JTS JTS Airacuda - New Owner - First brand new PCP - Looks used

PCP life without a chronograph is almost impossible. Even if you have a robust trouble free gun like a Taipan or AAA. PCP owners need that tool just like they need pellets and air. You at least need baseline speeds for what you’re shooting. Then when, not if something gets weird, you can check your guns speeds. With the cost of pellets, a good enough chronograph will cost you what, three tins of pellets?
To be honest. I don't want to tinker with numbers and speeds and all that. I want to shoot at targets and maybe animals everyonce in a while. I honestly have no desire to learn all the number stuff. I'm just focusing on filling with air and pulling the trigger and look at the sky and smile because I am outside. I have no desire to become a PCP'r, I just want to shoot pellets.

I definitely agree to a large extent. I would like a chrony for tuning my rifles. Outside of that, if you're used to your gun and how it shoots, you know when something is off. I've had no problem taking plenty of small game, predators and pesky varmints while hiking and brush hunting by knowing my rifle and my hold-overs.

Your thoughts on this will change over time.
 
Perhaps. Just don't have time to "learn" how to adjust my PCP for now. I just wanna shoot. Helps me relax. Calculating numbers and making tables in excel with graphs is not what I wanna do on my time off for now.
then get something like a daystate hunstman revere. It has no adjustments. It is just fill, load, shoot. And its an amazing platform!

PCP.. pretty crappy platform.. pay continue paying..

Ya, PCP is a racket..

Maybe go with a quality springer ?

Cock load ,shoot, repeat. No added expense like hand pumping of compressor. Then one with good iron sights and no optics cost ether..lol
 
No Deco, it’s not a racket, no more than HWs that need to be serviced before you shoot them.

My first pcp I wanted one that I likely wouldn’t have had to mess with. I found a used AA s500 for $500. It’s flawless and seems to never miss…lol

Best money I have spent since my HW30.

Now if you want to relax and just shoot, HW30 is the way to go.

Well that hw I can shoot right out of the box standalone all day everyday no extra money to spend on it to be able to shoot it .. well a tin o pellets .. 🤤

PCP you can't . You go buy more stuff to hope to .. that's a racket ...

I guess if delivered full of air you could buy that will run out. Them higher chance no sights so go buy a scope ..lol

Funny folks pay 1000's for that . Ya a racket.

This sounds wack and the sarcasm is boring. It's playing high powered BB guns, not changing the planet.

Well, I finally got my refund, and I was charged $50 for the shipping even though he sold me a used gun that was supposed to be new. Yes, it is New England Air Guns and some of you had guessed it right and I don’t know how you guys know that but you did. Highly suggest staying away from buying stuff on his site.

Got my Avenger all set up now and it’s so fun. I gotta admit I had never realized how accurate these pellet guns can be at 50 yards. And nah, don’t need a chronograph to enjoy this for now. Maybe later but for now, hell nah.
