    N/A Muzzle energy varies with pellet weight, WHY?

    For those that want some serious night-time reading, that only needs "high school maths", these three are good starting points: https://airgunwarriors.com/resources/library/Spring_Buzz_and_Failure_in_Spring_Piston_Airguns_Tavella.pdf...

    Results PSA Long Range FT 4-5-2025 Results

    Than ks to Bryan W, Mike B, and everyone else that helped. It was my first shoot and I think LRFT is a "HOOT"! LOL! Match was not too difficult and it was very enjoyable. It also helped that winds were light. In that range winds can de devilishly hard to read. In many ways it reminded me of...

    Course Design- Setting a 36T in the Wind

    Jeff; The founders of the GP had a "regional" (Southern, by the way) setup in mind. It was never intended to be a National thing. If you really want to stick to the original founder's intention, then there should be at least 4 GP's (one per region, whatever that is ), and then the National title...

    Course Design- Setting a 36T in the Wind

    I was planning to attend, but this discussion has dissuaded me from doing so. I have the budget, the time and the wife's permission, but I see no sense in going to a match that is going to be set for the sake of the GP points. FT is a great sport all around the world, where the US plays an...

    RWS Diana RWS 48 cocking arm locked up

    I'm back from the World's. The pictures paint a clear picture, the fracture of the cocking lever linkage knuckle is an impact fracture, not a fatigue one. This tells me that there was a strong "mishap", perhaps even a detonation (far more violent than a "dieseling"). And, yes, recently applied...

    Diana Diana 30 won't cock.

    @ levgen721.- Please don't take this the wrong way, but what ammunition did you load into your D30's? A bit of history: These guns have been Out of Production for at least 10 years. Still, when this version came out (at least two variations I am aware of), it already had the blue silicon...

    Deal Alert on a 4-50X75 scope

    It's going to go for very little, and I would rather it go to a friend airgunner; if you want/are interested in big scopes, this is one you should look at: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1047002655 Hope I am not breaking any rules here, if I am, I apologize. Keep well and shoot straight! HM

    Diana Diana 48 - Journey Update w/ happy ending

    I am glad your local distributor is doing the right thing. Just in case, I sent the data to the Technical CEO of M&G (DIANA), so that we make sure he is aware of this issue. Just a technical note: DIANAS are assembled in somewhat of a "hot line", where one step is immediately followed by...

    Steve Herr's full tune of a 0.20" cal DIANA 54

    and if you change pellet batches, you can also re-tune. Main thing is that these tuners will NEVER get out of adjustment. They work WITH the recoil and vibrations, not against them. ;-) Thank YOU, keep well, healthy and as sane as modern life allows (I really do not need to tell you to shoot...

    Steve Herr's full tune of a 0.20" cal DIANA 54

    Jeff, one of the things about DIANA's is that most things are designed to be retro-fittable. Unless your rifle is a T01 (very early version), the HPM (High Performance Muzzle weight) is usable. Let me know through the contact page in my website: https://www.ctcustomairguns.com/contact-us.html...

    Longevity in an Air Rifle

    By no means I consider myself better than anyone. You used a good approach to getting some information. Sadly, the calculator you use is somewhat dated. And Strelok is woefully inadequate for pellet use. You CAN get great results, but it needs a ton of fiddling. Chairgun is a bit better, but it...
