Texas water snakes are voracious predators, and often mistaken for water moccasins by the less informed. On two occasions I've come upon moccasins with a dearth-grip on bulldogs after being attracted by the frog's distress calls. I've also come upon and freed a cottontail on its last breath...

I understand. But I can't understand how someone... correction, anyone in business wouldn't understand that peddling crap might not be a good business strategy. .

I was thinking about replying, "Yes, practice field target at 44 yards in your back yard", but decided it might be too facetious to be helpful. :rolleyes: Reconsidered that decision after reading, "Put one 1” target out that far, and shoot it standing." :oops: So I'll just say any FT-related...

Have my doubts any Germans were involved in the engineering of that Diana branded trotline weight. I'm on my third Volkswagen GTI. Driving one leaves no doubt of the German engineering, despite assembly plants in several countries. China is capable of making excellent airguns; be they...

"Necessity is the mother of invention." "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Hardware store small-parts bins are your friend. But a lathe expands horizons considerably. .

True confessions time. Although I might have more, longer, wider and deeper airgun experience than anyone else, that experience is nevertheless influenced by personal preferencs and prejudices. Two come readily to mind- I fall somewhere between uninterested and repelled by smoothbore barrels...

Agreed, MH. But to avoid any potential confusion, I consider the AoA/TEXtreme Airgun Sports relationship to be mutually beneficial. So I'll take this opportunity to repeat something I state in every TAS shooters meeting (and elsewhere)- I can't thank Airguns Of Arizona enough for their...

Don't know what happened to the BBs, or the wooden shoes after discovering girls? Was one of the girls Dutch? :unsure: .

What hookah connoisseur hasn't had that happen? 🥴 .

Of course! In junior high I discovered Bic pens with the guts removed make excellent... and CONCEALABLE, spit-wad blow-guns. I should have patented that idea, as it soon caught on like veritable wildfire (among the group of ne'er-do-wells I hung around with). Also of course, I took it to the...

BTW, FYI, FWIW, and assuming the Blackwolf is an airgun, my half-century plus of testing over a thousand airguns suggests my description of them as "every bit as quirky, idiosyncratic and temperamental as Humans" might be the mostest profoundestest description of airguns (in general) in Human...

In my previous testing of the BB barrel I tried Crosman COPPERhead and Umarex silver BBs, both brands much more flawless-looking than BBs of this 71 year-old tester's youth. The Umarex were more consistent than the Crosmans, as evidenced by the utter consistency in how they chambered. In my...

Finally getting around to switching the Gem barrel and caliber from .175 steel BB to 6mm plastic BB, what a nice surprise to find she not only sighted in with the rear sight much closer to centered, but with much better accuracy than with .175 BBs. Three consecutive five-shot groups fired...

AoA is the original and primary sponsor of my TEXtreme Airgun Sports monthly long-range high-power airgun competitions, so I send them a LOT of business. FWIW, when they accepted my $50 off asking price offer he specified he couldn't do free shipping (also). I'd considered asking for it too...
