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
Hunting With Springers, a Spring Tradition
You wouldn’t know we’re in to spring based on the weather….. I flew back from an overseas trip this weekend and we had to pass right over Minneapolis because of a major storm, a blizzard actually that dropped about 8″ of snow. I ended up being dropped in Cincinnati,but finally 26 hours after leaving Copenhagen … Continue reading

Sitting on a plane right now flying back home from Texas, where I attended the airgun show put together by friend and colleague Tom Gaylord. As soon as the one day event was over, Rossi Morreale and I jumped in a truck with our camera crew from American Airgunner and headed off on a multitude-day … Continue reading
Gearing up for a springer hunt!
As I mentioned in some recent posts here, Facebook, YouTube, and a couple magazine articles, most of my hunting recently has been with PCP’s but this year I intended to get out more with my springers. Don’t get me wrong, I love my PCP’s and they will make up the bulk of my hunting gear. … Continue reading

The answer I give is probably not the crisp and clear response that is hoped for, because there are many variables that come into play. Personal preference aside; it depends on the … Continue reading

From My Hunting Journal: A Mojave Rabbit Hunt
Here’s an entry I pulled out of my log book from a hunt I did awhile back. I’d time before the SHOT Show and decided to use it on a jackrabbit hunt out in a corner of the Mojave desert I’d been tromping through most of my life. Initially I roamed this area primarily to … Continue reading
Catching up
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 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
