    Slynger targets

    I was inspired at the PACup to try something new. I had these Air Venturi steel targets from Walmart but wasn't sure how to set them up. I took little block of wood ,drilled holes for a deep staple. I tied the chicken and pig to the block with waxed sail twine. Set the out at 20 and 30 yds...

    Crosman pellets

    With the rearrangement at Crosman…are they still going to make plentiful pellets? I went online to the Walmart site and it seems they don’t have CPHP’s available. I used to get them for $7. Any body know. TIA, Stay well all👍😉

    Quad cane repurpose

    A couple of years ago I was real sick and needed a quad cane to get around. Now that I am better I wanted to repurpose my old friend. I bought a V steady rest on Amazon and mounted it to the handle for a quick and dirty setup when I have an immediate urge to shoot. I had to wrap the V arms with...

    Gamo Sight seeing..again

    Last week I posted about the joy of seeing and shooting after cataract surgery. I was further inspired by the reports of using iron sights again. It was so great to see my sights on my old Gamo Silver Shadow 1000 .177. All was going good till I couldn’t sight it in at 25yds. All shots low...

    What a difference without cataracts

    In the past month I had both eyes cataract removal. It is some tremendous shooting now. I was just out. With my old Gamo Whisper .177 with a scope. After readjusting the ocular it was so amazIng. At 35 yds. I could see where the paint chipped off my spinners even with my sunglasses on. Never...

    CVLife3x9 40AO

    Tonight I put my new CV scope on my old Gamo Whisper. Took a bit to zero but I really like the scope so far. I am on a limited budget so “economical” scopes are the way to go for me. It really performs for me at 40yds. I watched some videos on it before getting it from Walmart. Got a 2 yr...

    Lesson learned, buyer beware bargain pellets

    This week end I went to my first AG show. Re ally enjoyed it , saw some great guns and met some nice people. The problem I had was mostly self induced I suppose. The vendor was selling tins of JSB Exact .22 Heavy’s. I was kind of in a happy stupor and not thinking logically. He wanted 15 for 2...

    Little table targets

    Finally found a use for those little tables that hold the box off the pizza when delivered. We had a pizza night Saturday and after the cleanup I saw potential targets . I put them out about 30 yards and had some fun repurposing 🤣

    Shoulder Brace

    Just wanted to share my experience with my shoulder therapy. Couple of years ago I injured my shoulder from a fall. I think it is a rotator cuff injury, all I know is it can ache like a son of a gun. I have always been a barrel cocker or a pumper so I thought my shooting days were numbered...

    Riser pr

    Rainy , muddy afternoon. Decided to build a DIY riser. Not the prettiest but it came out perfect for my cheek weld. All total only about $5. Tape, mole skin, and 2 1x4" strips from a camping mat. Stay well all👍

    Back to plnking happily

    Hi all, It's been 2 + years since being able to shoot due to illness. Didn't have enough strength to crank my springers and hold up to aim. Happily that seems to be done with. Here's a picture of my first serious attempt to begin again. .177 are with my old Gamo Silver Shadow 1000. The .22's...

    Sign recycling..

    You know those plasticoat signs popping up in every one's yards now a days? Well once they are done and served their purpose they make excellent target holders . You can staple to them or stick Shoot and See's to them. They have a pretty good life left in the before the dump gets em. How you...

    Tune or not?

    I really like my Nitro Venom .22 gas piston that I've had for a couple of years. I finally figured out how to shoot it well and consistently. This spring I got a Chrono after many years of airgunning without that knowledge. Anyway..my Venom is shooting avg. 740 muzzle velocity in 70-80 degree...

    Got my Chrony, work begins

    I received my Chrony from PA yesterday and finally got a dry spell to check my guns. My Trail .22 isn't too bad with consistent 790's . I did get concerned with my Nitro Venom .22 as my avg. was 691 for the string. Down range it was 595 @ 34 yds.(CPHP's). I think it may be time to reseal. Never...

    Get a Chrony ?

    I've been an AGer for quite a while. I shoot pretty often and really enjoy the hobby and a pretty good Springer shooter. I've even tuned and repaired my guns. My question is....is it really rewarding to get a Chrony and does it make the shooting experience more enjoyable?..I know the advantages...

    Pellets won't fit well

    Forgive me if I'm rehashing an old post but I couldn't find one that addressed this. Anyway.. yesterday I bought some .177 Crosman Piranna's at W/M on a whim. Usually I use CPHD's as my go to pellet. Well the new Piranna's don't fit the bore well at all and they are sooo inaccurate. It's like...

    Cheap spotter telescope

    Back in the shop looking for something to do....found my old Gamo scope 3-9x40 with a broken windage turret. Remembered I had some PVC drain pipe around almost the right id. With the help of some black duct tape and cutting a piece of pipe to get the eye relief. Cobbled it all together and I...

    Nitro Venom Trigger

    I was rumaging around my shop and my AG supplies and found an extra GTRlll trigger that I "over" ordered a few years ago. Anyway ....I am really enjoying my Venom a lot lately so I decided to install the new find. Wow...what a difference. It is so great having a good trigger now. This being...

    Local Walmart redemption

    Hi all... Went to the local Walmart and was pleasantly surprised. After the great Pistolo purge I was feared that it was going anti airgun. Anyway it seems the dept manager is restocking the AG dept and it looks healthier. Lots of ammo and even sore reactive targets. I was so impressed I bought...
