On the second time out this year, Steve O and I closed the deal on a turkey. We're still trying like heck for the goal of both of us getting a bird on the same morning for a photo op, but through a comedy of errors from misfiring guns, spooking birds, wounded ones getting away, you name it, we...

I've been working on some murals and mosaics in the shop the last couple of days. To take a break from the constant drone of the tile saw, I took a short (50 yard) walk through the commodity barn and surrounding area for some Euro action. I wasn't disappointed as there were about 15 birds that I...

The incessant rain has been highly annoying. In addition to the amount that NorCal has been getting, it's been a timing issue that whenever there was opportunity to get out either in the field or on the water it's been pouring or flooding. Yesterday and today are beautiful here. Chilly in...

A couple of buddies and I are looking at possibly taking a roadie to Texas. Two of us are airgun guys, one is strictly rifle. We're looking for a place that's either high or low fence, has multiple species (pigs, whitetail, possibly exotics), has accommodations and guides, and is reasonably...

Another AGG member, SteveO, and I will be hosting a booth to educate the general public on modern airguns, generate interest for the hobby, and interact with thousands of people at the Penngrove Celebration and Parade on July 2nd in Penngrove California. We'll have PCP's, big bores, shooting...

I've been steadily picking off ground squirrels for the last month or so in the barnyard. This morning I was able to whack two in about 20 minutes. They were the only two I saw. Both made the fatal mistake that so many squirrels commit; the popped up for a secondary look. The first guy was...

It's been a while since I got out with the MKII .25. The last time I was out pesting on the dairy I got careless and got taken out by a young bull. I turned my back on him and got back into a tight spot. At any rate, I think I told that tale back in the Fall when it happened bu the short version...

When I got home from work yesterday, I saw that there were a few birds above the pond at about 400 yards from the driveway. I had seen hens there in the last few days, but no toms. From the road I could see two big shiny black birds mixed in with the duller ones and I figured those were toms...

It's been a while since I've picked up an airgun. The wet winter combined with the "Bull Incident" last Fall that damaged my Impact took some wind out of my sails as far as getting out with my airguns. Now that Spring is trying to get started I've got the urge. The appearance of ground...

The squirrels have just overrun the creek bottoms, deadfalls, and especially barn foundations this year. I've been averaging @ 10 a week just plinking within 100 yards of the house since the beginning of June. Combined with a little Euro dove action it makes for a nice break when I get home from...

I was running a few slugs through the FX MKII .25 off of my deck to get some numbers for another shooter's data, and I saw a squirrel pop up in the creek bed in the distance to see what all of the hubbub was about. I literally had ONE slug left in my clip, so I dropped the bipod on the deck...

Yesterday Steve O and I did a morning turkey hunt. Steve was running late from switching vehicles, so I made an executive decision on which side of the property I would hunt. The ranch we hunt is not overly large (around 160 acres), but it's dominated by a steep wooded creek bottom on one...

I've been eyeing a wood pile at @ 200 yards for a while from my deck. There's a colony of squirrels in the creek bed and I've taken a couple from various spots up and down this 20-30 yard section of burrows, root systems and deadfalls. However, I've been stymied by the rats that perch on top of...

Noticed a ground a squirrel climbing off of a post IN MY BACKYARD. Does he even realize the danger he's put himself in?? At any rate, I got the MKII .25 and went out to see if he was still around. He bailed, but I took the time to crank up the scope and scan the south end of a creek bottom that...

I had a short workday today so I arrived home mid/late morning after wrapping up a project. When I was coming up the driveway, I saw a tom turkey at about 500 yards walking steadily across a field. I decided to throw on my ghillie suit at the house, and start hiking quick to get in front of him...

I've been avoiding the thought of a complete ban on lead in my state with airguns, but at some point it's probably going to be a reality. Has anyone used the .25 cal above-mentioned pellets in an FX Impact (or any other PCP) and if so, what are your thoughts on them? I'm not ready to jump ship...

Fun morning. Being tucked into the ground blind and listening to the cacophony of the dawn creatures was cool. I had some 'yotes chirping in the draws around me and I thought I heard some soft hen clucks as the sun came up. The area is on the side of a mountain above a valley/town and the fog...

I filled my tank this morning and at about 4100 psi the pressure relief valve opened on my AV compressor and is stuck open. Not sure what my next move is...wondering if this is something that someone else has experienced. Before I start taking stuff apart I was hoping to get some feedback. ...

Just a quick update on the Texan .50. Had it out for the first round of reigning in the accuracy and it's going to be a challenge. The Umarex .350 gr. was at least within a few inches at 100 yards and that will of course improve with some adjusting to air pressure/power. However, the Hunter...

I've been slowly putting the pieces together for my .50 Texan. I received the stock a few days ago and words cannot describe how amazing it is. Pictures don't do it justice. The only thing possibly more amazing than the aesthetics is the ergonomics. The gun feels PERFECT! The attention to detail...
