    Cant say I have an obsession with them, but do love restoring old axes. Amazes me how many (at least in my family) were hung improperly using nails, screws and whatever else was laying around.

    I don't like these skunks either

    Perhaps...haha But with skunks it's simply a matter of logic. Their eyesight is poor. By talking to them, you arent startling them further when caged. But we've all heard the saying that 'music soothes the savage beast'. Perhaps there is something to that. At least in my experience the...

    I don't like these skunks either

    If you must keep the food source there, then live catch it in a trap. Go out, cover with a blanket. Dont try to sneak up on it. Their eyesight isnt great, but their hearing is excellent. Just talk as you go up to it, gently put a blanket or towel over the live catch cage and relocate it. I've...

    Moderator approval for a basic post response to another members post?

    I had similar before, twice actually, and it was a random (and benign) word that tripped the algorithm. Mods squared it away in short order.

    257 vs 25

    I have a tricked out Condor with a Nobel valve in .257. It's a shooter, but at least for me...it lost appeal quickly. I'd wanted a .257 for years and had built up another one that I sold. I took this one in a trade with the idea of doing long range shooting. I still dont think I've taken it...

    Opinions and Observations

    Airgunners have a lot more choices now than what they did back when I started. The cheaper PCP's back then was either a QB or Crosman conversion or the Techstar which at one point had gone on sale at $199 at Compasseco. The choices now are mind boggling. I wont even get into airing them up...

    Let’s see them work benches

    Interesting... I have the same router sled (from Crafted Elements, I think) and I use it to flatten boards. Never thought to place it in a 'box' for 3D work such as with stocks. Can you give a little insight as to how you hold a work piece in the box to form?

    Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

    I didnt even see that, when I Googled 'P force' it came up with the 'blue pill alternative' I referenced above. Will let them deal with any name conflicts!

    Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

    Haahahhaa.... So the slogan for the airguns can be 'we get a RISE out of the competition' 'Dont let a soft barrel slow you down' I can come up with many more, but dont want to get my 'p' slapped here. thanks for the chuckle

    Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

    Speaking of... not sure how much 'pull', I would have, but I can at least go to them with recommendations. So what all would you want to to see next from them? My initial thought was something like the M60. Someone earlier had mentioned a pistol. What say the fine folks here on AGN (and the...

    Has any one take a deer or something with an AGT Netvor?

    Same. I was excited when it came out, but the lack of 'real' reviews has kept my wallet closed. ...well, that and the hard to swallow price.

    Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

    I guess the P-Force name stuck. Pinty reached out to me to let me know they have read this thread and are going to use the name. I suggested that their entire lineup be called 'P-Force' with different designations for the various offerings 'P-Force Tactical', 'P-Force Bullpup' etc. They...

    Other AirForce Knockoff First Look + Other Pinty Guns

    I've heard that there will be a new offering from Pinty in the coming months. I've no clue what, but I do have my preference. Will wait and see!
