There's few things in life as quiet as a poisoned prairie dog town.

Another ancedote. The best match day I ever shot........ Being in Colorado, you'd think we shoot in snowstorms often. That's not true. If the forecast on the day prior called for much snow the next, the match was usually cancelled. So, we didn't shoot in snow very often. One day though, snow...

Thank you for the kind welcome. I wish I had stronger credentials to provide, but I am as new to airguns as one can be. Please excuse any questions you, as a group, have answered a hundred times before. The search function, as with most forums, doesn't really work that well. That's why you lean...

Hi. My name is Mike. I'm almost 61 years old and live in Colorado Springs. I'm of late a machinist by trade, though I got into it way late in life. Former Eagle Scout and ex Sgt of US Marines. Lifelong hunter, and shot benchrest competition for a while. I'm getting into airguns kind of late...

I've never lived in the same habitat as chucks, but 4 in a morning seems a stellar score to me. Good shooting!

Wise words. I shot "one shot" centerfire benchrest competition for a while. Not for "group", but honest one shot, closest to center takes the pot. Some of the pots were rather handsome and I supplanted a low paying entry level job for a while with a 30BR. More specifically, we shot for cash...

After a bit more time to delve into that link, I once again wish to thank you for directing me to it. I've been a hunter for over 50 years, and a CF benchrest competitor for 15. I've always thought airguns were "below" my skill level, mostly due to the limited range airguns provided. This is...

Many thanks for that link! Very informative.

New member here, and I probably should't post to this thread....but I can't help it. I was raised in Louisiana but have lived in Colorado for the past 15 years. While I haven't done everything, I've shot bison at 40 yards and prairie dogs at 800. IME, more whitetail are wounded with a .30-30...

Hmmm.....hadn't thought of that. Recoil (as to shoulder pain) in an air gun is negligible. A 75 grain V-Max leaving a 6mm Rem at 3700 fps is pretty much out the barrel (discounting barrel time) and recoil is something that happens after the fact. I'm starting to sort of get that recoil in an...

Thank you. That was very helpful.

Exactly! LOL!

Thanks for the replies! I'm a constant user of google, and it's very helpful in most cases. OTOH, if you don't already have some concept of "ballistic coefficient" or know that it's often referred to simply as BC, google can lead you on some pretty strange goose chases. "You don't know what...

I'm new here, and new to air guns. I'm very experienced with firearms, but it seems air guns and firearms are worlds apart. Anyway, I'm here to learn and doing my best to do so. But, the major roadblock seems to be complete unfamiliarty with airgun terminology and slang. For example, I don't...

Hello, all..... Newbie and first post here. I know very little about airguns, but I do know a little bit about raccoons, having hunted them a bit with an avid 'coon hunter I once knew. I guess I witnessed around 4 dozen meet their maker, and only TWO dropped "dead right there" regardless of...
