I had a similar experience shooting a sling-bow in my back yard. It shoots more like a traditional bow, less like a compound bow. First shot almost nailed one of my chickens. Haven't shot that bow in my yard since.

The Edgun Leshiy 2 is another such a revolver carbine, foldable and with a bit more of a modern look. It also has a detachable stock.

The problem with this advice is how new shooters will interpret it. i.e. someone that doesn't know much about guns and the severity of accidents, buys a 25cal or 30cal because it's the hot trendy thing and starts shooting it at 1000fps in a tiny back yard, because he knows there's experts...

I don't know about the laws in your town, you'd have to tell us where you live or figure that out for yourself. But .22" is about as large a round I'd shoot unless you have 4-acre lots in your town. If you have a huge yard where you can shoot with at least 200 yards to any property line...

I love folding rifles, and they tend to look more on the side of what people call "tactical". But that said, the Edgun Leshiy doesn't have to look like an AR15. It does have some configurations that are half-way there, though. I **wish** I could have a folding-stock shotgun but here in...

Didn't they shoot the exhaust port on the Death Star? I'm not sure what that terminology references on an airgun, either. None of my airguns have anything with that name, at least, not in the factory manuals. PCP's usually have something so you can release the air pressure without...

I imagine it's just the downside to the previous trend. It seemed like for the past 3-4 years all you'd hear is about people buying .25 cal rifles. The arguments didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I certainly understand why someone would want a .25 cal, but I always suspected many of...

In Canada right now Chinese goods are moving much more quickly than US goods, due to the USA being seen as unreliable -- its increasingly difficult to find USA produce in grocery stores up here. When I buy fruit it's either from Canada, Mexico or north African countries. I suppose its the...

On the first two pages of the classifieds today, I mainly see FX and Daystate items. The only Edgun-related for-sale I see is a speedloader. The only reason I'd sell my Leshiy 2 is because it was mostly made in Russia. Given that we're tumbling into WW3 it feels a little unpatriotic to own...

I think all these guns are illegal in Canada. :(

Not me. After I had shot around 1000 pellets, all my shooting was either "in anger" pesting, zeroing optics or taking my son to the range. So my shooting has significantly slowed-down. I got my start with firearms shooting 22LR. My uncles would regularly give me crates of 10,000 rounds...

I think in much of the States, convicted criminals are prohibited from owning powderburning firearms. Given the sheer volume of humanity that gets convicted of something in the States, that's a significant market of people looking for "gun like things" that can't own powderburners. So...

I have everything I need right now. So I'm not really holding off -- if I had an extra $10k sitting around I'd spend it on fixing my car.

I have two CF tanks, still within their 5 year time of purchase. That said, I won't bother getting a tank tested unless I'm suspicious of it. My impression is that when such a tank fails it's not a dangerous failure. More often than not it will be a slow leak. The only real precaution you...

For me it's the Edgun Leshiy 2 in .22", firing Crosman pellets. Usually with a 3x 640x480 thermal scope on it, but I'm experimenting with a hybrid thermal red dot. Most of my pesting is at night. My shots are usually 20 yards or less. The longest shot possible in my yard is about 30 yards...
