    Maverick 22 Fx Hybrid vs JSB Knockout slug diameters

    Hey fellow airgunners! It's been a while since I've been able to do much shooting. I picked up a used Maverick 22 Sniper a few months back, and am finally getting around to setting it up. Initially, I want to shoot lighter slugs in it, so i am sticking with the Superior STX barrel that came with...

    Beware the Ides of March!

    If you're a beaver, that is. A friend had some more beavers move in recently and start flooding the back yard along the creek. This happens a couple of times a year, as the creek is full of beavers along its entire length. Late winter/early spring is the time many beavers and recently evicted...

    If Beaver Photos Are Your Thing...

    Once again I was tasked with removing some beavers that were flooding a friend's property. The farmer next door wasn't too happy either, when he saw his equipment in a foot of standing water. Stopped by yesterday to break apart the dam and get the water draining. Late this afternoon I ripped out...

    Red Light District

    Okay, now that I have your attention, let me tell you how I used my new mini-lathe to solve an airgun problem. I hunt at night on occasion, and sometimes I don't want to use my ATN X-Sight II equipped rifle. I had picked up a couple of those scope-mounted LED lights. One in green and one in red...

    Leave it to Beaver...

    To catch a 25 caliber JSB King Heavy MKII using nothing but his head! Got rid of a pesky beaver on a friend's property. This makes six beavers in just under two months. Three the first time, then a pair that moved in a month later. Finally, two weeks ago this batchelor moved in. He was the...

    Why I started using a desiccant filter, and why you should too.

    Up until recently, I had been content using a homemade air dryer to dry my first-stage air before it went into my Shoebox F10 booster pump, and then again between the Shoebox and the SCBA tank. My air dryer is a bucket of ice/water with the air lines under water, and a bleed valve...

    Hatsan Bullboss 25 and beavers

    Weekend before last, I hunted beavers for the first time. An acquaintance had flooding issues on their property due to the beavers damming up the creek, and asked for my help. I did some studying online, rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I busted up the dam enough to get the water draining...

    Houston, we have a problem...

    I have had a Hatsan Hercules in 45 cal for two years now. I planned on using it for deer or hog hunting, if the chance arose. I tried out several different bullets, but nothing seemed to be able to hold a decent group. I like to think I am a capable enough shooter, as I get decent groups with...

    Feedback jld1969 (John) was a great seller to deal with

    I purchased a Crown Power Mod from John. He was quick to respond to messages, and quick to drop the item in the mail and provide a tracking number. Simple and straightforward, like it should be. He contributed to the great reputation this forum holds.

    What is up with Shoebox Compressors?

    Does anybody know if Shoebox Compressors is still operating? I ordered a F10 about a month and a half ago. Sent in the required authorization paperwork. After about ten days, I emailed them to enquire about the status of my order. The next day, I was checking my bank account, and noticed they...

    Does anybody carry this part on this side of the pond?

    Hey fellow airgunners! Hope you all had a great weekend. I though I would end mine with some shooting, as soon as I put in the replacement burst disc on my Yong Heng. Well, it is still bleeding by! A little closer inspection than the last time, and I discovered the ring that retains the burst...

    Feedback trey10130 great to trade with

    Responded to a WTT ad by trey10130. He was quick to respond, and we worked out a mutually beneficial trade. He mailed the items quickly, and packed them like I did my item, to survive the Apocalypse! Deal with confidence with him. James

    Twins Separated at Birth?

    Okay, I have met some pretty cool fellow airgunners on this forum, and sometimes I even end up chatting on the phone with some. I didn't expect my newest hobby to lead to new friends on the other side of the country. Anyways, Bigragu is one of these new friends. I was so stoked when he got his...

    Wildcat Mk II 30 cal observations and a question

    Now that hunting season is over, I decided to get some range time in today with the new Wildcat. I had it zeroed at 50 yards previously, so I was surprised when my first shot went low. So did the next five shots. I grabbed the chrony, and found it was shooting 150 fps slower than last time I...

    Any Regulated Bullboss Rifles Out There?

    A question for my fellow Hatsan Bullboss owners: Have any of you installed a Huma (or other) regulator? What kind of results and improvements have you seen? Enquiring minds want to know! Now that raccoon season is winding down, I'm thinking about some off-season improvements and plinking fun...

    Huben K1 .25 cal First Impressions

    Well, fellow airgunners, it has taken me long enough, but I finally took the Huben K1 .25 cal out for some range time today. I haven't ordered any slugs yet, but I hope to real soon. (Looking at you, Nielsen Specialty Ammo) Anyways, I ended up taking today off to run errands and drop off a...

    Wildcat Mk II 30 Caliber Second Impressions

    Well, the rain finally left around lunchtime, so I put down the chainsaw and picked up the Wildcat again. This time the chronograph remembered to come along for the ride! Shot count looks to be around 37 or so before it falls off the regulator, which I'm guessing to be set around 135 to 140 Bar...

    Wildcat Mk II 30 Caliber First Impressions

    Thanks to Christmas, it took me just over a week to finally get my new Wildcat 30 cal out to the range and try it out. I mounted a Hawke Sidewinder 6-24x scope with FX No Limit rings,and used the rings to get close to zero at 50 yards. I then used the turrets to finish zeroing. I shot seven...

    Bullboss Clip Holder

    Hello, my fellow airgunners! Just wanted to share my impressions of a clip holder I recently installed on my Hatsan Bullboss 25. I use my Bullboss primarily to hunt raccoons at night. Being safety minded always, but even more so when shooting at night, I used to carry my clips in my pockets...

    First Impressions of Seek Thermal RevealPro

    I thought I would share my first impressions with you regarding the Seek Thermal RevealPro thermal imager. I enjoy small game hunting, and have been looking for a solution to two problems. As anybody who hunts squirrels can attest, they are hard to pick out when they are in a tree and not...
