Seems like all three are common issues that every shooter deals with and you did very well. Junky ammo is a choice ! LOL (just kidding with you, I am a budget buyer anyday)

Be careful down there brother. Lot of outages I see.

For sure. I stand far enough away from it during charging. My GX did come with a whip and it does seem to have the correct amount of ball bearings in the female coupling. So I have faith it was at least designed correctly, even if the specs are thousand's off. All it takes is to forget to...

I went with HAM suggested fittings too. Foster brand are pricey. ouch🤑

I would say that my overall cost was under 1000 for my Notos, scope, parts, ammo and GX CS4-I. I put a breakdown in my post of what I have done thus far. At this point, I believe I have a good starter set up. While its not anything like a daystate or Anschultz, it does have enough for...

Nice work. I think either the JSB or NSA are working just fine. Good call on upping the PSI, I think your locked in at that range.

So far I have only experience with the GX CS4-I. I cant complain one bit. Nice and quiet (even though my hearing is shot) lol :p Works as advertised, quick fills, maybe not quite the most accurate on my gauge to bottle, but I only have the one gun. So nothing to really compare to. Still, GX was...

When it comes to steel targets, I can sort of relate to potential injury issues. Regardless of the distance sometimes, steel just causes fragmented splashback. I personally love the sound of ringing steel, but as a longer distance kind of guy, I prefer to have it 100 yards away. But I also love...

By no means, was this thread an attempt to be fanatical or annoying. My personality has been changed maily because of my career/experiences. But I do keep that in check in my discussions. Airguning is a great tool for sure. Anyone that wants to gain more knowledge can certainly take away from...

😂I have never heard mollycoddling before. I have to remeber that one. Our country was founded in firearms. I think today all firearms are a necessary tool to be used for good not evil. As Moose said, defensive. I think the best way to build defensive skills with airguns is to promote...

Could having an airgun with a higher caliber be used defensivly ? If so, would using a realistic target be appropriate? I think that using any airgun builds on your fundamentals of shooting in general. They can translate over to your defensive ones. Sight alignment, trigger control, grip...

Your correct, it definately translates over to honing one skills ! I believe that airgunning is the hidden secret that new/young shooters can learn on. In most places, they arent restricted. (I say most, because it was in my previous state I resided in). One of many reasons I dont reside there...

Well said. I agree with all points. I do like the term defensive weapons vs assualt. When I taught the public about do's and don'ts in firearm self-defense I explained how verbage is critically important. While it may lean toward PC, it still was crucial to how a situation is later...

Im more of an operator than an administrator. lol:)

Sounds good to me !! Good title.

I never had one before, but watched a lot of videos that depicted that loud clanking noise. Getting a quiet pump was pretty high in my needs. Can't understand why most every other pump manufacturer never considers that part important. Especially if your a hunter, I can't imagine doing the car...

Feel free to suggest a catchy thread name. I think "Offensive Target Discussion" would be appropriate?

Thanks. As Moose suggested, we should start a new thread. Perfect for discussion and wont gummy up this paper target for others. (y)

Thanks Moose. We should start a new thread then with target opinion/crutique. I believe it all depends on what you practice for. I see AR500 steel of squirrel, varmit, etc. Turkey for turkey, deer for deer, but when it comes to having to use it for defense (all types of firearms for that...

Good point ! I do have to say that ATF in general are very smart firearm people. Its the politics/legislation that ruined their reputation. But, I had worked and trained with many of them in my career. Some of them could write books on the ins-outs of firearms. But if we can't make fun of...
