Spring Piston Airguns
Springer Time Rabbit Hunt!
My Buddy Chacho and I laid down our PCP rifles for awhile, and headed out with a couple high-end springers for a rabbit hunt. These days I do the lions share of my hunting with PCP air rifles, but still like to kick it old school every now and again, and pull out the springers. … Continue reading
Squirrel Hunting Tactics
In past I’ve shared several of my hunts for squirrels, which have taken place across North America. Fox and grays squirrels in the deep woods of the Midwest, and the tufted eared Abert’s squirrel in the rugged Rocky Mountain regions of the Western states. And even though these species are similar, the ways in which … Continue reading
Hunting With Springers, a Spring Tradition

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.

Sparrows (I think) in China
Several Years ago, almost twenty as I now think back, I was living in Tokyo. I had to make a trip over to China on short notice, and a scheduling error found me with free time and stumbling into a really unique airgunning experience. I wrote this up for my first airgun hunting book, the American Airgunner, and … Continue reading
