Got a new air gun today. Compressor won't arrive before Monday, so no shooting for now.

Went to Texas Legends Gun Range and shot these 5 shot groups at 50Y.
The range was pretty empty for a Saturday afternoon.
I was the only one on their rifle range. At some point a guy came and shot a box of 20 rounds of 223 through his new SW M&P Sport and then left.
At the same time I don't blame people to not shoot $0.5/round of 9mm range ammo or 223.....

You wouldn't happen to have a vortex scope on that rifle would you?

The scope is a Hawke Vantage 4-12X40AO
It's a decent cheap scope.

Welcome to the PCP world lol. It’s starts getting real expensive! This is my baby hm1000x .35 cal. I sent it off to get tuned and had a shroud built on it. You can shoot a hog on a road and the deer won’t even pick their heads up. Longest hog kill is 167 yards so far using JSB 81gr pellets

Is there any good stores that sell air guns around Weatherford or Fort Worth/Dallas?

This one came in yesterday.
It's an FX Dream Tac in .22

With the BSA I was not able to shoot consistently better than 0.75" at 50Y.
With this FX I'm hoping to shoot 0.5" or better.

Just shot these five 5 shot groups at 30 yards. The accuracy of the FX is pretty impressive.

God Bless America! You just dove in! Those are some nice guns!

I bet the R10 would shoot better with some 15.89’s or 18.13’s.

The 22 colibri , no powder, has virtually no sound. They aren’t accurate beyond about 30 to 40 ft so they are only good for practicing trigger pull/squeeze and sight pic.

Shooting a bow and arrow inside city limits, regardless of how safe your backstop is illegal too. I also found that out the hard way.

It depends which city.
I used to live in Allen and it was illegal.
Now I'm in Fairview and have done extensive search online to find anything against shooting air rifles. I didn't find anything. Keep in mind that in Fairview, the vast majority of the lots are 1 acre or larger.
Now if someone can find any regulation that prohibits shooting air rifles in Fairview, please let me know.


Bryan: The BSA is in 0.177

Have you tried 8.44’s or 10.3’s?

Shot the FX indoor at 50Y. I'm very impressed.

Brian: I've tried every pellet from 8.44 to 16.1gr. I can get pretty good accuracy up to 40Y. After that it opens up. But that's fine. Now that I'm done with the FX (no point shooting with it in the backyard at 30Y....Need to go to a shooting range and shoot it outdoor at 100Y) I'll just keep working on the BSA and might even send it to get tuned.
