Congrats that’s a huge improvement… I’m glad some of the tips I gave ya helped ya advance. One of these days before to long we are gonna cross paths and meet up at the same match, gonna be a good time.

I appreciate it your words. It feels rewarding to me giving out my own honest unbiased experience. I enjoy running these at matches almost as much as I enjoy meeting all the people I’ve crossed paths with since I started.

I refill after every stage. I keep it a habit so I don’t forget and let it end up costing me points. At matches and practicing I run a 74cu ft bottle. I have bigger bottles but I’ve yet to need them. However I do keep one with with me for backup just in case I spring a leak or something. By the end of a match I can continue to fill my gun at probably 270 bar on a decently warm day. If it’s cold out that number can drastically change. As far as how many refills I’ve never checked but I’ll try and pay attention. Ive never had to refill my main tank at a match unless I forgot to charge it or top it off before I left the house.

@@Competitiveairgunning thank you for real information that a .22nrl Rimfire shooter's would like to know before trying out a .22 air rifle for competition. I'm about to purchase a. 22 panthera. I have to figure out tuning and slugs. Any advice about tunes and slugs?

@@Truth2024-f9e your welcome Glad my tips are helping ya get dialed in on your new venture. It’s addicting and fun. As far as tuning goes they are pretty easy I’d watch a video on KZfaq to get the basics and fine tune your slugs after that. I’ll make a video here before to long tuning. With slugs there is a ton of options depending on what cal you get into. I like Zan, H&N, javelins, as well as Altaros. Griffen is another solid option but I haven’t tried them yet. Where ya wanna be budget wise, if your wanting a higher BC, something to hunt with as well as shoot at a competition or if you’re worried about out of stock when you try to restock makes a difference. Some of them can be hard to get hold of with out large markups if you’re in a hurry. I’m about to start making my own before to long.

​@@Competitiveairgunning really, I was looking at the panthera and that's pushing it right now. They're pretty dang expensive. I was looking at jts .22 and .25. To start at least a fill tank and a rifle . I live close to a scuba shop that fills tanks. So unless you have some budget friendly entry level rifle IDEAS, let me know. Thank you ³

@@Truth2024-f9e you are thinking of running JTS.22 or .25 cal pellets? You will fight wind pretty with that low of a BC but I’ve seen someone run one at matches before. If I was going budget friendly and running pellets I’d have an avenger. You can run light slugs as well to get a much better BC for better wind deflection and distance shooting.
