Let’s see if this post generates any comments. I’ve taken small game with airguns on and off for many years. I’ve shot squirrels, rabbits, pest birds, ground hogs, jack rabbits, etc. I’ve used everything from .177 up to .35 cal airguns to take all the game listed above. I just returned from a hunting trip […]
The New Benjamin Armada
Bench shooting is one of my most favorite pastimes. Here’s what I look for in a bench gun. First and foremost is accuracy at whatever range I’ll be shooting. There many standards out there. Given the various limitations at our local range, I mostly shoot at 25 and 50 meters. As I’ve mentioned recently, the […]
Airgun Bench Rest in your back yard
I love to shoot airguns. It’s a good thing, because I do it for a living. There are so many ways to have fun shooting in the back yard with your airgun. You can plink spinners, shoot the new “Pregame” Birchwood Casey targets, shoot plain old paper targets and a lot more. If you want […]
Maintaining your CO2 and PCP airgun
Maintaining CO2 and PCP airguns is not that dissimilar to maintaining spring and gas ram airguns. There are a few differences and some key details that are very important. In this next article, I’ll walk you through some of the basics. As always, the manufacturer’s recommendations ALWAYS supersede my suggestions. Please ONLY use fuel, ammo […]

First and foremost, if your airgun outlines specific maintenance instructions, then I would recommend that you follow them as prescribed. Airguns such as RWS […]
Walther Airguns: Modern Classics in the Making
Often, working in the air gun industry it’s fairly easy to get jaded on “new” airguns. What I mean by that is that even when new guns come out they are often times only reworked existing designs. In short, “new” is not usually new. When I first saw the Walther LGU Master and the Walther […]
Will we ever see another affordable European Springer?
I remember back when the RWS 34 would set you back just around $230. I’m sure there are some older airgunners that can remember it being even less, but that’s about when I came into the sport. A few years ago, as things always do, prices went up and now an RWS and scope will […]
IASS – International Air Shooting Sports
I love to shoot. I think I’ve mentioned that before in the past. In fact, I’m not partial all that much to what I’m shooting so long that I get to go shoot something. Heck, I was just looking at Nerf guns the other day for me and my 8 year old to use around […]
More fun with Airguns
As my family get’s more and more involved with airguns, I’m having to think of creative ways to add just plain fun into the mix. I can sit and shoot paper targets all day, but the rest of the family likes to see things get blasted so smithereens. Recently I posted some articles about shooting […]
Quiet Airguns Part 2
In the last article I was discussing spring guns and the mechanical noise they produce. Also, how utilizing a gas ram or nitro piston can reduce the “buzzing” and other secondary noises that go along with traditional metal spring powered airguns. In part 2, I’m going to walk through the basics of gathering some sound […]
