MATCH DAY! I hope y’all don’t mind my verbose posts as I wax eloquent, but I find the story is always at least as interesting as the facts. If you are only interest in the facts & have neither the time nor patience to wade through my musings read the spoiler. December 24th dawned warm &...

Unless I missed something in the story, all he ended up doing was putting a hole in a window. While the ability to do significant damage was there, at the end of the day a Red Ryder would have put a hole in the window as well. This guy is part of what I call my 10% rule. That is, 1 out of...

WOW... the antics of "Gun plumbers" will never cease to amaze me. Ive got a cpl similar stories but this one beats them by a mile! LOL

Sorry guys, “tis the season” & all that. The house is finally emptied out so I have time pursue my more nebulous interests. Edit: To potentially save you a bit of a read, I do not post the match results in this message. I got tired of typing & will post the match results in a subsequent post...

I find Chair gun clunky compared to some of the more modern apps but I still use it from time to time to crossreferance.

Let me preface this by saying, I have not shot a FT match yet but do plan to start in the spring. I have however given it some thought but at this point it is mostly a mental exercise. Since in HFT you are not allowed to touch the turrets duing a match you will want to minimize the amount of...

It has significnatly exceeded them! I have never shot a recoiless springer before so my surprise when I fired the 1st shot can not be overstated. Superb trigger, buttery smooth action, zero recoil & only the slightest auggestion of vibration. It was truly love at 1st shot :) I havent made...

Thats some fine shooting! While I currently ownmostly high powered airguns there is a lot to be said for the more sedate ones. Ive been genuinly enjoying my new to me 777 & Diana 65. So much so that I intend to expand my collection with more <12fpe guns.

For me its not about the money. My wife has had her eyes done twice, but rather the potential consequences.. Before surgery you have to sign a waiver that if they mess it up you could walk out blind & have no recourse (they warned you). Sure they have done millions of procedures now & have it...

Funny thing about the human condition, we always want what we dont have. While I used irons exclusively in my youth (My great uncle taught me to shoot & insisted I stick with irons) as soon as I could I moved to scopes for better precision. Now as I travel into the autumn of my years & with my...

My wife would probably tell you that in my world every day is Christmas, I have a nasty habit of buying something if I want it. On a postive note, I've been doing it long enough that its seldom that I buy something (though I have had a bad run since I joined this forum). Most recently & likely...

While you may be the OP, this thread had made a segue to peoples reactions to OPs whom do not try to find answers. My reply was in the generalized sense towards OPs who fall in that category. While I applaud the spirit for your OP I fear such a resource would be of use to a minority of users...

While I have been impressed & amazed at some of the fine customization y'all have done I want to go on record to say that y'all have blasphemed against the pistolero gods & will have to do penance in airgunning purgatory... ;) :ROFLMAO:

While I am always happy to help anyone that asks, I do understand the annoyance. It has become the custom of many to expect others to rush to their aide instead of spending a few moments of due dilligance doing a bit of research. Had the OP started with "I tried to search" or "I suck at...

Hmm I am no fan of red dots, in fact I only have one on one of them evil black rifles & havnt shot it in years. Now I want to pull it out to see what I see. I got new glasses a cpl weeks ago & the opotmetrist said my astigmatism had gotten worse. Will have to check it out..
