    Press the Button

    @michael Thank you for the pinned post about trigger and breathing technique. In 40 years of PB's, I never had to think or work this hard for accuracy (Gamo break barrel). When I read the line "Press the Button" and then implementing it, my groups tightened up by a 0.25". Additionally, I...

    Best Site to buy pellets in bulk?

    I was searching for websites that sell pellets in bulk, almost whole sale. Does anyone know of a site that does this? (For example, XYZ Brand ships 50 tins in a box. 20 boxes on a pallet. I'd like to buy a box of 50 tins.) https://www.hiarts.store - I literally found this site 30 minutes...

    Wish I had gotten back into Airguns years ago...

    Sooooo, I love the pistol brace revolution that's happened in the Powder Burner world. Not wanting to start a discussion on that topic, just prelude to this. Long to short of it, I settled on a good package: PC Charger, with brace, and Holosun on top, out the door $1100, and I haggled in 100...

    Dude Day

    Me, my 4.5 yo son and his 10 yo cousin had a dude day today. Dave & Buster's, lunch, R/C boats in the pond, Legos, toy car racing, bikes, pedal carts, and of course, some trigger time for the boys. Darn, I'm tired...

    NOOB Pellet Accuracy Question

    To get back into the sport, I bought THE most inexpensive .177 break-barrel Gamo makes 12/2021 (and a 1377), and I like it a lot. Bug Buster on top, finally got it settled in, no scope creep from recoil. Zeroed at 25 yds using Crosman 10.5g Dome. (Yes, a PCP bundle, and then a Weihrauch are...

    Good Morning. How'd you do?

    Good morning!!! Not a squirrel in sight this morning. I do like to use the time, while scanning, to kind of 'think' and find some inner peace before my day actually begins. How'd y'all do? Best of luck Kim

    Squirrel Travel Distance & Calls

    In my mind, I drempt 20 squirrels would be fighting over peanuts at my feeder this morning. Not so much. The birds like the unshelled peanuts, too. I had more bird action at the feeder than squirrels. One nutter was climbing the tree trunk, smoked him. The other was up in a limb. I...

    Break Barrel and Benchrest Shooting to Zero Scope

    I try to rest the stock where I'd place my off hand, military hold, and the butt on a sand bag. To allow the gun to shoot as accurately as it can, How much tension should I be applying? From cheek weld, to trigger hand grip, shouldering the butt stock, and off hand on butt stock, etc? Should...

    Break Barrel Vibration Dampening

    I grew up playing tennis. Late 80s, "vibration dampeners" hit the market. Basically nice Rubber bands that slid between strings, and truly absorbed vibration after hitting the ball. I've wrapped a piece of rehabilitation/exercise band around the barrel, mid-way, 5-7 laps with a basic square...

    GAMO SAT CAT Adjustment and POI

    I replaced the M2.5x6 with a 10mm. Before doing this, my $100 Black Knight was "zeroed". Two days of non usage. Only change was trigger screw. Took it out today. Trigger is much better, BUT the POI at 25 yds had risen almost a foot. And gone right 4 inches. Would a trigger adjustment on a...

    Parallax, 5 to 25 yards, and POA vs POI

    My scope is zeroed at 25 yards, AO set at 25 yards. AO adjustable increments, 5yd-25yd-INF. If left as is, and I aim at a 8yd target, POA bullseye, POI should be low, correct? If I adjust AO to 8 yds, should this compensate for the low impact and hit bullseye, OR does this only allow for...

    Can't Keep Mounts Tight

    Newbie here. Ex-USN. Shot 9mm and 5.56 all my life. Had a multi-pump as a kid in Indiana. Bought Gamo Black Knight. First springer ever owned. Added Centerpoint High Mount 1" rings/dovetail with stop pin, and UTG Bug Buster with AO. Never in my life have I had a scope dislodge itself like...
