Well we’ve reached the end of this series as we wrap up with airguns best suited for hunting applications.  Before we start, let’s go back over what we’ve covered so far.   As a note, I’ve kept the focus to airguns that fall under the $350 price point. Catching up… The first question was: “What airgun […]

Our next group of “Better or Best” airguns is perhaps the most requested.  The question usually comes over like this: “What is the best hunting airgun for under $350 that is quiet, accurate, and is good for target practice too?”  So this means we are looking for something that is economical to shoot for target […]

It’s rare but it does happen that I speak to folks that are only interested in target shooting or plinking.  There are many good reasons for someone to desire an airgun for this purpose.  Trigger time is trigger time.  The more time you spend on the trigger, the more you are developing muscle memory and […]

The short and sweet answer is no.  I’ve decided to address this issue because it’s one of the most commonly asked questions I’ve been asked over the years.  Now some may want to argue the point on a philosophical level, which I’ll be more than […]

I remember when I got my hands on my first airgun.  I’m pretty sure it was a Crosman or Benjamin pump of some sort.  I don’t remember how old I was, but I sure remember how much fun I had shooting at just about anything.  I think it’s in our blood to be “the hunter.” […]
