I casted this brain from a 110ish pound pig I killed with the an air saber. As you can see there is nothing behind the ear canal. The brain sits just over the eye and goes back to even with the ear hole.
He’s exactly right, between the eye and ear. A pellet in the ear hole itself will kill a pig but your room for error is very little because you are aiming at the very edge of the target. Aiming between the eye and ear gives you a little room if the shot is not exact. Aiming at the ear hole only...
I do use the .50 some but prefer the Air Saber. There are states where one or the other is not legal. For instance in Maine I had use the .50 for bears but in Oklahoma I could only use the Air Saber for deer and not the .50.
The head being raised IMO is the biggest down fall of guys shooting air guns. I get told all the time I hit it right between the eyes and it got up and ran off. A pellet hitting wet bone at any angle at all will NOT transfer its energy effectively. Solid lead projectiles will “glide” for the...
I didn’t realize YouTube videos post this way I do apologize but here are two videos that I made that I think will help with hogs and hunting them with airguns. More coming on the baiting.
I live in TEXAS and I hunt anywhere I can. 8 years ago I bought a Gauntlet in .25 and didn’t really shoot it or care to. Then as soon as the Air Saber came out I got one. That’s when I really started with airguns. I’ve only taken a handful of critters since then without an airgun. I’ve hunted...
Answering this peaked my curiosity. Of course we are dealing with averages here and buying in small packs vs bulk, but it seems very close to a wash with the 12 gram vs 88 gram. Likely within 1 cent per shot if my quick research and math are correct.
I’ve put dimes, I’ve put 2 dimes, I’ve tried all manner of things with no consistent success until I just unscrewed the whole tube threw it as far as I could and screwed on an 88 gram bottle and never looked back. I shoot mine nightly now at rats and I can’t tell you how much better it is. Gets...
