    Squirrels and Tractor Supply fault

    My problem is I’m a gadget guy. I love researching and buying equipment related to the present hobby I have. A year and a half ago I got into astrophotography, now 7 Takahashi scopes with numerous cameras and mounts. Too bad I live where you can barely see the stars naked eye ( slight exaggeration)

    Squirrels and Tractor Supply fault

    Yeah I envy states like Texas that seem to like and support shooting competitions. I am in a club which has a 1000 yard range. Long range shooting is very rare around here. I did compete in ft and ftr class for a year but wasn’t into it with a passion to spend more on rifles. I had 2 f class...

    Squirrels and Tractor Supply fault

    I have posted the start of my pellet gun story already but this is to address my impression of my first air gun experience. We have plenty of gun stores in my Albany NY area but try to find an air gun. Online a hour or two before finding Tractor Supply had 2 different Umarex’s. Knowing nothing...

    Daystate Uhh ooo did I make a mistake? Regulated vs non

    Just ordered a Daystate huntsman Monday. Thought it was a great deal because it was a 25 and I have read here that the 25s were low powered and less resale. The real reason for the low price was this was an unregulated model. This is just for cellar and open window to backyard gun. However I...

    Buy once, cry once.

    Can’t agree with the majority here. If someone has the money and desire to purchase a $2000+ gun good for him. I personally would take it as a challenge. Tuning and getting an air gun to shoot can’t be more demanding than getting a thousand yard ftr gun, handload work up, optics, etc. on the...

    Wife put up a bird feeder October 28, the squirrels were swarming it. Told her I was going to Deter them a little. Had to do some quick shopping on line and saw that Tractor Supply had a Umerex pellet gun in the closest store. They actually had several models, one being a gas cartridge nitrogen...
