How cold will you ride?

[Steph]

Pictured below are a .177 cal and a .357 cal pellet. The .357 (9MM) is used in Evanix Windy City.

Hi, I am Stephanie's husband and This is my Evanix Windy City in 9mm.

Wow! Big bore. Who would have known a scooter forum would have so many air gunners. I wish NY state would allow Turkey and Partridge hunting with air guns. An arrow firing air gun actually hits much harder and more accurately than a bow for taking deer.

There does seem to be an overlap of common interest in scooters and air gun shooters... odd bed fellows.
Chief says it might be a taste for fat squirrel.

No pellet is too large for the notorious house sparrow or starling!

Getting ready to take off for our ride today. It was 37 degrees F. when we took off.

Arriving at our destination at the coffee shop 16 miles later its 35 Degree F. This is not far from the water is why the temp is lower. Wind chill was 20 degrees F. I wore my thickest mittens. My hands did far well, got a little cold at the end of the ride. Wore a lot of layers under my Rev- It Hi-Viz H20 rain jacket and my new thermo riding pants. Also wore winter boots. My tootsie did get a little cold but was not a deal breaker. May need to upgrade the boots. You can see I got my balaclava on under my helmet.

Oof. How many shots out of a fill with that

These long barrel pistols look like they are built on a crossman

[Steph]

For the Windy City about 25 good shots at 120 ft/lbs of energy.

Good for you guys! Be seen out and about to represent for versatile and responsible riding. I should get some 100 mpg (120 mpgImperial) stickers made up for everybody here to stick prominently on their PCX.

A ride? I just got back from hunting and barely made it up the hill to get out of the woods in the snow with my 4WD F-150. My front yard from 5 minutes ago. I am nearly 400 miles south of you. I wonder if Google+ will create a panoramic picture of those three when it backs them up?

The Benjamin marauder is assembled in NYat Crosman and features one of the nicest dual adjustable triggers around. Only comes in .22 though so a UK legal 12ft/lb version is is only 600fps.

I have an airgun forum cohort in Hawaii that shoots small wild hogs (under 100 lbs.) with Evanix 9mms. He likes the Pups.

For the Windy City about 25 good shots at 120 ft/lbs of energy.

That's not bad. What is the trajectory like? How many grains is the pellet?

100 ft lbs can't be enough for hog surely?

Now why would the deer stay in the woods with the silly hunters when they can eat all of the corn they want safely (they even stand in front of the airgun targets) in my backyard. (from ten minutes ago - my wife spotted them)

You can hunt deer with an airgun in Missouri (I don't). A guy named Dennis Quakenbush makes custom big bore airguns here.

This the bullpup airgun forum where I frequent. It's easy to join and they use the same software as the PCX forum.

Last week...



One of my 3 fav coffee shops. Say, what's that out the window?

Today...

[Steph]

Oh no, poor scoots getting cold. Great photography! It was 14 degrees this morning.

[FritzPinguin]

The coldest I experienced here was about 10 C, that was a few years ago when I went up to Doi Inthanon (more than 2500 meters) on a two-stroke bike. The last kms were a pain, because the bike had no almost power any more and the hills are really steep.

Here in Phuket the coldest in winter is about 22 C, so the question should be "How hot will you ride?"

[Steph]

Send some of that warmth my way!
