I had a leak in my HFT500 and found air coming from the barrel and transfer port. The firing valve was not holding air. I cleaned it up and used some polish to seal it up and that worked. But I ordered a new valve and seat for it. After fitting the new parts it leaks worse than ever. Is there...

Looks like I need a new valve block and piston. I can’t imagine how many shots it takes to ware out but the valve has a depression that apparently should not be there. And the piston is worn down. It’s only about 100 dollars in parts to make it all brand new. Air leaks out the barrel if I...

I had a bit of an experience this week. Sunday night I was saying goodnight to my airgun . Just to tuck it in and read a bed time story. When I noticed it was empty. I tried to pump it up but it would not take or hold air. I cocked it and it pumped up . But when I pulled the trigger it lost the...

To join the range in West Liberty I will be renewing my NRA membership.

I am making some progress with the field target club in Iowa. The Facebook group is up to twelve members. I post up different content everyday. Just short videos about a specific topic. Last week was airgun history. This week is big bore airguns. Just short videos to keep people interested...

Thank you very much . I am going to start next week with history stuff just to mix it up. Feel free to post up pictures or anything at all… within community guidelines.

Thanks I am up to 12 members and some new people joined from out of state. I really appreciate that. Those people are from the forum most likely. So I will start Monday with questions. Loaded questions but just to get some ideas

Im OK with that. Hunting and pest control are very different than target shooting. Personally I prefer the controlled environment of target shooting.

Pesting is a thing airguns are very good at but the photos of dead birds gets people upset.

I went from land speed racing a motorcycle to RC cars. Much less work.

Thanks at first I focused on Field target and I could see I need to expand to go the distance . History is a very good idea. I only post on Monday - Friday and I think consistent topics are good. Replicas are also part of that. Winter in Iowa a a big deal. So indoor is a great idea . I...

I have talked with most of the members personally. I am recruiting from the local RC car racing crowd. They are competitive and they like to tinker. Most hunt and have firearms. So that my pool .

I recently started a Facebook group to get local people from eastern Iowa involved in airguns and Field target. So far I have nine members and I post up information and videos every day. Just five to ten minutes videos hoping people will not get sick of it . Any suggestions on content ? Things...

I have been shooting springers since 2011. I shoot field target Open WFTF with a Tx200. My advice in a springer is to always be exactly consistent with the hold. I put my finger on the screw hole on the side and make sure my for hand is always in the exact same position. And I pinch the grip...

What is accurate mean? I have to ask because Saturday I was doing all sorts of shooting and testing. My Beeman under lever has been giving me a fit but after some tuning and pellet testing I got a full mag in a group under a quarter from 20 yards. And was very happy. Then I pulled out my...

I also bought two XS46U rifles one in .22 on in .177 from Flying Dragon airguns. For the price they are really nice guns. And Mike was so much fun to work with while tuning it for Field Target.

Getting ready to get another TX200. The mkiii I have is tuned to 12 ft lb and is really nice to shoot. I want a hunter carbine so I can shoot HFT and I can add a moderator for the back yard.

I’m trying to get people to join this Facebook group. That way we can see where everyone lives . Once we get twenty people we can make a circle and start looking for a place to shoot. We must have three things 1 safe place with parking. 2 a spot o pot 3 Insurance. We can’t just go to...

Just an update on the club. I have seven or eight members that have joined the Facebook group. They mostly live in the Cedar Rapids or south east Iowa area. At this point I am just getting people interested in airgun activity together. Once we have a group of enthusiasts we can approach a...

It’s ok I have been using it since 2011 . Only problem I ran into was it holds water when it rains. I don’t usually carry the sand bag
