Thank you folks so much for the kind words. I haven't been doing too well lately. Spent four days in the hospital with several kidney stones and still trying to get strong again. I haven't been working in the shop for about two weeks and miss it a lot. I've got a few ideas to try, but just don't feel strong yet. I've been taking dilaudid for pain and it is yuk on the body. I am off of it now, so things should pick up soon. Thanks again for your compliments. Posted Image

Stopped by just to say Hi and now to add wishes of speedy recovery. As for what the others have said , it's true all true. Thank you Smitty.

Bill, I've had the best luck when the non tag band rolls over and around the tag end (sort of like making it a tube wrap over) before tying and yes rubber scrap for the tie off seems to be more forgiving. Don't pre-stretch too much- appears you may be at the diminishing returns point on the stretch.
The Blackie looks awesome! I like the design execution

Thanks everyone! Due to some physical limitations I've sent the Blacktail and a Danny custom wide fork out east for field testing. Watch for updates in a week or two.

Pete? Can you hear me now?

It is very accurate, with the simplicity of a spring gun.

I take the best of it with h&n fied target trophy pellets.
Don't know the power with the new spring and seal, but i manage to shoot a walnut at 50m, and a soda can at 75m, more than enough for me

iirc those H&N's are what the Beeman Field Target Specials(made by H&N) are based on and the 97 prefers them. Seems to pretty universal among the 97 series.
I have 3 full sleeves of the FTS and a sleeve of JSB Exact for back up. Somehow managed to end up with a sleeve and a half of H&N Kodiak Gold 10.5 grain pells must be leftover from the R1 or Diana 40.
Excellent shooting at 50 and 75m , that takes some serious ability. I was shooting 10m quite regularly. People scoff at shooting so close but offhand at 10m is actually tough when the 10 'ring' is the size of a period. . ← that big!
