I have designed sights that perform well within the range of the sight's components. I have tackled the issues of operator influences during the testing phase with some success and improvements. The accuracy results that the system can achieve should not be combined with the operator's skill...

You're lucky to have a problem like that! And imagine, there may be more model she would like to try.

Shots 70-74 indicate to me that the highest FPS was when the pressure was at 2050-1900 psi. If this system could be regulated down to that limit, would it be at its peak performance? Or am I missing something or everything? Help me out here, if you can. I don't presently shoot PCPs. Really enjoy...

Black Friday was good to me. I have been promoting the Air Range I started at the Bill Cook Chapter of IW, a conservation club in central Wisconsin. My budget covered the costs for 2 Colt Python revolvers, Colt Commander 1911, Sig 229, Diana Chaser combo kit, Glock19, 20K rounds of .177...

I think it is impossible to learn anything new if you don't fail. If it worked, you already had a good idea it was going to work. It seems counter-intuitive to say I know more now, because I have failed so much. I have learned to laugh at myself before others get the chance. 5 years ago, I...

Being a creative person with a large skillset background, I am always looking for new concepts to learn about. Many of my ideas stretch the imagination for most people. But if they work, they work. I don't put out ideas that I have not verified due to negative critiquing. I do like that ideas...

I have read and reread the posts and it would be difficult to discuss technical facts without the socializing element. Over the 10 years that I have been financially involved in this industry, I have found it extremely difficult to present new technical facts to the experienced operators, even...

My free hand shooting was so poor, I quit using it. I had to prove to myself that the equipment is very accurate, and I can be very accurate by shooting from a highly stable position. By me proving to myself that my skills are capable of giving me the results I want, my confidence improved to...

I use a similar method. I do a pass thru technique on small close-range stationary beads with pellet pistols. I use this method for both off-hand and bag use with very good results. I have found that it is easier to keep a motion going on a consistent predictable path than to try and hold...

After working with hundreds of kids, I have found the most important thing for broad improvement is a steady hold. A pistol will have excellent accuracy if it can be held steady. A steady hold will give the best repeatability. For short range extreme accuracy and what I call the "cone of...

Most people would say that it should be easier to make a close shot than a long shot. That statement applies starting from the equipment's first zero adjustment. Many first zeros may be from 10-30 yards or more. Vertical offset distances vary on many guns from 1/4" to over 4". Hold over...

I have been a member for all most 4 years on several air gun sites. Over a year ago I presented to ADMIN Steve, concepts for a new patented sight that fixes the close-range targeting problems. The sight can be used at 1-100 yards without hold-over or hold-under issues. This is dependent on...

I always go with the cheapest pellet to teach how to shoot at extreme close range. When you can offer 50 shots for a buck, you can afford to donate to a lot of kids. The pellet needs to achieve about 600FPS muzzle to be accurate (+/- 1/8") from 0-15 yards. It does not require much power to punch...

Could a prone shooter use a folding table as the ground base? It would make it easier to get up and still give the stability that the shooter is looking for. The many advantages of shooting from prone are stability of the operator and the equipment, recoil absorption, easier concealment, minimal...

I set up and run the air range at our clubhouse. I do a lot of training with very young shooters with pistols at close range. I am trying to set up monthly "open to the public" practice sessions for kids from 6-20 years old. Training will cover proper pistol handling done safely, pistol storage...

I'm going as an attendee. Would like to get to know some of the like-minded member businesspeople with booths or as attendees. I hope I can get to all the booths, and it should be a great time.

When I think about buying an air gun or any product, I ask myself if I could build it better or at a lower cost. Although I have many skills, there is no way I could do it, even if I spent multiple times the cost. If you could, you should be in business doing it and you should make your fortune...

When pellet testing is being done, is the equipment clamped into position? Would this prove that fliers exist and to what degree? Many shooters have fliers that may be caused by the equipment, the ammo or the operator. Would this not prove that the % of shots that may be fliers should be removed...

My list is long. I need to get the club's air gun range setup again after the Halloween event. The plans needed to be approved and building inspector needs to sign off on it yet. Changes to the range needed to include the capability to dismantle and reassemble it quickly and often. Gotta love...

I agree! For me, the next generations are more important. It is not about me, my kids or my grandkids anymore. It is about the new great grandkids that I need to be focused on. I have to keep improving to stay relevant. They will help keep me young.
