    50 Yd. 177 Challenge

    Curious about the fwb 800x ability to reach out to 50 yards. I guess the question would be, is the field 800 tuned the same as the 10 meter, same hammer/spring and internals? A chrono of each would tell. Jump to 5:40 minutes for test fire at 41 meters, interesting.

    New Neighbors!

    IMO, do not say a thing, once the cat is out of the bag, you are done. And you will wish you never said anything. If either one of them is into airguns, chances are they are not. They will know what you are doing, and be fine with it, without talking about it. If you are legal , there is...
