    FX FX BOSS bottle QUESTION

    I also have a .30 cal boss with a large bottle. I think it is 700CC. I think I can remove my bottle without degassing, just likeI do with my RAW HM1000x. Can anyone clarify? Tx…

    30-Yard Challenge

    “Three Cheers for Ed (EPG)” for keeping this Challenge thriving. I know my accuracy, shooting technique, wind reading, and overall knowledge of target shooting have all significantly improved since shooting my first card 2 1/2 years ago. I suspect this is also true for many others. Most...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Shot 30Y Masters only today. Revere .22 with FX Atomic 15.89g at 865-867 FPS. Light wind, but my shooting and wind reading was not so good today. The Athlon Midas Tac 6-24x50 FFP is a great scope but the reticle is too thick at 24X. Too many ‘8’s’ and a few 7’s across the five cards...

    Thanks for the reminder on the session renaming. I have not used this feature, and as I am testing different rifles and pellets, this would help me quickly find past shot strings. I.e., “Revere 18.1g at 845 fps tune.”

    Correction on 40y card leaderboard submission. 4B is a “9.” Made an error. 192 is correct score and not a 193.

    FX Still Enjoying My FX Royale 400! What Are You Shooting?

    Thanks Edward! Fully benched with Accu-Tac front bipod and Protektor rear bag. Outdoor open range, excellent light wind with two flags. The Leupold maximum magnification is 20X, which is a struggle at 40 yards to see and hold for wind on these tiny bulls. The only other rifle that I have...

    I am on ShotView version 1.1. Not seeing a ‘push’ for a new update. I use the app almost every time I go to the range. I test a lot of pellets, brands and different weights and velocities. I did not count, but I have a hundred ++ sessions and have not had to delete any. You can delete a...

    Tuning No Hobby For Old Men

    My adult ( now married ) daughter bought me a nice coffee mug for Father’s Day when she was just a young 13 year old. It read, “Dad’s the real boss, right Mom?”

    I agree. Tim, just a matter of time as you have been consistently getting high scores with that Thomas. 😀

    30-Yard Challenge

    Ed Pretty incredible considering almost 50y! I’m not feeling any impulse to shoot beyond 40Y with these tiny 10 rings, but hats off to you and Ricky for pushing the envelope. I have my hands more than full at 40y. Lol

    30-Yard Challenge

    Shot 7 cards today and wind was very light. I brought the FX Royale .22 and HW100 .22 with me. I had every intention of shooting both rifles. The Royale has been very consistent and accurate with this Challenge, and I never brought the HW100 to the bench. I have been experimenting with the...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Greg Where did you order your match grade trash can 13.4g? Did not know of such a thing. The TM1000X does not have an SST nor does it have a magazine, so I only single load each pellet. The breech area is large so even with fat finger Tommy loading them, no problem. I do look at each...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Russ FWIW - I have noticed a very unusual phenomenon shooting my FX 13.4g “trash can” pellets which I cannot explain. Almost every card it will throw a wild flier that misses the bull or even box. I thought I may have accidentally loaded it backwards, but it has happened to me about a dozen...

    Smoky - great scores and even nicer gun and stock. Click on link below and order one of these. https://freelandssports.com/product/22-cal-scoring-gauge-with-magnifier-smallbore/ I just purchased a 2nd RAW, which was a TM1000x .177 from Martin earlier this year. I am curious to know what...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Hey Brandon As you can tell from pics, I always shoot the Challenge Targets at my local outdoor range. It is pretty wide open, but there are two 20’ BERMs on each side of the 50-60 yard width of the field. I also shoot under a roof, which A well known /respected competition BR shooter has...

    30-Yard Challenge

    This whole ‘wind reading’ discussion is complex, especially as it relates to forming shooting techniques for the 30-40y challenge, that result in hitting more ‘10’s or ‘X’s. There are a few principles that I am trying to improve on, but can’t seem to solve the puzzle: > knowing exactly when...

    30-Yard Challenge

    Theoretically, a straight head wind should push the pellet down and the opposite is true for down range straight tail winds. I.e., should push the pellet up from your POA. However, you gave me a good idea. It would be nice if there was an automated way to capture your POA and wind hold for...
