Tonight I let two fellow club members fondle and shoot my Pathfinder and Ghost Carbine. Dave the fellow on the right proceeded to send two groups at 50 yards. 1/2” and 3/4” Ghost Carbine shooting JSB Exact Jumbo 18s. He loved the accuracy but felt the gun was heavy. The gentleman (Chris) on the...

I typically plink using holdovers, because its how I go after pests. So it was the way I started using my GPO. I still intend to use holdovers but was enlightened tonight. Who says plinking is just fun foolishness…🤓 Last night while sending pellets after work I decided to dial for elevation to...

My Pathfinder XR is simply astounding to me. My typical shooting setup is bipod front, shoulder as rear bag. The trigger is heavy, but I compensate. The little beast has always been “first shot” accurate. I can simply grab her and no matter how long she’s sat? POA = POI. But must confess she...

Through lots of plinking and target shooting. I have found whenever I have to hold at 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, MILs, etc. That is it easier for me to simply “bracket” the target and then I easily find the .5 MIL mark needed to make the hits. For instance on targets needing 1.5 MILs. I simply bracket...

Was sitting on my back porch after a plinking session with my Pathfinder and simply glassing through my scope. When lo, a woodchuck appears at 60 yards! A known range to me, I pull back on the lever? “No pellets left!” I felt like Elmer Fudd in the Bugs Bunny cartoon. Of course it didn’t stick...

Over the past two outing I’ve bagged 34 pests, a mixe bag of English Sparrows and Starlings. My second outing today was rainy and interupted much by farm workers. But manage to bag 18, 12 sparrows and 6 starlings. I did not recover the majority because it depends on where they land after the...

Took out the Pathfinder for 1-1/2 hours today to try the GPO Centuri Compact on starlings. They decided to cooperate and I was willing. The pictured starling was the first kill. I stopped counting after 12. I killed at least 16 plus 2 sparrows. All shots from 25-40 yards. The face of that barn...

I was wanting a little more magnification in the same form factor as my WestHunter 3-12x44 for my Pathfinder. And had been looking hard at the Athlon Helos BTR G2, 2-12×42 AHMR2 FFP IR MIL scope. The length, weight, and max 12x magnification was keeping me at bay. Helos BTR GEN2 2-12x42 FFP...

Got up at 6:00 am today and while having my coffee, decided to take out my Atomic XR and Ghost Carbine. I am not a bench rest or target shooter. Only shoot targets to confirm Zero and then on to plinking and pesting. 3/4” target dots at 30 yards. Shooting off a rickety, small coffee table. Bipod...

Went down to my permission today, but the action was very slow and so was I. Anyway these unlucky three presented for the “thwack!” The JSB Exact Jumbo 18s simply devastate them at 30 yards… My Pathfinder strikes a sweet balance between my Atomics and Ghost Carbine. Currently its the one I reach...

I found the leak but cannot figure out how to fix it. It is leaking out of the hole above the bottle gauge. I looked at the schematic at the BRK site but it doesn’t reference that hole at all. Suggestions welcomed and highly appreciated …🙏

Took the picture five at 35-40 yards, sending JSB Exact Jumbo 18s. At those ranges simply wreckage. The one miss? It took off as I sent the pellet…👿 Was there for a brief hour as I was on “honey do” time…🙈

Many, myself included have found the benefits of going towards smaller, lighter compact PCPs. I can actually take mine out in the field without a porter…🙈 Useful indoors and outdoors, easy to manipulate in tight spaces and capable to 50+ yards on small critters. At home I have the benefit of...

Took my Atomic XR with Zulus atop to my local permission to see what I might. There were definitely starlings there and I bagged the twice pictured seven but didn’t bother to recover the others. I like the Zulus, but miss many opportunities when trying to decide to record or not. Going forward...

This post was inspired by the @Billm thread on the Ghost vs. the Sonoran. Mine is not a versus thing per say as the features of the Ghost as far as power and versatility via barrel and caliber changes are not available on the Pathfinder XR. So there is no comparison there. But then again I am...

Stupidly cold but I had to send a few pellets. 22 degrees, varying wind at 12 mph, from left to right, right to left and head on. Bipod front and my shoulder as the rear bag.The first group of five. I sent when the wind ceased or slowed down. The second was a 7 shot group. I sent the additional...

Pulled her out the safe after work and sent this 5 shot group at 30 yards. Bipod front, shoulder as rear bag, scope at 12x with reticle illuminated. 32 degrees, wind at 5 mph, quartering from behind my left shoulder. Couldn’t send more as it was then too dark. My Pathfinder has always been...

I was clearing gutters and blowing leaves for most of the day. Finished about 3:15 pm. Then decided to plink black walnut husks with my Ghost from 25 to 64 yards. Then I sat back to enjoy a brew and a smoke and to overwatch my yard. I heard this little fellow first, then spotted it with it my...

The red squirrels have been getting too comfortable stashing nuts under my porch bench. They are too fast for my old Jack Russell. So the Pathfinder was called to duty. I really do try and refrain from shooting critters in my backyard but these four had it coming. All kills at 40 yards sending...

Am trying to decide which of these pellets I’m going to use on my next pesting excursion. The group on the right JSB Exact Jumbo Express 14.35s. The group on the left JSB Hades 15.89s, as you can see the Hades grouped really well. These groups are casually sent bipod front, shoulder as rear bag...
