Next video I vote to see squirrels and raccoons instead of steel and water.

I was looking for duct seal at Lowes the other day and could not…Read more

I’ve done some researching and found a site that talks about lead levels in members of an indoor shooting club:

quote :Firing ranges have been recognized as potential sources of lead exposure since the 1970s (5).…Read more

The picture is in the basement and we do our living on the first floor, but I bet a good amount of residue can accumulate around the actual muzzle area.

I remember that the Army had decided to close down some full-size indoor pistol ranges built in the ‘70’s because of con…Read more

In retrospect, it would have been a better trap with the top removed, shooting down the length, with sand in the bottom. This will be fine for outdoors though, except the neighboors may hear the beautiful metal “ding”.

That was my big concern, so thanks for sharing the experience.

The benefit of using CO2 is that it is quieter than HP air. If you’re shooting from inside a modern house than temperature is not a concern.

I get about 250-300 good shots out of a 12…Read more

Baraska makes quality microscopes, and pretty good telescopes for astronomy. You would think that it would translate into good rifle scopes.

It could be like Brunton, who makes the best compasses and terrible rangefinders.

As for the price, they…Read more

I used iron sights to knock down silhouettes from 300 meters [look mom, no scope]. My rule of thumb is that if the reticle is not in focus along with the target, then the power is set too high. Out…Read more

When I was in the Middle East, I saw guys from Australia, the UK, Germany, Romania, South Korea, and Yemen to name a few countries.

Yeah, you have to watch out for Pablouk. He’s an inflamatory…Read more

A burst valve on a SCUBA tank? Oh dad, what were you thinking?

Thanks for the laser info. That makes perfect sense.

Roach, was that your video on youtube where you’re shooting arrows/ bolts out of your gun?

Can you assasina…I mean hunt with it, and if so in what season?

By the way, thats sweet!

He examined the tank right there using a special light, and then a mallet for resonance. He said the tank was in excellent condition! Darn that other guy! That’s the last time I take…Read more

They are not visible to the naked eye, and cracks are not characteristic of steel tanks. Cast aluminum tanks are known…Read more

Live and learn.

Starlings are beautiful when you see them as a single bird, but they move in enormous groups that crap on everything. They have effectively made some parks unusable by the sheer volume of crap.

A fill of a 100 cf tank is $5, but the owner said that he was going to make it $6.

In a regular Talon, there is not much…Read more

I once read that the dimples in golf balls help reduce drag. The small dimple in the nose of the CPHP may do something similar.

I can’t convince anyone to shoot through their chronographs at distance. A person could hide it behind a couple of bricks to protect the body, and shoot over it out to 50 yards.

With…Read more

In the military I’ve fired the M-9, M-4/16, M-2, Mark 19, M-249, AT-4, and M-60 (AVIATION), and M-240 B.

With that being said, I have a special place in my heart for airguns.

Some airguns are more than an AR-15 with the US $200 tax stamp, and US $600 can.

The first time: shame on them, the second time: shame on me, the third time it’s fraud -and damn them to retail hell.

I’ll go to the link that dvu0704 provided if they keep…Read more

I purchased a talon SS and received a Talon.

I decided to keep the Talon and got a refund which happened to be in store credit.

I purchased a spare tank, which would not seat properly in my gun (spoke with airforce about it too -possibly a lathe issue) and I returned the tank for a new one.

I never heard…Read more

Anybody, let me know what velocities the talon produces at each 10 yard interval, and I’ll create a more accurate chart for both velocity and energy.

The drop in velocity is not a perfect linear regression like the model shows, but that’s as good as it gets without chronogragh data specific for the talon.

The trajectory graph should be…Read more

Let me know if you have data that says otherwise. I’m looking for chronograph data at ten yard…Read more
