  Sort of related.
  
  My computer chair was collapsing on me in spite of only being a year old.
  
  
  
  So i went looking for a better used chair, and found this one.
  
  
  
  Only adjustable in height, but still able to "kick back" in it, and i often need that when the stupidity of the world overpower me, and i have to push myself a little away from the screen and shake my head in disbelief.
  
  I do like the reto look of the cast ALU frame on it, could also be the blue color that give me a fifties feel about it.
  
  PS. No matter what direction i aim a camera in my living room, a gun case or two will sneak into frame

  Seem like next week will be a pew - pew week.
  winds down under 10 MPH, so it dont get much better in Denmark.
  And i will have the range to myself, CUZ my friend will be playing painter at the owner of a local Land Rover dealership where he still get his cars fixed even if he do not drive land rover any more.
  
  Top graph temperatures in deg C ( so seemingly not a single summer day in view )
  Bottom graph is the wind, and in the forecast that is the expected average wind in M/s but 4 M/s = 8. something MPH
  
  
  
  My M8 will leave a key for me, so i can say hello to my two doggo friends there.

  I was afraid it would end like this.
  It seem like this site are not strong enough to carry my presence, and in spite of me greatly improving ( if i have to say so myself ) in the past few decades on other fora, it seem like some of my flaws are pushing rules or peoples or admins buttons too hard.
  So after several warnings now and post deletions lately it is probably best if i take my leave.
  
  So i will log out now, and only come here as a reader in the future so as not to aggravate anyone.
  
  Best wishes - lead and wind everyone.

  It is generally not easy to really impress me ( in a good way ) as a person, and i absolutely do not have too high thoughts about my own people in their current state.
  
  BUT ! Some times i am forced to bow my head in respect, for instance to a guy like Asbjørn Bruun.
  The guy just finished as the first ever on ski the Iditarod Trail Invitational.
  
  

  

  
  

  

  
  
  There are people with a team of dogs pulling them that do not finish that race.
  
  Danish guy: Dogs ???? we dont need no stinking dogs.

  @OldSpook
  December 7 have always been a sort of holy day for me, even if i have no dirent national or other tie, then that day is of significance to my people none the less, well the few remaining honorable and caring ones of us.
  Mind you most other here are clueless even though they are big on things like Halloween and Denmark have for decades hosted the largest outside of the US July 4 celebrations, though that too are now just a small thing as our two countries have drifted apart and many dont care where they come from or where their family members went back in the day.

  Seem like i am also a pretty decent long distance pellet slinger.
  
  After playing a little today with the slugs, and the wind dying down a little, i figured why not try pellets too.
  But i did change from 86 M to the even Steven 80 M distance.
  
  Mind you, you still had to pay attention to the wind, at least if you wanted to hold all of your shots on the 2" target.
  As it can be seen in the picture that was also true with the slugs.
  Also you have to remember my wind indicators are leaves on trees at targets and then the tall grass in the field.
  
  So i paused long range for a hour focussing on 50 M where a shot a 50 yard BR paper, but i am not going to share that as really it was no good at all.
  So when the wind had died down a little more i changed to 80 M again for the remainder of my targets, and i quickly learned that the speed i shot 50 M with, it was no good at 80 M.
  Actually i ended up shooting the JSB heavy pellets as speeds i dident even think worked for them, but at 80 M it was sort of OK.
  Sort off, CUZ i still had the wind to work with and the ever changing POI on my Maverick i have to chase around with the scope.
  
  BUT ! all things considering i am still pretty happy with the 400 slugs and few 100 pellets i spent at the range today.
  
  
  
  I still wish i was able to shoot heavier stuff, even if it was just the next up caliber of .22

  At first horrible day at the range today, mainly to blame on the wind that was not at all nice, so as i shoot a little up hill and the wind was spiraling my shots would drift sideways or also up and down.
  The latter compounded by the Damn FX regulator, which i now just can not get to shoot the same speed, or i can get it to do that within very few FPS, but then 3-4-5 shots and BAM and i get a shot that is either slower by 10 - 20 FPS or faster by 10 - 20 FPS.
  So i am getting one of the new FX regulators, and when it is installed i am so over FX rifles, and heading for another brand.
  
  Mind you once the wind died down as it began to rain a little, well i think i shot my best BR 50 card with the maverick.
  But it took more shots than are on the paper as i had to go off target now and then to get past one of those god damn randop sped shots, and then i could go back on the paper for a few shots / sighters.
  So i have no ides how long you have to shoot a BR 50 paper in competition, but i took a long while compensating for the random speed shots, and then of course i also had to pay attention to the wind / the 1 wind vane i put up ( right next to target and made up of a strip of duct tape on a stick )
  Anyway the paper look like this.
  
  
  
  I will update with a video of a few 82 M shots at 2" shoot N see targets, not really nice in the wind, but it what it is.

  Not pneumatic.
  But still for a gun shy nation like Denmark, having a guy that can shoot 125 clay pigeons in a row in competition, thats not half bad CUZ it do not happen often for any shooter as i understand.
  Same guy got silver in the last Olympics, and he is shooting for gold the next time.

  Okay, got my picks in and have changed a couple of O-ringe on my Maverick, one in the regulator and the bottle one too.
  On the face of it that seem to have worked, but i do not throw my arms in the air just yet, maybe tomorrow then the rifle have been overnight and the gauges still say the same pressures.
  
  I will say who ever at FX that install those O-rings in such silly places, well they do not pay the person enough.
  I will encourage FX think more about the people that are to maintain their rifles when they design in the future.
  The 10X 1,5 mm ring at the base of the regulator hole, that should not be there, it should be on the regulator body itself, and so be 10 X more easy to replace.
  Same go for the bottle O-ring, why is it down there in the hole in the bottle fitting, it should be on the male part on the rifle.

  I finally got one, and with my #2 rifle the AGT Vulcan 3
  
  I was dialing a little back and forth on it, and dident like shooting pellets at 50 M, so even if i have said the V3 will just see pellets from now on, well i think i will just have to admit that i am a slug addict.
  
  So i was shooting the 13 gr Zan slugs at the long range, and since we found the range finder it is verified by leupold to be 71 M as i was shooting from a table in front of our shot shed in the field.
  Anyway was shooting at a bunch of stuff in the back of the field, until i saw a fly land on my week old cardboard shoot N see target backing.
  So i figured, well you just shot a shot that was 2 inches low and 1/2 inch Left of where you aimed, so using that i took aim at the fly.
  And i whacked it good, well good enough there was fly splatter beside the .177 hole.
  
  
  
  We also agreed upon making some benches to shoot from not in out shed, but way further back, this will give me +120 - 125 M to the far end of the field, and then we will have to figure something 50 M for my friend, but i think that could be made at the end of the 20 foot container in the field used for driver tower when the boys race their big RC cars.
  So gotta come up with a way to make 2 fixed bench rest tables for us, CUZ both of us are not happy shooting from the picnic tables we use now, not least seat being way too high VS the level of the rifle on the table.

  I mashed up a lot of air today, 12 L bottle 130 bar to 320 in 20 minutes.
  Okay a little more CUZ at 250 BAR we learned putting compressor on long cheap extension chord,,,,, not smart. So that cost us a 16 A fuse.
  So the wanna be electrician whipped up a adapter cable to tap into 1 phase of the 3 in the 440 V plug on my friends wall, and of course using proper garden hose gauge wire, so no problems once pumping resumed.
