Posted on September 2, 2016 by Jim Chapman

While cleaning up my archives, I found this article written about three years ago for one of the hunting magazines, and realized I never submitted it!

And this high power tackdriver did the job for me ….. again! The rifle is a .452 caliber generating about 600 fpe on full power … Continue reading »

Getting My Airguns Ready to Hunt

Posted on August 23, 2015 by Jim Chapman

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 »

Airgun Hunting the USA

Posted on February 15, 2015 by Jim Chapman

We have a fairly large community of hunters in the United States, and are favored with a lot of game and plentiful land to hunt on.

Posted on February 8, 2015 by Jim Chapman

If you read my posts or saw the videos from the SHOT Show, you know two of the areas generating a lot of interest were the new big bores and the new bullpups. I like bullpups and think they serve a purpose, though truth be told I am more of a traditionalist when it comes … Continue reading »
