Open FT with my TX 200

(1/3) > >>

barcabarca:
I am hoping that my new TX 200 will do well for me in the upcoming matches.  It is in .22 but is under the US FT 20 FPE limit (16.45 fpe) and seems to do well with CP Box pellets.   I do NOT use straps but do use a shooting jacket from Creedmore Sports.  Anyone else shooting open springer???

SciGuy:
I have my TX setup for 12fpe to shoot WFTF class, but will in open piston when no other WFTF shooters show up.  Just got to get through daughter's softball to make it back to our monthly shoots.

barcabarca:
Sci Guy, are you shooting .177 I assume?  I am a bit worried about the drop of the .22 over about 35 yards, but hopefully, it will hang in there. It's funny, I sold a HW 97k because I thought it might be a bit easier to replace, but it seems to have felt more "right" than my LH TX 200 does...I'm not sure why, maybe I need a few tins through it so I can understand the mojo of this particular beast.  Another thing. MY TX is a little bit um.. twangy... is that how yours is?

SciGuy:
your 22 at 16.5fpe will have about the same drop as my 177 at 11.6fpe.  The biggest problem with 22 is when the match director decides to use .25 kill zones at 10-15 yards  :o  For the longer shots your 22 will work great

I got my HC one week and 650 pellets ago.  Mine is a bit twangy - rather than a "Snkt!" It sounds like a "Blaaat!"  Seriously, there is a bit more reverb and longer vibration than I expected.  Mine is a refurb, in otherwise great condition, and I may just be too concerned about things I shouldn't as I am getting adjusted to this new rifle.  Otherwise, it's a beauty.  I had some concerns with accuracy, then cleaned out some nastiness from the piston head with a q-tip, and things seem much better tonight.
