    Airforce Talon P Carbine .25

    How is it hold sensitive? I thought they were super robust and I don't remember reading that before but my interest in AF is pretty recent so I might have missed that. I'm slowly coming around to the single shot idea...

    Pest Thwarted

    Don't feel bad. They aren't as beneficial as people think. They don't really control ticks like people claim. The study that claimed that showed they had the largest amount of ticks in their stomachs compared to raccoons, skunks, etc. That led to the researchers extrapolating how many they would...

    Squirrel hunting gun recommendations (sorry)

    The Avenger is great for the money. It definitely needs (IMO) a barrel band(preferably 2, or just a wide one that can lock the tubes in place) in addition to the original. I used 2 because I'm kinda rough on stuff. I spent too long grabbing my old Marlin .22 by the barrel and running out the...

    Invincible Fox Squirrel

    Them suckers are tough, age it for a week in the fridge and then cook him low and slow.

    Squirrel hunting gun recommendations (sorry)

    As a fellow Illannoyed citizen I will say I've received "stuff" directly from some sources while others required an FFL(think about ordering from the SW USA as opposed to somewhere to the east of us). I have a Notos, a .25cal Avenger, and a .22cal BRK Sniper XR. If the Sniper were a .25 it...

    Perfect shot! How's the P35 treating you?

    Items Lost, Broken, or Malfunctioned Afield - Airguns and Accessories

    @Ezana4CE - was that an Uncle Mike's or an off brand sling stud? You have me suspiciously eyeing my slings. And just a thought for flip-cap scope cover users. In the motorcycle world we often use hairspray to keep grips from rotating once mounted(it also helps to slide them on). Just spray the...

    N/A Favorite pcp air gun for survival off grid bugout ?

    I'd choose a Quackenbush .458 Outlaw and a hand pump, shoot a deer and call it good....

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    I know it's not what you're looking for but your statement is correct - not enough pictures So here's what lipstick on a pig looks like.... Definitely nicer than the original and I really like the camo/not camo look

    What did you order / receive airgun related today? Thread

    If UPS can get up my icy driveway I should be getting a restock on ammo and a laminated stock for my Avenger. Lipstick on a pig but I couldn't resist.

    Mountain top hunting from AR

    That looks like tough terrain to hike while hunting! It also looks like a great hunting location. My wife grew up there and always tells me that I'd love to hunt the Ozarks.

    How cold is to cold?

    Hahaha. I shot one once with my old Daisy 10 pump inside my log cabin. I didn't shoot my eye out but can tell you a lung shot flying squirrel can cover a lot of "ground" before it expires. Made a bloody mess! 🤣 In this particular case I got lucky and herded the cat into the bathroom. When he...

    How cold is to cold?

    We have snow right now so they are easy to spot. Tracking and shooting at 50yds is a different story. They don't stop long in this cold.
