    What can you hunt with a sub 12 ft air rifle at close range?

    You make an excellent point! There will always be risk and where there is risk sooner or later stuff goes sideways and the result you didn’t want is the one you get.

    What can you hunt with a sub 12 ft air rifle at close range?

    I’m not even exaggerating a bit , I once threw a rock about 1/3 the size of a golf ball at a rabbit never thinking it would actually hit it. It was a bad throw and would have missed by 2 feet except the act of throwing it made the rabbit take off and it literally ran right into the path of that...

    Can someone explain digital and optical zoom?

    I’m not sure about electronic scopes, maybe they are different or something , that multiplication part isn’t the way I thought zoom worked in general. Once you reach your max optical zoom the digital takes over 3 x optical zoom produces a picture that 3 times larger or closer that doesn’t lose...

    First 50 Karma - SLS Pre-Orders get a Free Maintenance Mat

    I bought an AEA Megalodon that was my first air rifle. 50 caliber and I really like the rifle in terms of power and accuracy. AEA provides you with zero paperwork though, no manual, no nothing🤣 This can lead to much frustration when an issue pops up. If I could go back I probably would have went...

    help very new to all this and im confused!

    I suspected as much about those 4 stage pumps. I almost bought one just so I have a hand pump in the case of no electric it could come in handy. looks like I’ll be waiting until someone makes one that will function more than 2 or 3 times. I don’t think you mentioned the brand of compressor you...

    First 50 Karma - SLS Pre-Orders get a Free Maintenance Mat

    That’s exactly what I thought when I glanced past it on the main page where you see it as a thumbnail. I thought to myself no way they are giving away free airguns and sure enough, they were not 😂🤣😂 If nothing else it makes you touch on it to bring it up to realize it’s a mat and not a free gun...

    Yong Heng instead of small compressors with 12v motors.

    Have you had any experience with those GX compressors? I’ve read all your stuff in the thread and I think you use YH, honestly the bigger this thread gets the more confused I get when I reply to people , a lot of times it seems like I’m sending replies to the wrong person. The GX brand on amazon...

    Yong Heng instead of small compressors with 12v motors.

    I’m adding this to the thread. Yong Heng failed on the 5th use, it was almost done topping off a 30 min tank , temp had not exceeded 62 ever, it only got that high once, the 2nd time I used it. Plenty of cooling water volume. It was almost to 4300 psi cut off point and i noticed puff of vapor...

    AEA Possible problem with a Megalodon

    There is a transition happening when you cycle the slide, I just was messing with mine and when you cock about half way through something in that internal part is changing somehow and it makes it harder to get past that spot, if that increased on yours it might need some oil or lube of some type...

    AEA Possible problem with a Megalodon

    You are my hero. I would have never figured out what was going on, I broke a round chainsaw file tightening that rear tank. Fixed issue I had instantly. as far as hard cocking , mine sometimes is slightly harder to cock. That round steel piece attached to the internal hammer will screw out...

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    I was sort of thinking the same thing , except I hope I get 2 or 3 years out of the yong heng😂😂😂, I believe KISS is fitting as well though, I kept wondering what everyone meant by wetter water, to me that is surfactant. Thank you for mentioning Jet Dry. That makes perfect sense to me now.

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    Some coolant for an auto safe for an aluminum radiator added to water should prevent most scaling , distilled water is best option probably.

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    I don’t think you could really utilize a radiator type cooling system and get it to be very effective. It comes down to how much water you push through the system around the compressor. Even as unit gets hotter the temp swing in the water going in as it relates to coming out isn’t a lot. Just a...

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    That’s good to know, the temp did seem to shoot up too high too fast on the first 2000. It did seem better on the last 2000 which should have been harder on the pump to do now that I consider it. Thanks again, it must be a break in thing, I used it to pump up my gun tanks maybe 3 times, but it...

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    I just got the correct valve I needed yesterday and filled a 30 minute scba tank for the first time last night. I filled tank to 4000psi, I stopped after 2000 when the pump climbed above 60, let it cool off as well as carbon fiber tank had gotten rather warm. When I restarted I pointed a fan at...

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    You might want to check on how much damage the sodium that water softener adds to the water may do to aluminum. Salt will cause aluminum to oxidize. I bought a thing that is electric, i had to wrap an electric copper wire around a 16 inch section of my water supply pipe and connect this box that...

    AEA Possible problem with a Megalodon

    When I put that tank on when I took it out of the box, I screwed it on by hand and never put a wrench to it, I can grab it right now and start unscrewing it by hand. I had no idea that might be an issue, thank you I will try tightening that up . Thank you very much for your reply, I was getting...

    So what kind of water do I use to cool my yong heng compressor

    I was about to drop 75 bucks on a thing that has the little paddle switch you depress to let air into the gun. I like the looks of that high pressure regulator a lot more than that little paddle switch valve. With that you can shoot the same pressure everytime when tethered. No pressure swing at...

    help very new to all this and im confused!

    The man said he wanted to hunt medium to large game as his stated purpose for wanting a pcp, that is exactly why I bought my first one. Thats going to be hard to pull off with a .177 or 22. , he will have to get a big bore to accomplish his wish. I’m assuming he has gotten tired of shooting deer...
