The Stargate project, based at the Centre for Digital Library Research at the University of Strathclyde, will explore the use of static repositories as a means of exposing publisher metadata to OAI-based disclosure, discovery and alerting services within the JISC IE and beyond. Static repositories were developed as an alternative to fully fledged OAI-compliant repositories and have been implemented successfully within the Open Language Archives Community as a means of widening participation in OAI-based systems and services. The project builds on the successful use of static repositories by HaIRST project in JISC's FAIR programme. It also builds on the technical architecture developed by Heriot Watt University in their PALS I project OAI-compliant metadata repository for a specialist publisher of e-journals. The project's primary aim will be to lower the technical barriers to the implementation of OAI-compliant repositories, thereby enabling small publishers of electronic resources to participate more readily in OAI-based disclosure and delivery services within the JISC IE and beyond. Specifically, it will implement a series of static repositories of publisher metadata, demonstrate the interoperability of the exposed metadata through harvesting and cross-searching via a static repository gateway, and conduct a critical evaluation of the static repository approach with publishers and service providers. The project has two key objectives to: build an interoperability demonstrator based around the static repository gateway developed in the HaIRST project and dovetailing with the OAI-based architecture developed in PALS I; develop tools and guidelines that will facilitate the implementation of static repositories by small publishers that wish to expose their metadata to OAI-based services. Project start date: 2005-10-01. Project end date: 2006-05-31. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.2%.
sword project
SWORD Project has developed a lightweight protocol for depositing content from one location to another. It stands for Simple Web-service Offering Repository Deposit and is a profile of the Atom Publishing Protocol (known as APP or ATOMPUB). SWORD has been funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) to develop the SWORD profile and a number of demonstration implementations. The SWORD vision is 'lowering the barriers to deposit', principally for depositing content (any content!) into repositories, but potentially for depositing into any system which wants to receive content from remote sources.

uk theses digitisation project
Digitising at least 20,000 paper-borne UK theses will 'kick start' the EThOS service, which will allow open access to theses in electronic form. The project will deliver a fully operational, easily scaleable and financially viable prototype of an UK e-theses online service that will enable users, via one single web interface, to access the full text of electronically stored theses after selection from a database of UK theses. UK postgraduate theses are a very important source of primary research output but, says Colin Galloway, project director of EthOs, "There are currently thousands of theses sitting on the shelves of UK academic libraries, many of which will never have been read by anyone other than the author and supervisor. Even in those cases where there is knowledge of their existence there is no easy access to their content, with the result that potentially useful information is disregarded purely because of logistic/bureaucratic impediments." Under this project, 20,000 digitised theses will be freely supplied as open access, enabling all researchers regardless of location or time to search for, identify and order digitised UK theses, a resource which has had limited exposure via the British Library catalogue (metadata only minus abstract) and the commercial subscription Index To Thesis product. The theses will be supplied to researchers as pdfs. The researcher will be able to read the thesis image on his/her computer screen but, by printing the pdf, he or she will get an exact surrogate of the original thesis. By sourcing surrogates from the electronically stored copies, the original paper theses will be accessed less frequently and so will be better preserved. There are around 500,000 paper theses originating from UK Higher Education Institutions and dating from 1730. Although the project is digitising only 1% of the overall total, it will target the most 'popular' - those that are most likely to be requested and supplied to researchers - so the greater impact will be to release EThOS digitisation resources to digitise further theses.

The contemporary experience of users on the Web has undergone marked transformations owing to trends such as Web 2.0, Cloud Computing and the associated user-centered propensities. These transformations have had significant impacts on user experience (UX) and the expectation of how digital libraries should be facilitated. This project (UX2.0) addresses the requirement of repositories to fully engage the end users who have become less tolerant of badly design system and expect Web 2.0 experience as norms.

YODL-ING will use technology to enhance and embed repositories into the information infrastructure of the University of York and will offer re-usable solutions and recommendations for the wider HE, JISC and Fedora communities. Working with project partners, YODL-ING will build two significant services. One will utilise the SWORD protocol to expedite deposit into a number of repositories from a single deposit interface. The other will offer a simple, yet scalable solution to access control, enabling the expression of policies in machine-readable format and utilising Shibboleth to control access to users at York and at any other Higher Education institution. Crucial to this is that we maintain the ability to offer a hybrid repository, where access controlled content is managed alongside open access resources. The project will also explore tools, semantic approaches and web services to enhance metadata generation, using 'crowd intelligence' approaches, combined with existing workflows. Work on accessibility will ensure the widest possible support for users and a study of digital preservation will facilitation preservation strategy planning for the long-term.

ark project
Analysing Raptor at Kent (ARK) is a project adopting the production version of the Raptor toolkit and using it to improve our understanding of the demand for and use of electronic journals and databases, by the staff and students of the University of Kent. Raptor reports allow assessment of the usage of each Academic school, which can use this data to ensure provision of resources appropriate to the needs of users and to improve internal charging models. The project builds on the work of the successful Raptor pilot programme at Kent. The pilot established the viability of running a pre-release version of the Raptor toolkit, on the UniversityÆs servers. This pilot also made a preliminary assessment of management overheads, software reliability, response times, support costs and the usefulness of Raptor reports to the needs of the Library and IT services.

