Re: Shooting Range Setup - Basement
Very easy and affordable, Rubber chip mulch, (shredded auto tires), at Walmart off season price approx $3/bag. Fill a carboard box with this. Or fill a cardboard box with many layers of cardboard. Both these method are very quiet, as the pellet is not hitting a steel plate. With minimalized pellet d...

Re: Starting new Jr air rifle group
The opportunity to make this happen still exists, however, am coming up with zero candidates to even look at the equipment. What seemed to be positive interest was all just talk , no action. I may set up at the location, for myself, and my son to go to during mid winter close to home place to go , f...

Re: Breaking in a new jacket and pants kit.
Stiffness is a big topic of discussion, there was a rule change a few years ago that increased the possible thickness by close to a factor of 2. The original thickness is still available, but now x2 thickness is available. Also if your interested, look at the procedure for material thickness test. C...

Re: Breaking in a new jacket and pants kit.
My opinion about this, I do not want to break it in. Have a pair of Gehman trousers for more than a year, using them daily, that have yet to be folded and just stand them vertically in the corner when not using them. As far as coats go, shoot with it, and it will naturally conform to your needs, try...

Re: experiences FWB 900 alu?
Most FWB 900, from what I have witnessed, come as standard size. You can special order a smaller size stock, I believe the rear portion is shorter. This order is done on the FWB order form. It is one of the boxes that you check. This form is on the FWB web site. Special order will require a possible...

Re: Am I too old?
Try it and find out. You maybe extremely talented. Shooting is a lifestyle, hang in there and you will see what you can do. IMO, it is convenient for the young to train and pursue this goal, because there are not any other demands on life when you are younger. So if you have the means at 23 and your...

Re: Scuba tank setup for air pistol cylinder refills
I chose to get the compressor and fill my own, reasons being, not any round trip travel time to and from a fill station, also considering the fill is only a top off fill. I regularly fill the tank once a week in the outdoor warm season, due to the more air used per shot with an FX Crown outdoor air ...

I fill my own 80 cu ft scuba tank to 3000 psi, with a "Yong Heng" dual stage air compressor with filters. The Yong Heng will go to 300 bar, 4000 psi , but my tank is a aluminum 3000 psi, and that is all I need. The 4000 psi tanks are big $$. The Yong Heng is approx $300 at amazon, try to g...

Re: daisy challenger 84
Possible interest in these. Are you stating that you only have 1 cylinder to be used for all 3 rifles?
Or are you saying that you have 1 cylinder per rifle? So you have 3 rifles with 1 cylinder per rifle, you have 3 cylinders total.

Good news today is, permission granted to start a youth (maybe seniors as well) air rifle group at my local church. Pretty much carte blanche for any /all situations involving target air guns. I am reading the CMP website, and calling tomorrow. A very good floor area of 50 foot x 50 foot with high c...
