You’ll need to know your velocity. Here’s a link to calculator.

Yes I was at Somerville on Saturday AM to see some rifles I haven’t been able to see in Houston. I know I saw your USFT because I stopped and admired each one I saw. I didn’t compete and had to leave early. I was wearing a bright orange BMW shirt.

I’ve been wondering about this for awhile so here goes, is there no advantage in going to a 300 bar tank?

Seemed like the place to ask, Will

I only mention the 20 because I thought I had read it was more…Read more

Being the newbie that I am, I don’t have the knowledge of those frame changes yet. You mention “the last version”, are there other versions as well? More searching to do!!

Thanks, Will

I have looked at the USFT and I admire the design. I was able to talk briefly with both LD and Tim McMuuray at the FT chamionship recently. If I wanted to settle on a 22 the USFT would be in the running but the TM1000 would most certtainly give it a good run for the money.

I also agree with your bike statement about weight and of…Read more

But it’s even more desolate in Arizona! Tofazfou has every right to be angry/enraged at the politics of the situation.

I’d be interested in those 60 yd velocities as well and not too worried about damaging your chronograph. I’d set it up on a sawhorse facing you end to end, nail a couple of scab pieces to one end of the sawhorse so you can set the chrony behind them and then hang your pellet trap upside down so it sets at a 90 degree angle and…Read more

What I asked was why were some of the other forums seemed biased against Air Force guns, but I understand where you’re coming from, eh?

Thanks, Will

The nicest of the “other” rifles I’ve had a chance to shoot was the TM1000. It’s also a single shot, but being basically a Theoben clone/evolution that doesn’t seem to be something that will always be.

I would really like to have a .177/.25 combo since i have a lot of 177 laying around the house but I don’t quite understand what I need to accomplish this. I think I read I needed two complete rifles?? Or is it just another tank and valve?

It’s odd about hogs in Central TX. I hunted my best friend’s ranch in Eastern Burnet county…Read more

If you can explain what you said about the .20 cal I need to know. I knew it would be more difficult to swap .177 and .25 but I’d thought .20 was doable?

If you don’t mind me knowing would you PM me about what the new rifle is going to run so i can start…Read more
