    Midnight Jack rabbit with my Cricket

    Spotted a jack rabbit munching in the front yard tonight during the near full moon. Slid open a window a little and grabbed my Cricket 22 loaded with 27 gr nsa slugs. There wasn't enough light to see the retical clearly but enough for the Hawke to see it clearly. Took a guess at 20 yards sight...

    Can't shoot with a critter behind my target

    I have a young family of quail feeding in my yard now and papa stands watch in some bad places. Here's what I saw when I went to do a little target shooting. That target is only about 20 yards out and I'm working on form. That's about 16 shots and the gun is definitely out shooting me...

    OOPS !

    I didn't think I would make this post but maybe it will prevent some one else from being hurt. I have an injured finger (before this) and it doesn't close with the others and sticks up some. I was trying to get a steady rest and had my fingers wrapped around the end of the air cylinder on my...

    ? Breach Seal o-ring install and other issues

    I do have a video that Dirty Harry sent me but even that looks frustrating to install the o-ring. It's the one, video, that uses a sharpened dowel. Of course I can't find a dowel small enough down here to use. So I'm hoping someone here has a method that will work for me with out to much...

    Cricket compact scope ?

    So far my searches for something compact to mount up my Cricket have been limited to the Bug Buster. I love the Hawke Sidewinder 30 Tactical 6.5-20x42 is outstanding. But I'm thinking something more compact would fit my needs a little better. Mostly shoot out to 50 yards max. So I'd like a...

My "bird tree" was blown over while I was gone and the food tray is sideways but the dove are just as happy to feed off the ground and fewer fights. These are white wing dove but there are also a good number of collared dove and morning...

    I ordered a Omega compressor from AoA and was notified that they were out of stock shortly after I placed the order. I'm hoping to return home (Baja) in 2 weeks and notified AoA that I needed the compressor before I leave. They got right back to me and said they couldn't guarantee that they...
