My last couple of times out after pest squirrels, I missed just too many easy targets, so I set up a target to see what was going on-was it the gun, the wind, or me? At both 25 and 50 yards my POI was markedly to the left. There was a decent breeze, so I switched direction and shot 180° in the...

I was in the shade of a huge valley oak enjoying a nice breakfast burrito, my tailgate was down with my AA S410 on it. I had been hunting a property for ground squirrels for a farmer friend. It feels like I’ve gone back about fifty years out here. Maybe 8 cars went by in 4 hours…no leaf blowers...

I just got off the phone with a farmer friend who is going to show me a new place to hunt pestilent ground squirrels. I can't speak for you fellers, but I would rather have an hour in a new hunting ground than a week at Disneyland. What makes it even more fun is being able to be have it all to...

I often see refurbished items on retailer inventories, how exactly are these things refurbished? Do they get sent to a manufacturer's repair facility? Sometimes I wonder if refurbished just means cleaned up and put in a new pretty box. For those of you who have experience, what do you prefer...

The most important measurement of accuracy for any of my fire arms is MOS...minute of squirrel. Anything better than that is for bragging rights at the range. This time of year MOS is a much tighter group as there are weee little juveniles running about.

My old Air Arms still delivers its packages with terrific accuracy. This model was bought in 2001 and doesn’t have a safety or a regulator, but 30 shots without adding air and still hitting what you aim at speaks for itself. I use JSB 16gr exclusively as it loves them like its first born. My

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...

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...

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. Just for the fun of it, what would you buy(all new, unused) with the following budgets, to get back in the game (gun, extra mags, compressor/pump if you go...

I’ve yet to meet anybody who is a one hobby enthusiast. Virtually all the people I meet at the range, also love their knives and/or fishing. 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)...

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...

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?

Is it fashion, or is it actual advancement in technology? Do they really need to be that big? I, personally, am fine with 30mm objectives. Even in low light situations, I’ve never had a problem. Additionally, glass is heavy, so less is lighter. Thoughts and opinions?

As usual, JSB takes the prize. All 50yd groups are ten shots. The 25yd groups are from 5 to 7 shots. All done with the Air Arms S410 in 22cal with scope magnification at 20x. 

Finally got the old girl up and running. This gun was purchased in 03. It has no safety, and a great trigger. I forgot how AA got it right the first time. Proof that I don’t have to spend $1,800 for a new gun. I dropped $440 on the scope and certainly got my money’s worth-it was on zero for...

I’m a “best value to price” kinda dude. I like the good stuff. Sometimes I break down and buy top of the line things(like pellets/ammo). But over the years I’ve found that once a certain level of quality is achieved, from there, slight to minuscule are the increments of improvement that come...

I just unboxed my new AV Nomad, and carefully read the instructions. The manual says that when you plug it in(I’m using 110) the fan should come on. After getting it all set up, I plugged it in….nothing happened. So I double checked all of the connections. Still nada. Then I tried another...

Considering that each kind/weight of pellet may have it’s own POI, how do you guys zero a newly mounted scope? I’m mounting a Meopta Optika 5 4-20x44 SFP on my Air Airms S410 today and then I’ll be off to the range tomorrow. I plan on shooting 16gr and 18gr JSB’s, and 21gr Beeman Kodiaks...

Air Arms owners, I just got my AA S410 back today from being repaired(thank you David Slade). I have a new scope/rings I’ll be mounting in a couple of days. My question, is this a stop for the ring mount? If not, then do I need to do anything to it like tap it down flush with the top rail...

A question just for general interest that popped into my head- how do you store your guns? If you know a gun will be in the safe for a few months, to years even, do you do anything special to keep the rust, dust, grime, and/or decline of the weapon to a minimum? How often do you check on them?
