Interesting distance challenge Scott! If it were me I'd have to have a small tent set up already so I could rest a while before walking all the way back! Hey have you tried wrapping the bottle with some fluorescent tape or something?
Well I might have a reason to get a full auto air rifle now, it's to keep the weeds down on the shootin' range
If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?J/K... I've been trying the same myself on a limb about 30 yards out. Haven't dropped it yet.

I have one of those Chinese compressors, but only takes about 10 minutes to hand pump. A good workout is healthy for a feller. I'm mainly shooting sub 25 yd, backyard plinking. When it finally warms up in the high country, I hope to stretch it out like you have. 100 yard tinks would be neat. Dude! I live in Lowgap now, you're right down the road from me. I'm about five miles south of the Blueridge Parkway on 89. I go shopping in Galax now and then, you're closer to me than that is. I need to get some backstops built, but you're welcome to come and stretch it out, I have a Nomad 2 to pump mine all the way up. It still runs about the same amount of shots on the reg (set at 2700) from a 3000 psi fill. I was only filling mine to 300 bar as well because I didn't know I could do it with the Nomad 2, running on a full fill is kinda new to me, I've done it twice, lol. I don't mind the 300 bar fill because I am used to shooting unregulated guns, I just adjust my holdover when it drops off the reg and keep on plinking. I literally had forgotten it was regulated the first few times I'd shot it, lol. We're like ten or 15 minutes away from each other, lol. They still have a lot of power at that range, a harder pellet like the H&N Baracuda will go slap through a board I know to 135 with only 36 fpe. This gun should run closer to 50 fpe with that same pellet.Anyway, let me know and we can do this if you wanna. It's gonna be super nice for the next few days, I'm gonna try to get some brush cleared out for clear shots. I have to get backstops built, I have one at 100, but I need some better ones at different ranges.Let me know man, we could do this and have some fun. I have targets set up at 40, 50, 60, 70, 90, 95, 100, 120, and 136 (or 133 depending where you are, it's 136 from the porch). I am wanting to get some type of HFT range built, but I'm not there yet, lol.
