My own property, or part of it, is the airgun range. For PB shooting I go to a designated firearms range even though legally I can shoot those here also. I don't want to add that level of noise around us. Airguns are much quieter. We moved to rural property to have space away from neighbors--AND...

Thread title is misleading, though the first post makes it clear the subject is PCP airguns specifically. I bought a cheap multi pump rifle (gateway drug...) in spring 2023, loved that enough to buy a not-so-cheap single-pump pistol half a year later, and then bought a used classic multipump...

Recently I shot the P3 at a suspended string of two soup cans and one pellet tin hung vertically from a branch about 75' away. I could hear the metal being hit and see movement, but TBH I don't know which of those items it hit. They'd already been shot numerous times with a rifle before that. I...

My P3's rear sight also sometimes moves, as if an invisible hand turned the screw a bit. I memorized its correct position for my usual shooting distance and check it each time I shoot. It does seem stable until after I have shot it more times in a session. The good part is that I can use my...

If you haven't been shooting offhand much, that's got to be the only reason for the difference. I've shot mostly without external support, especially the last few months. But it is not at paper bulls, although it is from farther away. If the pellet hit on the tin but not real close to POA, it...

ThomasT, Some company could market such a versatile gun model under the Chameleon name. The scope looks ginormous next to the gun!

Thank you. It didn't occur to me that trigger finger placement might play a role in the biases. I think this is a big factor with my PB (harder trigger pull), but it is something for me to watch for in the next practice with the air pistol, too. I do love the trigger on the P3. I have not...

I wanted to work on correcting the tendency of RH shots to hit to the left of POA and of LH shots to hit to the right of POA, which was clear in the previous photo (as well as something I had noticed for a long time). I shot two of these targets today, same details as before, including...

ThomasT, thank you for making so many different targets available for us to print, at no charge. The Big Bang Pellet Trap is GREAT, too. Mine gets used frequently and is holding up well after many thousands of pellets.

I really didn’t know that “offhand” meant no support at all. I thought it meant no support from bags, truck bed rails, tripods, etc. All is well. The target is nice because it is so easy to see not only from 15’ but also easily twice that.

The P1 is PCP?

I didn’t know the difference between offhand and freehand. I will continue to practice with a support hand because the gun’s grip is a bit large for my hand, but I won’t bother posting results here.

My first try at this target. I shot it outdoors instead of indoors, and at 17’ from target to muzzle. Also, I did 5 shots with the RH shooting and then 5 shots with the LH shooting—but supported by the other hand in all cases. Photo below marks RH and LH shots. My longstanding tendency for RH...

I plan to carry a P3 for impromptu target practice (dead trees/branches) and possible pesting on our property. After searching in vain for a holster, it turns out that an old fanny pack’s main compartment fits it with a litrle room to spare, and a thin pellet container could fit in the pocket...

Right-handed and right-eye-dominant. I keep both eyes open for shooting. I shoot pistols both LH and RH but rifle is too awkward, so only RH for that. When I did a lot of photography, I focused using my left eye on the viewfinder. I practice both sides as much as possible in all sports that...

The state designated one public, free gun range about 1.5 hr drive from my home. I visited it without gun to check it out. The site is nice, but I don’t go there because there are so many numbskulls with poor impulse control and/or bad judgment running around this area. A neighbor invited us to...

Thank you for posting this. Also thanks to the OP for adding the thread on this nearly universal topic. Both my eyes have cataracts and some degree of astigmatism, with the right (dominant) eye being worse in both respects. But it varies. My eye doc said it’s best to wait till vision degrades...

Yeah. I occasionally get tempted to buy some of the Firebird capsules to shoot, to deter deer. Then I think how someone might think I am shooting a firearm and report it as unsafe shooting because they don’t see a bona fide shooting range.

As has been urged many times already, look up your local ordinances. If any are ambiguous and you really, really want to shoot out your window, ask an attorney and spell it out that the gun is an air gun, not a firearm. Some states categorize air guns as being firearms, so check on this. Even...

RWS Superdomes are pretty good and cost less than the FTT or R10 pellets, all three of which I like.
