    30-Yard Challenge

    I've found not only do different moderators make a difference, but the same moderator with a different exit bore. Which kind of reinforces what Greg is saying about the whoosh of air having an effect on the pellet flight path. I did some experimenting with my STO Sarissa and tried the...

    A proper bench

    Was using a kitchen table and my wife decided she wanted it in the house, so I was forced to build one :cool:. And it is awesome.

    Daystate Blackwolf Pricing. Help me with the math.

    How much do ya'll think the blackwolf is worth paying for? I mean, it's a nice airgun with a lot of cool features, but what's a more reasonable asking price if we were to speculate?

    Introducing the Daystate Black Wolf!

    I think we all need to rebel and not buy any until they slash the price. Supply and demand :cool:

    Daystate Blackwolf or ghost carbin

    Something I'm curious about is the wood stock of the blackwolf and the effects of atmosphere and humidity on consistency across time. I don't think you need to worry about this with the Ghost bc of the construction of it. Is this a moot point, am I overthinking this?

    Introducing the Daystate Black Wolf!

    Apparently laminate takes a lot more time and effort to do which contributes to the cost difference. I called AOA and asked the same thing and the dude on the phone pretty much agreed that the other 2 stocks didn't really offer any performance difference from the baseline carbon gray. You can...

    Head shot thread

    Pic and video dump. Been testing the heavier 28.55 gr JSB going 710 fps and they hit hard! The 4th picture was from using an 18 gr AEA going about 840 fps and they zip right through. Using a BRK Sahara .22

    JSB 33.96 accuracy in .22 caliber

    Looking back on my test results with the JSB Grands 28.55 gr, those did decent. Certainly nothing like the 34gr. And funny enough, they had the same ft lbs of energy. It's just crazy how barrel harmonics work :unsure: I might try them on a squirrel. Still need to try the pellets recommended...

    Gracias, planeo probar algunos de esos. Me gustan los balines de diabalo JSB 25.39, disparan muy bien en mi arma. Le daré una oportunidad al Hades.

    JSB 33.96 accuracy in .22 caliber

    Was doing some reading about how slugs like a clean barrel. Decided to try that and use a really loose hold. Also decided to weight sort. These are very inconsistent! But a big improvement from what I was getting initially. One thing I noticed was it would either vertically string or there would...

    JSB 33.96 accuracy in .22 caliber

    You know, that is interesting. My theory is there's not much hydrostatic shock that just shuts them down. So while a brain shot makes them dead, unless you really sever the spinal cord or pin point blow their brain stem out, they're going to thrash around a bit. It's one of the reasons why I am...

    It's not necessarily a problem, but I'm not opposed to trying more pellets :D
