    A classic Airgun story

    Many years ago, long before something called Covid, or the word pandemic became popular. There was a place called the yellow forum. . I used to post a lot, much more than recently. I also did a lot of stock work, and posted the results. I was contacted by another member of the yellow forum...

    Penny and the Jets score one this afternoon after a horrendously long day of work

    We didn’t actually get out for a walk until 4 o’clock, which is so ridiculous it was beautiful here this afternoon. 27 and sunny. I was walking along with my head down trying not to fall down in the ruts of snow that had frozen over since yesterday. And trying to shake off my day of work. I...

    40 years ago I found the perfect 17 caliber hunting pellet…40 years later I discovered my Bowkett carbine loves them, first two 🐿 kills

    Serendipity is a wonderful thing when it happens. As I mentioned in the title, 40 years ago there was a pellet shaped like a rocket ship, turned on a lathe for perfection… able to kill an African antelope at 40 yards, by dispatching it through the eye. The accuracy and penetration were reputed...

    Penny treed a squirrel today for the first time in weeks. They’re pretty much all dead. 5 degrees and very windy, I went 0 for 5…

    I was shooting the 25 mini rifle. It’s absolutely deadly. But it was so windy, and big gusts. Penny kept waiting for it to fall, I did too. Lol. I would guess he was 80 to 90 feet up in the tree flattened against the side trying to keep his body away from me. I missed him on both sides. It was...

    My last group ever with an air arms pro elite 177, I think the new owner will be smiling.

    This one sold yesterday, I talked the new owner into having me put the Bushnell tactical on top for him and site it in. Probably just wanted to shoot it one more time. I cited it in, shot a group in the snow across the creek, they all seemed to go in one hole @ 65 yds. 10.3 jsb So I came...

    Now open to offers…More Springers that exist in there for sale right here.

    All of these have been in my collection for many years. It’s time to move some iron and wood. For me to own a rifle for years it needs to be pretty darn special. If it’s not it gets sold. Payment is postal money order, or PayPal friends and family, unless we arrange something different. The...

    Most dogs will try to chase a squirrel 🐿…

    Today Penny caught her first one. She amazes me each and every day. It was a big huge gigantic male fox squirrel. She doesn’t mess around. I’m trailing about 75 yards behind her which is normal these days because we have huge snow. Plus she just bolts, she goes hunting, and I am for the most...

    Going LONG with the D Wolf …my first group to check zero @ 275 No silver dollar! But very close

    I have not had the big gun out and gone long since late last winter. It was zero outside yesterday , and it was time to get things rolling. I grabbed my 25D wolf, and a box of slugs. And got ready to do a lot of walking in the cold. First trip out was just plain cardboard backing. I set it up...

    I’m looking for a lower shot count, less velocity, less weight, and better looks!

    This is my latest attempt, I am now out of pistols to convert. Or I should say willing to convert. At less than 5 pounds scoped, it is absolutely wonderful to carry. Mike

    Checking the zero on the new Dakota’mini sniper this morning, this guy decided to silhouette himself, bad move.

    I was checking my close zero, to see how much Under I was hitting on very short shots. I look up, and this guy is climbing up on this stump across the creek, 52 yards lasered. The scope was set on 2X, because I was doing close practice, I didn’t even think about it, I put it right on his neck...

    First blood with the new ‘Dakota’mini sniper build - I wouldn’t have a chance without Penny!

    Today was the first day above freezing in a long time. I expected some activity. That said, most of the squirrels are now dead. Penny took off running about 100 yards in front of me and signals she has a squirrel in the tree. So I started running. A good foot of loose snow doesn’t make it very...

    This is what and Airgun should look like and weigh…IMO, what do you think? I just added pictures that show the process if you’re interested.

    It weighs around 6 pounds scoped. I made it for myself for Christmas. It’s a true Frankenstein. Thoughts 💭? Opinions? Mike

    So we went for a walk with the new 17 mini sniper, first blood with the new furniture I love the grain on this stock.

    I decided the 17 needed it’s own stock, here is the result. Went for a walk with Penny after retrieving my squirrel shot from the window, we had a very good result. I love the grain on the stock. Penny has gotten very good at treeing the squirrels for me. She ran ahead, ran this guy right up...

    Conditions were perfect, I had to take the shot, Penny was so underwhelmed…

    I woke up this morning, walked by the window, and saw this guy sitting perfectly on the cut off trunk 92 yards from my window. As I slowly open the window, Penny looked over from her bed very unimpressed. She used to get excited when I shot out the window, not anymore. A week ago I took a...

    Penny now has me Completely trained in her squirrel hunting technique Much to my delight

    This is becoming so fun. Between the chipmunks this summer and last fall, the pheasant hunting, and now the squirrels. I need to keep her close pheasant hunting. I need to keep her close chipmunk 🐿 hunting. She finally taught me this week that I need to let her range squirrel hunting. She...
