This .357 Rex pistol was a real hand cannon. Power ranged from ~100fpe down to about 70fpe over 3 to 4 shots, depending on pellet weight. The main drawback was the slow single-shot loading. The mechanism itself cycled very smoothly, though, and it was easy to load the large .357 pellets. The...

The newer Airsaber Elite X2 airbow has two barrels instead of one. It costs about $450 US, compared to the single barrel Airsaber airbow at about $300 US. I think that having a 2nd arrow immediately available is a big deal in a hunting situation. And the $450 cost of the Airsaber Elite X2 is...

We've seen posts on various models of airbows over the years. They seem to take two separate paths of development. There are specialty arrows like the Air Venturi Air bolts designed for use in air rifles of different calibers .357 to .50 cal. with barrels over 21". The main selling point there...

You might also want to have a look at an interesting recent release from FX called the Redback over at Gogun.co (not .com) It's an 8-shot repeating air bow with side lever cocking and 8 Gatling style barrels which rotate into place as the action is cycled. It has the usual FX adjustable power...

There is so much variety currently available in airguns that an airgun might only be considered as a gold standard (= best of breed) within a specific category of airgun types. I've owned 3 L2s. They excel at some things (semi-auto, small when folded, removable magazines, modular design, etc.)...

I'm not personally familiar with any of the folks who work at AoA. But like many people I spent years assisting people who had technical difficulties with equipment which they knew how to use, but not how to troubleshoot or repair. Our Help Desk staff would often cite 'user error' when we...

I'm not an experienced user of FX products, but I've had a couple of FX airguns and see the usual comments about FX on the forums. Just had a quick look at their site: https://fxairguns.com/ Can you list a few currently available FX products that are missing from their web site. Or maybe some...

I've purchased 2 or 3 airguns from Talon Tunes over the years. All 3 airguns came with a test target to indicate grouping. What it means to me is that a small vendor took the time to check and verify the initial quality of the items he sells. Considering how many posts we see from people...

That's certainly one way to look at it. My relatives in NC complain that their neighbors are always shooting across their property by accident and won't stop. They are all armed to the teeth and ready to do battle if someone cuts them off at the gas pump. It makes them all feel much safer...

It is easy to assume that people who like to shoot would already be familiar with the specific quirks of an airgun they borrow. And we all know that detailed procedural instructions aren't always appreciated (by my sons as teenagers) or followed (again with the teenagers), especially when it...

The battle between our desires and the sometimes painful expense of obtaining them probably defines the human dilemma as much as anything. Here's something which people who are starting to collect airguns during their younger salad days might not consider. Once a person has indulged their...

This might be somewhat related to topic, assuming that forgiving to shoot includes and possibly also depends on being comfortable to shoot. When using a scope, I've found that shootability of the gun also depends on having a natural sight-line through the scope as the rifle is brought into...

Companies evolve and different models may have wildly different levels of dependability. I haven't owned an AEA airgun in awhile. I owned 5 of them in different models over several years. Power and relatively compact, great semiauto when it worked. 3 of those eventually stopped working for...

My first PCP was a 0.25 Career 707 Carbine sometime in the late 1990s. Short, unregulated, front heavy due to the double air tubes, multi-shot under lever carbine with an adjustable power wheel. Very loud, too loud with no threaded end cap. It had a stamped scene of some kind on the side panel...
