    .25 caliber at 32 FPE not enough?

    at normal range its all in where you hit them .. ive literally blown squirrels apart with 15 rnds out of a .22lr and they were still lively and kicking and had to club them the rest of the way ... that said, about 15 ft lbs under 30 yds smacks a squirrel just right for some reason ... high...

    New to pcp

    go for a low wind day, early is best to avoid rising air heat spots, and id use a heavy 'pellet' like a 33 .. get her cookin over 950 and it should do purdy good😋 .. id be looking at a graph in a ballistics app to, to see where to best sight it, then maybe presight some markers in the area so...

    Classic or Tactical? Which do you prefer and why?

    most classic stocks work better in my stands holders and tripod mounts, which i generally use most for setting up on little fluffy victims😋 but ultimately i dont care unless they wind up unbalanced on a mount or something is just in the way .. 'looks' dont matter one bit if theyre a pita in...

    850nm vs 940nm for night vision. Which one do you use?

    ive done alot of experimenting with both .. for all practical purposes within air gun distance there is 'no' difference in the amount of illumination youll get - battery quality and condition will effect it more than wavelength .. that said, a 940 is a no-brainer .. its much more stealthy, the...

    How do you like Aliexpress?

    i use it for some things, but one small bit of advice ... understand that most vendors dont speak english so actual communication on a problem will likely be non existent and also, the biggie, they consider lost or damaged packages to be youre problem once it leaves their port, so ... i only...

    PCP questions.

    not familiar with that one, but .5 at 100 with solid consistency - not really realistic for a pellet gun imo .. 50, yeah, most decent guns will do that, with the higher end ones being almost like lazers, pretty satisfying .. .177 is affected alot more by wind generally, even at 50 .. so id say...

    Shooting slugs questions.

    i dunno .. the way i visualize it, slugs really arnt ideal for airguns period, unless its a set range and you need the penetration for large critters .. its the pronounced airgun 'arc' flightpath imo .. pellets are deisigned to 'fly' it and keep the nose on track, slugs tend to retain the nose...

    Introduction - New to PCP after 40+ years with Pew Pews

    i still havent resolved whether or not its 'actually' cheaper😂 guess it depends .. if you wind up with a whole rack full of pcps its gonna take awhile for the ammo situation to balance it out ..

    N/A Best value PCP?

    depends on what you expect out of it, ive put alot of things to sleep with the benjamin lineup with id say a 90% one shot drop rate .. all of them deliver on a budget if the goal is 'pesting' just size/cali er to fit the sitiation .. but yeah, if you need to stack pellets at 100 youre gonna have...

    N/A spring piston airguns and nightvision

    rats can even detect night vision, and they can definitely figure 'you' out if their buddies are getting dropped .. theyre super aware, its a matter of what they label as danger . so yeah even a regular light would work, just set it up so you can see the target area where feed is on the ground...

    Authentic Yong Heng?

    its real iffy 'going lowball' and getting one from a vendor that isnt moving alot of them ( look at the reviews, two?) ... how i read that is he got them secondhand probably, as returns from his uncles store, comprende? maybe nothing wrong with it at all .. maybe .. but its alot more positive...

    How cold is to cold?

    ...the window open to be most successful, which means leaving the heat off, heated blanket, propane buddy heater in the room, and a couple of infrared motion detectors for early warning set up around the coop ... but me actually getting out in 30* weather by choice and 'hunting', no .. just no🥶

    Scope Question

    if i had all that adjustability, id set it to optical center then adjust the rings to where it was close to correct elevation at the 'ideal' zero for the gun .. for most airguns its typically around 20yds ..

    N/A Which of your airguns would you choose for a 60yd target for only one shot?

    if it was something small like a squirrel, id be pretty confident i could smack him first shot with the cayden ..

    Other thinking about buying an avenger, for plinking and some occasional hunting. would a hand pump be reasonable or a compressor is a must?

    i got by with a marauder .25 for years with a handpump ...pumping all day isnt going to be attractive, but pesting and several mags here and there, no problem .... i wouldnt say an electric pump is a must unless you move into larger bottle-fed guns or big bores ..

    Fat barrel

    key word is heavy .. some guns got plenty of room for it if theyre shrouded etc ..i think its more of a long range thing though, doubt any measurable improvement in accuracy will be occuring at 50yds with a heavy barrel .. more depends on bore specs condition and quality ..
