    Airforce Air Force Texan SS 457

    I also use premium slugs in my .308, and what does it take to be premium? Attention to detail. I don't hunt big game; instead, I target coyotes, woodchucks, and raccoons, shooting from 75 to 150 yards. I've hit a 6-inch steel target at 200 yards with enough FPE to take down coyotes.

    I use a external reg to zero also and a range finder is a must. Zero for my 308 is 100m

    Show me your first gun.

    My first PCP was a .25 cal Avenger, initially around 42 fpe and later modified to 100 fpe. I wish I still owned it. It had a Hawke 3x9 Vantage scope; truly, it was an enjoyable gun.

    How many of you use a portable blind for nighttime coyote hunting? The pop-up style blind can be quickly deployed, potentially allowing for closer proximity after daytime scouting. I'm curious because I reside in an area abundant with farmland, a few coyotes, and extensive woods, with open...

    Airgun owners vs firearm owners

    I have switched to air guns for three main reasons: firstly, there is no necessity to shoot over distances of 2-3 miles; secondly, the accuracy they offer; and thirdly, the cost-effectiveness, especially considering the number of companies that manufacture air gun pellets compared to bullet...

    Affordable reliable compressor that the air gun market would embrace

    I would be willing to pay $400 for such a compressor. Currently, the only brand that somewhat meets these criteria is the Tuxing model TXEDO11, although it has mixed reviews. It's advisable to avoid the TXEDT31 model, as it failed within three months. The market lacks a mid-priced option...

    Mechanical or Electronic?

    In today's world, it is my belief that electronics generally surpass mechanical systems in accuracy over time; however, electronics come with a cost when malfunctions occur, which is inevitable. While mechanical issues can be addressed, the question remains for electronics: can they be repaired...
