    In-depth sub 16FPE comparison video.

    Very interesting video comparing pellet penetration and performance in 3 calibers, all at the same energy level. Real world testing while culling rabbits, not ballistic gel or watermelons. Some graphic images of rabbit dissection to determine penetration, but nothing a hunter hasn’t seen...

    Currie for the rats?

    No, not curried rats… Currie for rats! Has anyone tried using Currie Powder as an attractant for rats? I know there are various combinations of attractants called “blaze” used to attract rats into traps, flour mixed with a little aniseed, or flour mixed with a little icing sugar, sprinkled...

    HW/Weihrauch Older HW100’s

    Hi Folks, I’m looking at buying a 2006 HW100 in .22cal, I believe it’s the full power version. I believe the HW100 was launched in 2004, so the one I’m looking at is an early model. Have they changed much since the early ones? Anything I should look out for? Pic below is the .22 I’m...

    Diana Ghost ring suggestions?

    Hi Folks, I love shooting my D54 with open sights, but the standard rear sight is a blade just forward of the loading port, and I’d love to change this to a ghost ring back by the saftey. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a ghost ring that would attach onto the 11mm dove tail rail...

    N/A Open sights sight picture?

    What does your open sights, sight picture look like? I’ve been shooting my Diana 54 with open sights at 30yards, using a bright orange 1.5inch (39mm) diameter sticker as my aim point. Would you place the orange sticker “on top” of your front sight, or use your front sight to “cover half” of...

    Always request transport packaging!

    Just a reminder to everyone, always request your tins of pellets to be packaged correctly for shipping! I recently ordered 5 tins of pellets from a local gun shop. They packaged them in a plastic courier bag and sent them off!!! When I recieved them all 5 tins had been bashed and damaged, and...

    How do you explain this…???

    Not sure if you are able to slow this video down to see what the pellet actually does, but it blew my mind! Rifle was an Air Arms S510 in .177, pellet is a JSB Exact 8.44gr doing about 813fps, zeroed at 35yards, usually a DEADLY combination, I’ve literally taken hundereds of rabbits with this...

    Diana 54’s and 56TH… What to do???

    Hi Folks, So I used to have a 48, which I owned for many years and loved very much. I had to sell it a few years ago, not by choice, and I’ve wanted another ever since. So I put an add onto my local air rifle forum (much smaller then this one) asking if anyone wanted to sell a second hand 54 or...

    Do competition winners lube their slugs?

    I’d love to know if the winners of all the big bench rest and ELR competitions lube their slugs, or if they just shoot them “stright out the box”. Would be interesting to know the percentage of podium winners that use lube vs those that don’t. Pete.

    The little .177 that could!

    I’ve just uploaded a rather inspirational video about my little Elly. I’ve called it “The little .177 that could!” 😂😂😂 Also just uploaded a video showcasing her work a few days ago. I finally got my head around adding some back ground music too. Each persons taste in music is quite a personal...

    What makes a PCP quieter…?

    Here’s a question for the more informed members of this forum… What makes an air rifle quieter…? Barrel length, 500mm vs 600mm vs 700mm? Shrouded barrell? Fully shrouded or no shroud? Moderator/silencer size, length and or thickness? Empty or baffled? Is one factor more important that others...
