    100 yards and beyond…?

    I love my airguns for the practical to me, sub 60 yards pesting/plinking opportunities I may encounter… That said, I understand that there are a select few, who through due diligence and many, many rounds downrange. May achieve consistent 5 shot, 1 MOA groups at 100 yards, whether with pellets...

    Brocock/BRK Atomic XR Super Sweet Plinker…

    This particular Atomic is sporting an UTG OP3 Micro SLS and a forward pistol grip. Did some plinking at 25 yards and 50 yards and then decided to move the objects out to 54 yards. Sending CPHPs… All shots kneeling, forward pistol grip resting on table. Hit, hit, miss, hit, hit… etc. Simply some...

    Rat Table Pays Off…

    Still need to refine the setup a bit and reposition the table. But was able to take these two tonight. The rats knew I was there because there was an unexpected by me, backlighting situation. Anyway stayed only an hour, as it was a long workday and I got cold. And like I mention I need to refind...

    Setup my Table for Rats…

    My seup for the upcoming weeks’ attempt on rats. This station is only 15 yards away from the pictured kill zones. Have had great success with a similar setup in the past. Atomic XR, TP on low, with Zulus atop sending CPHPs. Am hoping to record some of the action. Confirmed my 15 and 25 yard POI...

    Culling Starlings with my Pathfinder…

    Shot and killed 10 starlings today, but could only recover the pictured six and the lone sparrow… All shots at 30 yards, sending CPHPs, TP on low for just under 20 FPE at the muzzle… They simply crumple when hit center mass…

    To newbie, would be ratters…

    Yes, you can go whole hog… Or you can simply attach a red or green light, to the accurate rig of your choice and have at it. The majority of rats, will never know the difference. You will eventually “evolve” your setup, or not. Because if it works? Why spend more? For me the major downside to...

    JSB Jumbo 18s and CPHPs at 25 yards…

    This post was inspired by this one… My pellet problem… Pathfinder XR .22, three, 5 shot groups, casually and quickly sent after work. Bipod front, shoulder as rear bag. The CPHPs were sent with the TP on low. The JSBs were sent with the TP on high. Wind was at 10 mph, gusting to 25 mph as per...

    Brocock/BRK My Second Atomic XR Ratter, a duel of brethren…🙈

    My five shot group this evening, confirming zero for some nighttime ratting. Argos HMR 2-12x44 with a simple red light attached. Also did some indoor shooting at 8-10 yards to confirm holdovers at those distances… I currently have a Zulus atop my primary Atomic, but the fact is the vast...

    Backyard Pesting Dilemma…

    The same pest birds, English house sparrows and starlings that I kill without mercy at my permissions. I have a hard time culling out in my backyard. Here’s the gist, I have five different suet cake stations. Two at 15 yards, two at 35 yards and one at 53 yards. These past few days because of...

    Pathfinder First Kills of the year…

    My Pathfinder heard about the Atomics’ double kill and wanted to get some: All shots at 30 yards. The chickens pecked the crap out of one starling and made off with a sparrow… There were lots of them pest birds, but I was short of time. I will be punishing them going forwards…

    Atomic XR First “double” of the year…

    Went on a little scouting mission, the place was loaded with starlings, but I couldn’t get at them like I wanted to. While the Arken Zulus has been great for nighttime ratting and some overwatch pesting. It severely lacking for me in fast action situations… Am going back, but with my Pathfinder XR…🤓

    Brocock/BRK BRK Goodness…

    Had a short plinking session with my Pathfinder XR in my backyard today wind at 9 mph with gusts to 21 mph. Simply amazed at the hits and near misses on wine corks cut in half. Shooting at 25, 40 and 50 yards. Connecting while holding over and holding off for wind is satisfying. The near misses...

    Brocock/BRK BRK Pathfinder XR…🙈

    This PCP is simply blowing my mind, I’ve been lucky to have contrasted it to my Atomic prior to receiving a Ghost Carbine. I had a big scope on the Pathfinder which made it unwieldy. Once I downsized that scope? The gun simply shoned, light in weight, but outsized in utility with at least twice...

    Umarex Is Your Notos Upgraded or Out the Box?

    I’ve read with mucho interest the great reviews and reception the airgunning community has given the Notos. At its price point and performance level OTB its seems a definite winner. It has become a modders delight and all types of iterations keep popping up. I recently inquired in one of the...

    Dead Red #2 Pathfinder XR

    50 yards, Pathfinder XR sending CPHPs, TP on low. This is my second red squirrel at this spot, the first I shot on the ground below the hole. This one happened to poke through at a most unfortunate time for itself…. Shot it saw the hit as it collapsed into the barn. Waited five minutes and found...

    Brocock/BRK Pathfinder XR an under appreciated gem…

    When I first received my Ghost Carbine, for a while I thought my Pathfinder was in jeopardy of being sold. Then I downsized the scope and fell in love again. The Pathfinder is but a smaller Commander or Sniper XR. With the TP on low, sending CPHPs, it has been stellar from 25 to 64 yards. Sure...

    N/A Average Distance of your shooting sessions?

    Threads like this always get me to wondering as to why some buy “airguns” to try to consistently and practically shoot at 100 yards. Unless you’re putting in lots of time and effort and equipment prep. Or are a competitive shooter with great equipment? Your on a wild goose chase…...

    A tale of two Kills… Atomic/Pathfinder💥

    In my backyard I am reluctant to pick winners and losers. I have a lot of squirrels, both grays and reds. The majority get a pass from me because they stay away from the barn. The pictured little guy is responsible for the hole above it to the left. It was shot at 52 yards, Pathfinder with WHT...

    Brocock/BRK Atomic, Ghost and Pathfinder XRs… a

    I had a sweet, nighttime plinking session with my Atomic. Followed by a sweet session the next day with my Pathfinder XR. Which prompted this post… When I first received my Ghost Carbine, for a while it felt like the Pathfinder was in jeopardy. After downsizing the scope on the Pathfinder the...

    Brocock/BRK My Viscious Atomic XR…

    This little PCP has won my heart over by performing consistently on pests and targets. Hundreds of pests down, and counting… It’s understood it’s not a benchrest shooter. But the accuracy still leaves me flabbergasted…🙈 My reason for this post? Just finished a casual nighttime plinking session...
