    N/A pellet ballistic coefficients.

    Was wondering if there is database for say 177 and 22 calibers of ballistic coefficients. If so, please point me in the right direction. If not, would this be a worthwhile undertaking for this forum. At least to select these 2 calibers to start out. I am talking about pellets like Crossman...

    Crosman Which Air Pistol to Buy

    Besides buying a HW30, I have sufficient funds for an air pistol. Primary for target shooting but may do some small pesting at close range. 20 yards is my maximum range I can target shoot. Do not want any quality issues now or in the future. Accuracy is second. Durability is third. Do not want...

    HW/Weihrauch HW 30

    I have $750 from a gun sale that I am probably devoting for a new springer. I have a 3x12x44 UTG scope already. I need the airgun to be high quality without any tinkering needed on my part. Does the HW 30 fit that bill? Should I go ahead and have AOA put a vortex spring in it so internal...

    Georgian wants opportunity to hunt Iguanas

    Pest hunting with a traditional air rifle is my favorite form of hunting. Even prefer it to deer hunting and even the recent elk hunt. Pests l like to hunt are rats, pigeons, starlings etc. However, locations to hunt by me are severely limited. Sounds like Iguanas are a plentiful pests in some...

    Traditional Rifle Daisy 99 with upgraded sight

    Originally purchased from Dennis Baker. Has both the original peep sight and the installed upgraded Daisy peep sight (believe it is the same one on the Daisy 499). Chrono showed 257 fps so shooting over specs. Blemishes on metal. Stock in good shape but has some small marks on the forearm and...

    Crosman Vintage Crosman 760 and 761XL Accuracy

    Treefrog suggested a new thread to discuss the matter. Got horrible accuracy the other day with my Crosman vintage 761XL (rifled barrel) with copper colored Barracuda pellets. Did some more testing with other pellets. Some premium pellets that you thought would give you great accuracy like the...

    Apolo

    Anybody shoot the Apolo Air Boss 177 or 22 domed or match head pellets. Tom Gaylord gave a good review. Forgot what gun he used. Looks like a good price in Amazon although I would get them somewhere else due to their poor shipping. I saw a prior post on 30 cal and slugs for this brand but...

    Umarex Storing Co2 guns

    Read that not to store CO2 gun under pressure (assume you also pull the empty cartridge out of the gun as well) and always lube the tip of a full CO2 cartridge before inserting. What do you do? Is there anything else to do for prolonged storage and get the optimal longevity from a CO2 gun? I...

    Other How do you store your airguns?

    Saw a post today that got me thinking. I am moving away from storing my air guns in a soft case to storing them on floor racks. I use Balistol or Breakfree CLP to lube the outside so not sure if that attracts dust and if the dust would stick. Probably just wipe them down after I shoot them...

    Weihrauch firearms

    I was looking at pistols today. I knew FWB made a 22 cal target rifle but Weihrauch actually makes firearm pistols. The EAA Windicator is a 38 special or 357 magnum/38 special snub nose revolver actually made by Weihrauch. It is heavy, big and built like a tank but is cheap and somewhat...

    Phil's Vintage Airguns

    Seemed like a nice guy. Use to repair his own guns and then started the business. Prices looked reasonable. Sent a Crossman 140, Crossman 761XL and a Sheridan Blue Streak for reseal. Promptly got the 3 guns back but the Crossman 761XL would not even hold the first pump of air. Emailed him and he...
