    Fairfield field target July 30 start time?

    Does anyone know what time the match starts tomorrow? The last time I went I was way too early. It’s been over a year, but my calendar just opened up, so I am going to try to be there.

    Powermaster 66

    Picked up an old rifle dad had in the corner. He got it quite a few years ago from a friend whose wife didn’t like hunting and found them in the garage, so the guy had to get rid of them. He knew dad shot and gave them to him. It is an old Crosman Piwermaster 66. It’s got some rust on the...

    Cheap vs. Expensive

    Thought I would take advantage of little wind after work today and do a little shooting. Couldn’t decide what to shoot so just picked a couple guns for a fun comparison. Daisy 880 with open sights compared to Daystate Wolverine R with Aztec emerald scope set at 16x. I used shooting sticks off...

    HW 97k issue?

    Finally got a warm day yesterday here in Indiana (70 deg). Wind wasn’t too bad, but humidity was pretty high. Got home from work and decided to take advantage of the warmth. Set up some targets in the back yard and got out the 97k in .20. This is usually my go to gun just to get in some...

    What a hoot!

    Was at Wally World yesterday and found this on clearance. Set it up in the basement at 10 yards. This is going to be a lot of fun. Nothing like standing at 10 yardsticks open sights trying to hit a moving target. So far best is 7 shots to get all 5. I can see where I am going to need to...

    New Hunting rifle

    Ok, I am sure this question has been asked in a lot of different forms in the past, but here goes again. I think I know what I want, but want to make sure I am not missing something. It has been about a year since I bought my HW97 in .20 and do love it. Specifically I bought it for Squirrel...

    Tuning RWS 93 Trigger fix?

    Pulled out my old springer the other day. It is a RWS Model 93. After a little shooting, I remember why I put it away. The trigger on this thing is really heavy. maybe 10 pounds... After shooting a while my finger was really sore. Does anyone know if there is anything that can be done to...

    Diana Chaser - Too much fun.

    So, being wintertime, I have been practicing my air pistol in the basement for the local 10m matches. Shooting an old FWB Model 2. Well, the girlfriend wanted to shoot while I was practicing, and being of smaller stature, she really didn't like my Daisy 853, or my old Crosman pumpers. Before...

    Crosman 130

    Hi All, Not sure if this goes here as Vintage, or Air Pistols. Working on rebuilding an old Crosman 130 air pistol. I had it working for a while, but after setting way too long, it won't pump up. With each pump, I hear air escaping out the barrel. So my guess is new o-rings. Got it apart...

    Nomad Compressor - Any experience yet?

    Am looking at the Nomad compressor from PA. Looks like over the year they have gotten a couple shipments in and quickly sold out. I have been thinking about getting one of these, but waiting to hear some experience from those that have already received them. So far it seems to be pretty...

    Scope Batteries What size?

    OK, so I got a used rifle with a UTG 4-16x56 Accushot Swat IE scope. Overall happy with it. Got to looking at the scope and wondered about this illuminated reticle. Never used one in the past, black works pretty good for me. But thought might as well try it out. I opened it up and there is...

    Benjamin Desicant kit parts?

    Does anyone know where I can get a replacement filter tip for this thing? My hand pump fell over the other day and the little sintered metal tip broke out of the fitting. Kind of surprised the plastic bowl didn't break. But no, just the metal filter came out of the brass piece that threads...

    Mole Sieve questions

    Got a bunch of small beads of mole sieve today from work. They had sampled our LARGE air dryers about a year ago, and had a few bottles setting around that were going to get pitched. So I saved the trash man some weight. I assume this stuff can be dried by heating, and from what I gather...

    Good Starter gun for FT?

    I am really wanting to get a PCP. Main purpose would be plinking and some FT. Have been saving for years, but seems like life always has other things that sap the piggy bank. I was always thinking about a Marauder in either 22 or 177. Looks like for FT the 177 is the better choice. For...

    What about those in their "right" mind?

    Have been reading and looking at airguns mainly PCP's for a few years now. Really enjoyed Ted's videos, and look at this forum since it started. Really want to get a PCP, but gee the prices are high for what most users call a good PCP. Then looking at the high end ones (FX), it seems all have...

    Which airgun? narrowed down to 2.

    Just wanted to get some input. I am looking to get my first PCP. I thought I had it narrowed down to a Marauder in 22. A buddy has one, and I really like it. I am a lefty, and it appears to be the only airgun that can be converted to that side. It is also near the upper limit of my budget...
