Very beautiful home range!

Got a new tripod today! After extensive research, I hope I made the right choice. I want something that can be used tabletop, but sturdy and tall enough for the field. After a pretty exhausive search, I found a carbon fiber Sirui. The leg lenght is short enough for a really solid bench unit, and long enough for the field, at 52" from the bottom of the saddle. The legs start at 29+++mm and it comes with a rock solid 43mm ball and arca setup.

I played with it tonight and I am really happy with it, and the price was right! $160 for the tripod a$29 for the saddle.

Thanks for the pics. I've been on the hunt for quite a while for a light weight tripod. Most important to me is the thoughts they have about their purchase. Keeping in mind how it applies to our airgun community

Took a hot date to a local TSC and checked out the airgun aisle. Some interesting choices made there...

I wonder what their thought process was… maybe email the pic to corporate? The store employees are in need of retraining to say the least.

I’m trying to lower the tune on the Marauder G3. I lowered it to about 1250psi, but the heat is brutal and the reg has crept up to about 1400 psi.? The heat index maxes out at 125f and then reads HI. It hit HI today. It makes it hard for an old man to do much. I went in the house and Elaine has EBR videos running on the TV

Billm, Damn that's hot! I don't think I've ever been in 125F in my life! I get all whiney when it is 90F around here!

Hope ya get that Benjamin regulator sorted.

I installed the evolve 3d barrel band and side plenum to barrel band Saturday. This shroud isn't moving one bit. Dropped the regulator to 2400, Sunday morning it had crept to 3k. Hmmmmm, not enough time to shoot between rain and mowing, ect. Been taking more time at my dad's as he's getting older so time isn't always available. Hopefully I'll run up to his land this weekend and shoot Billm's shooting challenge this weekend. I purchased a "barely used" fx chrono so I'll be able to get to work on speed test and accuracy. The ol caldwell just isn't working well. Might have shot it 1 too many times . Happy Monday, hope y'all have a blessed one!

On a side note my used Nova Liberty stock I purchased has been in Kansas since the 11th and hasn't moved. Same BS different week w the postal service. One day it will arrive.

I'm still on the hunt for a 30 cal. For high end pest control. It has to be light weight, for off hand shooting be able to push out to 100 yds with the right ammo if needed. Semi automatic or manual. I'm finding that means smaller barrel lenght, slugs or not. FX. American Air Arms etc. Just when I'm ready to make a decision. I find that platform has issues. Thank god for the air gunners sharing their problems. Because every youtube video or new product shows only their best side. For now I'll keep at it

This week I implemented an evaluator module in the genetic algorithm which models vent angle, vent width, vent depth and vent area. It looks like that may have been a missing piece in the GA which dramatically improves the model. What does this mean? Well, sadly, I can't explain that here, but it is a good thing. The first thing it has done is confirm the architecture that Heartland Air is using in their designs and indicate that it can be improved.
