Air Rifle Links and Demos

----- Critically Important -----

Flash graphics viewing/use alternatives:
Flash support by most modern browsers has been dropped but that's not the end of the line for Flash.
There is no practical alternative to Flash for the interactive demos/applets/graphics on this site.. Especially when there are alternatives, some simple, some good, some...
Ruffle is chosen by most because they can't imagine using anything but their preferred browser. It works. It's OK but not great. The Flash graphics won't look as they're supposed to but it, generally, works.
The #1 preferred (by me) way to view the site and the Flash graphics is with the Chromium Portable browser and the installation of the older (no time-out) Flash Player files. This was incredibly simple when people knew computers but not today when people only know how to work with their phones.
The Flash Browser is a good option but it's so stripped down that it makes it somewhat difficult to use.
The Maxthon browsers are an option. The v4.95 is the easiest (install and use). V5.3.8 and 6.1.0 require (very) slightly more effort (very).
All of these browsers are available from my Flash Information page.
The Chromium and Maxthon browsers on the page above are 'portable' browsers. They are not installed into your system. They are simply made available for use on your computer. They can be carried around on a Flash drive and used on any computer.

Air Arms TX200 Power Plant	This shows how the entire action operates. In addition to the trigger assembly, it shows the cylinder and the mainspring.
Scope Demo 1	This demo shows the inner workings and basic operating principle of a generic scope. If you wonder what happens when you turn the elevation and windage adjustments, check out this link.
Demo 2	This shows the difference that a given number of clicks will move the Point Of Impact at 4 different distances.

Demo 3	This file explains why one Minute Of Angle is approximately one inch at a distance of 100 yards.
Demo 4	This demo explains the basic mounting procedure for a scope. It covers ring selection and getting the rifle zero'd .
Demo 5	This file shows you the basic procedures used in field target competition.
Demo 6	This file shows the basic concept of pellet trajectory.

Demo 7	This shows how a basic pump pneumatic rifle works.
Demo 8	This file allows you to fire a pellet with different 'zero' ranges. You'll see how the pellet crosses the Line Of Site twice. You'll also see how changing the zero range changes the point where the pellet initially crosses the line of sight.
Demo 9	This file shows how you'd have to hold over or under the target to hit the desired POI at different yardages.
Demo 10	This file shows how a pellet is motivated by a spring gun. It has significantly more detail than the first springer demo.

Demo 15	This demo explains why a heavier pellet, at short range, may have a higher Point Of Impact than a lighter pellet.
Demo 16	This demo shows how iron sights are used and adjusted/set. Since I don't use open sights very much, if you think something needs to be added, please let me know.
Demo 17	This demo shows nutation, precession and yaw as they apply to a pellet.
Demo 18	This demo was done to show how a gravity-compensating gunsight would work.
Demo 19	This demo was done to show how a gravity-compensating gunsight would work to compensate for cant.
Demo 20	This demo provides a fair amount of information about a break barrel rifle. It is modelled after a Beeman R10. This rifle is very similar to many rifles currently in production. Since it's new, please email me if you find any errors.
Demo 21	This demo is an extension of a previous demo showing how the cant of a rifle influences the POI of the pellet. This demo has the ability to change inclination and cant angle. Please note that this demo takes a little longer than normal to load. Until the white text adjacent to the black notes panel is visible, it's not fully loaded.

~~Show Your Support for This Site~~ The targets are now free of charge.
	This is the target I use more than any of the others. It has 1, .5 and .25 inch concentric circles. With 63 individual targets, even if you shoot at each target only once or twice, it will take quite a while before the target is completely shot up. Use the center target first when zeroing your rifle. You need to set you printer to 'landscape' to allow it to print properly.
	In this program, the 6 outer targets will change for the level of difficulty desired. The center target remains at 1 inch in diameter. Remember to set your printer's paper orientation to 'landscape' when printing the target.
	This program and the next are designed to allow you to print simulated field targets to allow you to practice with targets of similar difficulty as that of an upcoming match. You enter the level of difficulty and the distance to the point where you want to set the target and the program automatically sets the kill zone to the correct size.
	This version of the Field Targets software has draggable kill zones. As before, the kill zones can be set to the correct size for a particular level of difficulty but you can also add extra kill zones. The kill zones can be dragged to any point on the target. More detailed instructions are provided when you run the software.
	This is a collection of traditional rifle and pistol targets.
	This is... well, you can see what it is. Set your printer orientation to 'landscape'.
