If I could do it over

[Dogowski]

If I could do it over again I wouldn’t buy most of the stuff I bought and sold. I would’ve been fine with a Talon p, Condor SS and a talon ss. All simple guns that don’t cost an arm and leg with lifetime warranty. None are regulated and all are low pressure. Yes they’re single shot but that’s all you get hunting anyway. Remember this is for my life style this may not work for everyone. Did I mention 3 o rings?

When crap hits the fan, these will be reliably working without failure!

I would have bought a Bauer or similar, instead of all the other compressors. I don't think I push the limits, but sure do seems to have some bad luck.

I should have listened.....I'd have more room and less hassle.

Not necessarily Bauer although they’re literally the best there is but OMEGA COMPRESSORS work well with a good backing

Hardcore single shot fan here. Whether it's field target or silhouettes (both on timers) or prairie dogs, heck, even pest birds at the dairy (hundreds of shots in a couple hours), I will ALWAYS choose single shot. And do.

The only use I can rationalize for magazines would be a speed event like at EBR/RMAC.

Problem with magazines is that they need loaded. One of the reason I went away from magazines in air guns is that I was spending more time loading mags then I was spending shooting.

Grew up with a single shot H&R break action Handi Rifle in .223. Make the first shot count.

Well, there's always the option to stockpile mags, load a bunch before shooting, and use those for the day. That's what I like to do with CO2 guns.

It’s all a preference thing. Before we had mags, or even pcp’s, the single shot was it. It made the style of shooting different. It forced you to think and rethink your shot before taking it. While I prefer magazines myself, they do give you a little more confidence that if your first shot doesn’t quite humanely kill the quarry, a follow up shot is simpler.
The semi auto guys will go a step further and have even quicker follow up shots, and that was a big seller for those too. Guns are progressing to make the shooter “better” but know in the ways you think. We can be lazier with our shot placement, and still not worry about humane kills.
That’s my 2 cents anyway.

Trigger time is the best way to make a shooter better, varying target distance will help in hunting situations as we know that our quarry will not be at exact range for our comfortable dime size groups. So practice and practice more. Single shot or magazine fed makes no difference in making a humane kill
