    N/A Help we win!

    ...that it wasn’t fair that I was using a rifle to his pistol. I told him “Hold up, this is exactly what you asked for! You thought you were a hot sh*t pistolero & were going to take your old man using a rifle?? That was flat foolishness & now you gonna take your drubbing like a man!”. He said...

    Somebody did a bad thing.

    Unless I missed something in the story, all he ended up doing was putting a hole in a window. While the ability to do significant damage was there, at the end of the day a Red Ryder would have put a hole in the window as well. This guy is part of what I call my 10% rule. That is, 1 out of...

    N/A Help we win!

    Sorry guys, “tis the season” & all that. The house is finally emptied out so I have time pursue my more nebulous interests. Edit: To potentially save you a bit of a read, I do not post the match results in this message. I got tired of typing & will post the match results in a subsequent post...

    Chair gun

    I find Chair gun clunky compared to some of the more modern apps but I still use it from time to time to crossreferance.

    FWB What distance to zero for field target competition.

    Let me preface this by saying, I have not shot a FT match yet but do plan to start in the spring. I have however given it some thought but at this point it is mostly a mental exercise. Since in HFT you are not allowed to touch the turrets duing a match you will want to minimize the amount of...

    Just messin around

    It has significnatly exceeded them! I have never shot a recoiless springer before so my surprise when I fired the 1st shot can not be overstated. Superb trigger, buttery smooth action, zero recoil & only the slightest auggestion of vibration. It was truly love at 1st shot :) I havent made...

    Just messin around

    Thats some fine shooting! While I currently ownmostly high powered airguns there is a lot to be said for the more sedate ones. Ive been genuinly enjoying my new to me 777 & Diana 65. So much so that I intend to expand my collection with more <12fpe guns.

    N/A Bye Bye Scopes!

    For me its not about the money. My wife has had her eyes done twice, but rather the potential consequences.. Before surgery you have to sign a waiver that if they mess it up you could walk out blind & have no recourse (they warned you). Sure they have done millions of procedures now & have it...

    N/A Bye Bye Scopes!

    Funny thing about the human condition, we always want what we dont have. While I used irons exclusively in my youth (My great uncle taught me to shoot & insisted I stick with irons) as soon as I could I moved to scopes for better precision. Now as I travel into the autumn of my years & with my...

    What did you buy yourself for Christmas?

    My wife would probably tell you that in my world every day is Christmas, I have a nasty habit of buying something if I want it. On a postive note, I've been doing it long enough that its seldom that I buy something (though I have had a bad run since I joined this forum). Most recently & likely...

    Wish this Forum had this for "Newbs" (the un or newly initiated).......

    While you may be the OP, this thread had made a segue to peoples reactions to OPs whom do not try to find answers. My reply was in the generalized sense towards OPs who fall in that category. While I applaud the spirit for your OP I fear such a resource would be of use to a minority of users...

    Lets see those pistols turned carbine!!!

    While I have been impressed & amazed at some of the fine customization y'all have done I want to go on record to say that y'all have blasphemed against the pistolero gods & will have to do penance in airgunning purgatory... ;) :ROFLMAO:

    Wish this Forum had this for "Newbs" (the un or newly initiated).......

    While I am always happy to help anyone that asks, I do understand the annoyance. It has become the custom of many to expect others to rush to their aide instead of spending a few moments of due dilligance doing a bit of research. Had the OP started with "I tried to search" or "I suck at...

    Best binoculars under $100

    10 or so years ago I wanted a new pair of binoculars & mentioned to my wife my intention to buy some. Christmas was around the corner so she told me to wait & sure enough Christmas morning there was a new pair of Nikon 8-15x25s I think they were. She was very proud of herself & I of course...

    Crosman Evolving backwards PcP -> Multi pump

    My advice.. Sell NOTHING!! In the autumn of my years I find myself buying back all the guns I ever sold. Well.. most, some I said good riddance too. I find myself rotating what I am in the mood for much more than when I was younger. Rimfire today, PCP tomorrow, BPCR the next & springer the...

    N/A Want a 10 meter comp pistol

    Air Venturi is probably your best bet for a new "reasonably priced" competition level pistol. Some other alternatives to see if you like that style of shooting would be the Daisy 7xx series of pistols & IZH46 if you can find one used. they will unfortunately be close to the Air Venturi in price...

    Umarex New rifle

    FedEx is bad in my area too. So bad that i will specify they ship it another way. UPS is hit/miss but USPS is the super star. They always do well.
