    Who hunts with their airguns?

    Just wondering who here hunts with their airguns here. I have been using a Benjamin .22 Maximus with JSB Hades pellets with very good results, the squirrels don’t stand a chance when the Hades hits home.

    Casting Ammo & Mix

    Anyone using the air guns more lately?

    Just wondering if any of you air using air guns more during the quarantine? With the scarcity/cost of ammo, social distancing, ranges being closed and people stuck at home, this seems like the perfect time for air guns.

    Best pellet size for doves?

    I snipe the Eurasian Collared doves around my place and was curious as to whether my .177 is better or worse for taking them down. Comments / experiences? I guess the bigger question is which one is more accurate and consistant.
