    Are you prepared to deal with Game Wardens

    You're on the right track. I'm not familiar with Texas laws, only Florida ones. I would have a printed copy of the pertinent statutes on hand. Many LEO's don't want to look at your phone. Believe me, a printed copy would be better. Make sure it lists the relevant statute numbers so the LEO...

    Airgunner Hunter / Marriage Tip: Clean up the family vehicle after hunting!

    Buck-gutsicle. I can't unsee that. Wasn't there, but I can just imagine the stench. Back in the day, a particularly evil practical joker put a raw shrimp into our supervisor's work car vent. It was funny until they had to spend like three grand to clean out the AC system.

    Cock or Not

    Is that because of the design of your other PCP's? What makes the difference? I don't know enough about their inner workings to know.

    I have a Flash in .22. I have done. nothing to it at all. I prefer a magazine's worth of precision than a mag's worth of power. should I adjust?

    Cock or Not

    You're right Bill. I'm not comfortable with that either, unless my partners are former or actual cops. Then I know they have been highly trained in the use of arms and I don't worry so much. It's like driving. I'm not comfortable with others driving me unless they're cops. Then I know they...

    Cock or Not

    I'm retired law enforcement. For three decades I moved around with firearms (multiple) locked, cocked, and ready to rock. No other way to do that. I'm not saying that is the way everyone should do it, but if gun safety is ingrained in your methodology, there won't be a problem. I pest in the...

    PCP vs Rimfire

    Wow, interesting thread. I live on a quarter-acre next to a canal in a suburb of Miami. I get around 25 yards in the back yard, and that's what I zero my PCP .22 at. It is illegal to shoot a firearm there. That said, someone has shot CCI Quiet (model 970) subsonics out of my Remington...

    Two records in one day (Video)

    Alligators eating iguanas? Yes please. I didn't know gators had a taste for iguanas. They're laying down on the job, seems like. Nice shooting, my brother. Hope we can get together soon for a shoot!

    Iguana Eradications

    You're doing God's work, brother. There are quite of few of us S. Florida guys down here taking iguana. I've got ~250 to my name. Not as many down here in Cutler Bay as there were. I think further north into Broward and Palm Beach they are denser.

    Airgun 101 - EDgun Leshiy's How to Guide to Backyard Pest Control

     While the damage a specific FPE will do is going to vary little from a smaller squirrel to a larger one, not so with the iguanas I shoot. Those larger ones have a very tough skin that bounces some pellets right off. I have to watch out for the deflection angles. This makes it difficult to...

    Hand pump friendly pcp

    When I got my Hatsan Flash QE .22, I got a Hill MK4 hand pump for it. It has a small-enough reservoir on it, so it "only" took about 150 pumps to take it from 1500 psi to 3000. Not so bad. You do fifty at a time so as not to heat up the pump and in a few minutes, you're there. Oh, did I...

    Feral Cats

    There's a reason this thread is on its third page. My main man Moonshine is a mauser. That's a Maltese/schnauzer mix, hence all terrier. He has an enemies list like Nixon. First among them is the squirrel, with cats being a close second. Anything he growls at is hence a cat or squirrel...

    Hatsan Flash QE @ .22 with JSB 18.13 Domed Diabolos vs. Blackbird at 55 Yards

    I have this exact gun. It's my first PCP. I am having massive success with the JSB Hades. We .22 shooters are lucky we have them. I mostly hunting invasive green iguanas, and to say their skin is tough... Now I get that a couple of layers of feathers are also pretty tough, but I would...

    Butterfly 🦋 @ 124 yards

    Oh, and it is UNCONSCIONABLE that there is talk of killing ANY innocent creature on an airgun forum /hunting section. I shouldn't be subject to this brutality just because I happened to read this on a forum I read every. damn. day. 😂 p.s. Thanks for the SRV!

    Butterfly 🦋 @ 124 yards

    Butterflies being murdered for no reason other than needing a place for pellets to land? OH NOES! I am now triggered and will need to go to a safe space.

    Save Your Money, Scent Control, Camo, and Blinds

    That was an amazing story. Thanks very much for sharing it. What I wouldn't give to spend a few hours with your grandmother beside the fire listening to stories. No doubt you feel the same, of course. I'm just now getting into hunting in my late 50's. I have a great deal of catching up to...

    Hatsan flashpup/flash owners

    Just want to throw in a second for Brothers in Air. Great channel, very informative, and he's done a ton of work on his FlashPup, explaining it all along the way. https://youtu.be/aUy37sglmwI

    [SOLD] *SOLD* - Hill Mk4 Hand Pump

    Hello sports fans. I have a LNIB Hill Mk4 hand pump for sale. I have used it a handful of times, about 150 pumps is all it takes to bring my Hatsan Flash QE back to 200 bar. Always taken slow so as not to heat up, the included lubricant was used as directed. Enough left in the tube for a...

    Tactacam FTS 5.0 Scope Cam System

    Ok, so here I am, minding my own business, and now I have this image seared into my grey matter of one of my airgun shootin' colleagues standing on a grate in NYC getting his hairy unmentionables exposed whilst wearing a skirt. Can't unsee that.
