    A Living Room Pellet Trap

    I shoot in my basement several times a week, with an AV-46m pistol and an HW30s rifle (both .177). My trap is a Do-All. You'd have to measure to be sure, but in a curio cabinet, or like pictured above, I think the trap would fit. A piece of cardboard across the front of the trap reduces...

    Back to some offhand practice

    I only shoot off hand and would be VERY happy if my shots were as close as yours...and I only shoot at 10 meters! It's been decades since I could expect anything close to your first pic. Good shooting! :-)

    Finding a range & range rules

    ^^^^^^^^ This...... If no official chamber flag is available, a simple brightly colored zip tie works as well.

    What Attracts You To Airguns?

    1. I can shoot air guns in my 50' basement range. 2. Trigger time is trigger time, regardless of it being air or powder. 3. I also shoot powder burner pistols and rifles in various disciplines from 50' to 200 yards. See #2. :-)

    What is your most MEMORABLE single shot?

    About 20 years ago. Daisy break barrel pellet rifle (I don't recall the model number but it was a very low cost rifle.) Bright sunny but very cold winter day, after an ice storm the night before. Sitting on my deck with a friend. We were shooting at icicles hanging on a tree about 20 yards...

    Airgun Retreat/Hangout /Mancave

    Very nice! Enjoy that space. My man cave in our basement includes a 50 foot pellet gun range so I can also enjoy some shooting regardless of the outside weather.

    Who Is Getting A New Airgun For Christmas?

    Well, not a Christmas gift, but a birthday gift earlier in December. Birthday and Christmas have always been "mixed" for me. It's a good excuse to go a bit overboard with the excuse that it is for both days. lol...

    🔴 If you had to choose just ONE caliber — Which one would it be? WHY?

    .177...that's all I have, and have ever had...it does all that I have ever wanted or needed it to do...

    Does anyone shoot 10M pistol?

    I shoot 10m air pistol (and rifle) with a bunch of guys at our local clubs. My pistol is a Daisy 747 and on my best days can get into the low 90's (those days are rare!) so it is certainly accurate enough for my needs. As my arthritic fingers, especially trigger finger, don't always function...

    Daisy 747 bolt issue?

    Thank, Phil. Yes, I've read that as well. I tried it and it still occasionally fired when closing the bolt. Same as my method. Either way no harm done... however... The manual for the 747 actually says open bolt, pump, load pellet, close bolt. I tried that and when the bolt was closed the...

    Daisy 747 bolt issue?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but here it is. My Daisy 747 has sometimes been releasing the trigger (sear?) when I close the bolt, so when I close the pump lever there is no resistance and therefore it is not pumping. It does not happen every time. This is the process I use to load...

    What Was Your First Pellet Rifle?

    First pellet rifle was a Daisy 1150. First BB rifle was a Daisy model 25 received for my 9th birthday in 1962. Both are still in my possession and fully functional.

    Offhand Shooting Journal: Part 1 - Baseline

    Not boring at all, to me. :-) I find 10 meter air rifle targets more than challenging enough shooting off hand. Plus, I don't have a place to shoot 25 yards unless I go to one of the local ranges. In that case I shoot powder burners.

    Tuning GAMO Whisper Fusion Mach 1 trigger screw replacement

    Rather than the M2.5-45×8 screw that is most commonly noted for this fix, I used a M2.5-45×10 screw. The 8 was barely longer, if at all, than the original so I went with the 10 and it did reduce the trigger pull significantly. I don't have a trigger gauge here so can't specify the original...

    New GAMO Whisper Fusion Mach 1

    Agree on the 7.4 pellets. Those are really consistent and accurate in all of my air guns. I emailed Crosman about the 7.9's not fitting into my guns and they responded that they "only guarantee our pellets will fit in our guns". I have an old Chinese B3 air rifle from Cummins Tool company...

    New GAMO Whisper Fusion Mach 1

    Arrived today. First impressions: 1. I was surprised at how hard it is to cock compared to my HW30s and other break barrels. I'm sure I will get used to it but was just surprised. 2. Whoever decide to call it "Whisper" should really be fired from GAMO and banned from ever working in the air...

    What was your first ever air rifle?

    Daisy model 25 BB rifle. Got it for Christmas in 1962 just a couple of weeks after my 9th birthday. My Dad built me a BB trap so I could shoot in the back yard and not have to worry about BBs bouncing round and breaking windows (or worse!). Angled plywood backstop with sand in the bottom to...
