Heavy pellets
I gave up on springers and went the PCP route. After a year, I have ZERO buyer's remorse on that decision. I sold a collection of Winchesters for the PCP and compressor and am so glad I did. -

Heavy pellets
I had a scope on a springer that would shift to the right a quarter inch with every shot. Holding on center it would draw a horizontal line to the right the more I shot. That double-recoil-scope-destroying stuff is real! -

New to Air Rifle hunting
Oh yeah definitely not sporting. I'm shooting off a sandbag which is about as far from 'sporting' as you can get since it removes the shooter as much as possible. If it were sporting I might injure one. I like being able to reliably choose where in their head I put the pellet so they aren't... -

New to Air Rifle hunting
I got tired of walking all day and not seeing anything so now I cheat. I have an automatic cat feeder that drops peanuts in front of my archery target year-round :) -

Pellet Trap for SIG M17
+1 on Plumber's Putty https://smile.amazon.com/Gardner-Bender-DS-530-Duct-Seal/dp/B000VZPWZW/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=duct%2Bseal&qid=1639003764&sr=8-3&th=1 I put little 2x2s in front to hold it up and to give me a place to put the army men. Serves 'em right--shoulda joined the Coast Guard! I'll... -

Air Venturi Avenger
That sucks, man. Sorry to hear it's giving you fits. FWIW, I had a Benjamin NP Elite in .22 and hated it. I tried sand bags and artillery holds and the best I could do was a 4" group at 30 yards. The more powerful the gun is, the more the dual recoil seems to affect the shot. If I get a... -

What speed loader are you using for this? The worst thing about these fast shooters is reloading them! I put some 6" plates on my back fence for similar speed shooting: https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipM6KLcMp6X8bER4c2yZ7aN7syKNbuV0wFMftDZj -

Back Yard Archery Target
Thanks! It was sooooo much work but I wanted to make this as safe as I possibly could. I don't drive so I welded a big platform on the back of my bike. It handled 120# of mulch and the 2x12x12s just fine. I think it hauls lumber better than my buddy's Ranchero would :D -

Back Yard Archery Target
I think I'm finally happy with the archery target. I'll get the lighting finalized after I get a roof on the firewood storage but I can see clearly to shoot at midnight. I added a bunch of rubber-covered hooks to hang all the bows up. When 4 people show up to shoot we run out of table space... -

Crosman DPMS-Umarex HK USP
I love the DPMS. I got tired of the co2 dropoff and ran a paintball tank to a dummy cartridge. With the 300 round mag on it shoots forever. I couldn't tell you how many thousands of rounds I've put through this thing over the last year. One thing I don't like about it is the weight of... -

Basement Range is now HOT!
Nice! I set up a range earlier this year and had that same problem. The new 300 round mag for the DPMS works really well. I also converted it to HPA so there's no drop off. A 13ci bottle is good for ~1200 shots. New problem: the trigger is so heavy(~10#) that I now pull it with my middle... -

Been playing with this for a bit
Wait, is that just a block of aluminum that you machined? -

Easy Gong Target
You can buy round steel plates for 4 or 5 dollars on ebay and it's easy to drill a few holes in them. I've found that 1/8" makes a nice TING! with my .22 but 1/16" dents and doesn't sound like much. I've got a frame that I've hung targets from 1" to 6" to suit shooting from a bag to standing. -

Compressor oil/water sep question
I'm curious about this myself. The water separators I've seen are pricey ($2-300) and require regular changes of some medium. I watched a tear down video of my rifle and it seemed a simple device. The manufacturer has parts support. I feel like I can fix whatever breaks for about the cost... -

Kral Bullpup
Whoa! That looks great! I might go that route if I don't get used to it. -

First PCP Purchase... Now I Wait.
That's a well-named gun! Thing looks like a tank! I just got my first PCP a week ago. I can't stop shooting it. I sold most of my real firearms that I hadn't shot in ages to pay for it all and couldn't be happier with the decision. The Yong Heng compressor is doing great so far. You... -

Kral Bullpup
Got my first PCP! It's a Kral Puncher Breaker Silent .22. I couldn't be happier with it. The trigger is the nicest I've ever had and the side lever is super smooth and snickety. I'm getting 5/8" groups at 40 yards with JSB Exact Heavies (18g). From a bag it's pretty rare for me to miss... -

What not to do with high pressure
Thanks for the heads up! I didn't know about the carrier. This definitely would've happened to me at some point if you didn't post this. I appreciate it!
