Bear in mind that it could also be a store policy geared more to prevent shoplifting than anything else. After all, BBs and pellets are a prime item for young males, and sadly they are probably the group most likely to shoplift. And once they have such a policy they have to enforce it on...

I don't mind the slow speed, as the Shoebox is good to run on its own with no supervision. I do other chores like mowing the lawn or such or watching a football game on TV while it does its thing quietly in the basement, and then I show up after it is done to unhook everything. I calculate...

I am a Shoebox user as well, and I added a 9L Acecare tank to my "system" last year and really like it. I did not get the Acecare valve - I went with the Saber Tactical valve and their adaptor, as I wanted something more robust on mine. I basically use the 9L as an "air bank" and use that to...

Ok - that makes a lot more sense . . . thanks for clarifying it. I appreciate knowing it comes form direct experience in the field. I'll admit have not used mine out past about 50 yards yet, but the data I have from it with .22 pellets seems very robust, with good usable S/N values (it's even...

Sorry, but again much of this is just wrong . . . your description of the distance as being a "best guess" oversimplifies the fact that it is a mathematically calculated property using known physics and an accurately measured distance to the projectile via Doppler radar (speed is calculated off...

We are all entitled to our opinions, but sometimes we need to experience something to truly understand it. Having experienced the added things that can be done with a radar chronograph (at least with the Lab Radar unit I have), I have to respectfully disagree with your statement, as at least...

Regulators are sensitive to tank pressure. They are not proportional, and will stay close to the set point as the pressure increases towards the maximum they can take, but they are likely to run a little higher at the very high pressures - not massively so, but enough to notice; maybe up to a...

Centercut is correct, but also the Air Wolf does not have a built in chronograph. It is an electronic gun, but no onboard chronograph. It is the Delta/Alpha Wolf models that have the built in chrony . . . .

The Huben K1 can be fully adjusted up and down externally - it can even go all the way down to zero, allowing one to even take the action apart (if needed) leaving the main reservoir fully pressurized. Pretty cool feature.

I have a 22 sidewinder and it is quite accurate, but I have to say that if I were picking a gun out of the ones I have on hand for competition it would likely be my fourth choice. My Huben comes ahead of it as the trigger is so much better. Then I have a bottled LW barreled Marauder that is...

I think the biggest issue with what you are describiing is that the thing that drives most of the variability shot-to-shot is very different between PBs and airguns. With an airgun, it is the gun that controls (including variability of that control) the speed/power of each shot. But with a PB...

I do not shoot competitively, but I love to test things, gather data, and learn. What I have found from my testing - and I do have the TRobb sizer - is that resizing larger pellets down does not yield the same results as sorting for and shooting pellets of the same head diameter. I simply...

Neiding, You are doing pretty well with your approach. While heat is the enemy of hand pumps, heat in the base is the problem with respect to moisture - or more specifically water vapor - in the air charge. If you do what you are doing AND keep the count of pumps per session under roughly 50...

Let's start with the technique you are using when you hand pump . . . if you are doing it "right" moisture should not be much of an issue. How fast do you pump - as in how many seconds total from one stoke to the other- and how many strokes do you take in a fill session?

I use this lift table as a low cosst compromise. It also works well to manage height changes between different guns. It does not do side to side, but the bag can easily slide on the surface of it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KDXJGX9/

It sounds like you are all set, but I'll share what I use for my 500cc M18x1.5 regulated fill set up. It is nice and compact and works great, and is fully adjustable. I got it from Wes at Airgun Archery Fun in Canada, and it is not expensive either. A great bit of kit...

I really like this, and think I found the plans - they call for longer posts that get buried in the ground or cemented in place. I like that yours is moveable, if needed. Do you think you gave up anything on stability this way?

I've just caught up on this thread having been away from it for a few days, and like Mike I am massively impressed. Fantastic work all around on this! I think the "Zero Angle" feature will be outstanding for those of us with easily adjustable guns like the Huben's - I'm always shooting at...

OK - I've now been playing around with fitting the data and comparing the resulting equations for 3rd, 4th, and 5th power polynomials for several days, and have learned a lot. I do think I need to get some longer trace data to work with, as all I have so far that is "good" has the first point...

I adjust mine all the time. I have a .22 that is set up for pellets (JTS 18.1s) and my "full power " setting is about 940 fps. I then dial it down as appropriate for the shot at hand - and if it is a chipmunk close to the house that could be as low as ~350 fps. I simply put a sharpie mark on...