The Community Dimensions of Learning Object Repositories project aims to identify and analyse the factors that influence practical uptake and implementation of learning object (LO) repositories, with a focus on social and cultural issues in support of Programme Objective ii. It will explore the use of LO repositories within learning communities based within single institutions as well as those that exist across institutions, regionally, nationally and internationally. Diverse learning communities are represented through eight project associates with considerable expertise in the development of LO repositories. The project partners will work closely with these associates to develop and test solutions to emerging requirements in support of uptake and implementation of LOs and LO repositories. Outputs include case studies and reports on a range of technical and process/workflow solutions; structured guidelines; and recommendations for institutional strategy and policy, that will be tested by a wide range of learning communities within a range of use cases. These outputs will be of benefit to the wider FE/HE community, particularly to senior managers and those implementing repositories. There will also be benefits to those engaged in initiatives working with other repository types as the project will collaborate closely with other Repository Programme projects to identify areas where common issues and solutions occur.

This project is part of the Enhancing JISC data services for Teaching and Learning project cluster in this particular programme. The main focus of projects in this cluster is to improve use of existing JISC owned resources through the JISC data services for learning and teaching. Through a number of strategic investments by both the JISC and the ESRC, the UK academic community has access to a Collection of Historical and Contemporary Census data and related resources (CHCC) which are available in digital format. Whilst individual data sets are used extensively in research they are significantly under used in learning and teaching programmes within HE. There is clear evidence that the CHCC could be used more widely in learning and teaching programmes. The project will contribute to the DNER and will increase the use of the CHCC in learning and teaching by improving accessibility to the primary data resources; developing an integrated set of learning and teaching materials; improving awareness about the contexts in which Census data can be used in learning and teaching; integrating contextual materials; providing access to Web-based data exploration/ visualisation tools and developing resource discovery tools. The central aim of the project is to develop CHCC into a major DNER learning and teaching resource. The key objectives are to: - Promote increased and more effective use of network based data services for problem based learning and student project work across a broad cross section of learning and teaching programmes; - Develop an integrated Web-based learning and teaching system that links together data extraction and visualisation/ exploration tools with comprehensive learning and teaching resources; - Significantly increase the Census user base by increasing use of the CHCC in learning and teaching; - Build new user communities by promoting increased awareness of the CHCC and its learning and teaching potential; - Improve the productivity of teachers by significantly reducing the overheads required to incorporate; - Census data related resources into learning and teaching programmes; - Improve access to key primary data sources and related resources; - Minimise any delays in getting the key 2001 Census outputs used in learning and teaching.

data.gov.uk is a UK Government project to open up almost all non-personal data acquired for official purposes for free re-use. Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Professor Nigel Shadbolt are the two key figures behind the project. The beta version of data.gov.uk has been online since the 30 September 2009 and by January 2010 more than 2,400 developers had registered to test the site, provide feedback and start experimenting with the data. When the project was officially launched in January 2010 it contained 2,500 data sets and developers had already built a site that showed the location of schools according to the rating assigned to them by education watchdog Ofsted.

Docusend will contribute to the development of the JISC Information Environment by creating a one-stop document delivery service for handling journal service requests, which is hospitable to being accessed via other portal and broker services. It will support the JISC's aim of integrating access to services by linking document delivery to a number of JISC initiatives to provide seamless access to journal resources from resource discovery through to delivery. Docusend is part of Join-UP, a cluster of four projects (Docusend, zetoc, Xgrain and ZBLSA) which aims to realise the full potential of bibliographic services by informing users about the location of third-party services on the materials referenced therein and the means, where appropriate, to connect automatically to request and delivery mechanisms. Join-UP contributes to the Discover/Locate/Request/Access structure of the Information Environment. The overall aim of the project is to create an accessible, easy to use, one-stop, integrated journal article delivery service. Docusend aims to bring together a wide variety of document delivery and related services in ways that appear transparent and seamless to the user. The objectives are to: Provide seamless access to journals from resource discovery through to delivery Develop the capability to act as a national gateway for document delivery requests Build a consortium of content providers through partnerships and links with a number of suppliers including traditional resource-rich libraries, publishers, the JISC's data services, learned societies, etc; Deliver journal articles in electronic format wherever possible (whether born digital or through electronic delivery of print sources); Test and, if feasible, implement direct end user requesting and end user delivery.

endangered archives programme
Endangered Archives Programme aims to contribute to the preservation of archival material that is in danger of destruction, neglect or physical deterioration world-wide. This is achieved principally through the award of grants in an annual competition. The grants provide funding to enable successful applicants to locate relevant endangered archival collections, to arrange their transfer to a suitable local archival home where possible, to create digital copies of the material and to deposit the copies with local institutions and the British Library.

