Does anyone have an update as to the new company that was taking over selling and servicing the Kite? Thanks in advance.

> Patch each target once? Please explain how you are doing that. Thanks. I use a small square of paper from a used target and glue it behind the black, then with a sharpie color the holes a bit, nothing fancy. Holes are still easy to score after that, even from the app (my scores are in the 500s th...

Not really. There is no way you can score with those holes once you start getting better groups. (I use Kruger, 10 holes per target, and patch each targets once) Patch each target once? Please explain how you are doing that. Thanks. Dennis [/quote] "Patch" was a miss-type. That should hav...

As I wrote, for practice they're cost effective. Not really. There is no way you can score with those holes once you start getting better groups. (I use Kruger, 10 holes per target, and patch each targets once) Yes, really. For practice it's just fine for me . I'll live with the minute uncertainty ...

Quote : "or printing one's own air pistol targets, can anyone advise what paper stock is used in making official B-40 targets--weigh and type of paper? Thanks in advance." "The result is acceptable for practice and is cost effective." Been there, done that, tried it. Results : 2...

Thank you to everyone who replied with suggestions. I've found a workable solution for practice targets and will reserve use of the Kruger targets for competition. I printed a target on 20 lb buff paper and then put a blank piece of paper behind it and stapled them together in all four corners. The ...

The cost of the paper I linked to is 1.5 cents per sheet. The cost of ink is negligible. I can put two bulls on each sheet and fire five or more shots per bull for practice. The Kruger single bull target is 6 cents ea. plus shipping. I may not live to use all 4,600 sheets of paper, but I can leave t...

For printing one's own air pistol targets, can anyone advise what paper stock is used in making official B-40 targets--weigh and type of paper? Thanks in advance.

With this be 30 or 40 weight Kraft paper?

the fit and finish on them is quite poor.

There are a couple of versions. The "Plinking" ones are not good. The "Econ" ones are ok.

Hope springs eternal. Please update us all after your visits. Thanks!

My results, such as they are, have always been the same whether using RWS Diablo Basic or any of their more expensive pellets. I just went to order more the other day. It seems they're now only selling tins of 300 pellets for about the same price that the 500 pellet tin used to cost. H&N Excite ...

Looking at the Cardinal website they seem to be more of a trap and skeet range than a pistol place unless I'm looking at the wrong website. There doesn't seem to be any version of a web store on their site.Buying an inventory of expensive pistol parts seems weird for them. That was my impression as...

I'm interested in 300 meter open sight high power rifle. I have a Ruger American, .223 left hand bolt rifle on which I put sights similar to those on my Hammerli air rifle. The rifle is ok for entry level trying this event, but the stock is a piece of plastic garbage used to keep the price point low...

About five or six years ago there was someone in these forums making customizable blanks that could be dremmeled down to a custom fit for the Baikal pistol. Does anyone remember who that was?

It's probably more likely the cylinder change that did it. If my theory is correct, the O-ring seal on the regulator piston is leaking, possibly from some dirt. Under normal firing, the piston moves back & forth very little, but when you change cylinders, it will move much further. That may hav...

FWIW, while having the cylinder off my Kite, I cocked and pulled the trigger in non-dry fire mode perhaps ten times. When putting a newly charged cylinder on the pistol, the cylinder lost far less pressure before stabilizing. I have no idea why this is, perhaps crud removal or shifting in the regula...

As an aside, I got my Baikal out last night and it works perfectly even though not used in about four years. Something to be said about some Soviet industrial designs, I guess.

Likely an o ring with the regulator. At 200 it hisses and leaks air from the interior of the pistol where the regulator is. This occurs regardless of which air cylinder I use. Once the pressure drops down to about 160ish it's ok. I'm still using it for net competitor events, but I suspect that it w...

Very hard to say. Getting another importer set up and supplied with parts may take a while. There was a guy worked worked at Larry's for a while who probably has the know-how. His estate may try to sell the entire business with parts, and that could include the import licenses. It could take a year...

I just saw that Larry Carter passed away last December. RIP.

My Kite may need service. Does anyone know what Benelli is doing to sell and service air pistol product in the US? Thanks in advance.
