I shoot for training and recreation. All my pellet rifles are .22 cal springers. A couple scope mounted (HW97k, HW95) and a couple open sights for offhand (Cometa 400). I shoot paper to sight in the rifle at 25 yards. Then it is little green army men, shotgun shells, toy dinosaurs and an array...

Yup. Both eyes open, focus them both on the front sight and go crosseyed. The sight picture sorts itself out as you come across the target. If you are focusing on the post with both eyes crossed the whole world drops away and it's only the sight picture with your target beyond. Eye dominance is...

I shoot offhand with iron sights at shotgun shells daily. I start them about 25 yards and knock them downrange until I can't hit them anymore. I give myself 5 misses in a row. If I miss 5 times I go to another shotgun shell. They usually wind up between 50-60 yards when I miss them 5 times...

Not even possible unless things were perfect, the hog was small and you are a world class hunter. Even then it's a dangerous long shot that will probably not end well. Only a leaving shot to the back of the head at 30 yards or under would be a good shot. Even then the angle of entry would have...

No. Shoot an appropriate weapon for the game you are hunting. A .22 pellet rifle isn't it.

A hammer will fix it. It seems like it's in the turret lock. Most of them have a couple of screws you can remove to lift it off. I bet the lock pin fell out of the knob.

No problem with a little "wiggle" in there. It's not enough to be concerned with. Hatsan on the other hand needs some shims. They will flop around about 2-3 clicks in windage. The play is between the upper and lower leaf and can be tightened up with a couple layers of painters tape. The fit of...

They have soul. You dance with the rifle. When you get that familiar groove going they shoot like an extension of your body. It's more art than science. The PCP is more "accurate" from a bench off a rest. The springer is what summons the rifleman within. There is nothing like a springer...

The Sportsmatch mounts are only available from AOA I think. They are good mounts and won't slip. I use them on my D34 and they work great. I have them on every pellet rifle I shoot with a scope. I've never had a mounting issue. I have had many issues using an array of other mounts, rails and...

The hawks and coyotes will clean up a mess in a hurry around here. So will the biting flies and gnats. They will strip an elk skeleton to polished bone in 24 hours. Anything with moisture in the desert will be consumed by something pretty rapidly. If a carcass lasts more than 48 hours it's...

I've seen a few pics of some beautiful Cometa stocks. They offer a "premium" model that's really spectacular from what I'm told.

I did. As far as I know they are the only retailer for them in the U.S.

Perfect! Is that a Styrofoam ball?

Paragon. With a Diana logo on the box.

My pellet gun ships faster than your pellet gun.

The pre paid label is the way to go. Slap it on there and drop it off almost anywhere. I take mine down to the local market. The UPS picks up (almost) every day there. I think you can even drop them off at some post offices. If there is a label on it you bypass a lot of problems. Sometimes it...

My comment was directed at the group in general. Not you personally. I know in a group like this any dissenting opinion is met with some emotion. I didn't mean to offend anyone but if I did then that's OK too. The USPS has been reliable in my limited experience. I've had more issues with...

O.K. I'll stop saying words that trigger you. Have a wonderful day!

It is what it is. To deny what got us here is ridiculous. The postal service is broken by design. If we can discuss the failures but not the causes then the discussion is meaningless. It's just another exercise in denial.

It's not political. Its not liberal. It is the plan and always has been. To deny it is childish. It's what we have and we will have to deal with it.
