It was a tremendous privilege last year to be asked to participate in the TV show American Airgunner. After a very successful 2013 season, the executive producers gave me a call and asked me if I’d like to join them for 2014. After long and careful consideration… of about 2 seconds… I jumped at the […]
HW50 Airgun / Pellet gun Review – Part 3
It’s always a process to really get in there and test a new airgun. It takes a lot of time and patience and a pretty steady hand too. I enjoy the process and I enjoy sharing the results even more. In part 3 of this review of the Weihrauch HW50S, we are going to take […]

HW50 Airgun / Pellet gun Review – Part 2
The HW50 .22 cal airgun is supposed to shoot up to 574 feet per second. These velocities, unless otherwise noted, are usually measured with lightweight lead pellets.

Air Venturi G4 Hand Pump & Filling PCPs – Part 1
While this article may seem a bit simplistic to many airgunners, you’d be surprised just how often the issue comes up. While consulting with a prominent airgun manufacture, I would often work with customers wanting to return their new PCP airguns because they were “leaking” or not able to be filled to the full 200 […]
