Take back the night...Long range night shooting!

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Nice shot string, but being limited to 12 foot pounds or 16 joules would drive me insane.

20 fpe is my minimum

I'm happy with 28 to 32 fpe. Just an all around good power range for what I like to do.

Anything above 32 fpe is just icing on the cake.

Thanks mate, getting there!...Just in from another 4 cards over crony..Couple more tune tweak tests... You know it...I think to myself WTF am I doing..Lol But I have a few things I've designed that needs testing...R&D..Love it...To be honest, I'm really enjoying this low power fun, My shot count for one fill is arounds 650!!!! And now I've got her shooting very clean cards out at 100 and scoring quite fair I think? But I shoot by race horses so super quite is the game... Real shame we can't put up video clips...Belter groups! Time to get that youtube channel going! Lol.

I know, She's really happy..As I..Ha ha But Hours and hours of little here little there...But being only so much wiggle room with most locked down. she's putting in with the top power I think? Next thing, Like mike did with air over powder burn!!!...Can you compete successfully with sub 12!?

I don't have any sub 12 fpe guns. My two .177's are set up to shoot the 13.4 gr JSB's around 820 fps

Ha ha, I don't think many do these days, Everyone what's to fling big chunks at high speeds...Fair play too...I like the precise aspect.. But there is happy and unhappy velocity's as you know.

The scope on my Thomas won't focus much past 60yds. It's one of those Hector Special Sightron 10-50x60 SIII FT scopes. I have thought about getting it reparalaxed since I don't shoot Field Target anymore. Will probably send the gun to Mike next month and get a complete reseal and tune it for the 16 grain Beasts? See if I can do any good with Mike's Nat50 targets

These are the best groups I remember doing at 50 yds several years back, but always seemed to have a flyer here and there.

I went through a spell of sorting and lubing pellets, but mostly shoot from the tin now days.

I bought two sleeves of the 13.4 gr JSB's from Mike when I bought the gun back in 2016. Haven't been able to find any pellets that good since. Last batch I got from Pyramyd are pretty crappy. The 13.4 redesigns and even the 16.2 grain shoot better than the tins I got from Pyramyd?

I just sent Mike an email, to see when I can send him the gun. Will probably send the scope to Sightron here in North Carolina and get it reparalaxed to 300 yds while the gun is with Mike. I had them reparalax my spare FT scope a few years back. Can't remember the last time I shot anything closer than 28 yds with it in years.

She's a thing of beauty! Yeah that's it when we go right out things close are just no challenge anymore...That's why I made the fly challenge for myself...Shooting chicken satay sticks at 35 yards became no challenge fast! Lol Nice, I just had a box 0f Airarms 8.4's which seem an extremely good batch. Does mike cast his own?

This day/night started with FUBAR...I've been running and trying bits and bats as you know for a while now,...Well today I thought she broke...Oh dear boney... now the crony is playing up...I was so close to calling it and hitting my build and tune room for a full strip down as 614 fps... well fine for close range shooting fly's, But just not cut the mustard with my antics! As we do, push on thru and sort our poop....And by fanny's lamp I did...I'm not sure but I think I have a count of 11 stacked on the A4 ding plate at 100 yards!!! Insane!!! YOU COUNT!!
