Hello from Nate

Post by nate »

Made my way over here...
You may remember me from such boards as... lols.

12G u/o - not used too much with the house renno's
22LR Izhmash toggle - should get used more

Evanix Blizzard - love the PCP... spent a solid amount of time tuning & get knowledge out to others on PCPs. Getting into Field target & will have a little springer soon hopefully!

love it, dont use it enuf though :\
shoots like a laser, orig stock is way too small (dodgy'd one up out of laminated hardwood) so its nice for target stuff.
Superb action, built like a brick outhouse.... ticks all the boxes!

Whats a PCP? :o

just spent a bit of time getting different tunes for the evanix, different pellet types - showing others what Air Rifles need for accuracy - pellet size is critical, velocity is critical - usual stuff.
developed whats become the default evanix tune - a $2 spring from the hardware store :)

^^ Not a bad little group, what sights are you using, and do you have the target screen in front of you when shooting?
If so, and don't take this the wrong way, but why didn't you adjust up and left to center the group on the X ring - or were you just shooting for group size?