This project investigates current and future needs among UKresearch and education community for a more fine-grained authorisation scheme that would allow service providers to take into account of the levels of confidence in identifying a remote entity requesting for service access. Such a fine-grained authorisation scheme is attractive to service providers offering resources with varying levels of sensitivity and/or wishing to tailor their security protections based upon risk levels. Service providers may wish to restrict access to more sensitive resources only to those who have gone through a more stringent authentication process. Aims and objectives: To investigate existing definitions of LoA at the international level; To build community consensus and make proposals with regard to standard definitions of LoA for use within the UKHE sector; To examine the current applications of LoA to various types of resources; To make recommendations for appropriate policies and practices through building community consensus, in using the appropriate LoA as defined by the worth and sensitivity of the resources; To identify any gaps in existing authentication and authorization policies, procedures and infrastructure structure and processes in the use of LoA in long term in the UK education and research community.

The geoXwalk Gazetteer project was originally funded under the Infrastructure programme. The main aim was to develop a demonstrator gazetteer service for the purpose of enhancing geographic searching within the JISC Information Environment. The rationale behind the project is that there is currently no unified entry point to assist in geographic searching within the existing academic network as each information provider /service adopts different geographic coding conventions (some use postcodes, others place names, some grid references etc.) The final Phase V of the project will allow JISC to assess its readiness for transition to service.

In an ideal world, stupidity like this should destroy JPM when proven wrong in a few weeks. But people will forget. That is what JPM is counting on.
I don't believe the iPhone launch will propel this stock like others think, either in anticipation, or at the event, unless it is unexpectedly bigger news than expected. Seems too "easy". What could really propel this stock is a big, new contract with a big solar co. That cold pop it into the 20s and could happen any time now, so it's good to keep at least a little stock.
This pullback is exactly what I was talking about. Now, the stock is threatening to plunge further and even close red, because of world events and problems none of us can anticipate. Yet the carrot is that 9/9 AAPL thing. That carrot will keep people in when they should be selling.
GTAT getting high and ready for pullback. But 9/9 date is approaching and will keep traders re-buying as they move in and out because they don't want to miss out on big run, yet they don't want to be in it falling to 14s again (yes ... that could happen). Very dangerous situation here unless your horizon is a year or more and you don't give a flip if it goes to 14. I'm inclined to sell around this area and just stay out of this mess for a few weeks.
Guess we don't need it though. Mkt pulling way back but GTAT holding steady in 15.60s. I hate this GD general market situation and hope the mkt gets itself together. Imagine if the mkt were good today, where GTAT would be.
... beginning of a post-earnings pop. These pops are always delayed with GTAT, but it is time, it is due and it makes sense. So it is real this time.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Unfortunately, this earnings report hasn't stopped the dire speculation. There's a new article on ledinside to the effect that only one in ten iPhone 6 will have sapphire.
Unfortunately i'm not able to access it yet.
Get a clue, man.
Apparently Stifel has just put out some positive comments on GTAT and that is the reason for this pop.
All the big guys are out of town and it's just low volume folks now. Easier to sell than buy on days like this so bias is down. Buy the sale price today for next week.
I definitely believe hedge funds, at least, cooperate. This sort of collusion is illegal, but they realize if they do it right it can't be proven. I believe with GTAT when the market looks weak and the stock looks ready, hedge funds who want to short, coordinate and give their efforts added oomph, beyond any natural move.
btw, when I said "doesn't say the name of the firm" I mean doesn't say the name of the boutique firm that gave the rec. GTAT is named as the co. the rec was about.
Just a blurb at 11:16 saying only the little I posted. Doesn't even say the name of the firm. But GTAT's pop corresponded with that.
Positive. GTAT definitely.
Blurb on a news service I subscribe to.
Being touted as a cancer play.
Co's hyperion technology for laser treatment.
AAPL popping on the news. Release confirmed for Oct. AAPL to ship 50M units in 1st year.
Last time GTAT spiked up here, things turned around suddenly with crazy amounts of shorting. No matter how good things looked pre-mkt at the open major selling would begin and this would go on and on. I hope this situation is different and stupid people with lots of money don't screw things up again.

If you tuned in to watch your Philadelphia 76ers take on the Boston Celtics last night up in the Cradle of Liberty, you likely wondered what exactly was that patriotic hipster-looking headband on top of Spencer Hawes' beautiful mullet. The NBA actually issued them to teams around the league to rock in celebration of Veterans Day.
CSN's John Finger asked Hawes about his sweet headband and found out that he won't be allowed to wear it tonight in Toronto.
According to Hawes, the league asked players not to wear the
headbands in Toronto for Saturday night's game, and the Sixers' center
isn't too pleased about it.
Now, you may want to blame the NBA for such frivolity, but clearly, the correct entity to blame is always Canada.

