Crosman Crosman Icon for $129.99 - free shipping

That is a lot (from experience), How in the heck @JimBianchi did 500 is beyond me. He must be an ironman! Gotta make sure I stay on his good side.
"Him my friend! Him kill my enemies!"
Not iron man, just a glutten for punishment. I am beat and take a break every 30-40 pumps. It was funny, that's how I found the leak. 40 pumps and only 1000PSI? What the heck? I had to repeat it a several times to find the isues! That sucked. I was done for the next two days. Bought a compressor that night.

I held off on a compressor because, until I bought a NOTOS, all I had was my 1701P pistol and my 2001 Challenger - both relatively easy hand-pumpers. Plus, I’m a cheapskate and didn’t (still don’t) like what I hear about longevity of inexpensive compressors. The 3650 psi fill of the NOTOS with relatively small shot count convinced me to get one. Glad I did now. We’re still friends though. Right? Big guy? Ol’ buddy ol’ pal? 😁

Just now, fired three shots at my spinning prairie dog to warm up, then proceeded to shoot groups:

“Hey, I says to myself - not too shabby!”
Just need to dial scope in.
Next two groups were attempting that:

Here comes the good part:

“Yay! I got this thing whooped!”
And then very next group i shot this:

Getting frustrated.
Edit: these were at 37 yards in a 4-8 SSW breeze. Good conditions.
Nice!!!
 
So I started to fire test shots and was so happy with it I went ahead and finished 5 shot group. Thinking Oh I got this now I went to the left and well I lost it. FWIW on 2nd 5 it went bullseye yah to way left almost off the paper back to at least it's hitting the circle.

50 yards Crossman premier which I don't think are performing as well as CPHP.View attachment 415950

So then I decided it was time for a walk it's like 55 and Sunny. And squirrels were chewing everywhere. But they were super elusive until I buried myself in the thick stuff. Good news for the squirrel even though I have a gun that shoots better than me I still have to contend with brush, sun in my eyes, tree limbs in the way, not loading a pellet before shooting, and trying to hold this tank free hand.


I did get one but had to leave (at the best time ever) because we have a dinner and graduation. But the icon is on the board.

I think it’s just because I’m a lousy shot. lol
So am I. I once said if I can hit a 3/4" peel and stick dot With 9 out of 9 shots on a paper plate at 30yds I'd be happy and call it good enough.Well I accomplished that and now shoot at 1/2" dots. Practice and the right pellets make a bug difference. So keep practicing it will come
