New to Forum

I am new to the forum but not air rifles. I have many gas piston & springers in addition to several PCPs (.22 cal Daystate Huntsman Revere & Red Wolf HP, .22 cal FX Maverick Sniper, .22 cal Huben K1 2021).

Yep, I too have been invaded by squirrels, but the good news is I am winning. I have taught 67 of the limb rats to play dead since April of this year. Just got another one of these this morning. He was on the ground at a MTC ranged 62 yards. It was my first kill with the Huben. I just got it a few days ago. The regulator is set to 150 BAR and the power wheel adjusted to a muzzle velocity of 994 fps using JSB Monsters. LOL, I clean & boil until tender then de-bone & add white rice. I then reduce the temp & cook until the rice is done. I haven't read on AGN what I then do. I refrigerate the squirrel & rice and spoon it over my dog's dry food.YUM!

Good morning and welcome to our wonderful forum. You will love it here. There are lots of interesting people that are always willing to share info and help you spend your money.

LOL I am good at spending money on air rifles. I have the addiction.

@squirrel_getter Ummmm, well damn!! Judging from the photo, I’m not sure if the Doberman is really ready to wait around for you to cook those squirrels. I thought you were going to say you eat them yourself.

Welcome aboard. I look forward to more of your pesting tales. I’m sure you’ll find plenty of info as you’re sucked into the whirlwind of spending on accessories, modifications, ammo, and guns that accompanies this hobby. AGN has plenty of knowledgeable members, airgunsmiths, dealers, and airgun enthusiasts. Search the forums and you will see. One other thing, beware of the classifieds section. They may leave wanting for more on a daily basis especially if you’re an impulsive buyer.

Thanks. I have been lurking and reading for a while. Yep, I have more accessories than you can shake a stick at.

I have just harvested another one. He was hunched up on a pecan limb at 47 yards eating a pecan. He too is playing dead!

Yeah my dobie goes into squirrel hunting mode the moment I pick up an air rifle.

Good that you could join us. Looks like you have already found the money pit so you need little help there. It's a wonderful life we live on the dark side so enjoy the hobby/addiction. Evil critters are food for people or dogs it seems. Don't be letting them take over the world now. ;^)

That’s a quite the tally of tree rats! You had me salivating till the dog food part, your dog sure eats good!

Welcome aboard! Airguns & squirrel thwapping seem to be synonymous! I've always wanted to try a Huben. Very unique design & hard hitting, accurate guns from what I've read & seen. Enjoy your journey here!