The Economic Origins of Twentieth Century Decolonisation in West Africa
AbstractThis paper argues that the pattern of decolonisation in West Africa was a function of the nature of human capital transfers from the colonisers to the indigenous elites of the former colonies. Underpinning the nature of these human capital transfers is the colonial educational ideology. Where this ideology emphasized the notion of "assimilation", the system generally tended to produce elites that depended highly on the coloniser for their livelihood, hence necessitating a continuation of the imperial relationship even after independence was granted. On the contrary, where the ideology emphasized the "strengthening of the solid elements" of the country-side, the system tended to produce a bunch of elites that were quite independent of the coloniser and consequently had little to lose from a disruption of the imperial relationship at independence. The model raises several predictions based on a single assumption on the nature of the nationalist elite. The paper's contribution, is in providing a framework for understanding the different paths of decolonisation in Africa in general, but more specifically in the British and French West African empires, an approach which unites both the Eurocentric and Afrocentric perspectives.

10-meter pistol shooting – Part 1
by B.B. Pelletier
I call this Part 1, but there have already been several helpful reports on this subject. Here they are:
Converting an anti-gunner AND teaching a person to shoot 10-meter pistol
Introduction to 10-meter pistol – Part 1/An instant tutorial!
Gamo Compact vs IZH 46 – Part 5 [a 5-part series]
The philosophy of the air pistol
Air pistols shooters are those people who were in the high school band. When they first saw the Sousaphone they asked, "Can I play the piccolo?" They see air rifle shooters showing up to a match with two large wheeled suitcases of equipment and they want everything to fit in a lunchbox. They shun shooting leathers for comfy sweatshirts and blue jeans. They wear running shoes, but for gosh sakes they never run in them!
Only after signing up for the air pistol were they informed that it is the most challenging discipline in all the shooting sports. But they figured the tradeoff was worth it…to not have to drag around all that equipment.
Stance is the first consideration for shooting the air pistol. How you stand determines where you'll shoot, just as it determines where you can throw a ball. While it's possible to stand facing the target, with the line of your body parallel to the target, that's the wrong way to stand when you want to be accurate. If you had an arm coming straight out of your chest it would work well, but please notice that your arms are on either side of your body. Therefore, they cannot point straight ahead without a lot of muscles getting involved. We don't want that.
We want a stance that uses your skeleton for support, with minimum reliance on your muscles. Rather than talk about it, I'll show you. My illustration and discussion are for a right-handed shooter, but lefties need only reverse the instructions.
Try this at home
Even if you don't own an air pistol, you can try this stance. Once you get the hang of adjusting your feet, you'll be amazed at how the stance determines how you shoot. Pick out an object far enough away that you can tell when you are or are not pointing at it. Now, adjust your feet like the illustration and point at the target.
Tension your legs by turning your toes inward, starting with the left foot. Pivot on your heel, so your foot remains in place. Your stance will become more rigid as you turn the toe inward. Then, close your eyes and point naturally. Keep adjusting your foot placement and toe rotation until you're pointing at the target naturally. Turn the right toe inward last of all. It adds tension to your stance, but it also throws your aim to the left.
Once you find your stance – stay put!
I can always spot the shooters I'm going to beat at a match. They're the ones who keep moving around. One of our readers remarked several weeks ago how slow and deliberate 10-meter shooters seem to be. Well, that's partly because once they find the right stance, they don't move! I can take a new shooter and actually move his groups from side to side on the target, just by changing his stance.
Anchor your free hand!
The hand that doesn't hold the pistol has to be still or it will affect the whole body. Either stick it in your pocket or hook a thumb through a belt loop.
With the right stance, it should be very difficult for you to miss the bullseye to either side. All you need to concentrate on is the elevation of the pistol, and I'll cover that in the next report. Stay tuned!

