The starlings and rats are avoiding my backyard like the plague!! Just made a minor adjustment to the trigger on my Notos and found some ancient Gamo lead free pellets to try out-860 from the muzzle as apposed to 770 for the cphp's i've been using but the accuracy is nothing to write home about...
I checked my velocities with the Notos when it gets below the reg setting and they drop like a rock...doesn't take long for it to go from the 770's to 500 with cphp's
I haven't had much experience hunting with my airguns yet. At least not with the recently acquired PCP's. My Notos should be fine for the majority of my backyard pesting since the range will be most likely only 10 to 15 yards. However when the range gets extended and the wind comes up, my Flash...
I can hardly wait for the starlings to rediscover the berry crop from all the ivy around my place. The Notos seems almost purpose built for the shooting from my back deck.
Until the wife loosens the purse strings, I can only daydream about owning an EVOL. All I can offer are my condolences and the hope that the repair will be easier than anticipated.
The first variable power scope I got was a FFP....not that I knew there were any other kind. This was a Weaver 2.5 to 8 power and the adjustment was on the rear mount so external. Suffice it to say, old...dates back to the early 60's. Anyway, the cross hairs were so fine at 2.5 that they were...
Unfortunately, my squirrel setup looks just like my rat setup... neither of which are being harvested.... my wife loves the bushy tailed rodents and forbids their taking!!!

Mainly, I plink and pest. Mostly with the Notos I just received and the Hatsan Flash QE .25 I got a few years ago. Once in awhile I'll drag out the Beman C1 .177 that I got in the early 80's if there's a rat under the bird feeder and neither of the pcp's are immediately available. I've...
I'm Mike Brown and I've been reading and responding to topics now for months without introducing myself. Old, retired and getting reacquainted with my airguns and trying to learn a few new things in the process. I'm definitely appreciative for the opportunity.
I'm not very finicky....from the Crosman V350 that I got for my 13th birthday to the Notos that arrived a couple weeks ago after my 74th b-day, I've enjoyed and not been disappointed by any of them. There have been break barrel, multi pump, gas rams and single stroke pneumatics in between and...
I have .177 .22 and .25 now. I love the power available with the .25 but don't appreciate having to order the ammo...local shops carry a lot off .177 and .22 so easier and cheaper to shoot. My old, arthritic fingers have a hard time handling the tiny .177 pellets so by default, I guess .22 is...
As far back as I can remember, guns have been my passion. Used to loan my fielders glove to a friend of mine so I could barrow his Red Ryder. That worked until my 13th b-day when I got my Crosman V350 air rifle. A couple years later I bought a Benjamin 312 and then graduated to powder burners...
Bought my first pcp about 4 years ago from PA but went the cheap route for a pump from Amazon. Got a cheap hand pump for less than $50 but soon discovered it was more of a workout than I had bargained for. Managed it for the first year and a half or so but being over 70 and not in great shape, I...
