Re: Airforce Edge

I have an edge and it is ok. My son only shot it for a year before moving to the Daisy X40 (T200). I think the T200 or Crosman are better for several reasons. The edge doesn't have a pressure gauge, it is on the lighter side which has it's drawbacks, and is harder to load and keep loaded. If you use...

Re: Need recommendations on outfitting a new shooter

Champions Choice also carries the Crosman/T200 sights for $80. I bought a couple sets for use on savage .22s. They are the same sight as on the Crosman PCP. Which by the way is also quite a good sporter rifle. It's a little larger stock with adjustable comb/lop. I have both X40's and Crosman 2009's ...

Re: score sheets for 3P

JPK, if you have a smart phone, look at TargetScan app. It takes pic of each target, scores, overlays on series/session. Very nice app and has most every target available.

Re: App for coaching?

+1 for Target Scan. Haven't used it too much yet, but for rifle seeing your whole series on one target you get a better view of the true group error and potential sight changes. Very easy to use and pretty accurate in actual hole locations and score.

Re: 3D Printed Grips for Air, Free?

I would love to print a smaller ambi grip for an izh-46m. I got some cad files from Jetter55 (on this forum) a few years back to use as a baseline for the rough outside contour and internal fit areas. I had a friend who owns a cnc shop cut them out of epoxy board that I had laying around. I have rou...

Youth Shotgun

Look at the Tristar Viper Youth. I got my son (very small for 12) the 12 ga youth for around $440 on sale. He moved from a Mossberg Bantam 500 - 20 ga to the 12 ga a couple of weeks ago and his trap scores increased dramatically. The Tristar has a LOP of 13" on the youth stock, not very heavy, ...

T200 Front Apertures

Just bought two T-200 sight sets from Champion's Choice to mount on a couple of savage .22's that came with 3 apertures. They sell a 3 aperture set for the gamo sights on the T-200 for about $6. Not sure of the sizes. They also told me that their 18mm clear apertures will fit these front sights.

Mats

I agree with JHMartin. We bought cheap yoga mats on clearance for $5 ea. They work well for the juniors. They won't last as long as a good mat, but work as a low cost alternative.
