That's a good point. I was thinking of pesting where the range can vary wildly, but the apparent size of a target is only part of what forms our perception of distance. If one were to judge holdover as a proportion of target size alone, it could be bad to practice on mini targets, but I don't...

I've thought the same thing, but I wonder if the lack of drop could be counterproductive. Either way, trigger control and a steady hold are always good to practice.

I knew I wasn't getting Anschutz, but at $200 I was expecting Gamo or Crosman. I've been waiting most of a month to try this thing out because they sent me the wrong order the first time. They sent me refurbs, a Model 65 and a Model 95. They both felt really nice. I didn't get to shoot them...

Nope, traditional metal spring. I'm wondering if the piston seals might be a problem.

I wonder if he was a handgun or revolver shooter. My only use of arms from about 21 to 46 was practicing with defensive handguns, where a light trigger on a semi-auto is about 6lbs, and on a revolver, about 8-10. I'm used to more in the range of 8 for a pistol and 12lbs for a double-action...

The chicken coop is about 20yds from my back door, and I have a wireless IR camera set up that forewarns me about my target. At such short ranges, I try to minimize my sight-to-bore separation. For rats, I usually use my Crosman Drifter (2289) (open sights). I have it sighted in at 10 yards...

I just received my .22 Mordax Venom Longstrike this week, and ran through my first bottle of air this afternoon. She's a beaut, Clark. By far my loudest airgun without a moderator, and with a DonnyFL Sumo, pleasantly quiet. I haven't given it any distance yet, but judging by this afternoon's...

My Hatsan USA order finally came in this week, and I got to try out my new Model 25 Supertact. Boy is it a turd. 1-in groups at 10yds (rested on the back of a chair), with as much as 50 fps delta with the same pellets. The trigger is... Interesting. Talk about a surprise break... There's a fair...

Hear hear. I've been on the prowl for something convenient and handy, with at least 6fpe muze energy for small pests, and importantly, a very close sight-to-bore distance. I want to be able to take 1-10ft shots confidently, without guessing too much on the hold-over. I have a couple CO2 guns...

I got back into airgunning because of back yard pest issues. My property is in a weird sort of shape, and my longest sight lines are about 30-35 yards. Where I have my "practice range" set up, I have 30yd shot, but I don't leave the chair and table set up there. If I'm just messing around, I sit...

I received 3 airguns this week... Two from Hatsan USA, and one from Airguns of Arizona. I purchased a Mod25 Supertact QE with the intention of making it my small pest dispatcher. It's advertised at 675fps with lead pellets, and I don't have to use up a whole CO2 cartridge, or get out the HOA...

Well it took a little while (partly because I waited about a week to send the bad delivery back), but I got the ones I ordered. They told me they would ship my order as soon as FedEx had the wrong ones. Three days after Hatsan had signed for them, they still hadn't sent mine out so I emailed...

Today was supposed to be new airgun day... I ordered two guns from Hatsan USA... a refurb Zada (price was good so I thought I'd give it a try), and a Model 25 Supertact (relatively high-powered spring pistol with a stock). I was excited to have something new to play with over the holiday...

I grew up waterfowling in the 80s. The only shot I ever used was steel, so the only danger in spitting it out was to my braces. Actually I guess that's more dangerous, cuz my dad would have killed me if I popped them loose!

Ok, I knew about leaded glass windows, lead roofs, and the origin of the word plumbing, lead water pipes. But I never knew we had lead-clad telecom lines.
