.
Naturally!I did place my order before posting![]()
