    Ruger Impact Max

    I grabbed one as an impulse buy while shopping for xmas at Walmart 140. I cleaned the barrel that was it. Started shooting cphp just to help lead up the barrell and I have a bunch and for breaking in a gun they work well. The initial chrono after 25 shots was 1150. The gun was diesel ing pretty...

    Looking to buy a new airgun which one?

    Those uragan have me really interested. It's on my watch list for my next pcp. Read a lot of reviews and the uragan beats out all the other pups it gets compared to. From wht I've read so far. Taipan veteran is another solid choice.

    high power 22 for small game

    Taipan veteran. I had mine stock at 44.9fpe with redesigned monsters 25.4 grain shooting dime groups at 80 yards when i do my part. Beautiful trigger, accuracy and great power I'm currently looking for a heavier spring to up my velocities for shooting slugs. So far slugs do quite well hit harder...

    Knockdown power my philosophy

    In slingshot hunting it rarely generates 12fpe mostly below. I've seen English guys dropping squirrels but sometimes they run up and snap the neck. I see alot use 9mm round ball (3/8 in) some like bigger ammo some say smaller. With 250fps let's say and 9mm round ball usually it splits the skin...

    Another one falls to the Boss

    Also possums eat copper heads. They did a study and found one that was hit by a car in nc that had 25 baby copper heads in its belly so unless its causing property damage I give em the pass too. But clearly once they get into your attic and ducts its time to take em out.

    Fourth Coyote down one to go.

    Nice shooting. I'm in nc too alamance county I haven't tried hunting these guys since I dont have a night scope but they are thick. I can hear em barking and calling eachother at night. Sometimes it sounds like there are 20 of them within 100yards of the house.

    Taipan Mutant/Veteran and slugs

    Nielsen now has 24.8 grain and 23 and the other sizes he already carried but now has a new automatic press so labor cost has dropped and so you can get 350, .217, 23gr, .22 for 25 dollars (shipping included) which ain't bad at all considering you pay that for 500 USB hades with shipping. And...

    Taipan Mutant/Veteran and slugs

    Well that seals it for me. I'm going to grab some .217 and see what happens. Update: I finally for ro set up and do some chrono testing. I don't have a spot I can just set up and leave a table chairs and get enough distance close to the house which is where I want to be when testing so I am...

In my tp long .22 I shot a 10 shot string that averaged 904 fps with the jsb 25.4 lost light and chrono stopped reading. I am all stock and dont have spring maxed out. But that's 46fpe...

    well hell I may well have under esti smated squirrels. They have very good eyesight and there peripheral vision is as good as there straight on sight. The way there eyes are they work like yellow tinted shooters glassed allegedly and cut sunlight glare. While they are color blind for the most...

    Can squirrels see pellets in flight?

    interesting theory. My 2 cents I can't see a pellet travelling without magnification or knowing where someine Is shooting (where projectile is going ) my eyes ain what they were after an accident a decade back. Now I need glasses but ain't had time to get em...anyway, I am suspicious if...
