    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    Received the monthly pellet/ slug replenish from pyramid. Nothing all to exciting but makes me happy still the same. The cool thing is even though I shoot a lot I don't stress over the cost. I love the practicality and relative affordability of air gunning. Ammo price I mean. We all know how the...

    Feel sick and happy at the same time?

    Sick yep. Just as has been mentioned I get a little bit woozy at the thoughts of groceries and gas stations. I am just a little terrified over taxes this year. Tomorrow is the appointment with the accountant and I am sweating bullets. I let my side business go quiet this year so my deductions...

    Other Cocking lever location

    On my quest for the next air gun acquisition, I am all excited on the rifle until I realize the cocking lever is next to the butt pad on the rear of the gun stock. Disappointed, I move on in my search. You see, though having not shot a rifle so equipped I am nervous it would be cumbersome for me...

    Introduction - New to PCP after 40+ years with Pew Pews

    Your story is very similar to my journey into pcp rifle shooting. I truly love my springer air rifles but I was looking for some better training on trigger, and breathing form for the "pew pew" long range season. And like has been said, air gunning may not be cheaper in the long run, it is an...

    Other Where do all the old air guns go to die?

    So there is the truth of it, and my answer as well. I am off to the local gun show today in the hopes of finding my "knitting needle in a haystack". Some hobbies are a little more effort challenged then others. 😣 It beats staying home and doing housework!

    Other Where do all the old air guns go to die?

    I am a collector, builder and just straight up crazy tinker. I have a passion to create something from stuff that others have lost interest in or discarded, even past functioning (broken). I can find many a springer but not finding any pcp's. Are there not as many out there in the wild to be...

    Other Old newby.

    Though I have been immersed in air gunning for close to 50 years, I only took the step into pcp a year ago. I am finding it is a different animal all together,... in a good way. More paraphernalia, more tunable and for me fiddly. Which is a good thing, it keeps me interested. I do find I am...

    What did you do airgun related today.

    Nothing exiting for me other than its not snowing for the moment. Went and dug a couple targets out of the snow in the back yard so I can get back to shooting. I am ready for some warmer weather soon I hope.

    N/A Umarex Zelos V Air Venturi Avenge-X Tactical

    I have been shooting a .22 Zelos since they hit the market. I have no complaints, though only 1000 rounds down range currently. Better than average accuracy, not picky with pellet selection and even shoots slugs well. Big plus for me, very little plastic!

    Who's willing to play - you can only keep ONE......

    Hmm, not sure I would want to play for real but it does make me think. It would be my first quality springer, a first year Beman R1. I saved for a year to buy it and shot the heck outta her. never gave me any problems, even after tearing down and learning how to tune. Just like family, always...

    Are we having fun yet?

    I am very competitive. Especially with myself. I am an avid archer, and try to get some form of practice in several times a week if not daily. I have realized that the harder I push for a decent score, the stress level goes up as well as the frustration. hence. I stop enjoying what I am doing...

    What would you like to buy new in 2025

    I am fairly new to the pcp game, so I am tumbling down the rabbit hole trying as many different rifles as peak my interest. Not at all sure what I will end up acquiring, but I am sure something will be added to the air gun stable. Some things just can't be helped! Maybe I am the only one with...
