    new pcp on the way today ... RTI Prophet Performance Compact .22

    I was dead set on getting an HW 100 bullpup carbine but I got my mind changed unexpectedly mostly because of shot count and the realization that I had an unreasonable objection to bottle guns. Truth is I bought the Taipan knowing that it 'fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch' but I...

    ... the ground squirrel might be down under for this one ... 107degF to 112degF

    It NEVER gets this hot in Northern Oregon and I wonder what the GS will do. I found several yesterday at 93degF but not as many as I saw the other day. We have AC in two rooms and garage, 150 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank with 60deg water, and fans... no problem. Generator just in case power...

    ... how does a PCP guy shoot a Diana 54 springer?

    He doesn't!!! It's an awesome gun in excellent condition but I hate shooting it so I gave it to my friend, neighbor, fishing buddy and welding customer. He was shocked and grateful. He wanted a "pea shooter" for elk camps and now he's got it it. Obviously explained about the dry fire NoNo...

    I have a Taipan Vet Long. Below are the dimensions I am interested in for the other sizes of the Veteran. Please contribute the dimensions for the Compact and Standard. Obviously I can get OAL from vendor's sites and I am pretty sure the dimensions for each model are the same regardless of...

    ... wanting a pcp that makes an explosion of ground squirrel guts ... PURE GORE

    My Taipan Veteran Long .25cal is awesome on GS and I can't wait to shoot it, every day, but I am getting urges for more knockdown and less wiggling. Currently shooting JSB/FX 25.4 grain and Hades at 900 to 930fps. I don't want to play the game of buying a bajillion slugs trying to figure out...

    Ground Squirrel --- Robbing The Cradle --- Taipan Vet Long .25 + Hades

    I went to get firewood at my GS permission, did so, and was surprised to see soooooo many juvenile GS running about. Of course I brought my Taipan and figured on MAYBE getting in a shot or two after firewood duties. Filled the truck with oak and black walnut, nice stuff, and drove to The Honey...

    ... Taipan VL.25 ... Ground Squirrel ... They Have A Death Wish

    Went to the permission to cut firewood and of course brought the Taipan, just in case. I was there five minutes and the brother of property owner was following behind me in his truck. I stopped short of the killing zone to let him get first crack at it and we chatted about the GS and the bobcat...

    Dairy Shooting ... Happy Dairymen ... Had a BLAST

    The owner, his Missus, a worker, and excavation Dude were there to fix a cow poop recycling plumbing issue and I was 20' from them for over an hour dropping birds and they saw some of the kill shots at 40+ yards. After the cleanout was re-assembled and Lake Poop receded the owner came over and...

    Taipan VL.25 ... ground squirrel ... headshot ... close

    It was a sow at 25 yards and messy. Got two young pups, down the hatch they went, and man are they ever stupid. I just posted the story and another one showed up and I shot it right in the head. It's weird because I shot it heard a big thunk and it flopped over rolled down the hill about...

    ... "DRT", what does it mean? ... I came up with an answer

    So many acronyms in the air gun world. After seeing several starling flop / drop over dead on the spot they were standing on, after a hit with .25 cal Hades, I've decided that "DRT" simply means Dropped Right There.

    I had a blast and so did the starling. The last thing that went through their minds... HaHa, was Hades.25. Just kidding, no head shots. It was 85deg and I found two game changers: huge hay bale in the shade a bucket Whacked a bunch of them and the owner was delighted cuz they can't find ammo...

    ... Alaska fishing trip booked ... ground squirrel hunting maybe

    Apparently there's no season or bag limit on GS in Alaska, hmmm. I thought it was gonna be an Arctic Grayling fishing trip with a lot of Kodak wildlife moments but I may need to bring more than rods. Do I bring a .44mag or an air rifle? Tough decisions, Ha Ha. The thought of bears and me...

    Taipan VL .25 ... 25 yards ... ground squirrel

    This is turning out to be probably the warmest day of the year so far and man the ground squirrel sure got stupid. I saw this one waited less than 10 minutes and it came out there and just stared at me at 25 yards. Shot in the left side of the face and it came out the right side of the body...

    ... Diana 52 de-tuned a bit ... shooting nicely

    Went from factory spring and guide to a Macarri kit and that went well but still a tad bit noisy for the backyard and just too much.. Next step was to remove the Macarri and go back to the factory spring but cut it down, they are cheap, and see what fps reduction I'd get from that. factory...
