Hello All! I’ve been on the road and a little sporadic with posting again, been traveling overseas for work, attending some shooting events, getting in a couple hunts, and my computer time has gone way down. I’m going to try to rectify this, but stay with me as this is the start of my serious … Continue reading
Getting Ready for Extreme Benchrest
Well a year has pass quickly, and next week were back for another EBR, which along with SHOT Show is one of my favorite non-hunting airgun events of the year. Unfortunately again this year my time will be truncated, as I need to leave for Japan Sunday morning. But even though it makes for a … Continue reading

Getting My Airguns Ready to Hunt
This has been a busy week for me; I received a couple new big bores that I’ll be talking about in coming months, and started doing range work. I’ll save the details for later, but it’s hard to imagine the out of the box performance being delivered by todays production big bores! Just a few … Continue reading

The Wildcat Went Prairie Dog Hunting
About two months ago I received the FX Wildcat in .25 caliber, which I’ve been target shooting at ranges from 20-100 yards, and getting very good results which I’ve commented on from time to time. I really like this bullpup more than any other I’ve shot; the stock is light, ergonomic and compact, but it’s … Continue reading
Getting Results with a Springer!
Last week I spoke about avian pest control with springers, this week I will talk a bit more about how you can improve your results when hunting with a springer. As mentioned, I took time while shooting in Arizona recently to leave the PCP’s behind and take a number of springers out to hunt. Many of us have shifted … Continue reading
Avian Pest Shoot with Springers
I had a couple good days at the end of last week with my buddy Scott D and a few others doing a dove shoot with a a selection of different guns. One thing I really enjoyed was one full day in which we only used spring piston guns. First time I’d done that in … Continue reading
Enter the Wildcat…. A Personal Game Changer!
Over the last few years I’ve written about several PCP Bullpup rifles, and while I’ve liked some better than others, I often said things about the class like they are good examples of form following function, a good example of the class, but mentioning my preference tends towards carbines when I want a compact gun. … Continue reading
