    Slowing down

    Hi All Since I've been absent for some time now I thought I would post an update for those wondering. I'm slowing down on air gun shooting and focusing on trap shooting primarily now. Several things have left a bad taste in my mouth with airgun shooting of late that I do not experience in trap...

    WTS: Thomas rifle for sale

    I'm selling my Thomas BR 0.177cal air rifle. Why? Because I'm slowing down my involvement with air gun shooting and want to go to a single gun "that can do it all". Obviously a dedicated benchrest design doesn't fit that. The rifle is less than one year old and has about 5000 rounds through it...

    Why not turning?

    As recent posts have noted what many have known for a long time, pellets are inconsistent to say the least. I know there is a small part of the market that really wants high quality pellets that are consistent in shape, size, hardness and weight. So just wondering why no know has stepped up to...

    EBR registration open

    It's been open for registration for a week or so now, but haven't seen anything posted, so thought I would spread the word. http://www.extremebenchrest.com/ Looks like they didn't take my suggestion... double the prize pool, lol! Rules look pretty much unchanged from last year.

    Any value in having a ShotKam on a AG?

    So I've been shooting a lot of trap recently and plan to buy a ShotKam this month. From what I've heard they are a pretty cool customer friendly company willing to help meet its customers needs even if unconventional. If you're not sure what this is, Google and YouTube are your friends... I'm...

    Any value to our disciplines? ShotKam

    Now that I'm also getting into trap shooting, I stumbled on a great tool for clay shooters https://shotkam.com/ Briefly it mounts under the barrel and is adjusted for POA. It's motion activated, so for example on a break barrel shoot gun when you close the action it starts recording. It...

    WTS -- Sightron SSIII 10-50x60 Scope

    Hi All I have a fairly new Sightron 10-50x60 LRIRSIL for sale. I have had this scope since about October and am happy with it other than the reticle. I'm a benchrest shooter and the center dot is just too big for my taste. The scope is in perfect working order, no marks or blemishes. Please...

    Interesting blog entry on pellets

    On the AoA blog (https://www.airgunsofarizona.com/blog/) One of the notes is the rebranding of pellets. I know from own experience that this is true. For example the best pellet in my RAW BM500x 30cal is the FX Boss 46gr, which are manufactured by JSB and if you get to weighing them you'll note...

    Quick and dirty bag rider

    So I had a need but didn't want to spend a lot of money... The need: I have a Ruger 10/22 with a Magpul stock, which has a rounded fore end, which makes use on a rest VERY challenging as it rocks side to side and tends to slide a little with each rocking motion. Eventually I will get a proper...

    Thomas owners -- question on cleaning

    Hi All I have a Thomas BR with a LW polygon barrel. The club I shot at has several Thomas owners. It seems like most of them are cleaning after every card they shot and are getting some pretty black patches out with a little WD-40 on them. But what I have noticed at first running a lightly...

    Looking forward to the new year! -- Goals thread

    My gear list is nearing being complete. I'm shooting well and getting better every time. Getting a feel for the wind with airguns. So I thought it would be a good idea of setting some goals, without regard to just how realistic they may be. Feel free to add yours as well, then of course we can...

    Impressions of the Hawke Sidewinder 8-32x56

    I picked up a Hawke Sidewinder 8-32x56 with the 20x 1/2 MIL dot reticle (http://www.hawkeoptics.com/sidewinder-8-32x56-20x-mil-dot.html) from opticsplanet a couple of weeks ago when they had a 20% off on Hawke scopes, so a $500 scope for $400. I specifically wanted with for my 25m/50y BR gun, a...

I had not listed a color preference, "just ship the next one that is ready", it turned out to be red. Shipping via FedEx, signature required Shipped in a mid/low grade hard case inside a...
