We have a permanent 50 metre hose connected from the house to the small vegetable garden at the rear of our main garden. Every year it’s the same. Wifey forgets to drain it before winter and every spring it leaks from a cracked plastic connector. Yesterday she went to use the hose for the first...

1) In the Projectiles menu there is no JSB Jumbo RS .22 shown. Instead, I have selected RWS superdome but have changed the weight from 14.50g to 13.43g and ballistic coefficient from 0.160 to 0.023 which I found online. Is this ok or is there a better way of inputting the correct pellet? 2)...

I get really annoyed when someone receives a text in tv program and I can’t read it. It’s obviously important or relevant to the plot. You get a quick glance at the phone in their hand and see the look of shock, horror or concern on the actors face but haven’t got a clue what’s happened. Both me...

I’m just curious. If you want to search on two words which are not necessarily consecutive, is there a way? For example, if I wanted to see posts about which pellet is best for a HW99 and I search the words HW99 PELLET, I get zero results. But if I search the words separately then I get numerous...

A year ago I bought a second hand cheap Chinese Bam .22 rifle and was happy to hit tin cans out to 25 yards. That was about the guns limit. In July last year I joined this forum and after reading so many posts, decided that Weihrauch seemed a good choice. My budget was low so I went for their...

Does anyone else remember your Mum saying this to you as a kid? I still hear these words after 70 years every morning when I have a wash or shower. Normally followed up by “You could grow potatoes behind there” .... Was it just me? And how did they ever get that dirty?🤔 😂

Nice to see R&C have put a bit of thought into their new targets. I have so many with black or dark centres that it’s almost impossible for me to view without losing the crosshairs in the background. 👍

Since retaking up air gun shooting, collecting tin cans and cardboard has become slightly obsessive. It started off with me saying to my wife, “Don’t throw that away I can use that as a target”. She has now fallen into line with my thinking and now asks me, “Is this any good?” before throwing...

Just bought a replacement Titan XS No12 for my Cometa 300 as original broke. Before breaking, the gun was at 10.5 fpe. After dressing the broken spring (shown bottom of photo) it ran at 9.2fpe. Only the top section of the coil broke off originally (as in other photo) but I bought another in case...

I removed the new replacement trigger unit from my cometa 300 wanting to retry the original as I’d worked on it and hopefully sorted its issue. While removing the unit with a rivet punch I noticed these broken metal parts which at first glance looked like a washer. It must have fallen out as the...

I shoot from inside my garage through the rear door with a maximum distance of 55 yards to the small area to the left of our greenhouse in the photos. Problem is that it passes fairly close to our neighbours detached house to our left. The noise I hear when I shoot from the garage from behind...

Ordered cheapish day/night vision gizmo from AliX on Xmas Day, it arrived today. Not sure where it actually came from but air transport was involved. Really can’t beat their updates on your deliveries 👍

Has anyone bought and used a cheaper Ryobi clone battery to replace genuine 18 volt 4.0ah one? I used my Ryobi car vac to clean up the dirt from a knocked over indoor plant. Unfortunately the dirt must have been wetter than I thought and water has run from the vac back down into the battery and...

Got a sample pack of various .22 pellets to test out on my recently purchased HW99s. Shot 5 of each at 20 yards. I’m sure others could get much tighter groups but I was happy that a fair few were within a 5 pence size. Going to pick the closest and try again at 30, 40 and 50 yards, the limit for...

Dear Loro, Thank you for your Christmas Card but next year it would be cheaper if I just buy one myself and just sign it for you.... Or you could just use a stamp with the QR/Barcode still attached. Merry Christmas x (Ps. My wife’s name is Val, not Jill)

I bought one of those magnetic knock down 🦆 🦆 🦆 🦆 targets. Problem was they often just bounced straight back up. Tried to add magnets but didn’t really work. I had a roll of lead left over from roof works. Cut small strips off and weighed them (20 gram worked best). Bent the strips onto bottom...

Got my first HW today, good price and RFD through in a cap and some badges. Tried it out late this afternoon just with open iron sights at 15 yards and was quite impressed with grouping. First of five went high but next four grouped better than I expected for first try of gun. Now my question. I...

There’s been quite a few posts about Cometa trigger problems. I love my 300 but have always had an issue with its trigger. The first stage always felt gritty and left little control over its first stage of firing. I frequently had to apply more pressure on this first stage which would...

Got to love Google Lens barcode/QR reader. Those Gummy Bears are deadly.

Why don’t all manufacturers use numbers on the turrets? When you have an accurately zeroed gun you often have to make elevation/windage changes when conditions change. Invariably this will involve many trial clicks up down/left right. With un-numbered turrets it’s difficult to remember how many...
