Following the drafting theme of the original post, for those who are interested, there's some very capable free software available as a front-end to 3d printers and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. I was a Draftsman way before the politically correct term Drafts-preson came in...

I hear you Mike, been there, done that, got the T-shirt 😁 I was taught to observe and analyze at an early age. There was a well equipped workshop (lathe, mill, etc) in the basement and I often had to make things that I couldn't afford. As a pre-teen, I needed to tap (thread) a part and asked...

How quickly we forget that we were all once newbies. Being retired and finally having time to pursue new things that I want to learn about puts me in the newbie camp regularly so I'm particularly aware of what it takes to broach a new interest. For whatever reason we decide to get into...

After reading many requests for help and making suggestions I agree that a template of questions might be useful. I've thought about making some sort of "Purchasing Guide" flow chart (if this, then that) to help people find the type of airgun that they might want to consider but gave it up...

My projectile hoard is inconvenience to photograph as, for weight reasons, it's scattered and sorted amongst several shelves, cabinets and drawers. There's enough that I need to use a spreadsheet to keep track of what's in stock for each airgun and when I should reorder. Cheers!

All functional? 😳

Too bad, you moved it along, the HW50 is a nice all around shooter. Weihrauchs are typically well made but some benefit from a bit of spit and polish. A heavier pellet might have helped tame the jolt. I wonder it the piston seal was compromised and not getting that buffering cushion of air at...

Never had to wait that long with Weihrauchs. They are almost boringly good. For fun with Chinese and Czech springers I clean out the cheap grease, lubricate with gear oil, shoot a tin and then disassemble to identify areas of concern. Rough spots are polished, burrs removed, loose parts...

There might have been a burr or a rough spot that needed to settle in. I usually allow at least 500 to 1000 shots for break-in and familiarization so I wouldn't say that your experience was unusual. I do enjoy my Weihrauch springers and PCPs, they see a lot of use. Cheers!

I have a Chrony, the V1 and a LabRadar. All three pretty much agree velocity wise. The Chrony has the usual screen alignment issues but works well in the house. The other two are Radar units and work well when there's not a lot of clutter around. I'd get the V2. Cheers!

Honeycomb cereal, suspended on a string to blow around in the breeze. Lots in a box, challengingto hit, reactive (explodes nicely) AND there's no cleanup required - it's biodegradable (if the critters don't eat it first)! Cheers!

You are right! I had to check, they are Eastern Sliders, you can tell by the calm demeanor, this one is humoring me! :rolleyes:

As mentioned above, there's lots of reasons "why" and the don't necessarily apply equally across different platforms. Experimenting will give you some answers and likely a lot more questions. 😵‍💫 Suggestion: pay attention to details, be consistent in everything, and shoot as much as you...

When I say “I’ll never outshoot this gun” I'm pointing out that the accuracy of gun will never be a limiting factor in the final results. I can manage 1/2 MOA groups (on a good day) and most of my airguns are easily capable of that within their effective range. On the flip side, I've shot...

As a kid, and now again as a retired adult, I find myself relating to Mother Nature's clock more than the human calendar. (I threw my watch away - literally - the day I retired and haven't worn one since - don't miss it a bit LOL!) The warm weather "seasons" relate to when the snow melted and...

I don't know up from down either but I found a little button in the photo editor that fixes that 😉

I had a Daisy Model 25 for a while but preferred pellets to BBs so it got traded away. I'm considering getting another Model 25 but, locally, it seems to be in short supply. Started off with a little Slavia 618 break barrel springer, still have it and shoot it occasionally. The "light springer"...

Yeah, pretty much the same here. I have spinners scattered all over my backyard range. Except for testing and tuning, paper is for winter indoor use, outdoors it's reactive targets. Love the low power airguns, I do a lot of plinking and sniping with my 10 meter target guns. Though I do have a...

The posts of some of the amazing things that people are doing with a 6-7 fpe springer like a Weihrauch HW30 was my inspiration for asking the question: What’s Applications Do You Use Your Airguns For? I’m not doubting them or suggesting that we should observe some arbitrary “rules” or...

Eye dominance is going to play a big role in aiming even if you are used to shooting with both eyes open. You mentally go with the dominant image and use the other for depth estimation and situational awareness. Think that you would need to cover the dominant eye to force the use of the other...