"Even shooters who do not need correction wear shooting glasses because of what they do for their depth of field."
What does that mean exactly? Are there a special type of glasses for 10 meter shooting?
AL In CT
I've been waiting for this article for awhile.
Yes, there are special shooting glasses for air pistol shooters. They have an iris over the shooting eye that can be adjusted to let in just enough light. The eye gains tremendous depth of vision in lower light, just like a camera.
Read about these glasses here:
BB, I never thought about getting an air-pistol until I started reading your latest blogs. I've been looking at the Crosman 1377C and the Benjamin HB17. Price wise, the Crosman looks more like the one in my budget range. As an entry level weapon, would you suggest this to a hunter/plinker as myself? I like that the velocity is higher too. Enough to take small game within 15 to 20 yards. Maybe 20 is pushing the envelope, but never having shot one, I really can't make that call. You input would be appreciated, Thomas
Yow, time to work on the stance. What I do is in gross violation. That business about turning in the toes is interesting and reminiscent of how Jack Dempsey describes the correct boxing stance in his textbook. That diagram is very helpful. I would have sworn looking at the photos that the line connecting the feet of the shooters makes a straight line with the outstretched shooting arm, but the diagram shows an obtuse angle. Are the shooters in the photos an exception or is this an illusion from the camera angle?
Other questions for the series. I've been experimenting with straightening the lumbar curve of the lower back because it seems to give a more unified feeling to the whole body. I don't know if there is anything to this.
Glad to hear that the match pistol is the most challenging of shooting disciplines, I'm guessing because the gun is least supported by the body. That being the case would it be fair to say that you want to be more aggressive on the trigger (as they say on the USAMU site) than any of the other positions? One of the USAMU people advised people to be more aggressive on the trigger when shooting standing with the rifle as opposed to prone. If the match pistol is even less supported than the offhand rifle, it makes sense that you would be even more aggressive.
My 10 shot groups at 18 feet are dividing more or less evenly into two clusters one above the other separated by a half inch, so I can't wait to hear how you control the elevation.
Thomas, if you've never experienced a Lothar Walther barrel, you might consider the Daisy 747. It's amazing, and I haven't realized its potential by any means.
The stage is set for me to order my Savage police rifle with which I plan to try for these 1 hole groups at 100 yards that I keep hearing about. The question is whether this rifle which is drilled and tapped for scope mounts as we discussed awhile ago will need a gunsmith to put the mount on or whether I can do it myself. This is an unwelcome hassle compared to mounting scopes on airguns. Thanks.
Yes, get a 1377. You won't regret it.
Matt 61,
Yes, the feet of the shooters in the photos are off at a slight angle, as better shown in the diagram. The angle changes for each person, because of skeletal differences. You have to try the position by pointing, as I mentioned, until you find a foot placement that's right for you.
There is no aggressiveness with the trigger. You wish it off. But you need a good trigger to be able to do that. Even an IZH 46 trigger is not good enough to feel the release that I'm describing.
You should be able to mount the rings to your Savage rifle. It's just a matter of screws.
Hello, B.B.,
I asked a question about Pyramydair's loudness ratings of the various airguns they sell, a question which you very graciously answered.
I started getting curious as to whether they'res any research on the topic. I found a web page that compared various by the number of decibels (a measure of sound pressure) they put out.
For comparison, they tested a number of fairly normal events and found that a heavy-duty stapler firing a staple into wood is 97 decibels; a swingline stapler being used on wood is about 93 decibels; a battery powered half inch drill puts out 71 decibels; closing the door on Ford Explorer is 85 decibels; an exmpty soda can hitting a cement floor from shoulder height is about 86 decibels; opening a full soda can is about 85 decibels; and the sound of a doorbell is about 71 decibels.
They then proceeded to measure sound pressure on 19 spring-loaded airguns from 6 feet, 10 yards, 25 yards, and 50 yards. (Only 16 guns show up on their table of results, however).
Here are the results, summarized. At 6 feet, all rifles produced between 88 and 94 decibels, that is the quietest were a little bit more noisy than an SUV door being closed and the loudest were at about the level of a stapler being used on wood.
At ten yards, all guns tested were quieter than an SUV door being closed, but louder than a doorbell.
At 25 yards, more than half were at around the loudness of a doorbell or very slightly louder; none of the remaning rifles were as loud as an SUV door being shut.
At 50 yards, all rifles were quieter than a doorbell.
Here's the web page if you want to read the results in detail:
I am going to try my hand at this stuff, too. Is the 1377 good enough for a start at 10M targets? The only BB/Pellet pistol I have is a Daisy Powerline 1200 (BB-only/CO2), which I've never been happy with, as it's simply not satisfyingly accurate and the POI changes with the weather (how I got it is the only reason I've kept it). If a 1377 is good enough to do 1″ groups at 10m, I think it might be what I need.
I have had sound testing done by a sound engineer. Sound decreases with the square of the distance, so the test must be done close to the source.
After I complete the testing of the Condor, I will publish REAL sound data, takes by a calibrated sound nmeter of the correct type. The cheap machines people use for sound teasting is worse than useless. I vastly under-estimates the true sound level.
