How is that achieved?

Where is KNIFEMAKER when we need him?

So I second KNIFEMAKER’S sage advise. Welcome to TAG.

But doing so apparently renders the lower power settings on the PW less reliable for consistency at the those lower levels. If I understand the mechanics of these two parts correctly,…Read more

MrNewbie, suggested moving the top hat out (away from the tank) which, as I understand it, will allow an increased amount of air to escape when impacted by the hammer. More air for each shot with a goal of higher FPS (pellet speed). Is this correct?

Two months…Read more

If you are going to punch paper or knock down targets, you probably don’t need a .25… a .177 or .22 will give more full power shots per charge, thus less down time for charging. If you are hunting small to medium game, the .25 would come in very handy. With AF guns, you choose the caliber, barrel…Read more

The patch (or sometimes just a small sticky on the lens of your shooting glasses) allows the brain to “see” the image only through the aiming eye, AND, the patch allows the non-aiming eye to relax, so that muscles in the lid are not working so hard. It doesn’t sound like much, but if…Read more

But with your eyes, both hemispheres of the brain control parts of BOTH eyes. That’s why eye dominance has nothing to do with right or left handedness. And eye dominance can be stronger in some people than others.…Read more

One of the first things I did was to find out if the shooter was aiming with their dominant eye and if it was the same as their shooting/gun hand… this was all pistol/revolver shooting. Most of them had no idea which of their eyes was dominant until I…Read more

And certainly a laser can be adjusted for 10-20 ft., but the red light might scare the rats… never tried…Read more
