Re: Monthly AP League December 2024

I'd like to join this league. I assume we're shooting 10 shots on each of 6 targets, correct? Are NRA B40 targets acceptable? Thanks!

Re: AP20 POI low and inconsistent

Just to follow up on this, I sent the gun back to Umarex. Got it back about 10 days later and it now shoots great. No indication of what was wrong; the invoice just says "Repair Product" and "Adjusted velocity to 495 fps". No charge; it was under warranty.

Re: AP20 POI low and inconsistent

Even though the gauge said 115 bar, I refilled the tank and tried a few more shots. The first two didn't even make it to the paper at 20 feet. The third stuck in the barrel. Maybe I was overzealous in putting silicone grease on the air tank fitting, and it got into the chamber? So what's the proced...

As for the stuck pellet, you can also use a bamboo skewer. Thanks, Kevin. Yes, I did try that and the sho...

AP20 POI low and inconsistent

I'm a new air gun shooter; the Hammerli AP20 is my first air gun. I've had it for a couple months with about 2000 rounds through it and it seems to be getting less accurate the more I shoot it. With the butt of the gun on sandbags, its point of impact is low and inconsistent (varies more than an inc...
