    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.

    I have wondered if this guy is one of the Sirius patrol guys, these are the guys that run around northern Greenland summer and winter to put Danish boots on our island in the north.
    Where as Americans and Russians might ram their sub up thru the ice, look around and go hell no / Blyiat and then leave again.
    you may have been army and been to northern Norway on winter drills, but northern Norway is like a little refrigerator where northern Greenland is like a huge freezer.
    And if you have lost your buddy,,,,,, for sure no one will hear you scream, not even if you run around screaming for a few weeks.


    The new Danish king he also did Sirius Patrol,,,,, aside for him also being a full blow frogman with the call sign Pingo, so in that way i can respect the guy, CUZ very - very few make it thru Frogman school here.

    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.

    A little video.
    I had to speed up parts of it, you you guys will just fall asleep.
    I just hate shooting in the wind, it put a element of chance into the game, and really aside for the occasional lotto ticket i am not big on games of chance.
    Just like i would only engage in a bet when i am sure i will win it.
    Anyways here is the video.

    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.

    Well :mad: Bottle and rifle down to 50 BAR this "morning" nothing else to do but replace every other O-ring on the regulator i have not changed yet.
    At least i was not able to feel hear the air leak last night, so i must be on the right path.
    Really i should have replaced every O-ring yesterday, but i am a lazy old bastard.

    Regulated pressure still fine, so the air are not leaking after the regulator.

    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.

    Just learned today that my biggest fan ( in any way ) have left for the big pasture in the sky.
    May you frolic as long as you please Fie.

    So much love for me that seeing me made it very hard for her to remain upright, her butt became that happy seeing me.

    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.