While I like the 1377, I wouldn't use it for 10-meter target. You can practice with a Beeman P17, but the Daisy 747 is the absolute cheapest real 10-meter target pistol around.
Karabiner 98K? Mein Gott! Where's the Airsoft Garand? Where's the No.4?
My shiny new HW77 arrived today. What a machine! Its like its desperate to group, if I would just get out of its way. I do have a few questions, though.
First off, would you expect a 500 fps (Canadian) de-tuned HW77 to diesel? My quick and dirty testing in neutragena soap and pine boards shows a LOT more power than I would expect. I've put 50 pellets through it, and the behaviour continues.
Secondly, I bought a Leapers 4-16×50 TS scope with it. How many clicks can you adjust it by? My similar Leapers 3-9×40 required 140 clicks left when I installed it on another gun a few months ago, but this new one doesn't want to go beyond 100 clicks left. I'm still an inch right while sighting in at 5 yards, so I need approx 80 more clicks. Too much? If so, what do you suggest?
Hey RO,
I've got a few de-tuned HWs and they all dieseled for a while. Even a sub 500fps spring gun produces a bit of heat. My three HW45s, two P5s and my Webley pistols all smoked a bit and they are around 400fps guns. Just give it a bit longer.
Five yards!!!
Sight in at 20. You are asking too much of the gun and scope to coincide at 5 yards.
As for the velocity, yes a low-powered gun will diesel and detonate, but you will hear it. Keep watching this, as you may have a more powerful rifle.
*sigh* I don't have 20 yards….I understand completely why the rifle shoots low at 5 yards, but why the left-right difference at close range?
Is there a way to tell if the rifle has been de-tuned, without disassembly? The cocking stroke, for example, is very long with uniform weight throughout. Its very smooth, but fairly heavy…I guess I could dig out a spring scale to measure it if I knew what to look for.
There is no way to tell the power from that. You can't always tell the depth of a well by the length of the handle on the pump.
Do you know of any .177 pellets that are light, but larger in diameter than kodiaks?
I have a 2300T with a loose barrel. All of the many kinds of pellets that I have have a loose fit. The heads will fall right into the muzzle and the only thing stopping them from falling clear through the barrel is that the skirts are just big enough.
Don't tell me to take this up with Crosman….I already have . They say the barrel is within specs.
This is a little (ok, a lot) off topic, but could you help me? I am looking at the Blue Streak, 392, and the Quest 800x. Which would be best for hunting(small game)? You said the Blue streak would be your survival rifle, so it has to be good, but the 392 and Quest are .22, and you say that .22 is best for hunting. Any help?
Anonymous, I've blogged a couple of times to your questions, start with Mondays blogs and read each one for everyday. It would help if you left your name or some kind of ID so people could direct a reply to you. Thomas
BG_Farmer, I'm going to get a 1377 this coming weekend,…this weeks check went to bills/Mothers Day. If you get one, let me know what you think of it. Most of the reviews I've read were positive, and Sir BB gives his thumbs-up to it. I can't wait til November 1st!! This may turn out to be a good weapon for a follow up rifle shot. I hate not dropping a squirrel in one shot, but it's always good to have a back-up plan. LOL's Thomas
It could be something else with your gun, but if you have 2 piece mounts, be sure that your scope mounts are attached the same way. By that I mean that the ring mounting screws are on the same side of the gun. I put one ring on backwards once and ran out of left adjustment on my scope. Turning the scope ring around fixed it.
I think you'll probably get a 1377 first — it will be interesting to see what you find out with it. Also, after reading BB's answer, I'm thinking about a 747. Maybe both eventually:).
Squirrel hunting used to be my reason for getting up early in the morning! Also, it was the reason I fell asleep in the woods several times:).
B.B. (and Dave),
Dave's comment above got me thinking. I had both scope rings mounted with the screws away from the shooter. I reversed them so the screws faced the shooter, and now the scope zeros with only a small amount of right adjustment. Is there a right and a wrong orientation for scope mounts?
I have more than one 1377 and they are great… for the price. No they are not a good choice for 10m shooting in competition.
The harsh trigger, multi pump, and low quality sights would be a real disadvantage in a formal competition. However for back yark plinking or very close range small game hunting they are fine.
With a very small amount of work you can make the trigger smother and the gun more accuate. Go read the PA blog on the 1377. You see it has many fans and it is gun you can tinker with or leave it stock and it will serve you well… for the price.
Mine all group easily 1-inch centers at 10m.
bb I have a rws model 34 panther ant piece that connects the barrel to the spring moves up and down a little when the gun is moved? Is this a prob is there an easy fix? Is it humane to dispatch squirrels with neck shots?
when zeroing a scope, how do you make sure that the crosshairs line up exactly horiz. and vert.?
You might try target wadcutters with a 4.52mm head size. I looked on the internet but was unable to find a dealer advertising them. You'll have to call around.
Blue Streak,
Your choice is not between the Blue Streak and the 392. It's between a pneumatic and a spring gun.
The springer is more powerful (in this case) but I would choose the 392, for comfort, less accuracy problems (a pneumatic is easier to shoot than a springer) and ammo availability.
There is no "right" way to mount rings, but as Dave pointed out, small variations in how the rings are manufactured make turning one or both around change the zero – sometimes.
