    Other Cold shot accuracy

    His target was at 50 yards. A good experiment in my opinion if that’s the max range he is shooting at game. My FX Crown had a cold bore shot that was 50+ fps slow. It drove me crazy. I upped the hammer spring and now it’s only 5 FPS outside the normal velocity spread. Have you tried...

    48 yard gray squirrel

    Yeah I feel like it’s a great value. The clarity at 20x is ok but not great. That being said, it’s still hard to beat. If you want hunting footage it’s a better option than a scope mounted camera in my opinion. As far as the ballistic software, I just entered my pellets specifications and it...

    48 yard gray squirrel

    Thanks! The scope has a built in ballistic calculator and range finder. A red hash mark appears at the proper drop calculation, after ranging the target. In this case it was roughly 2 MOA from a 25 yard zero.

    48 yard gray squirrel

    Nice. Being able to make cold bore shots is critical. My cold bore shots were 75 fps slow last year. I got it worked out now though. I wish I could run the 34’s. Not quite as accurate as the 25’s in my gun.

    48 yard gray squirrel

    Ever make a shot so good you pack up and go home? I do. I like ending on a good note.

    FX Time to decide, either FX Dynamic 22/500 or FX Crown 22/500

    With airguns it’s all about the wind. More power will allow you to push heavier projectiles faster and buck the wind more. I have an FX Crown MK2 380mm, in 25 caliber. I’m very happy with it! It’s pretty much a 1- 1.25 MOA gun out to 100 yards with pellets. No real modifications have been...

    Beautiful day of squirrel hunting

    I appreciate the input. The shots of me preparing to take the shots are not in real time. They are taken after the shot from the shooting spot and position that I was in. Filming yourself while trying to stalk and being quiet and stealthy is harder than I expected. I guess that’s why there’s...

    Beautiful day of squirrel hunting

    It was 71 degrees and blue skies today here in NC. I got 3 squirrels on the local game lands and put together this quick video. I’d like to improve the quality of my videos. I think I need to add some commentary. Any other suggestions?

    What do you do with the quarry you’ve taken down?

    I mainly hunt gray squirrel. Some I eat myself. Some get swallowed whole by my exotic pets...yellow anacondas and a boa constrictor.

    Gray squirrel hunting video!

    Thanks for the kind words. Yep trigger sticks are a game changer. I only started using them last year. I’d feel handicapped if I didn’t have them now.

    Other Why so expensive?

    Of course value is subjective and perceived. That’s was my point. An impact ain’t worth 200 much less 2000 to a man happy shooting squirrels with a rusty rimfire.

    Other Why so expensive?

    1. Quality 2. Yes probably eventually but not frequently. 3. No not more accurate 4. Probably not 5. Maybe Here’s the thing about value of an air rifle or any product really. There is a point of diminishing returns. Does a $200,000 car still need an oil change? Of course. Is the top speed 4x...

    FX Flexibility of a Crown Gen 2 barrel.

    Are you shooting the springers from the same rest or bags as the crown? If you’re shooting the crown from a bipod and the springers from a bag that’s your answer. I don’t see how you could shoot good groups with any gun with 2 moa of vibration going on though.

    FX FX problems

    Can you describe the POI problems of your impact in detail? The guns you mentioned that had POI issues are not made by FX. What am I missing here? There is a lot that can go into a POI issue. And it’s not necessary exclusive to Airguns. I have a .22LR that has a cold bore shift. Temperature...

    Comp wrapping

    Ive never seen covers for airgun moderators before…Other than camo tape. Silencers on firearms get extremely hot. Covers prevent the heat waves from distorting your view. It also prevents your legs from being burned when your rifle is hanging from a sling.

    First few PCP squirrel hunt pics!

    Yep. Took about 11 squirrels over 4 days in a ~1 acre patch of game lands. It borders a swamp on 2 sides and it’s nothing but oak an hickory trees.

    First few PCP squirrel hunt pics!

    Back in high school, I loved squirrel hunting with my Beeman R9 in 177. I unfortunately sold it in college and have been shooting firearms ever since. Until now. Here’s my new FX Crown MK2 in .25. It’s currently tuned to shoot 25.39 grain pellets at 865.
