No need for me to be in between. You can contact FX USA or Sweden directly through their normal channels 👍

@jeffkrauss5582 2 года назад

I don't why they just don't call it barrel whip when talk about harmonics

@AEAC 2 года назад

Probably because the barrel pressures in airguns are so comparatively low in relation to a powder burner that there may not actually be "whip" like you'd see in an m70 or whatever. They probably vibrate more than anything.. making them susceptible to harmonics. That's my best guess. Steve

Sweet, subscribed to this channel too. I hope to attend the next one. Thanks for bringing us along, you rock bro! I just recently got into air gunning from bow hunting and powder burners. Arrow shafts and Ammunition are so expensive right now and I still want to target practice and do pest control which I was previously doing with a 22 rimfire or a blowgun with darts. Now i can shoot the pests off the wires and steel roofs where I couldn't with my powder burners. Your channels are really helpful, much more than all the others out there. Keep it up, Ace!

@bruceparker5377 3 года назад

I'm just getting into Air guns. This discussion about the FX M3 and the harmonics is so far over my head, I am drowning. Lots of great information if you can follow it. I could see if I made the investment in one of these with the same set up they have, I would have to go to classes for 6 months or more to understand how to operate it properly. I have a Hatsan Carnivore and a Benjamin Trail in .22 cal. model BTN292. Haven't been able to shoot much, but I have shot some rounds from my window. Great video. I'm drooling.

@heithwatkins 3 года назад

The gentleman who filmed this has 2 channels. 1.AEAC 2.AEAC VLOG The vlog explains how to tune. It's not nearly as complicated as you think. Something like the Air Venturi Avenger is a great place to start with a easy tunable rifle. AEAC covers it all. Avenger is only $350 bucks.

@joshuagibson2520 3 года назад

The comment above me is good advice. I started out with an Origin instead of the Avenger because I didn't have an HPA compressor yet. Don't get intimidated. There is a ton of great youtube channels sharing airgun knowledge and it's an excellent community and group of people. I just got into it heavy about a year ago. Just take the time to soak up all the knowlegde on the forums and here on youtube and you'll be on your way in no time. Never be afraid to ask questions either. People have been more than happy to help me along my journey. Wish you the best...

@bertbccfu9564 2 года назад

That's awesome I'd love to see more of the affordable guns be able to compete to show you do not need a $10,000 setup to be a good shooter, I'm shooting an AEA hp varmint .25 with a lot of my own personal mods ,I feel like I could go head to head with a lot of these guys with high end guns, As long as you have most importantly a consistently accurate gun in the end it's all in who is behind the trigger ,

@heithwatkins 3 года назад

Now at Ken Hicks........ Looking good brother. He looks way more fit now. Unless it's some kind of camera distortion that I don't understand. 👍

@EarthSurferUSA 2 года назад

I almost did it guys. The FX 35 cal is actually on stock. I just have to make a small deposit tomorrow and buy it as Pyramyd and I agreed. But I am backing out of it. I have not been convinced of it's dependability. I have had enough problems with that in this industry, and I never see a YT test by a knowledgeable guy who is really testing the gun, but just a paid sales advertisement. I am not a fan of their sales techniques either. I am a manufacturing expert, and I see what they did there. So I am leaving FX alone.

@bertbccfu9564 Год назад

Does anyone know if the AEA air guns are represented at any of these shoots ? Or if anyone uses them in competition ? I know they do not have the prestige or the price tag lol of a Daystate or an Fx of course , I have an AEA Varmint Hp .25 that I have done quite a few accuracy mods to and that gun can really shoot, I have surprised a lot of people with the accuracy of that rifle , if I do my job It can hold a quarter at a hundred yards even better if im really in the zone , My record shot that my buddy witnessed and also rangefinder verified was a 108 yard headshot on a European starling, They are an invasive species and we are loaded with them , I do my best to help the local bird population because they will go in and eat eggs then lay their own eggs and make the other bird raise the Starling Young, They are really vicious disgusting Birds , but anyway back to it I didn't know if anyone used any of the AEA guns at these events,

@plantbro1964 Год назад

You commented on how that person's rifle has a bolt that you only have to pull/push the bolt rather than having to first lift up on the bolt then pulling it up then pulling the bolt back then forward. Years ago Browning made a .22 caliber rifle that used a bolt just like on that pellet gun. About 20 or yesrs ago Browning designed one of their hunting that used a threaded muzzle device that you turned to compensate for what back then was termed: barrel whip. During that time people wanted an accurate lightweight rifles

@airguns_rc 3 года назад

Awesome video Steve, It was great to meet you in person again at RMAC, and having some conversation with you. It was cool to see me in your video and my Impact with the big scope wheel. I used that for Precision Marksman, Standard Slug Event, Speed Challenge, and 100 yard bench rest. RMAC was a blast and I will be back next year. Everyone there was amazing. Thanks again for filming the RMAC event.

@shenmisheshou7002 2 года назад

This kind of shooting seems totally equipment centric. I kind of prefer three position, 10m, or action shooting. There, it is the shooter that makes the difference because pretty much all good 10m air rifles can shoot 600.

She was definitely right about being consisting with your hold. The red wolf seems more sensitive to it than other rifles I have shot.

@Slapsamillion 3 года назад

The harmonics/setup interview was crazy; the level of detail to minor things. I wonder if they tried different moderators, bipods, tanks, w/ & w/o scope lense caps (lol), etc, and compared slight differences 1db might make. There is also that modular silencer that's available.

Question…if I carbon fiber tube my barrel and make it ultra stiff…would this tuner still work? My SK-19 has a barrel that is thicker than my marlin .22 Lr. It hangs by the lcd and the stock on 2 hooks coming off the headrests of my Sierra and it’s never out …so my point is…would it make a difference worth the cost. The SK is sub MOA at 100 right now in a gunvise and perfect conditions. BTW I have a ton of respect for Mr Ken Hicks but I also am concerned for his health. He looks as though he has lost weight and doesn’t look healthy. God bless him and I hope everything is okay🙏 He has contributed so much to our community and I just wish him the best. Thanks for another very informative video. God bless all!

Ken is good. He's actually ultra healthy now... which is how he looks so good. I suspect the HBT could be advantageous for most any setup but we're all in the early stages of learning with it, so who really knows for sure? Steve
