Thanks!!

I have had some fun in the past trying to use a fork getting toast out of an uncooperative toaster, not popping up. No more!! Or the time I got the wrong 2-way switch for a fan, wired it up and heard a humming sound. Had a party, and my knowledgeable neighbor took a look and said "you need a...

Hi Great thread. I have a current purchase quote from Mitch for a new ICON MCH -6 230V/E1/60Hz-14A compressor. Have a request into my local Electrician ( licensed, insured and “ honest “) to install a new 230V/15 A circuit In my Garage. The Circuit Breaker panel is about 8-10 feet from my...

Yeah, my Optometrist said the same. She had some paitients get the more expensive lenses and they complained. It doesn’t always work. Apparently It can be a bit tricky/delicate proceess and my VSP doesn’t cover it anyway. If/when I do have the cateract surgery, I’m going with normal surgery...

“There is a point of diminishing returns when you own many PCPs. Particularly if doing your own trouble shooting because for “some” myself included it becomes work. Regular maintenance I understand. “ Well said Luis. This captures what I was trying to covey. Fewer can be better, and I am...

Yeah, I can see that you make a good case for the above. It does help that you have excellent tuning and gunsmith skills, which can make all of this more enjoyable. But, I can understand the other side of this as well, having been very frustrated with fixing ( or breaking) air rifles over the...

Steve, I found your post and reread the entire thread last evening. I also enjoyed our discussion yesterday on compressors. As we talked about our mutual hobby, it occurred to me that we have similar circumstances. I have seven pretty high end PCPs. Two RAWs ( HM1000x .22, TM1000x .177) two...

Wonderful Ed. A 40Y 200! We never expected this When the challenge began in February 2022.

Ha ha. As Mike says, you have to have a good air rifle. Mike N shot a 55Y 198-18X. Now that’s some shooting. How in the world can anyone even hit that small 10 ring at 55Y? Never mind hitting it that many times! Amazing! Gotta love this hobby. Very addictive.

...condition, and slowly squeezing trigger and following thru. It all came together today. 40Y Challenge: 192-12X 194-10X 198-14X ( Leaderboard ) ***This is the best I ever shot/scored at 40 Yards. Pass the Old Forrester 1920 tonight. ***😉 30Y Masters: 195-10X 196-12X 198-15X ( Ed, can I...

Good idea on the shatter-proof eye protection. Not sure if you saw my earlier post/experience in this thread, but I need to find some good, clear shatter proof eye protection. I can bring them to the range with me, keep on the bench, and use when I am filling or removing connections from the...

My wife and I both just had our annual eye exams. Both of us have progressive lenses with stigmatism's. After VSP insurance the ”out of pocket” costs were $1100, for just the lenses at Triangle Visions. We kept our old frames. Looking forward to Cataract surgery in a few years.

It has to be the new ‘drum stool seat’ you bought.🤗 The .22 Crown likes the 18.1g JSB/FX pellets at 900 FPS. Awesome!

Got out today early. Shot a total of eight cards. Wind was light early at 8:40, picked up over the next three hours. Hot and humid. HW100 .22 caliber 30 Y Challenge 189-6X ( photo not shown) 190-12X 191-8X 194-11X ( LEADERBOARD) Finally got a good 190ish score with the HW100. EPG tuned...

Chris, fwiw You can use the .22 caliber plug for this informal competition. But, I get it too with using the .177 gauge. Tom

Shot a few 30Y Challenge and Masters cards on Friday. Revere .22 Midas Tac 6X 24 x 50mm Very windy, switching directional changes FX 15.89g Atomic Velocity: 875 FPS range 194-13X (30Y Leaderboard )

No, the three year Amazon - Assurion warranty covers three years from date of purchase. In year one you can use the GX Manufacturer’s warranty. it really boils down to an individual’s comfort level in fixing simple vs. “not so simple repairs.” Plus ‘simple‘ for many may not be ‘simple’ for...

For $69 three year Amazon-Assurion warranty would be a no brained for me with a Compressor. Especially, since several on this thread have received ‘full refunds’ with their claims. re. Expensive Appliances and warranties - Jim, I thinks this is a ‘depends’ kind of user experience. As...

That’s superb shooting at 40y. Every time I move my target stand back from 30-40y, I start quietly talking ( cursing really) to myself. I start thinking, “Tom, why don’t you just shoot some tight groups and be content with that.” 😉

Mike - I knew he was sandbagging us. Marvin never turns in a bad card and is very humble. Great combination.
