    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Thanks. Lots to learn at this. Different than plinking steel, and hunting. Hopefully reach off hand at some point.

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Watched some ytvid's on sighting thru a diopter, really help since 1st I've ever used. Shot another paper before this doing adjustments. Really took my time on this one. #1 was early trigger pull. Shouldn't have shot 17 & 18 as I started a sneezing fit after 16 and didn't wait long enough after...

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    Not yet impressive, but at least I'm getting to shoot. Like this shooting indoors, can unwind at end of the day without lugging stuff outside. Using tripod because by end of the day I'm done with being on my feet and just want to sit down and relax. Two things I've learned quickly; is trigger is...

    What Paper Target Did You Shoot Today

    1st 10 meter PCP. Received free be pure chance. No where close to everyone's pic's I see here. And I was shooting off a tripod, 10yds is best I can get shooting wall to wall. Totally different than my big bore and something to get used to.

    Gun Cabinet/Indoor Pellet Trap Build

    65 acres and 3/4 of my property is so steep timber isn't accessible. Great deer hunting though so long as they don't go down in the wrong place. 3 hours getting large 8 pointer out last year. Dropped after about 20yds then kicked and slid 50yds down side mountain and then over a 20ft rock ledge...

    Gun Cabinet/Indoor Pellet Trap Build

    This is 60+ year old, 1x6 saw milled Red Oak. Wood is so hard can't drive a nail in it without drilling a pilot hole. What I like about using reclaimed wood is there's no finishing work, and precision jointer isn't required. Just slapping it together as is, and close enough, just adds to the...

    Gun Cabinet/Indoor Pellet Trap Build

    Got a 10 meter Crosman Challenger Pro recently so needed to make an indoor pellet trap, plus getting to many guns and all else that accumulates once you start down the PCP rabbit hole. (It's to shallow for my big bore though.) Live in a small family fatm house built in 1903 so space is limited...

    Crosman Seeking info about an older Crosman Challenger Pro I just received

    Thanks for the feed back and the video. Seems easy enough, but for the small parts and my fumble fingers. Certainly not something I'd do upstairs in my old farmhouse where my stuff is, way to many cracks in the floor for small parts to vanish forever into. Been busy today working rusty old...

    Crosman Seeking info about an older Crosman Challenger Pro I just received

    Just had this fall into my hands today and know nothing about it. Was talking to someone today about my current project of making pellet traps for some indoor shooting of my break barrel and 40+ yr old bb pistol my dad found stored away. They said they had this laying around unused for several...

    AEA Update Challanger Elite .457 Finally Right

    Thank you. Being first air gun everything has been a steep learning curve. Especially since nothing ever seems to work straight out of the box for me. Even had to fix collapsing legs on new Bog tripod I bought. Strom Helene hit just as ready to get back to gun. Devastated my driveway, ridge top...

    AEA Update Challanger Elite .457 Finally Right

    Life got in the way of finishing up getting my gun right so feel this update is over due. Replaced Regulator Core twice. The 1st I backed out to far and blew an o-ring (have since replace that and so have a spare reg core now). The 2nd I damaged over time by adjusting reg pressure down without...

    GX CS4 Overheating issue

    I use my GX4 in a hot unconditioned 2nd floor of an old farm house. Filling a tank it gets hot, so once at 130dgr water temp I start cycling it. I've been thinking of one of the small bedside A/C units at Walmart for the intake. Couldn't hurt, though my wife might steal it. Don't have any issues...

    What a difference without cataracts

    Had mine removed removed almost a year ago. Knew my vision had been getting worse, but WOW the difference afterwards. Hadn't realized just how dull colors had gotten though. Total night and day difference.

    One way Valve

    My configuration, takes a lot of air to fill the 3 filters, but can unhook everything and only lose air in 1st and last hose. Made 1 way valve going into 1st Centrifugal filter, 2nd has color changing silca beads, 3rd molecular sieve. Manual valve, with bleeder, can fill gun directly then...

    Tuning FPE for whitetail ethical dispatch?

    30+yrs ago(young and dumb) I took a neck shot on a small buck at about 40yds with a 30/30. Deer dropped like a wet sack. Got all my gear out of the tree, was packing everything up and smoking a cigarette. Deer started thrashing and trying to get up, so had to get closer for a dispatch shot. When...

    gx cs4 rubber diaphragm

    Really I'm just old-ish and alot of technologies have past me by. I've never even seen a 3d printer. Old school here. Draw out an idea, create measurements, make it out of what ever is on hand. One of the draw backs of rural living, nothing's readily available. But then there's the pleasure of...

    gx cs4 rubber diaphragm

    My apologies, I'm just a old Mountain JOAT that follows the KISS principal when repairing things. My fix was free and only took a few minutes. I'd have to consult my son who's a chemist as to whether a food grade grease would have negative interactions with inner tube rubber. All I can say is...

    Other Big Bore Lead Traps Targets Anyone?

    I dump all mulch into a large toat tub, then just sift it by hand. Time wise, I'm relaxing, and chilling in the woods, not really thinking about it. It's a lot easier than working. But don't empty it often, range is my personal property so nothings going anywhere, 21.5 lbs out of this time...

    Other Big Bore Lead Traps Targets Anyone?

    With mine the steel plate actually isn't being hit at all because of all the rubber mulch in front of it that fills the trap. It was a just incase because I didn't want to shoot thru trap. Mobility to vary yardage, and catching my lead for recasting was my goal. For the most part just used...
