One thing I had better clarify. Reading my last post makes it appear I am talking about filling 200b cyclinders to 300b. That is not what I mean at all. What I am trying to suggest is that attempting to fill 200b cyclinders from a 300b tank is to seek trouble from inadvertently overpressurising the ...

Hysterical? I don't recall being hysterical. I agree "some" cylinders have been tested to "way above" their useful pressure. I would posit that every cylinder is not taken up to this test pressure. It is a design and test pressure only. I defy any engineer to then tell you that i...

From the same article about the stored energy: "The pressurized air normally used is at 3000 PSI (pounds per square inch) and has enormous energy potential. The kinetic energy potential contained within an average SCUBA tank is 1.3 MILLION foot-pounds. This is enough energy to lift a 100-ton di...

The article linked to above has this pertinent comment: "It is NOT recommended that any 300 bar/4300 psi tanks be used at airgun events due to the possibility of someone over pressurizing their 3000 psi rated cylinder. I know some colleges are exploring the possibility of using the 300 bar tank...

I can't believe I am reading these comments folks. If you want to kill yourselves or others then go ahead and fill a 200b air rifle cyclinder with a 300b bottle and no regulator. The danger of inadvertently overfilling by a sudden inflow of air and then having to quickly empty it.........More import...

One other point worth noting. My experience of military rifle shooting is that it is deeply entrenched in the breath in and hold technique. I suspect when there is lead flying around being relaxed may not be the best idea while trying to shoot. I can't help thinking that 60s and 70s was still well p...

Funny you should mention it. I too have been brought up on the shooting on the "comfortably empty" breathing sycle. A few years ago I noticed a NZ shooter doing the breath in and hold technique. He is the only one I have EVER seen of those I have watched. And i have watched all the way to ...

Hi
I don't think a blinder over the other eye will be the issue. But I had a trial with my rifle after thinking about it and I'd seriously look at the upper bridge of the right side of the nose / inner eyebrow coming down too low. It certainly gives a 4 oclock flat on my backsight!!!!

Try this trick. Make a small hole in a card about 1mm diameter. (1/16 inch or so for you USAers.) Looking straight ahead, hold this card about 50mm from the eye. With another card, and while keeping the bottom of it horizontal, slowly move it down while holding it against your eyebrow. Eventually it...