34 Panther,
The bar that connects the barrel to the piston (not actually to the spring, though that's what it affects) is called the cocking link. It is SUPPOSED to be loose when the barrel is closed.
Don't worry about it.
Do not shoot squirrels in the neck, trying to hit the spine. If you have a .177, shoot them in the brain and if you have a .22 shoot there or in the heart.
You line up the crosshairs by eye, alone. Every person will do it the way they see the crosshairs align and they won't always agree with others. It doesn't matter, because if the crosshairs look aligned to you, you will always hold the rifle in the same orientation and they will work.
Watch Paul Capelleo do it with the Benjamin Discovery video on the Pyramyd Air site.
hey B.B.
this is a little off topic, but i was wanting to know, if you would reccomend using a Gamo Cf-X for Squirrel Hunting? I know i should get a .22, but there is no good .22 pellets here anywhere, and i hate to be constantly ordering things, so i would just like to know, if you would use a Cf-X squirrel hunting. Thanks,
A CF-X in .177 is all the gun you need, so long as you are accurate with it. Guns with 200 f.p.s. less have been taking squirrels for decades, so no reason this one can't.
Hi BB, I've read a few good things from you about the gamo Shadow. I just got a big cat 1200 and am pretty happy with it so far. Its pretty accurate and I just have some diablo basics. I was wondering if its the same gun, because it sure looks like it. And what are the easiest "tuning" things i could do to it myself. I also have a leapers 6.5-20×56 scope heading my way in the mail. Thanks!
is there anything that you would use to protect the front sight on the mod 34 panther? Also I was wondering if my scopeounting meathod soundssturdy. I used the c mounts that came with the gun and bought two sets so the two rings I used have pins. I put the mounts on top of the holes with both pins in the hole. I then added a gamo stop with the plastic at the end that I screwed on behindthe front ring. Also with these mounts the windage on the mounts dont seem to be staying put. How tight can I turn those tiny screws?
Your concise article on 10m pistol shooting is what i'm waiting for long time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and looking forward for more 10m air pistol articles to come. Any plan to write a book about it :)?
10m air pistol shooting is always my dream but not to sure where to start. I have standard Crosman 2300S, would it be good enough for 10m newbie after grip modification ? Would it be better to start with a proper 10m pistol like LP10 right from beginning or humble start with Crosman 2300S or Avanti is good enough ? As you can see, my obvious problem is initial cost. Thanks. Robert
The Big Cat is based on the Shadow and no doubt many parts are the same, but the guns are not identical.
Gamos are not easy to disassemble, but you can make a huge improvement in the trigger by installing a GRT III trigger blade from Charlie da Tuna. Re4ad about it here:
To find Charlie's website, Google him.
No amount of clamping pressure will prevent the scope stop pins from tearing out those tiny holes on top of the scope base. I don't think that using two holes will stop the damage, though I have never tried it.
Until the new base becomes available you MUST hand a scope stop pin IN FRONT of the scope base.
The 2300S is accurate enough for 10-meter competition, but the balance, trigger and grips are all wrong. It would be better to get a different pistol than to pour money into converting a 2300S to do something is wasn't designed for.
As for me writing a gook on 10-meter pistol shooting, that would be like a high-school track and field competitor writing about going to the Olympics. I watch films made by others to get the little I know to pass along to you.
However, I have learned that 10-meter is a head game, which I suspect is true of all world-class competitive sports. I have coached others up to the NRA Expert level, so at least I can get you that far.
Get a new scope! Maybe a Bug Buster. I have the 3×12 TS scope and it is blurry at 6 yards. Yours must be worse. (I find that wearing 1.5 reading glasses takes away some of the blurryness.) Also, the paralex at 6 yards is horrible. I get better groups at 20 yards than at 6!
Seriously, I do the same you are doing during the week because I sometimes get to shoot at longer distances on the weekend. I keep the scope sighted in at 20 yds and use the 2nd mil dot at 6 yds. I concentrate more on the trigger than the size of the groups. It's great practice.
Almost everything I have learned about pistol shooting helps with shooting offhand, too. I had not read about turning ones toes inward but had discovered it myself some time ago. This definitely helps with offhand rifle shooting, too.
I took your advice and ordered up that grt III trigger for my big cat. Do you know what the differences are between the big cat and shadow? Also, I read on the tuna guys site that he said anything over a 9gr pellet could be bad for the gamos. I just placed an order from pyramyd for some diabolo exact heavys that are 10.2. Youve mentioned shooting a little slower for better accuracy and those pellets seemed to be highly recomended. I usually shoot at about 20 yards or so, but would like to try 50-100 yard shooting.
I don't subscribe to the heavy pellet destroys the gun theory. That's why I recommended them.
I think the Big Cat has more synthetic parts and the piston stroke is longer, but I'm not sure.
what a tutorial! Thanks!
actualy i want to start a training in 10m airpistol, and want to ask is
IZH-53M is ok for begining, or i must search more serious airgun for reach the starting ama competitors level?
While you can shoot at 10-meter targets with an IZH 53M, you will miss much of the training value. The grips are wrong and the sights are too high above the barrel. A Daisy 717 would be much better.

