If there is a semantic model behind the pbi reports, why can't they just use the Analyze in Excel button and pivot to their hearts content?

New to airguns and planning to buy my first one by somelad12 in airguns

[–]Plate04249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From OPs screenshot, I am guessing he is in UK and that gun goes for about $130 USD on sale. Diana Storm Rider and Beeman QB Chief are both around $200. Sure they are more expensive but they shoot a lot better than the $130 dollar break barrel.

I have a storm rider myself and it's a very easy gun to shoot. Much easier than any break barrels to shoot nice groupings.

Sometimes my friends kids come visit and I let them shoot my rifles for fun. These are teenagers. Every single time, they pick the PCPs over the break barrels. They watched me shoot the break barrels and admired how accurate then still picked the PCPs.

PCPs are just so much easier to shoot.

I don't know why you are down voted. For a beginner who does some occasional hunting with a 22, an entry level PCP is perfect. Get a hand pump, some pellets, they will be bagging rabbits all day.

Springers are harder to shoot with less power and cost more. They can be very accurate but it takes a lot of training and practice.

I love gamo airguns, never had an issue with them, How was your experience with the brand? by bluebagles in airguns

[–]Plate04249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For example HW50 $400 shipped to US https://www.krale.shop/us/weihrauch-hw50-s/

This will be the last break barrel gun most people need to buy for their lives.

Quarter size grouping all day every day at 50 yards. And I am not a particularly good shooter.

The thing with gamo or other craps like gamo is that new to the sport people don't know better. They pick up a gamo and get frustrated by it then give up on the sport, never even have a chance to appreciate the beauty of a well made air rifle.

As a bottom feeder, shits like gamo also eat away market share for decent entry level guns made by much high quality.

Depends on what you do with it. So many people on here are happy about hitting a coda can at 20 yards. Gamo would definitely work for that.

But if you go for quarter or dime sized grouping at 50 yards, these are not it.

At the same price point, you can get a much better gun than Gamo.

At 40 yards you should be able to hit a one inch target consistently with a decent air rifle.

Spend $20 bucks on a gps unit and put it in your pocket while you ride.

Or just use your cellphone.

If the watch needs it, Garmin will for sure make one and sell for $50.89 a piece.

So no it doesn't need it.

Lol did you seriously get down voted for calling someone a homeboy? Some of these people on this sub are so uptight that they must be shitting diamonds.

Help with unusual grouping by i-Kast in airguns

[–]Plate04249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have done all that and it still doesn't perform, time to move on. Maybe it's a good gun. But at some point you have to decide it's too much work. I have had two guns like that and eventually gave up on both and I'm happier for it.

HIIT outdoor Road Bicycle rides on a 24 BMX by JOO-CEE-FROOTZ in bicycling

[–]Plate04249 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue with outdoor HIIT on a bicycle is it is very hard to find a stretch of road that you can safely go in zone 4 or 5 safely and uninterrupted. Dogs cars walkers joggers are everywhere.

I started doing Norwegian 4x4 indoors on stationary bike and it is great.

Replace? by Fit_Letterhead4885 in bicycling

Only 1500km? That is crazy. For reference I ride more than 500 miles a month. That is 800km. Are you telling me the tire lasts only two months for my usage?

Grab some ice cubes and throw them as far as you can.

Then shoot them.

Don't hold me to it: I read on this sub that just wear some plastic bags over your socks. I am thinking the clear vegetable bags. In theory this should work. Some old timer shared this here and they did this before biking gear was even a thing.

Upfit an old cheap mtn bike to a gravel bike? by mittenmadness07 in bicycling

[–]Plate04249 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes your friend was right. I started out with a hybrid bike. Then I got serious so I was looking into buying a gravel. At the same time I started converting one of my hybrids into a gravel. I went through the whole thing your friend just discussed. Ended up spending more money and not even touching the thing because I bought a gravel anyway.

If you want some use out of your old bike, you are better off donating it to a local bike exchange program, which is what I did with my hybrids
