    Tactacam Customer Service

    I had issue with my Tacatacm 4.0 not working properly. I emailed them and received a response within 2 hours. They recommended I try a new micro sd card and now it's working great. Thank you Tactacam for such speedy response. Other manufacturers could take a lesson on customer service from you.

    Trouble with the Tactacam

    I have a Tactacam 4.0 with the FTS I haven't used in a couple years. Taking it out, it was till 3/4 charged and I topped it off. The camera came on as soon as I installed the battery and started recording, but it won't pause or shut off. I removed the micro sd card and reformatted it. I...

    1st Squirrel of the Season

    After too many unsuccessful hunting trips, I finally saw some squirrels. Turns out all I had to do was hunt the same preserve, but on the other side of the road. I found an area with minimal underbrush and as I scouted, I heard 2 squirrels communicating. I was slowly moving closer when 1 of...

    AOA Please Lose the Drop Down Menu

    That drop down menu is a real pain. Everytime I try to navigate your site, that darn thing drops and covers my view. Lose it please!

    Tuning Daystate Regal XL

    While replacing the seals in my Regal, a small pin fell out of the trigger assembly. I can't get it in as the hole won't line up. Is there a way I can install it without further disassembly? I fear if I take it apart, it I'll never get it back together.

    I need help

    We're in upstate Montana visiting our daughter and the neighbor has a huge problem with ground squirrels. I have never hunted them before so I could use some help. First, the conditions. The area is flat unmowed grassland. The mounds are everywhere. Along the drive, in the drive, and of...

    Tuning Regal XL Leaking

    I have an older Daystate Regal XL that will leak all it's air overnight. I don't have the time to fix it myself, plus all my tools are a 1,000 miles away in a storage unit. I'm looking for a well known, qualified and trusted airgun tuner to repair it. All suggestions are welcome, thanks in...

    Is this Normal?

    I shot my HW100BP-K today for the first time in two months and the accuracy was horrible. I'm talking 1" to 2" groups at 48 yards with it's favorite Polymag Shorts, JSB 8.44s, and CPUM 10.5s in that order. The 12.5g NSAs shot a bit better, but nothing like they usually do. I was shooting from...

    Cabela's Covenant Tactical SFP Rifle Scope - 4x16x44mm

    Anyone have experience with this line of optics? How do they hold up in the field?

    Help Needed with Brocock Contour S6

    I went to shoot today and found the Contour out of air. I suspect a slow leak so I replaced the O-rings around the fill probe and now it won't go back together. The first picture shows the gap I'm getting when I tighten it down. The second picture is the metal gasket I replaced that when out...

    OUCH! I knocked my gun off the bench.

    We finally have a day with winds under 10 mph and I sighted in my HW100BP-K with the .177 Polymag shorts. After zeroing in at 20 yards I went out to set the target at 50 when I knocked it off the bench and onto the garage floor. I almost cried. An inspection revealed a very small maring...

    Objective Lens Threads

    Are the threads on the objective lens universal? Reason I ask, I just purchased a new Barra scope with a 50mm objective lens and would like to install a sunshade on it. I checked the manufacturer's website and they don't offer sunshades.

    Searching for my next scope. Suggestions?

    18x magnification max. I have no need for anything greater as the farthest I shoot is 50 yards. 6x magnification minimum. 6x is what I hunt squirrels with. Second Focal Plane. I need to be able to see the reticle at lower magnification (6x) while hunting in the woods. Mildot...

    Slugs louder than Pellets?

    I've been testing the .177 12.5g NSA slugs in my 17fpe HW100BP-K. They definitely make tighter groups in wind at 48 yards than the Polymags (most accurate in my gun) What I have noticed, and so did my friend, is the slugs are much louder leaving the muzzle than pellets. Polymags are...

    SFP Question

    While out hunting I spotted a squirrel in a tree but only it's head was showing. I have the 3-12x32 Bugbuster set at 6x with a zero at 30 yards. I zoomed to 12x to get a more precise shot, but the squirrel took off before I could take the shot. I know that if a SFP scope is zeroed in at say...

    Question about the SWFA SS 6x42 Scope

    Although it's been on back order since covid struck, I'm looking at the SWFA SS 6x42 as I think it would make a good squirrel hunting scope for my Daystate Regal. Being left handed, I can't reach a side focus and keep proper eye relief so the rear focus is huge for me. Currently I'm using a...

    Trouble with accuracy

    This is my scenario; I have a Daystate Regal XL that shoots JSB 15.89s and Hades equally well. Both can print 1/2" groups at 40 yards from the bench. Last week I shot about 20-25 NSA .217/20.2gr. slugs out it. They shot fairly well at 40 yards. On that same day I went back to the JSB 15.89s...

    Scopes for Southpaws

    Being left handed I have found it difficult to adjust the parallax while in the field. Even on a short bullpup I can't reach the knob while the gun is shouldered, and spending time fiddling with it can be the difference between bringing home dinner or not. I've been looking at the SWFA line as...

    Kudos to Utah Airguns

    I placed only my second order with UA online last night and then another member here text me they have the .177 Hades in stock. A quick call this morning and they not only combined the order, but it has already shipped! That is fast service in a time when sales are up and things are busy...

    AOA & Specifications

    First I'd like to say I've purchased 4 PCPs from AOA and their service is second to none. I wouldn't hesitate to buy anything from them. However, the specifications on their site for the guns is lacking to say the least. Why, like other sites can't they list the FPS for a specific pellet...