Katharine McPhee Drops Some Cleavage On ConanJanuary 5th, 2010
Here's Katharine McPhee, who once ruled this website along with her killer legs, performing on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien and dropping some serious cleavage while doing so. Hoochie mama! As I said, I was once infatuated with McPhee's killer pair of legs, but they've been officially overshadowed by her fantastic cleavage, and I can smell a Katharine McPhee comeback in the air (well, at least here on Popoholic) if she continues to give shwingtastic performances such as this one. Enjoy the pictures and check out the video to see everything in motion. Cheers.

Change happens, that is for sure, and not just in our modern, 21st
century era. It seems that the stress of the new affects most people in
every age. So the trick is not to resist it, but to go with it. The real
problem for the creative person is getting over the resistance of those
who don't want to change.

4.19/5 rDev +10.6%
A - A really beautiful active pour of swirling carbonation that yeilds a solid two fingers worth of crisp and clean bone white colored froth with a slightly rocky top that is comprised of big chunky bubbles... Really impressive retention for the style... What's ultimately left is a full yet lopsided veil of lacing and a moderately thick collar... The color is equal parts pale gold, straw yellow and honey amber... Completely translucent with a faint glow... Very clean and crisp in appearance... There is a slight to moderate bit of moderate paced carbonation... A slight bit o lacing clings to the glass... Spot on for the style...
S - Fairly mild overall, but loaded with nuance and complexity... The first thing noted are the Saaz hops... Next comes the malt base which arrives in the form of cereal grains... Next are the white tea components... Then arrives the pear sweetness in the form of overly ripe Bosc pears and crisp Asian pears... There is nothing artificial about the sweetness brought by the pear presence... Each whiff reveals a new subtle nuance...
T - The aroma was a wonderful indication of what to expect in terms of flavor... This one walks a fine line between slightly hoppy and slightly sweet and does so in a very exciting way... This is a quintessential Czech Pilsner first and foremost... The hop and tea additions add a subtle sweetness which greatly expands on the depth and complexity of this historic and wonderful style...
M - On the lighter side of medium bodied... Light but crisp carbonation... Even and consistent... Ultra clean and ultra crisp... Each sip is a pleasure... Perfect for the style...
D - This is a ridiculously fantastic brew... It's an outstanding Czech Pilsner... It's a wonderful example of DFH creativity... I would suggest DFH immediately makes this a year-round offering... I could drink several of these in a sitting... No joke, but this would be a staple in my beer fridge... No weak facets... I can't say enough good things about this beer... Highly nuanced... Highly quaffable... Highly recommended... A fantastic job by DFH...

3.73/5 rDev -1.6%
A: A bright and clear light golden beer with a long lasting, low white head of soapy bubbles.
S: It has a distinctly German pilsner aroma with a spicy and herbal hop aroma and a gram cracker-like Pils malt character. There is just a light hint of something usual in the nose in addition to the low, light fruit aroma.
T: There is a light malt softness, a medium amount of bitterness and a moderate pear flavor upfront. The balance is fairly bitter having just a light sweetness in the middle the resolves in a off-dry finish. The spicy hops flavor is at a medium level. The after taste is of peaches and hops.
M: A medium-light bodied beer with a medium-strong level and just a slight astringency.
O: A nicely balance beer where the fruit and tea additions compliment the quality base beer style instead of overwhelming it as is often the case.

12 ounce bottle with bottled on date (that I cant make any sense of...oh well...they tried)
Pours near clear darker straw in color. Bubbles rising to the top. Delicate off white head, minor film, collar and minor bits of lace.
Seriously hoppy nose with an added lime note.
Brightly flavorful, more lime and some more biting saaz infused hoppy crispness.
Tasty pilsner...good accompaniment for lots of different types of food.

Overall: A nice and refreshing beer. The pilsner base is tasty. The pear comes through at the end and as it warms so that this is different enough from other pilsners. I would buy this year round as it is one of the better DFH beers I have had in some time.

Deep golden hued with excellent clarity and vibrant carbonation. A miniscule layer of carbonation caps off most of the top of the glass. I smell pears and some subtle Saaz hops. I know that's not shocking considering this beer. Mouth is moderately carbonated and you get a bitterness from the hops that also helps to prickle the tongue. This is straightforward with the bitterness of the hops mingling with the sweetness of the pear flavor. I think the carbonation might need some dialing back, but it's a good beer.

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into a tall pint glass.
Appearance: Pours a somewhat hazy straw golden orange with a lot of rising bubbles. Solid two fingers of white head with decent retention. Leaves a lot of lacing.
Smell: A bready, fruity, and earthy malt forward aroma with big hints of pear and grains. Pale malt with hints of grains, wheat, biscuit, straw, cracker, and yeast. Big hints of pear juice as well as some lemon, orange, and tea. Earthy and spicy Saaz hop hints along with some grass. Big with the fruity pear and citrus presence. A pretty good aroma.
Taste: Like it smells, a fruity, bready, and earthy malt forward taste with good notes of pear, citrus, and grains. Upfront pale malt with bready notes of grains, straw, biscuit, wheat, yeast, and cracker. Big presence of pear juice. Citrus fruit notes of lemon and orange. Some tea notes as well. Spicy and earthy Saaz hops along with some grassy hop notes. Very crisp and zesty. Pretty good tasting.
Mouthfeel: Light to medium bodied with a medium to high level of carbonation. Crisp, juicy, and pretty smooth.
Overall: A pretty good twist on a Pilsener. Good grainy malt notes with a very nice juicy kick from the added pear.
