    Shooting around power/phone lines

    So all the cool guys are doing it, even with slugs. But I'm scared. Are you guys all really that good, even at 100 yards? Or whatever yards. Are the wires and their casings really that strong? I could see hitting a wire as an ordinary thing anyone could do, and even wonder if it could even...

    Feedback Mikelo123, great sale, fast, as claimed

    I got a nice rifle from Mikelo123 in just the condition he honestly claimed it was in, and it was shipped very quickly. Great after-sale availability to answer some questions about the rifle, too, which I found valuable and appreciate a lot. I would not hesitate to recommend buying from him...

    Thoughts on Primary Arms 22LR ACSS scope?

    Thoughts on this Primary Arms scope? I will probably continue to do most of my shooting at 50 yards or less with rare exception. https://www.primaryarms.com/primary-arms-slx6-1-6x24mm-sfp-rifle-scope-gen-3-illuminated-acss-22lr-reticle This is their only scope built around this reticle - this...

    Astigmatism - substantially negated by red dot PLUS magnifier?

    Okay so I saw that claim but cannot get to the local gun store because of my job to check it out with my new red dot sight. Any feedback appreciated.

    Bore sight?

    Two questions(sorta): 1. Do you guys ever use a bore sight? If so, can you recommend one? (I've never zeroed a scope and can't even see where I'm hitting with my .25.) 2. I saw this one, among many. It looks like it will do for my .177, but the 4th pic down shows adapters in ascending...

    Baiting station without tools

    So I'm not a tool guy/craftsman, I'm an office fella. Lefty-loosey righty-tighty was a revelation in consciousness for me. The only tools I have access to, I don't, as I am the caretaker for a widow overrun by ground and tree squirrels who got elder abused (the lady, not the squirrels) by...

    Air whip leaks toward end of fill?

    So my hand pump came with a fill whip and so did my SCBA tank from AoA. Both whips do like what just happened as I was trying to fill my Marauder pistol just now. 1. Seem to be attached securely to the pistol, as in I cannot readily pull them off. 2. Let air through to the tank to and...

    Stock pads/extensions for long arms?

    So I have definitely long arms, longish neck, and I'm shouldering my Avenger and feeling myself kind of cramped. Both feeling like my wrist has to torque too much to hold the pistol grip section and like I have to lean sideways to the right to get a good sight picture. Of course that will make...

    Cheap but reliable/efficient squirrel ender?

    Sometimes I don't hit quite right with my air rifle and it's not a good feeling. Suggestions on a pistol I can chase with or run up with to solve the problem from close-up, hopefully darn reliably with a single shot?

    Help with my Pard NV008lrf two-shot zero?

    Hey guys. So I have been trying to do that "two-shot zero" I've seen videos about. 25 yards. The rifle is shooting far right and low by comparison with where the PARD's aiming point is initially. Thing is, I can move the X axis to the right just fine, but the Y axis runs out at a reading of...

    How does a range finder go wrong/get weird?

    So I got an inexpensive range finder, under a 100 bucks, a while ago and started playing with it. Been real happy with it except today, where it consistently shows things farther away as FEWER yards away. What the ...? Does this sound familiar to anyone? I'm wondering if it's just a battery...

    .25 enough for humane body shots on squirrels?

    I very rarely see anyone talk about body shots with squirrels, but I'm guessing that's because, at least with the videos I see, virtually everyone seems to be using a .177 or .22. But what about with a .25? Are we getting into territory where a heart-lung shot is predictably sufficient and humane?

    Have you modified your moderator?

    So I got a moderator with felt in it, and wonder if I should supplement it with more materials, like steel wool or something else, who knows. And ... have any of you messed about with yours and made them better or worse? Any suggestions?

    What's too heavy or just wrong for my .22 Marauder pistol?

    So I have a PROD, .22 caliber pistol. I am shooting it almost entirely within 25 yards and probably will be for the forseeable future. Are there any pellets or pellet weights or even designs I should avoid if my aim is big and little squirrels in that range? I would like to have confidence...

    Is there a problem using nippled 18650s when flats are called for?

    Look to title. Besides if it fits.

    18650 battery (for PARD and other lights) recommendation?

    I got my new PARDNV008lrf in just now, and see they want a flat-top, not button/nipple top, 18650 3.7v battery. And I've seen people strongly recommending getting really good ones, including ones I can't find on Amazon. Any recommendations on that battery and/or charger, please? I've already...

    Buy a bigger caliber moderator -- how much is too much?

    So Donny of DonnyFL and others recommend using a moderator that's one caliber bigger than your airgun. So I got a .25 DonnyFL for my .22. And I'm wondering if it will likely be a waste of time to try it on a .177 I'm considering buying. Is two sizes up still any good?

    What Edguns are no good at 100 yards or outdated?

    So I see everything about Edguns being salivated over and I'm doing the same thing. But I come from ignorance, not experience or knowledge. What about you? If you were to buy an Edgun, what would you leave behind? Maybe wait for the next iteration? And what Edguns might you enjoy the heck...

    These guys legit?

    Been thinking HARD about a PardNV008lrf and few places carry it, especially at non-crazy prices, especially in the U.S. So I found this place https://www.thermal-imaging-scope.com/Rangefinder-night-vision-scope-for-hunting-pard-NV008LRF-plus-en ... and the yucky price is right compared to so...
