    Multi-Part Question

    MikeW, Admonishment received. Shame on me for asking questions about air guns on a discussion board about air guns without doing my own research. I hang my head in shame.

    Multi-Part Question

    My specific questions- When was the first modern commercially manufactured pcp marketed? And by whom? What technological hurtles had to be jumped in order for the modern pcp to come around to where it is now? When and who marketed the first high quality pellets for air gunning? Could a...

    Sensitive Topic

    In disclosing this problem, I hope that none of you assumed I would ever consider harming any of my neighbor's pet's. Nor do I advocate breaking any fire arms ordinances in and around my neighborhood. As of yet, I have not intentionally harmed one animal. In fact, I don't think I have the...

    Sensitive Topic

    We have lots of feral cats around my neighborhood. I myself am a pet owner and love my animals. I got into air gunning because of ground squirrel issues when I moved into my new house(21 years ago now) and have since done in thousands of them over the years. Lately, their have been old, sick...

    What is your most 'precise' airgun?

    This S410 is both accurate and precise…no mods, just new seals and a foster connection.

    Fantasy Airgun Time

    Pretend you woke up this morning and found that all of your airguns and all the accessories that goes with them(including ammo) are gone.

A lot of the people I meet fishing, also love guns and knives and loud internally combusted petrol burners. My hobbies are shooting(both powder and air)...

    Nomad stuck at 2000psi!?

    I’ve recharged my AAS410 twice with my Nomad ll. Both times it worked flawlessly. Today, it won’t get over 2000psi. I’ve followed the instructions to a T. I make sure I bleed the line every time. I put a drop of lube each time. Both the gun and the compressor are registering 150 bar. Bad valve...

    What Attracts You To Airguns?

    My wife was at the range with me last weekend. She came over to my bench and tried my airgun for a couple of shots. She was not very impressed and asked me, “What’s your attraction to airguns, I don’t get it?” Now it’s your turn-what is it about airguns that bends your taco?

    What’s with these huge objective lenses?

    Then why stop at 56mm? Why not 65mm, 75mm, 90mm? As many of you added, quality of design from the gitgo is the key, and that encompasses all of the rest of the details in the manufacture of a telescopic rifle sight. Furthermore, I’m not sure that the diameter of the objective plays any part in...
