It has been a while since I went hells blazing, stuffs to the wall crazy, so I figured it was time … There And Back Again I spent last week in Calgary, which explains why the site experienced a severe slowdown. Thursday and Friday marked the first time in over 150+ days (8 months) that [...]
Airgun purchase cannot be a casual affair. At least not for me. Quality adult airguns are expensive, and by the time you add on the expense of a quality scope and scope mount, you have some serious cash invested in a purchase. My inventory (probably better stated as my collection) is currently fairly simple – [...]
For your reading enjoyment, backyard pest control is back. A weekend recap of the highs and lows ob backyard springer pest control Beeman style. Saturday I took out a destructive chipper at about 20 yards (maybe 23) with my .22 Beeman R1. Of course most casual readers may find chipmunks cute and cuddly types, but [...]
Yesterday I spent some time re-mounting my replacement Bushnell ELITE 3200 to my beloved .22 R1. The R1 had been out of action for a good 7-8 weeks while I waited for Bushnell to do the needful with their warranty repair. And the needful they did; as I wrote yesterday, I have a brand spanking [...]
Well, it took about seven weeks, but I finally have an update on my scope issues. Today a brand spanking new Bushnell ELITE 3200 arrived courtesy of Brown. When I sent in the scope I was not sure what to expect. Would Bushnell honor the warranty? When they say that the dots on the glass [...]
Today was a banner day for best control. While the weather was great yesterday, I was stuck in the office most of the day, so I did not have an opportunity to work out my .177 R7 or .20 R1 Carbine (.22 R1 is currently sans scope, so it is not in the rotation). I [...]
Today is just a downright nasty rainy, thunder storming kind of day, so no real opportunities for outdoor activities. I wanted to feed my Beeman R1 Carbine some of the JSB Exact .20 pellets I just picked up from Straight Shooters, so I setup shop in the kitchen bathroom window, and waiting for a break [...]
Yesterday was an absolutely brilliant day. Sunny; low 70′s; very light breeze. A perfect day for taking off from work a little early. I got out of the office at 4PM; but hey, I will take it. After picking up a few cold ones (see thread below), I cruised by the park and headed home. [...]
Just for the “what the heck” aspect of it, I ordered “The Ultimate Guide to Squirrel Hunting: Everything You Need to Know to Hunt This Popular Game Animal” by Bob Gooch. The book was out of print, but via Amazon, I found a seller (kbooksusa) that could get me a “like new” condition hardback for [...]
I have not done much lately in the way of varmint patrolling, however I did take one misbegotten shot at a raider taking advantage of my generosity in one of the feeders. Black oil sunflower seed attracts all short of adventuresome types, so varmints are a foregone conclusion, however it does not mean that one [...]
