Pest Control with the Bantam!
I just got back from a 9 day hunt in Texas, and had a great time! Started out at a ranch that was a couple hours north of Fort Worth, where I took a nice blackbuck and a fallow buck during filming for American Airgunner. Then I headed out to a ranch in West Texas, … Continue reading
Prepping the Compatto!
I’ll be leaving at the end of the week for a few hunts spread over a dozen days all around the great state of Texas. I’ll be doing hunts for a black buck, hogs, predators, and rabbits using several new rifles. The gun I’ve selected for my small game hunt is the Brocock Compatto, a compact little … Continue reading

I arrived Friday night and had to leave for a conference in Germany Sunday morning, which left me with one full day to cruise the show. I spent my … Continue reading
Compact Hunting Rifles: Stepping Out With The Brocock Concept Elite
OK, so it’s no big secrete amongst those that know me, I’ve got a thing for compact hunting rigs. Set me up with a selection of the premium PCP rifles, and my natural tendency is to gravitate towards the lightest, shortest, yet always full performance gun in the collection. After the recent AOA sponsored EBR … Continue reading
Another Short Hunt
Was out squirrel hunting today with the Brocock Specialist, love this little gun but more about this later. So far this year has been great for squirrel hunting up here in my new home of Minnesota, as I mentioned in the last post I’ve found a lot of public land to hunt, bushytail populations are … Continue reading
Hunting Season is On Us!!
Well, I’m starting to ease in to the hunting season with the squirrel opening in Minnesota this week. Had a lot going on, but managed to slip out for a few hours on Saturday morning and put a couple of bushytails in the game bag. I was using a little 12 fpe carbine that I’ve … Continue reading
