We own a Notos and now thinking of getting a Zelos. Looking to hear more from folks that own or at least have shot one. I guess it's really a Snow Peak so if anyone has information on one of those I would like to hear about that as well. Wondering about quality and accuracy. I know this is very general but just looking for more information from this forum rather than factory blurb.
 
At least your able to get out of the sun and block some winds .. them light poles and tee posts don't help much hunting shade when it's hot summer. man I hated going to Kansas and any plains areas to do jobs .. nothing forever land ..lol
Haha, yeah it helps with wind and sun. My grown sons came out this afternoon and we worked on deer stands today. Really enjoy having them out, they can get more done than i can anymore. My grandsons spent time with my wife's Notos, they love it.

20241022_212710.webpI have struggled a bit with my .25 Zelos. I initially got some somewhat bad advice about pellet weight and some settings. I have settled on FX Atomic pellets and 2000 on the reg. Have not messed with the hammer spring. Shooting 835-840fps, and very accurate out to 90 yards. I have picked off 3 mice from 82yards. I shine a mag light out to a wood pile where these little suckers run around at night. I shoot for the glow of their eyes. Pretty impressed with that shot, if I DO say so myself.
 
I'm disappointed I haven't gotten my Zelos yet. Just have had some things happen, still doing it though. My wife is getting tired of me shooting her Notos, haha. She's after me to get mine bought. I want to. That is quite impressive shooting. Makes me feel good about my choice on the Zelos. I'll have to remember to try those FX pellets.

That's some fine shooting! Heck, I'm happy when I connect from the straw mow rat sniping hide at 18yrd.s ! The eyes are the first thing IR lights pick up, then shoot a mm higher, XX !

Did you finally get your Zelos?

That's some mighty fine long range shooting at field mice! Impressive to say the least.
