AOA has .177 and .25 cal back in stock. Atlas Airguns is another great place to purchase air rifles & accessories from.
Other airguns to consider are the Weihrauch HW100 or HW110. Mine is a HW110 in .177, gives me 40 shots per fill at 19FPE. Those two groups are 10 shot groups at 20yds, with...
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing yal.
Danman, I like the competition you have going with your brother, as competitions keep things exciting! I wish we can create something of a sort within the airgun community, I think that would be fun, just not sure how dedicated hunters would be or how...
Do any of you keep track of the animal species you have taken with an airgun or am I the only crazy one?
If you do keep track, please share your hit list. I'm curious what other hunters have taken.
I have two lists going, an in-state list and an out-of-state list. I can't be the only crazy...
Thanks! I am now one of the host for the Airgun Only Adventures YT channel, so my personal channel has taken a back seat.
Sadly, that day was my first time out hunting with the Zulus and I fumbled trying to push the right button to record. I guess I was taking pictures instead of recording so...
If you are going to take big game hunting with airguns serious, consider a HP .45 caliber as they hit with authority. I like the Western Rattler .45 Std. Check out how far that 360 solid slug traveled through the deer at 50 yds:

If you are still wondering, check out my reply to Ezana4CE's "Who is Deer Hunting with an Airgun This Season?" thread.
From my experience and testing, a .30 caliber 80FPE+ will get the job done out to 50-60 yds with a perfect headshot only (with higher FPE, I'm sure a well placed vitals shot...
How fun! The Ghost carbine is my favorite version of the Ghost. I have taken many critters with it, the biggest being rock chucks aka yellow-bellied marmots. Mine is a .177 (sub-20FPE) with a couple of additions:
- Form grip and cheek rest (AMAZING addition)
- BRK short moderator
- Trigger work...
Yes, I have harvested a few deer with airguns. I have also taken friends and my oldest son out as well. We have used:
- .30 caliber
- .35 caliber
- .45 caliber
- arrow with a fixed blade broadhead
Distances have ranged from 20-99yds.
I have been most confident with the Western Rattler .45...
Oh my heavens! I added a lot more information to my initial post but somehow it was not saved and did not send… well, that’s not fun. Let me try again:
Benefits from hunting off a feeder are:
Learning to differentiate hog and deer tracks
Clearer shooting lanes for a more ethical shot
Safer to...
I second what was said by Grunt64. For a new hunter (or even for a veteran) hunting off a blind/feeder is safer and can be very effective. Spot and stalk can bare fruit as well but requires a lot more 'know how'. An exemplar spot and stalk hunter is Dana from Mountain Sport Airguns, which I see...
Kind of late to the party here but I've harvested three turkey now and have gone out with others to hunt them with airguns as well. I use my AAA Evol .30, and hunting turkey with airguns can be very tricky.
For a head shot, timing is everything. That golf ball size head moves A LOT, best is to...
Great shooting! Have you considered purchasing a small charging battery pack, charging cable, and finding a creative way to attach the battery to your gun/stock? I do a lot of filming while I hunt and such items have become MUST HAVES when I head out. I have a friend in TX that designed a "sock"...
Here are a few things to consider, coming from an ex-avid predator hunter:
- Consider the time of year. During mating season, coyotes will be more responsive to other coyote calls and can completely ignore prey calls as they only have one thing in mind... to mate. A female coyote call or a male...
