Do you check your stock screws before you shoot? Just curious, I have used blue lock tight on mine sometimes. QYS shoot good in all of mine.Sprinted to the basement when the wife turned on the grammys.

Excellent I hadn't heard of them and likley send a rifle out for service eventually.I'm not saying were wrong. I probably would have as well. My point was you went the wrong route to use UPS in the first place. I simply offered you a better route to use UPS in the future. Pirateship gives you the rate for both carriers. You can use either. I almost always choose UPS as they're service is invariably better and usually cheaper through pirateship. UPS cost $70 to ship a rifle over the counter. Pirateship is half that. Similar savings on small packages as well.
If I had a basement I would have done that, as it was I suffered through them. I simply cannot understand why she always has to watch them. We never go to the movies, and she said she did not know any of the actors, nor did I.Sprinted to the basement when the wife turned on the grammys.

We’ve been in a wind tunnel last few days. Weather is supposed to break after today.On topic: It was a windy day. Was supposed to be a PCP precision 30/40 yd card day but...when life gives you lemons, what do you do? That's right, you shoot springers! My newest rifle, an HW .20 95 with a walnut stock. Very accurate, still breaking it in. I haven't opened it yet, but soon. And here is a picture of what I do for fun reactive targets. You guys have some amazing ranges, but I have to set mine up and remove it every time. So 4x4's with silhouettes tied on. I can put them anywhere from 50 meters and less. This is a photo of the turkeys at 40 yards and the rams at 45..

I was going to try hinges screwed to the base plate of each silhouette but 2 of them are so small that it just didn’t work. The string is easy.We’ve been in a wind tunnel last few days. Weather is supposed to break after today.
HW95 .20 is an awesome rifle.
I have a few of those silhouette’s and started to attach them to a hinge and make a reset with a string. Before I finished I had other resets with 120 ft. of string attached. PITA. The sun destroyed the string making it brittle and 5-6 strings across the drive way didn’t cut it either.
I think I’ll adopt your idea by tying each down.
Just a new thought, weld a small spring and attach to a plate.
How do you like the 150?
Bought one a few days ago. Another one in transit.

I had to go out to my messy shop and found these. But didn’t want a string.I was going to try hinges screwed to the base plate of each silhouette but 2 of them are so small that it just didn’t work. The string is easy.
I’m still obsessed with the accuracy of the FWB 150, I even started a thread about it. I’m sure you will enjoy yours if it is as accurate as mine. And so easy to cock at 6.3 fpe.
as I am an older guy i would recommend .22 for easier loading .I decided to get a 16J kit for the pro sport from TBT, but currently trying to get a tony leach kit with the man himself. Otherwise it will be TBT.
Unless anyone can recommend me vortek..
Biggest things with those kits is that they replace everything for polymer plastic aka Delrin..
I am also going to get another gun this week!
Tx200HC, 100% 16 joules..
still doubting .177 or .22..
I love my '22's, I only have a HW30 right now in 177 with a tinbum on the way..
What would ya'll recommend there?
I did check that after a couple flyers, no change. I tighten everything after I shoot and clean up. The stock screws haven’t moved with tightening to specs in a few weeks. I was very steady. A couple of those flyers made me smh.Do you check your stock screws before you shoot? Just curious, I have used blue lock tight on mine sometimes. QYS shoot good in all of mine.![]()
I have a mig welder but don’t know about welding the spring. My buddy owns a fab plant, he’ll know. Hope it’s a go. CrowYou may want to use a mechanical method of fastening a spring. I think welding does things to their heat treatment, maybe quenching? Someone chime in here with knowledge if it will save him some aggravation.
I would wrap the spring with a wet rag , just weld the part that is through the base to the Ram / goat / pig ?I have a mig welder but don’t know about welding the spring. My buddy owns a fab plant, he’ll know. Hope it’s a go. Crow
With this new 98 I was tightening after 10 or 15 shots for a while, then they finally stopped after the wood compressed..lol.I did check that after a couple flyers, no change.

Your bench is "almost" over loaded..lol.I had to go out to my messy shop and found these. But didn’t want a string. View attachment 543895Looking at yours gave me this idea. View attachment 543896I searched my drawers and found 11 of these springs. My welder is behind my tractor which has to be moved out. Will have to wait. View attachment 543897I think I might be on to something as long as you can weld spring. View attachment 543899I need 7 more silhouettes. I think this will work. Thanks for the wake up call.
