100yds with the Beeman Falcon R & FX Cyclone
FalconRs
I shot a 16 shot group this morning at 100yds with a 2.445″ CTC. I
was using Air Arms 16.0gr which when weighed look exactly like JSB 15.9gr.
I don’t think it was the guns fault that the group was that big. As you
can see there are only 12 holes so at some point I was aiming at
the same spot more than once although I was trying to aim at the
same spot every time. I am most positive that one of the holes is a
3 shot hole but there are at least 3 holes that have more than one
pellet through them which tells me that this group could be much
smaller if I did my part. These are not sorted pellets. They came
right out of the tin randomly. I don’t use a rear bag to support the
rifle so, technically these aren’t bench rest shots. I do have the
front supported and shoulder it .This thing is a laser and I haven’t
even tried the JSB 18.1gr yet…
I am going to try to shoot groups at this yardage with all of my
guns today if the wind stays calm so check back later for more results…
Basically same story with the Cyclone as far as setup and pellets
I did figure out that I can fill the FX to 3,400psi and is seems (much
to my surprise) that this gun is regulated…The shot string ran
a consistant average of 950FPS with an SD of 5.5FPS until it fell off after
24 shots. Pretty good.
Here is the group at 100yds. 1.856″ CTC

Good shooting sir. I would love to see some chrony numbers at that distance!! Of course that’s some risky stuff… I put together a piece of steel to go in front of my chrony so I can get some distance numbers and impact pressers. Don’t want to do that without some sort of a safety measure. Those chronys are pricey.
Thanks guys. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with this Falcon R….
I tried some JSB 18.1gr and it was impressive considering a left to right
8-10mph wind had picked up and the groups were smearing to
the right….The first shot of the gtoup is the one that clipped the
10 ring…Man I thought it was going to be a great group…The wind
had a different idea….
Well the Cyclone has proven itself to be just as impressive as
the other…I received my LDC from Rich in Mich today and put it on
the Cyclone…I really think it help me reduce my twitches in anticipation
of the shot sound….This thing was putting them in the same hole like it
was a guided missle…Just amazing…
There are 24 shots in this group @ 65yds
I love it, a pellet gun out shooting a .22. Those look like good groups to me.
damn fine shooting !

Yea I have done it at 65yds and I was pretty comfortable with it….I think
I could pull it off with the Falcon, looks like the Cyclone might have
blown an oring in the power adjuster wheel..I can feel air coming
from there and it was erratic the last few groups I shot this afternoon…
Will have to tear it down and have look…
It is suppose to rain all day tomorrow but if I get 15min I’ll shoot some
at 100yds and post them..Should be exciting…..lol
