Before we get started, we want to let folks know that for the sake of expediency, we count all spring and gas-ram powered airguns as “springers.” The logic behind that choice has been discussed in detail so we don’t want to dive back into that here. Now, with that basic understanding, let’s take a look […]
The Benjamin Armada
The AR-15 pattern rifles are easily my favorite family of rifles. I love the modularity and the ability to customize you get with the AR. You really can make each rifle your own. When I first stepped into the world of airguns, finding that same amount of modularity was not really available and I always […]
The cold hard reality of hunting with airguns
Let’s see if this post generates any comments. I’ve taken small game with airguns on and off for many years. I’ve shot squirrels, rabbits, pest birds, ground hogs, jack rabbits, etc. I’ve used everything from .177 up to .35 cal airguns to take all the game listed above.

Walther Airguns: Modern Classics in the Making
Often, working in the air gun industry it’s fairly easy to get jaded on “new” airguns. What I mean by that is that even when new guns come out they are often times only reworked existing designs. In short, “new” is not usually new. When I first saw the Walther LGU Master and the Walther […]

Will we ever see another affordable European Springer?
I remember back when the RWS 34 would set you back just around $230. I’m sure there are some older airgunners that can remember it being even less, but that’s about when I came into the sport. A few years ago, as things always do, prices went up and now an RWS and scope will […]

IASS – International Air Shooting Sports
I love to shoot. I think I’ve mentioned that before in the past. In fact, I’m not partial all that much to what I’m shooting so long that I get to go shoot something. Heck, I was just looking at Nerf guns the other day for me and my 8 year old to use around […]
