They are great rifles that will take allot ...

Re: Daisy 599 Partial/Initial Review

We have been using the Challenger 2009 going on 4 years now. With a 2000 psi fill, the max allowed and 7.0 grain RWS Match Pellets, we have had no problems getting through a 3 * 20 with a single fill, and very little if any drop off. Nearly every JROTC unit we shoot with have Challengers. There are ...

Re: Daisy 499b Program Startup - ideas needed

There are numerous youth groups, and even all age groups around the nation using the 499B rifles. For their intended distance which is 5 meters, they are usually more accurate than most shooters can muster. I have seen competitions where youth and adults are putting rounds in the 10x nearly every ti...

Re: Daisy National Rumor

Seriously doubt they will do that, that event has been going on since 1966 and to my knowledge, none of their major sponsors have pulled their support.

May be the last time they hold it in Rogers, but not the last time the event will be held.

Re: Air Rifle Silhouette

They provide a seperate room in the building. The safe area is deemed necessary by NRA Rules. Shooters were given time to air up between animals. Thanks, I did not know that! My son has another 2 years before he can apply for the Texas Team - but it is good information for our other members. We hav...

Re: Air Rifle Silhouette

If going with PCP, pay attention to what air pressures the gun likes. You are given time to "air up" at Nationals, so I wouldn't let that worry you. Don't they make you go out of the building if you are using PCP? And if I am reading this correct, they gave time between banks of animals t...

Re: Air Rifle Silhouette

The air rifle of choice over at that site is the Air Arms TX200 springer. (not the carbine) http://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Air_Arms_TX200_MkIII_Air_Rifle/174 Like the specs on this one, and the fact it is a under-lever makes it that much better. Now if it was available in a ambi stock it would be a ...

Re: Air Rifle Silhouette

The 2016 rules did still say that, but there has been enough flak given over it, I am trying to avoid issues. Trying to keep from modifying the Challenver we own, so it stays in compliance for other sporter sanctions we shoot. Thank You A challenger turned up a little bit with a decent scope able to...

ROTFLMAO, thanks!
