Thanks Ted, great advice. I would get discouraged shooting arrows and missing the 9 ring. My buddy would say, "wait a minute, think about what you are doing, you are shooting a carbon shaft 70 meters outdoors in the breeze at a 6 inch circle and you are complaining about missing?". It help...

Ok, my hat's off. This game is hard!!!

Started shooting AP last week and holy crap this is hard. I shot bow for the last 3 years. I can shoot arrows at 18 meters into that pistol target and stay well inside the nine ring. When I shoot the pistol just 10 meters away I still throw a 7 a few times in 60. I came into this thinking that with ...

How many cylinders from 80 tank?

Can you guys give me an idea how many fills I can get on an LP10 cylinder from an 80 size tank at 3000psi? And about how many shots per cylinder? Is the FPS adjustable on that gun? The gentleman I talked to when I ordered the gun at Pilk didn't know the answer. Also, should I have a guage on the yok...

No problem Rover, I didnt buy the LP10 to make clean holes. I just would like to take the gun out of the equation as much as possible. Plus I know with archery, the feel of the bow and your body's adaptation to it was very important and I would prefer not to have to switch guns later on as I progress.

Thanks guys, gun is a cheapy IZH46M 7.5gr pellet @ 440fps. Called Pilk today for targets but they are all out. Also ordered LP10 from them which should pick up the speed a little. Ill see if that helps. Difficult to score when you get an inch long tear trailing off every whole.

Clean holes?

Hello everyone! As you can see, I'm new to this sport. I have been a pretty competitive archer for the last several years. I blew out my bow shoulder at the end of November as I was preparing for my first money tournament which would have been in Vegas in Feb. Rather than go insane without shooting ...
