    Alternate Special

    Question…what does Alternate Special mean on the Crosman page for ARs. They are considerably less expensive. TIA

    Little table targets

    Finally found a use for those little tables that hold the box off the pizza when delivered. We had a pizza night Saturday and after the cleanup I saw potential targets . I put them out about 30 yards and had some fun repurposing 🤣

    Shoulder Brace

    Just wanted to share my experience with my shoulder therapy. Couple of years ago I injured my shoulder from a fall. I think it is a rotator cuff injury, all I know is it can ache like a son of a gun. I have always been a barrel cocker or a pumper so I thought my shooting days were numbered...

    Riser pr

    Rainy , muddy afternoon. Decided to build a DIY riser. Not the prettiest but it came out perfect for my cheek weld. All total only about $5. Tape, mole skin, and 2 1x4" strips from a camping mat. Stay well all👍

    Back to plnking happily

    Hi all, It's been 2 + years since being able to shoot due to illness. Didn't have enough strength to crank my springers and hold up to aim. Happily that seems to be done with. Here's a picture of my first serious attempt to begin again. .177 are with my old Gamo Silver Shadow 1000. The .22's...

    Sign recycling..

    You know those plasticoat signs popping up in every one's yards now a days? Well once they are done and served their purpose they make excellent target holders . You can staple to them or stick Shoot and See's to them. They have a pretty good life left in the before the dump gets em. How you...

    Tune or not?

    I really like my Nitro Venom .22 gas piston that I've had for a couple of years. I finally figured out how to shoot it well and consistently. This spring I got a Chrono after many years of airgunning without that knowledge. Anyway..my Venom is shooting avg. 740 muzzle velocity in 70-80 degree...

    Got my Chrony, work begins

    I received my Chrony from PA yesterday and finally got a dry spell to check my guns. My Trail .22 isn't too bad with consistent 790's . I did get concerned with my Nitro Venom .22 as my avg. was 691 for the string. Down range it was 595 @ 34 yds.(CPHP's). I think it may be time to reseal. Never...

    Get a Chrony ?

    I've been an AGer for quite a while. I shoot pretty often and really enjoy the hobby and a pretty good Springer shooter. I've even tuned and repaired my guns. My question is....is it really rewarding to get a Chrony and does it make the shooting experience more enjoyable?..I know the advantages...

    Pellets won't fit well

    Forgive me if I'm rehashing an old post but I couldn't find one that addressed this. Anyway.. yesterday I bought some .177 Crosman Piranna's at W/M on a whim. Usually I use CPHD's as my go to pellet. Well the new Piranna's don't fit the bore well at all and they are sooo inaccurate. It's like...

    Cheap spotter telescope

    Back in the shop looking for something to do....found my old Gamo scope 3-9x40 with a broken windage turret. Remembered I had some PVC drain pipe around almost the right id. With the help of some black duct tape and cutting a piece of pipe to get the eye relief. Cobbled it all together and I...

    Nitro Venom Trigger

    I was rumaging around my shop and my AG supplies and found an extra GTRlll trigger that I "over" ordered a few years ago. Anyway ....I am really enjoying my Venom a lot lately so I decided to install the new find. Wow...what a difference. It is so great having a good trigger now. This being...

    Local Walmart redemption

    Hi all... Went to the local Walmart and was pleasantly surprised. After the great Pistolo purge I was feared that it was going anti airgun. Anyway it seems the dept manager is restocking the AG dept and it looks healthier. Lots of ammo and even sore reactive targets. I was so impressed I bought...

    Broken bubble

    Well I put a rail level on my Benji Trail NP .22.. The level was put on to help me overcome my canting errors, and it works. My consistency has improved. Happy me...the problem I have is the bubble seperates after most of the shots and I have to wait for it to "regroup". The level was...

    Monopod?

    Any body have luck with a mono pod? I bought one and tried it from a sitting position on my chair. No so good at all. Couldn't tell where the shots were going. Much better off using knees and elbows. Is there a trick to them? Thanks...

    Nitro Venom Trigger

    After watching some videos on my Nitro Venom .22 trigger, I decided to try the 3mm x 10 mm screw replacement. I am so happy to say it really worked for me. Quite a difference in 2nd stage predictability. 👍

    Confused..

    Ok...from the beginning of my AGing experience I have been "told" the most effective way to shoot a Springer was with some sort of "artillery" hold . I get it and it has worked for me. I was also told bipods were a no go for Springer's. ....My problem is with some videos I've watched of an...

    Basement shooters

    Hi all...too cold today and probably for a week to shoot out side. So it's down to my 36 foot "range". Here's what I shoot. My old 1377 with a Beeman adjustable peep and a modified front sight. What do you all shoot indoors?

    My new shooting station

    Went to Harbor Freight this morning to get the items for my new portable shooting station. I bought the chair and sawhorse on sale and I attached the bag with bungees until I figure out what kind of top on the sawhorse I want. Also picked up a cow bell there for my distance practice. Hope the...

    Hello from Ohio

    Hi all, First post here. Been an AGer for a while. Really enjoy the sport and the Air Gun community, we enjoy something really cool. Tried some distance shooting tonight at 58 yds. Too cold to do much .At least I hit the pie plate. Never shot that far before. I'll get dialed in eventually. 😉
