    Which caliber for racoons, groundhogs?

    I just dispatched a ground hog at just 16 yards with one shot to the head. Brocock Compatto .22 using JSB 15.8gr. That is the 2nd ground hog in past 5 days. Also took a rabbit at 21 yards right after the ground hog. Have not seen any racoons now for about a week. I will likely stay with my .22...

    Another raccoon takes a permanent nap.

    Details? What was the distance, pellet brand, style, weight? I have a developing problem with racoons and need to make some decisions regarding caliber and pellets.

    Which caliber for racoons, groundhogs?

    I found this on the Hard Air Magazine site. It is just an estimation from Brocock and is not gospel. I would have thought the .25 callwould have more energy than the .22 Cal. Since I will only be shooting in my back yard at a Max distance of 20 yards, I will see what happens with what I have. I...

    Which caliber for racoons, groundhogs?

    Like the title says, which caliber? Distance would be from only 10 yards out to only 20 yards. I have a Brocock Compatto in .22, but I am considering another Compatto or a Bantam in .25 caliber. Quiet is very inportant since I live on the outside edge of a subdivision. For the same reason I...

    PCP hand Pumps for great deal

    Makes the FX pump I have listed for sale look like a bad deal. I should list my FX as an exercise machine instead of a pump. LOL.

    .177 Compatto - Is it THAT good???

    Don't know about the .177, but my .22 is more than I expected when I bought it. It is as quiet as a bolt action .22 powder burner with a suppressor and CCI quiet ammo, and better accuracy. Have lost count of the fox squirrels that have expired from a sudden case of lead poisoning.

    Brocock compatto

    Sounds like you may be in over your head. Not that I know any better…Is it possible it would be partly unscrewed to position it at a certain depth? Not sure what you meant by the above statements. ​In over my head?? I will admit to not knowing much about air rifles, but, I am not at this time...

    Brocock compatto

    I have one in .22 cal. Very accurate. I have claimed numerous squirrels and rabbits with mine. My only complaint/problems involve lack of information. For example, specifications list a 3 position power switch, mine seems to have 4,????? Also specs. indicate adjustable trigger. The poor excuse...

    Indoor range shooters...Hearing protection?

    I have owned several noise cancelling headsets, and still have the Howard Leight unit you listed. All work very well in conjunction with my custom made for my ears plugs. However, they all interfere with a good cheek weld on any rifle. I cannot use any headset with a rifle, therefore I only...

    Anyone try eating starlings?

    
Four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie. I was in the Army and out of the country when my Dad decided to try this. Both parents, my sister and brother, all agreed after two bites that it was not edible. He did this as a joke. I am glad that I missed the fun!?!?

    Chronograph with good app for Android

    
App. is thru Caldwell, down loaded from the "play store" Don't know how you would do it any other way. I am not an expert with computers, phones, or pads. All I do know is the system works for me.

    Chronograph with good app for Android

    
Not sure I understand the question. Both my phone and pad are android so the same app is used. Cannot use both phone and pad at the same time. One or the other. I normally use the phone and "save" the strings. I then Email to myself and print them out. I do all this at the range. When I get...

    Cold here in Texas, so my son and I got creative with our air rifles ...

    Were you shooting inside your garage? If so, at what distance? By the way, that is the only reason to have gummy bears.

    Greeting from Michigan. ​Been looking around this site for about a week or so, signed up yesterday. Been shooting firearm rifles and pistols for most of my life. Recently discovered a Crossman, model 112 pellet pistol (Co2) that my Dad bought back in about 1950 or 51. Had it resealed and it...
