    FX FX Walnut

    High grade walnut is hard to come by anymore. There’s just not much available relative to demand. Look at the world of PB’s. You don’t see wood stocks hardly at all anymore. Any PB with quality wood on it is either old or a high dollar custom job. I am not justifying what is being charged for...

    Air gun hunting

    Biased of course, but Idaho. All nongame, small game and big game are legal to pursue with an air gun. There are minimum caliber restrictions for turkey and all big game but they make sense, not some bureaucratic guess at what sounds good. Plus a large variety of game to choose from.

    25 cal slugs vs. 22LR

    Compete accuracy wise or overall performance wise? Big difference between the two

    FX New to PCP

    Tuning info is all over YouTube but there is a lot of good info here on the forum. Tuning will be your best friend with any PCP, especially with an Impact. Do not get frustrated learning it. Once you understand what it is you are actually doing, the process is fairly straight forward.

    Tuning Hammer spring preload??

    FX FxM4 27 grn zan slug tune

    I will open with the fact I am an FX junkie. They jsut work for me so what I am about to say is from an objective view. Sharing tunes is a marketing ploy by FX. It doesn’t work well and they know it. Yet, we still hear it being uttered even from the dealers and FX themselves from time to time...

    A beautiful day to go shooting

    We had great weather here. Ground squirrels are out in decent numbers and I had the afternoon all set to go shoot some. Then life happened. Well business happened. Didn’t get to go but will try again tomorrow afternoon. After tomorrow the rain returns.

    Tuning Hammer spring preload??

    I changed my Maverick Compact 25 to a 22 600mm barrel. I put a stock 22 hammer weight in and went to work. somewhere in the forum I have an older thread about why wouldn't the gun shoot 25's at 900 fps. I ended up putting the 25 cal hammer weight back in with the 22 barrel to achieve decent...

    FX Impact m3 .22 compact settings

    I guess what your definition of “one hole group” is will determine your frustration level. If you are demanding that all your shots go into one pellet hole you will be tuning until you go crazy. Even at 25 yards. even with your gun tuned to it’s absolute best, variance in your trigger control...

    FX Impact m3 .22 compact settings

    Whenever I see someone asking about tunes and they mention high velocity spreads my first inclination is to look at the hammer adjustments. Set your first reg @ 160 bar, your second to around 100 bar. Then set the macro wheel in the middle range. Anywhere in the middle will do. Now set the micro...

    FX Fx Impact m4 compact 25 or dynamic compact 25 cal

    My compact 30 Panthera came with a 300cc bottle up front. I changed it out for a 480. The 300 was too limiting for me.
