A couple days ago I got a GX CS2. I bought it from GX and used their 10% off code to get it for about $250. I like filling from my bottle which I fill using my Yong Heng. But it won't last forever and isn't very portable. I've taken the bottle to the range but it's pretty big. Anyway, I am...

I did a little test this afternoon of penetration versus velocity using my Prod. I shot at old scraps of 22 gauge steel roofing. Projectiles were 14.66 grain H&N pellets and 14.3 grain Crosman pellets. The gun started off shooting at 680 fps and zipped right through at 30 yards. At 561 fps...

I filed my taxes today and as a reward to myself I ordered a GX CS2. I am not getting money back, I am paying, but I've been looking at the GX line and decided the CS2 best fits my needs. My main way to fill my airguns will remain my Yong Heng filling my 6.8 liter bottle but that doesn't give...

I got a shipment of H&N slugs today from Pyramyd with Amazon as the shipper. It was the cheapest shipping option so I gave it a try. The slugs were packed the normal Pyramyd way with foam squares and double boxed and are pristine. I think the issue I've had with ordering pellets from Amazon...

I bought a Teslong NGT100 boroscope months ago and just got around to using it today. The head is about 5mm in diameter and easily fits into a 22 caliber or larger barrel. I have some mirror heads for it but I haven't used them yet. I often get frustrated with things like this and it happened...

I just finished my new brick column to support my pellet trap(s) at 30 yards from my shooting bench. I carefully used my steel measuring tape to locate 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, and almost 35 yards from my shooting bench a couple years ago. I put a 12 inch square paver at all but 25 and 35 yards and...

Target Forge did a YouTube where he modified a GX CS2 to run on Dewalt 18V batteries. You can also just buy one set up for Makita batteries. You can even get an adapter and use DeWalt or Milwaukee batteries in it. But what if you prefer the longer running more powerful GX CS4? Seems like...

The weather is nasty here today so no target shooting for me. I decided instead to test the penetration of a couple slugs my guns like. My Caiman X likes 21 grain H&N slugs and is tuned to shoot them about 920 fps. My P35-177 shoots 12.5 grain Nielsen slugs pretty well. It is tuned to shoot...

I got 5 squirrels in November then 6 in December then none in January. So I was happy to get this 18 ounce male this morning. Double lung through shot with my P35-177 using 10.6 grain H&N Baracuda Match pellets that leave the barrel at 880 fps. It was sitting up on a limb eating an acorn. It...

I have 6 pcps and 5 of them came with plastic stocks. My Avenger was my second pcp and the cheapest at $300. My third was my first bullpup and that was also the configuration of the next 3. I made wood stocks for the Prod and P35s first because I use them a lot more. But I finally got around...

I am in favor of most of our new president's actions but I wonder what impact tariffs on China will have. My favorite P35s easily fit under the now former $800 limit for application of the former tariff. Now I've heard that has gone away. Our less expensive guns and compressers come from...

I have scientifically determined that a 21 grain slug does a better job exploding a can of beer than a 10.6 grain pellet. Both were going about 900 fps at the muzzle. Photo evidence is attached. Exit first, then entrance side.

I got a 22 caliber Caiman X last year but didn't try slugs in it until recently. When I cleaned it there was a noticeable choke and I just concentrated on pellets. But I had most of a tin of 21 and 25 grain H&N slugs and I was bored so I tried a few groups. To my surprise groups were pretty...

I am thinking another 177 will be my next purchase and it will be a carbine. Possibly with a bottle. The AvengeX tactical carbine is interesting but I am not a big tactical fan and I question how well made the Air Venturi stock will be (and is the comb height adjustable?). But I also find the...

I traced two squirrels after I shot them and thought others might be interested. One was over a pound and one well under. So a little one and a big one. The smaller weight if from my fishing scale and the higher weight is from a kitchen scale. The latter is more in the normal part of its...

A few minutes ago, less than an hour before sunset, I saw something going down the shore line behind my house. I was hoping it was a muskrat that has chewed some of the floats under my dock but it was this 8 lb 5 ounce raccoon. My dog found it first and wanted to attack it. She's almost 40...

I took this one with my Prod this morning. It is shooting copper plated H&N FTT pellets about 750 fps at the muzzle. The squirrel was only about 10 yards away so I like the low scope of the Prod. It dropped immediately but when I picked it up and saw the guts hanging out I got a little...

I shot my 18th squirrel with my P35-177 yesterday. I've also shot 18 with my P35-25. I had two run after impact with both guns. The 25's two were front of chest shots that probably only got one lung. The 177s were through shots behind the shoulder. I had worse hits with both guns that...

I've seen squirrels in the yard three times today. First time was brief and I had no chance for a shot. Second time was two squirrels and I lined up on what I thought was one of them but shot a tree instead. It was sitting on the stub of a limb I cut off with it's hair hanging over the edge...

I got another squirrel this morning about 7:30am. It was a little over 30 yards away on the ground looking for acorns. I used my P35-177 shooting H&N baracuda match 10.6 grain pellets a little under 900 fps. The pellet hit this 14 ounce male behind one fro t leg and went out behind but closer...
