    PCP Rifles for 100 Yards+

    I've been shooting my rifles anywhere from 15 yards, out to 50 yards. I use my DAISY AVANTI .177 for the 15 yard range, and generally hit the black of the 10 meter target size every time. I'm not that good. I get most of my groups to about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. I use my Hammerli 850 Air Magnum...

    Cleaning and Lubing Your Rifle

     I am wondering what you out there think is the best product for cleaning your rifle bore. I see lots of cleaning rods that are in sections, and have one of those. The problem is that the rifling in the bore tends to make the cleaning rod unscrew.. I tried purchasing a rid that was one...

    Reading Pressure Gauges on your Tanks, Compressors and Rifles.

    I got my Yong Heng Compressor yesterday, and got it all ready for today. I am currently filling an empty 74 cubic foot tank, and have yet to get it to the green after two 10 minute sessions. Why 10 minutes? I am worried about the heat building up, and causing damage. I know the instruction...

    Are there High Pressure PCP Foot Pumps

    I am wondering if there are high pressure foot pumps for PCP air rifles? The reason is that I am not really that strong in the upper body, but I do have some pretty strong legs. Another reason is I am going on 70 years, and just do not have the oompf that I had when I was younger. If not foot...

    Umarex Gauntlet .25

    I recently purchased the Umarex Gauntlet .25, and a 74 cu ft air tank. Unfortunately for me I am now stranded due to my car being hit by a driver running a red light. I cannot travel the 200 mile round trip to get the air tank filled. This means all I am able to do is look at this rifle and...

    UMAREX Compensator - Is it Safe to Use

    I thought the title item might be neat on my Hammerli 850 Air Magnum CO2 Rifle, but I am wondering just how safe it is. I purchased this item because It looked neat, and it said that it extended the rifle barrel. Or I think that is what it said. But upon receiving and looking at it...

    Having a Ball at the Shooting Range

    I'm not sure anyone has done a continuing topic, or if it is allowed, but I thought I would talk about my adventures at the local public shooting range (Hi-Desert Rod and Gun Club).. Today I went without my Daisy Avanti 753 10 meter air rifle. Instead, I took along my new acquisition, a...

    [NLA] Swiss Arms TG-1 .177 Air Rifle

    I have Swiss Arms TG-1 .177 Air Rifle that I cannot use because when I purchased it, I did not know that high FPS (1400) springer rifles are harder to cock. I found I could only manage to cock this rifle once or twice before my arthritic fingers and wrists started hurting, and basically, even...

    Long Range Air Rifle for Target Shooting

    I was wondering if there are any air rifles with enough ooompf to reach 100 yards for target shooting. I have one limitation, and that is that I cannot cock a break barrel. I just don't have the strength, and I have arthritis in my right hand. That basically leaves, I believe, PCP and CO2...

    Located a Firing Range that Accepts Airgun Owners

    I am super happy. I've been trying to find a real shooting range for about a month. My first inquiry to a local range produced no reply from my email. But today, I wrote the President of the High Desert Rod and Gun Club, that have facilities just down the Morongo grade from Yucca Valley...

    Need Help Finding the Right Air Rifle for Target Practice

    First of all, I made a big mistake when I purchased a Swiss Air TG-1 Break Barrel Rifle. I tried tonight to cock the thing, and finally got it to click on the fourth try. This tells me I am not strong enough to continuously have to cock and load one of these break barrel rifles. So I need to...

    Problems Squeezing the Trigger

    I decided to purchase a cheapie air pistol at WalMarty. It is a Corossman CR357. It shoots both BB's and .177 pellets. I'd had it in the box for three weeks or so while I recovered from open heart surgery. But today I finally did what I wanted to do, and went out into the back yard with my...

    My Rifle is on the Way; How to Build a short Back Yard Target Range, and Other

    My el Cheapo Swiss Arms TG-1 is supposed to arrive this Monday. EDITED: It was outside my front door. The stuff is here. I pretty much purchased everything needed, including safety and gun maintenance stuff. But I have a long way to go before I can ever pull the trigger. One of those is...

    California and Air Compressors for PCP Airguns

    I keep trying to learn about Air Rifles, particularly those that require recharging. I came across a California 2009 law that basically prohibits individuals from recharging their own PCP airguns with an air compressor. It seems that in its infinite wisdom, only commercial businesses are...
