Cricket Carbine-PIC HEAVY-1/9/14Updated groups
I entered a contest Steve was promoting from WWAG. I was 2nd out of 3 contestants…nice odds! Anyhow he gave the option of getting a gift cert for the retail value of the prize. In my case I had won a Webley Raider, I took the gift cert and put that towards a Cricket Carbine. Steve included some nice schwag as well…thanks!

Coda – you´re right on most points but:
A – It´s very fast to re-align it for different barrels. VERY fast.
B – If needed you can buy a computer interface cable and connectors and connect it to a laptop. The Combro website has a downloadable program for it = strings Ahoy !
No problem for me? I use the pencil and paper method anyway? I like to write the results on the back of the target.
From everything I heard they are great for one or two shot testing. Strings not so much. Too much checking and then writing, etc. Also, the adapter is somewhat gun specific so a bit of a hassle with many different gun barrel shapes and sizes. It will beat pulling the tripod/Gamma out every time to check a few shots though. I would say it complements a true recording Chrony. Other vendors make Combro like chronys that do have a separate computer and records shots but they are expensive.

What do you mean? Are they not reliable/accountable?

Wow. Many of us just ordered one of those to play with.

When my Combro gets here, I’ll try two for one….see if I can blow the combro off the end of the barrel and hit the F-1 with one shot 😉
It’s a shame Best Fitting UK tanks aren’t approved by US standards , which BTW is total BS – we Europeans don’t have any lesser requirements regarding the safety. Quite the opposite. BF sells nice Composite tanks for really good price on both the item and shipping too.

Ya, I got bit hard with the airgun bug too, don’t even want to add up the $$ and I still actually need a few things, I spent a wad on guns and am still using a guppy tank with a Joe B valve conversion.. 😀 Funny thing is the wife still thinks it’s cheap compared to past hobbies. I am liking the air guns for several reasons, I can tune and test at home in the garage. I can shoot outside at home 100 yards, I can shoot indoors at the plant 5 minutes away but have to lug everything there, still nice when it is cold. I can hunt and pest hunt with my gear, Great forum and people here. It is not a simple game, it takes knowledge, skill, patience, and a few bucks to get set up and maintained. Thats all for now I gotta go find a deal on another tank.
Just bought an el cheapo Gamo for $50 back the end of September on a whim and got the bug. And here I am 3 to 4 months later buying a darn $1500 pellet rifle? Isn’t that crazy? I’ve got over $4000 tied up in pellet rifles,Hand pump, Shoebox, SCBA tank w/fill hose assy, and 5 pellet rifles and scopes? Heck it’s more that $4000, but I don’t even want to think about it!!!!LOL
Looking back, I have no regrets for the joy it brings me, but dang it…I gotta slow down.
Crap, I forgot about the hundreds of dollars of pellets, F-1 Chorny which I shot BTW, Caldwell Matrix rifle rest, gun cases, targets, etc etc etc
Yeah I hear ya…it’s definitely not cheap. All I know is out of all the hobbies I’ve visited I’ve come back to airguns repetitively…this go around has been going strong since June of 2013…and I don’t see it letting up anytime soon 🙂
