    Didn't look like much to get excited about tbh Seems a bit pricey for what it is too

    Is this hobby is worst than drugs??

    Airguns are absolutely worse than the fentanyl + xylazine + nitazine cocktail taking over much of our country right now. Just go to Kensington Ave, North Philly. These people would be in real trouble if they were shooting airguns in their backyards instead of shooting up on the sidewalk.

    AEA 7000 psi compressor. ??

    Mostly scary. Doesn't seem necessary to me considering what they can do with 4500 psi already.

    AEA 7000 psi compressor. ??

    AEA is apparently coming out with some airguns that take a 7000 psi fill as well.

    How much rubber mulch to stop pellets?

    I do the same thing but I have concrete patio slabs lining the back. It's been hit with up to .457 @ 200 fpe with no issues.

    Truth in advertising (137 years ago)

    If you aim the gun upwards at a 45 degree angle, does that 1000 feet include the arc of the shot, or are we talking distance as the crow flies? Cool ad :cool:

    Gauntlet SL30 vs JTS Aircuda Max.30 cal

    64 grain Griffin cup base slugs are the money shot with these guns There are others that do well, too. But I would start with that and then look at Griffin boat tail slugs (they are heavier but also shoot well). As for the guy above who says "these are breaking", I'm sorry you have had that...

    AEA AEA Challenger Pro Power Upgrades

    I have one in 30 ... unfortunately I changed the spring a few times and now have no idea if the "high power" or regular spring is in there. I never really noticed much of a difference in power except the heavy spring seemed to waste air. So I think it's the regular spring I'm using now. I'm...

    Eat what you kill?

    I much prefer to eat meat from the local farms but I've done enough pesting to know my target shooting skills do apply in those situations just as well. Now I don't even shoot pests, I find other non-lethal ways to move them along and away from my garden. I have a chipmunk that digs holes next...

    Evanix Should EVANIX Bring Back FULL-AUTO Rifles? (New Models)

    Some of us are touchy because our rights have already been infringed by unconstitutional regulations. I like where you were going with your imagination there, but I would be the exception, I suppose. Not into passing my wife around and I take so many supplements & work out to the extent my T is...

    Evanix Should EVANIX Bring Back FULL-AUTO Rifles? (New Models)

    Get rid of the Alphabet org should be the goal, whose role is to infringe our rights that Shall Not Be. Until then I don't want airguns classified in the same category because they figure out that some of them have some similar capabilities. And if you have not noticed, there is a surplus of morons on...

    Other Moderators and Accuracy?

    I never noticed a difference in accuracy with various Donny, Buckrail and Lethal Air donkey shlongs. I have noticed the POI can change a little, which is strange and I don't think it's due to the weight (because I have barrel bands and other reasons). But a couple clicks on the scope and it's...

    Massachusetts Newbie

    The 413 is the "real" Massachusetts ... cool place to grow up but I had to GTFO of there and move south during the covid crap. Haven't really looked back since.. and this is coming from a guy that used to religiously ski at least 35 days a year Anyway that 200 yard range in Greenfield sounds...

    Anyone else spent way too much money on this hobby?

    Gold is good. I prefer silver for various reasons. Cryptos are where I've made the most profits on investment and we should be having a great late 24 into early 25 when it comes to that. BTW that second picture, in the palm of your hand. Are you sure you didn't pick that up off the street...

    Anyone else spent way too much money on this hobby?

    I shoot AEA, Umarex, Kral, Hatsan and stuff like that. So, maybe. But probably it could be a lot worse (or better, however you look at it). One day I would like to have something like an FX Crown in beautiful wood stock. But I am not lacking on options and calibers. They all shoot straight...

    Compressor comparison?

    Not sure if this helps but I have an Omega Trail Charger that has gone the distance and doesn't look ready to quit any time soon. If I had to buy another compressor it would be a GX4 just based on it being a similar but perhaps improved design over what I've already found to be a work horse...

    Unwlecome pellet sorting

    Did you notice if the bad pellets were all obviously so (like in the pic), or if the "good ones" also needed to be sorted? Honest question. But for me this falls into the category of "lesson learned, move on". Crossman and Gamo pellets are pretty well available and consistent.

    Unwlecome pellet sorting

    Just curious what it cost you before making a big stink over it? ;)
