Thanks for sharing the pics

We never disposed of it. Just took it out for some ballistic testing and then carried it back home as a trophy. Infact i bet it has now appreciated in value for ankesh

Pratik & self did the same thing two weekends back. The place is awesome, and the company even more!

Kshitij & Kesh, I have a few old Nokia E & N series cellphones ready for disposal. Would love to do this to an iPhone, though!

@essdee, it was fun shooting with you and pratik. i look forward to doing it again soon. also, next time i hope you guys bring along few of your knives, would love to have look at them!

@basu, i guess we are a little crazy to drive out of town every weekend with a trunk full of guns, pellets and scuba cylinders!

but what fun it is! thanks to this forum, we have been able to meet like minded, fun and equally crazy guys!

Guys!
> The entire sentiment / philosophy of "Plinking to Glory" has been enunciated by you guys

> When you go out with "Technicality" in mind - The fun stops

> Technicality happens by the way & is incidental....like exchanging ideas on "Tuning" etc....
> Experimentation is more like it - trying different pellets, size & shape of targets, distances etc is what constitutes the "Fun" aspect...& of-course the opportunity to try out different ARs

> Am I right guys?
> The more we indulge in this past-time - You're in "Cloud 9"

Wrt the precihole, am pretty sure once we get the trigger pull sorted, it would shoot pretty accurately at 50 meters.

Inspired by you guys I tried this today and confirmed this for 25 meters using my 3 rifles, Orion, IHP 35 and SDB 65. Unfortunately my range does not get much longer. I could probably get 30 meters but would have to stand next to a gate on a busy road where a crowd might collect to see what i am doing

Kshitij / Kesh,

>Ah! Missed out the last plinking session as I had some family commitments....looking forward to post Diwali sessions

>Can understand your minor frustrations shooting with PH NX100

>Basic difference between shooting a Springer / Gas Ram AR & a PCP is that the former has piston moving forward to compress air which causes a certain amount of vibration & fore and aft recoil which is extremely minimal with PCP....
> Shooting a PCP is a cakewalk compared to shooting a Springer or Gas Ram which needs a certain skill in trigger pull & follow through

> This a challenge - when overcome through extensive practice can be true fun...
> PCPs produce higher velocities compared to Sringers & Gas Ram hence attain longer ranges....and less vibration produce tighter groups...
> For more than average shooters getting a group of 3/4" at 50yds with Sringers / Gas Rams is commendable....
> All said & done these two types of ARs are a class apart....Viva la Difference!!!!!

Crowds are best kept at a distance. You never know how they respond. I use a rectangular gun case for this very reason. Till date people in my building think I go for music (keyboard) lessons every weekend. Though they are still wondering what the scuba tank is for. [emoji13][emoji13]

Good one Kesh

Should anyone venture to ask ....you can tell them that "This Keyboard works on compressed air

In fact there are accordions that work on compressed air

@bennedose, when ever the opportunity comes up do try longer distances.
