My Daystate Super Leggero arrived today and?? Wow what a solid machine. Having watched the video at AOA at least four times. I simply added oil. Plugged it in and got to filling my 60 minute SCBA from 3000 to 4500 PSI in 22 minutes. Excluding a one minute warm up and one minute to equalize...

Went out after pest birds today, these unfortunate nine were caught in the act of stealing feed. I missed opportunities on at least 6 more, wasn’t ready for shots and some I just plain missed… Either way a fun few hours. The owner wants me to prioritize woodchucks. So the Ghost Carbine is coming...

My Hatsan Lightning has served me well until today. Was filling my SCBA from 2800 to 4000 psi, when the following started happening at 3500 psi. The on/off switch started smoking and before I knew it there was smoldering coming from it and the other switches. Once before through vibration, I...

While pesting in many prior and yet to come instances, when spotting that first opportunity? I’ve let excitement get the better of me and have rushed shots. Misses mostly… And the frustration lingers over a literally, missed opportunity. Over the years I’ve learned to seriously calm down...

Went out for rats last night and was utterly skunked for various reasons and interruptions. Also it was cold and the rats being smarter than I stayed in… So, I went back out this afternoon about 4 pm to see what I might… It was a good session… Took a bunch of sparrows and two rats in this very...

Took my wife on a 21 mile tandem bicycle ride out to the Ashokhan Reservoir for Mother’s Day. Got back home and was relaxing on my back porch enjoying a brew and thought. “Let me send a few”, so I set up some wine corks as pictured at 31, 43 and 53 yards. Sending CPHPs off of a tripod that...

This young one was just a little too curious… was perusing old videos and came across this one… Made me laugh all I had was my Atomic XR and the power of my voice…🙈

My first kill of the day was at 60 yards off the hood of my truck at the trees pictured in the background… I then moved into the building and shot off a rail from 50 yards away. I was murdering them, yes I missed, wind calls, little branches in the way, etc. But I managed to bag thrice the...

Was at my permission setting up shooting lanes and proped my Atomic up. And this peahen decided to check it out… The darn thing is bigger than the BRK… but I must admit she has good taste…🤓

I love my airguns for the practical to me, sub 60 yards pesting/plinking opportunities I may encounter… That said, I understand that there are a select few, who through due diligence and many, many rounds downrange. May achieve consistent 5 shot, 1 MOA groups at 100 yards, whether with pellets...

This particular Atomic is sporting an UTG OP3 Micro SLS and a forward pistol grip. Did some plinking at 25 yards and 50 yards and then decided to move the objects out to 54 yards. Sending CPHPs… All shots kneeling, forward pistol grip resting on table. Hit, hit, miss, hit, hit… etc. Simply some...

Still need to refine the setup a bit and reposition the table. But was able to take these two tonight. The rats knew I was there because there was an unexpected by me, backlighting situation. Anyway stayed only an hour, as it was a long workday and I got cold. And like I mention I need to refind...

My seup for the upcoming weeks’ attempt on rats. This station is only 15 yards away from the pictured kill zones. Have had great success with a similar setup in the past. Atomic XR, TP on low, with Zulus atop sending CPHPs. Am hoping to record some of the action. Confirmed my 15 and 25 yard POI...

Shot and killed 10 starlings today, but could only recover the pictured six and the lone sparrow… All shots at 30 yards, sending CPHPs, TP on low for just under 20 FPE at the muzzle… They simply crumple when hit center mass…

Yes, you can go whole hog… Or you can simply attach a red or green light, to the accurate rig of your choice and have at it. The majority of rats, will never know the difference. You will eventually “evolve” your setup, or not. Because if it works? Why spend more? For me the major downside to...

This post was inspired by this one… My pellet problem… Pathfinder XR .22, three, 5 shot groups, casually and quickly sent after work. Bipod front, shoulder as rear bag. The CPHPs were sent with the TP on low. The JSBs were sent with the TP on high. Wind was at 10 mph, gusting to 25 mph as per...

My five shot group this evening, confirming zero for some nighttime ratting. Argos HMR 2-12x44 with a simple red light attached. Also did some indoor shooting at 8-10 yards to confirm holdovers at those distances… I currently have a Zulus atop my primary Atomic, but the fact is the vast...

The same pest birds, English house sparrows and starlings that I kill without mercy at my permissions. I have a hard time culling out in my backyard. Here’s the gist, I have five different suet cake stations. Two at 15 yards, two at 35 yards and one at 53 yards. These past few days because of...

My Pathfinder heard about the Atomics’ double kill and wanted to get some: All shots at 30 yards. The chickens pecked the crap out of one starling and made off with a sparrow… There were lots of them pest birds, but I was short of time. I will be punishing them going forwards…

Went on a little scouting mission, the place was loaded with starlings, but I couldn’t get at them like I wanted to. While the Arken Zulus has been great for nighttime ratting and some overwatch pesting. It severely lacking for me in fast action situations… Am going back, but with my Pathfinder XR…🤓
