    Mythbusting Precision BR

    If I were to play golf with Tiger Woods, I can't possibly expect him to play with putt-putt balls and ladies clubs just so I could have a hope of competing with him. The point of competing is try to do your BEST, not artificially handicap the other guy so you can feel better about your lack of...

    So AirgunRevisions doesn't accept Gift Cards.

    Truly a first-world problem. Kudos to Rich. Dealing with the spoilt public on a daily basis must be very tiring. The attempt to smear a respected vendor is revolting, IMHO. Who is old enough to remember mail order catalogs from the 60's and 70's? 6-8 weeks at least to get your Ovaltine...

    October bonks - meh

    Awesome my friend. Thanks for being there for me 🤪. Glad to know we are almost past October, and I get another try to absolve myself.

    FX Very basic trajectory information please

    Gravity is the same for every gun and pellet. I think you are trying to get way to complicated in your analysis. As soon as the pellet leaves the barrel, it begins to accelerate toward the ground. That is why the barrel is tipped crown up compared to the sight line. Gravity is constant and...

    October bonks - meh

    Yeppers, not every day can be a record setting day. On the plus side, I diagnosed and corrected the issue with the ATV engine code. Turns out that the air filter was wrapped up with a plastic baggie. When throttle was opened the air flow sucked the baggie tight and choke off the filter. The...

    October bonks - meh

    October was not a very impressive trip to the squirrel lands. I was a bit off my game that day and the opposing team did not want to play. The weather has been unseasonably hot and dry and the daylight shift to later in the day was not accounted for. I only went through one magazine of my .25...

    The actual interpretation of our crazy air gun laws. The reason the answers are so twisted and hard to interpret is because our air gun laws are

    Quite the introduction there heya partner? Why is a guy named California going on about Canadian gun laws? Seems more than a bit strange to me.

    How could you predict FPS changes by changing only pellet weight?

    I do think that the energy of the system will remain nearly constant across the weights of pellets we can choose from. If the gun is set to 22 FPE with a heavy pellet, it should be nearly exactly the same 22 FPE with a lighter pellet and no other changes made. You are trading speed for...

    What do you call these buttstocks?

    Reminds me of the red-neck's truck nuts... So why not call them Gun Nuts? https://images.app.goo.gl/brWACM85m6dKw2pU7

    Having a nice day off, spending time on the shop. Weather is still nice, highs in the 80-90's and nights in the low 60's. It turns out that the laser and the lathe are complimentary in my shop. I turn material while the laser is busy. Keeps my cookie snatchin' hands off the parameters while...

    My cat blew up my compressor

    Well, the first thing I would do is insert a self safety between compressor and outlet. The GX CS3 and CS4 have a vertical face with the "go" button, so the cat stepping on the switch is a limy risk. The CS4 has internal water tank and radiator that allows for 5 hours duty cycle. Anytime...

    Bargain block now loaded with Akela and Kratos

    It is a stunningly bad idea to put 4k pressure into a system designed for 3k. You are asking for a bomb at face level. A regulator does not magically increase the capability of the bottle and block threads. That Conner kid is notorious for trying to amp up guns by overloading the air system...

    Benjamin Gunnar listed on PA now.

    Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Mr. Racing. The Reximex brand has not penetrated the U.S. market yet, so there is little first-hand knowledge to be shared. I feel my Tormenta is lacking a bit in stock form for a .25 cal. My unregulated gun runs from 205 bar to 200 bar - then it...

    Reximex TORMENTA puts in the work

    September BONKS video. Reximex Tormenta and .25 AA, filmed with Tactacam 5.0 FTS. I enjoy filming my shots, but it does take some more pre-shot execution to make it happen. 36 shots today, I dumb thumbed 5. Blame it on late season allergies.

    Reximex TORMENTA puts in the work

    I am going to mount the Tactacam 5.0 and FTS on this gun for the next trip to the farm. It's so effective and fun to shoot that I have to share it with y'all. It'll be a week or so... standby for more :)

    Reximex TORMENTA puts in the work

    That was from 41 yards. I took a detour down an offset in the field that I have not frequented. It was pretty close to the boundary of the property, so I took my time to ensure any pass through (or pass-by) would be contained where I have permission to shoot. That little gun gets 40 usable...

    Reximex TORMENTA puts in the work

    Another quick trip to the squirrel-lands. The TORMENTA continues to impress me. I love a gun that makes you look good 😉. The .25 TORMENTA is a smooth shooting, pleasant companion that puts about 38-ish fpe into my targets. The Donny FL Tatsu in .25 is very nice addition to the system. This...

    KYL (know your limits) rack competition scoring question

    Hit vs Miss is a heck of a lot easier to rule on than "did it hit HARD enough" to count as a hit. The targets on rack in the video above cannot spin "all the way around". In the end, it will be the match director that sets the rules. At my home range, I am the match director, sole competition...

    A little perspective was called for, and I realized that I was going to survive that trial. Really, it helped me get a handle on some other issues that were causing more grief than was warranted. God does not grant patience; he sends tests that allow us to grow our own patience.
