I have the .25 MKII using NSA 26 gr. slugs and the 700mm slug liner. I haven't checked my FPS in in about two years, but last I checked I was in the low-mid 800's. I've never chased maximum FPS with my gun. I have varied little from the stock tune. Others have 'pressured me' to beef up my...

Yesterday was mostly naps (Friday night was the monthly poker game with the fellas) and getting gear ready for a fishing trip coming up in a week. When doing boat work, I always keep an eye out for any critters that need ventilation while putzing around, and often I keep the FX MKII on a rolling...

On the second time out this year, Steve O and I closed the deal on a turkey. We're still trying like heck for the goal of both of us getting a bird on the same morning for a photo op, but through a comedy of errors from misfiring guns, spooking birds, wounded ones getting away, you name it, we...

Yes! I make them on the grill with a slathering of homemade spicy plum BBQ sauce.

I've been working on some murals and mosaics in the shop the last couple of days. To take a break from the constant drone of the tile saw, I took a short (50 yard) walk through the commodity barn and surrounding area for some Euro action. I wasn't disappointed as there were about 15 birds that I...

The incessant rain has been highly annoying. In addition to the amount that NorCal has been getting, it's been a timing issue that whenever there was opportunity to get out either in the field or on the water it's been pouring or flooding. Yesterday and today are beautiful here. Chilly in...

Texan .50 with Diamond stock

A couple of buddies and I are looking at possibly taking a roadie to Texas. Two of us are airgun guys, one is strictly rifle. We're looking for a place that's either high or low fence, has multiple species (pigs, whitetail, possibly exotics), has accommodations and guides, and is reasonably...

In addition to the many other pics we took, this one was the most amusing. A very large gopher kept poking his head up in the middle of our display booth. There we sat with $15K worth of airguns, tanks, ammo, etc. watching a gopher mock us from 5' away. If that's not emasculating, I don't know...

To follow up, the booth was great success at the Independence Day Celebration. We engaged with the general public for hours and had varied and interesting conversations. It's interesting to note that this is an old-fashioned parade and BBQ, not an outdoors show, gun show, swap meet, etc. We...

Max, No, not a true carry case. I tried various things from totally custom (bulky and costly) to the very simple (canvas duffle) and by far a canvas duffle is the way to go. The chair is only 20 lbs. and by throwing the three main pieces (chair frame, post, and gun bracket) on your shoulder in...

For all of the haters and negative Nancy's...I've been doing this for a number of years (pre and post COVID) at the parade. First I was selling my custom-built shooting chairs and using my airgun arsenal as displays (not firearms) While I DID sell some Born Wild chairs, most of the interest was...

Another AGG member, SteveO, and I will be hosting a booth to educate the general public on modern airguns, generate interest for the hobby, and interact with thousands of people at the Penngrove Celebration and Parade on July 2nd in Penngrove California. We'll have PCP's, big bores, shooting...

I know it's overkill, but I'm not at headshot level yet. So body shot it was. The Bulldog is not a 'turkey headshot gun', nor is any true big bore like a Bulldog, Sam Yang, Texan, etc. They just aren't accurate enough to hit a turkey head consistently. 1.5" -2" at 50-60 yards isn't good enough...

I've been steadily picking off ground squirrels for the last month or so in the barnyard. This morning I was able to whack two in about 20 minutes. They were the only two I saw. Both made the fatal mistake that so many squirrels commit; the popped up for a secondary look. The first guy was...

There's very little to no hydrostatic shock from airguns unlike firearms. A .35 caliber hole isn't a lot bigger than a .25 hole. I shot a squirrel a few weeks ago with my .45 and other than a bigger than normal hole there wasn't any 'bloodshot' meat. Same with turkeys. Yes, it will do more...

Oh, absolutely! It never ceases to amaze me how tough turkeys are. This thread has taken some turns, but it's a great discussion. On a side note, airgunners seem especially prone to is desktop hunting. Hollowpoint vs, solid, fps numbers, head shots vs. body, hybrids vs. slugs vs. pellets...

I have no idea what a California Twist is, but I do know you can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. Good luck.

Hold your horses buddy. I didn't ask for hunting advice nor opinions on what you think my ethical shot is. I have a blind. I have decoys, there's environmental factors with which you are non the wiser, and I sure as hell didn't ask you to tell me what to do. Easy, easy, mtnGhost...don't go full...

With 15 miles of wind at 90 yards it's almost impossible to hit it with a pellet from the first shot, and you have no time for the second...so don't shoot it. Get a cheap blind or a tent and cover it with branches and leaves or camo cover and shoot as many birds as you want from 30 yards away...
