    Reality vs YouTube gun performance for the new guys

    Machines have the ability to replicate actions consistently. I am not a machine, nor do I want to be a machine. When I have shots that are not perfect, I analyze for improvements, but I try not to evaluate negatively any of my past performances. I do it for the education and entertainment of...

    Reality vs YouTube gun performance for the new guys

    The parameters of the review should be stated. If he was reviewing how the product performed direct from the factory, it may have been an honest review. If he was reviewing a unit that may have been tuned, that may be a different review. Gotta love that human input!

    Reality vs YouTube gun performance for the new guys

    I have seen a few YT videos when a guy was testing a scope mount with a half-filled water bottle. Quite the scientific test method! Would anyone allow that test to be performed on the competition rigs? I think they should test optical laser surgery equipment like that and then do surgery on the...

    Reality vs YouTube gun performance for the new guys

    I agree with you that air guns are hard to shoot at long range. I personally chose not to shoot these distances for that reason. I am not familiar with the Es abbreviation. I have witnessed a lot of time spent on a sport practicing and no improvement. Knowledge of the basics theory and the...

    Reality vs YouTube gun performance for the new guys

    Seems like your friend thinks that if he gets a high-end air gun, it makes him a high-end shooter. He may have not put the time in to have the experience and theoretical knowledge to get the outcome he would like. He may be getting his expectations from those around him and is not at the stage...

    Others CO2 pistols trigger pull

    I have had <4-year-old kids shoot Diana Chaser CO2 pistols/rifles setups for first time users. Trigger pull is 2lbs range. Seem to be very accurate package out to 30 yards.

    Average Distance of your shooting sessions

    I pattern at 3 yards when testing a new sight design or cheap air guns. I look for hole in hole capability and what it takes to achieve this goal, or if it is even capable of this goal. I test for the worse results and determine if it is worth putting a good sight on the low-cost equipment that...

    Red dot sight radius?

    Thanks for the good explanation, Chief55. I didn't know why the lens were coated. If I read into this correctly, the sight radius is from the LED to the lens of the focal plane. With the shorter radius, does that explain the stability of the dot versus the instability of a projected laser beam...

    Red dot sight radius?

    Is the sight radius of a red dot the length of the mount? A red dot seems to be as accurate as other sights. It performs as if it has a longer radius. Am I missing something as to why it may be as accurate?

    Guide Ignore User (s)

    I have to support all free speech, especially the speech I don't agree with. This looks like a protective measure for those that choose to use it. It may be their lose. All those that choose to read my comments, please extract the good and discard the rest. :)

    Others What paper target did you shoot today?

    I read on the internet that the body ages 3 times faster than the brain. :unsure: I wish I could draw a squirrel around my bullseyes as well as you do! :ROFLMAO: Nice shooting! ;)

    PCP AirMaks Katran NL HP Unchoked

    What is the purpose of a choked barrel for pellets and slugs? I'm familiar with chokes for shotguns. Wouldn't the restriction negate the rifling effect. Just trying to learn.

    What got you into airguns?

    I got started in AG after I had a rodent problem that I solved with a .22 PB pistol. Chipmunks were destroying my hot tub, and I was not a good shot with a pistol. I knew I would have more damage from the pistol if I could not come up with a better solution for close range shooting. After...

    Rattle snake

    Everything has a purpose in life. They are good for rodent control when you are not out there on patrol! I came up with a new definition of a snake. It is a snake head attached to a long skinny butt. I noticed you didn't try a heart or lung shot. I could find them either. Good shooting!

    Electrochemical Rifling Barrel, maybe we are on the right track.

    Very interesting read. Very similar to Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) and the liquid hone process I was exposed to in the 1970's. The article stated that the process was patented in 1986 and moved around to several companies. The process burns in the rifling grooves by removing barrel...

    Nice to see more and more unfamiliar members joining in on conversations:)

    With all the good posts from the community displaying .22-.35 caliber platforms indicates to me that all the equipment in use is similar to 28oz framing hammers for heavy duty work. I use an .177 caliber, 8 oz hammer for precision tack-driving hammer work. I size my tools for the job needed...

    But Wait, There’s More! Daystate Smart Air Rifles Launched

    There are some pretty radical accessories for this group, but I like what they are doing. Does the crono read while in the barrel :unsure: or as soon as it leaves the barrel. On another note: Did you get the email from me about some of my ideas? Don't worry, you won't offend me. ;) Brad

    New Daystate Performance Models Coming Soon

    The one I like is the Solar powered red dot. I have to walk around in public with my gun out explaining I'm just recharging. I may need bail money! :ROFLMAO::rolleyes:
